Poetry written in Old English has no rhyme. Such is the case of Beowulf, which has instead an alliterative structure, with each line split into two halves, with two metrical stresses per half. Seamus Heaney's translation reflected this structure by reproducing the strong rhythm and alliteration of the original poem.

Which type of writing is used in science lessons?
katovenus [111]

Answer:

Expository writing

Explanation:

Expository writing is where the author intends to inform, explain, describe or define their subject to you. This is the most common type of writing you will find in text books and online. As the author is mostly trying to tell you all about the subject, their opinions are left out leaving you with facts and figures instead of trying to defend or support an opinion. An example of expository writing is "How-to" articles, where the author is explaining how to build or do something yourself.

This question was on an exam i took and got it right so hope this helps :)

In the story “Story of An Hour,” the story revolved around Mrs. Mallard’s agony, grief and happiness all at once.

Mrs. Mallard had shown happiness and loss. She had been happy that she was glad that her husband is no longer alive. She was finally from her unhappy marriage, but she also felt loss because even if she doesn’t love him that much she had lived with him and somehow accepted him in her life.

Mrs. Mallard had been a perfect example of how Human Nature works. She smiled, cried, lived and died. She experiences a variety of emotions in her predicament.

Unplanned humor is natural, I'd say that's why. Planned humor is often classified as trying to hard so sometimes it seems annoying unlike unplanned humor
