The correct answer is parody.

Parody happens when authors try to imitate another piece of literature, or the entire genre, or another author, but do so in a humorous way, or sometimes, even a mocking one.

In literature, we can find a famous example of parody in Alexander Pope's narrative poem 'The R.ape of the Lock,' which is written in order to parody the genre of epic, heroic poems, and their seemingly grand themes.

Which of the following is a complete
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

B is the complete sentence.

Explanation:

This is because the transition word "when" is used to link two complete sentences.

When links the two sentences "everyone left the party" and "the room was full of tables, and the floor was covered with confetti.

The sentence everyone left the party is a complete sentence because it has a subject (everyone) followed by a verb (left).

The sentence the room was full of tables and the floor was covered with confetti is a complete sentence because it has two subjects (the room, the floor) followed by two verbs ( was full of, covered).

A is not a complete sentence because After links a sentence with a fragment. "Complete with fireworks" does not have a subject, nor a verb, so it cannot be a complete sentence.

B is not a complete sentence because it has a linkage, "Now that", with no second sentence. It only has the one sentence of  "captain is the head of our school football team.

Hope this helps!

Read lines 395 – 398 of Beowulf:Now you may enter, in your battle-armor, / wearing war-masks, to see Hrothgar; let shields stay
vaieri [72.5K]

The correct answer is swords.


The Anglo-Saxons frequently used kennings in their work. A kenning is a mini riddle, usually hyphenated, that was used to describe something. For example, the kenning "she-wolf" was used to describe Grendel's mother, as it highlights her ferocity.


Here, the kenning "battle-shaft" is used to describe their swords, which must wait to be used until the deliberations have finished. This is an appropriate kenning for a sword because swords (a) are used in battle and (b) are long and narrow.

Which pronoun best completes the sentence?
jok3333 [9.3K]
The correct answer is B. 'we; subject'. If it helps, try rephrasing the question as a statement.

Jenny and ___ are walking to the soccer fields this afternoon.

The missing word has to be a subject and not a predicate nominative, since 'walking' is an action verb (predicate nominatives are only present in sentences with a linking verb). Therefore, the answer is either A or B. Now, let's substitute both 'us' and 'we' into the sentence and see which one works better.

Jenny and us are walking to the soccer fields this afternoon.

Jenny and we are walking to the soccer fields this afternoon.

If it helps, try using a singular pronoun instead of a plural pronoun, since both sentences sound a bit strange.

Jenny and me are walking to the soccer fields this afternoon.

Jenny and I are walking to the soccer fields this afternoon.

Now it's pretty obvious which one is correct. I think we've all had an English teacher or a Grammar Nazi correct us when we say 'Me and my friend'. 'Me' cannot be correct here, therefore the plural form of 'me', 'us', cannot be correct either.

Therefore, the answer is B. 'we; subject'.

Hope this helps!
