Answer:
The poet develops the theme by:
1. comparing overcoming the hardships in life to weathering a storm.
Explanation:
In "He Had His Dream" by Paul Laurence Dunbar, the speaker describes someone who does not let the difficulties of life determine his fate. Such difficulties are compared, in an extended metaphor, to a storm. Even though the stormy winds are strong enough to almost sink the ship, the man remains strong and hopeful. He tells himself the storm will soon pass, and he will be able to reach his destination when it does. The speaker is thus, comparing overcoming the hardships in life to weathering a storm.
Answer: C) ABCB.
Explanation: To determinate the rhyme scheme of a poem we need to pay attention to the ending sound of each line and we need to assign the same letter to similar sounds and different letters to different sounds. In the given poem, we have that the second and last lines end with similar sounds: "toes" and "knows" and the first and third lines end with different sounds: "bottom" and "end", and the second verse is also like that (second and last lines: "shy" and "spy" and the first and third lines are different: "bold" and "me"). So the rhyme scheme would be ABCB.
Answer:
Let's discuss the meaning of these modifiers first.
A misplaced modifier, as the name suggests, is a word that modifies the wrong word, thus changing the meaning of the sentence (An old child's shirt was used to stop the bleeding - this would suggest that a shirt belonged to an old child, which is highly unlikely. Correct way to say this is A child's old shirt was used...)
A dangling modifier is a modifier that can not be logically connected to the word it modifies, most often because the word it modifies is left out of the sentence (When five years old, my mom remarried - it would be absurd if someone married, let alone remarried at the age of five. This modifier lacks the word it modifies: when I was five years old, my mom remarried).
We can conclude that the correct way to revise these sentences is to change a modifier's place (if misplaced) or add its modifying word (if dangling).
In our example, we see that the map was useless because someone (possibly the reader) was confused by its symbols. However, the confused reader is left out of this sentence, so it might seem as if the map was confused, which is highly illogical.
So, this is an example of a <em>dangling modifier</em> and the best way to revise this sentence is to add a missing modifying word.
"Since Jack was confused by the symbols, the map was useless" could be one of the correct revisions.
The correct answer is (C), they persuaded the king to lower tariffs and help with trade.
