Yes you are correct on this one. The answer is C. Symbolism.
Symbolism is a  <span>symbolic meaning attributed to natural objects or facts.
For example: </span>
<span>"the old-fashioned symbolism of flowers"</span>

Answer:

Symbolism

Explanation:

Symbolism, as a figurative language, invests objects, traits, colors, animals, etc. with a symbolic meaning that is different from their actual form. In the excerpt, the black box aims to represent another concept, perhaps, it represents how things or beings become old, weary or less attractive with the passage of time.

The other options are incorrect because the passage does not make any comparison (metaphor or simile), and there are no objects nor animals with human attributes (personification).

"who are compassionate" What accurately describes this phrase? verb phrase, noun phrase, adjectival clause, or adverbial clause?
Ivahew [28]

The correct answer is adjectival clause.

An adjectival clause is a dependent clause that works to describe a noun in a sentence. It is usually made of a group of words instead of one word only. All the words work together to modify the noun or pronoun.

A dependent clause contains a subject and a verb but it's not a complete sentence and it can not stand alone.

Adjectival clauses begin with a relative pronoun that connects them to the word they describe. The relative pronouns are: that, where, then, who, which, why etc.

In the clause<em> who are compassionate</em>, the<em> who</em> is the relative pronoun. The clause refers and modifies the noun appearing before in the sentence.

A conclusion includes a _____ concluding statement that the reader cannot ignore.
sergiy2304 [10]
The answer would have to be D, unchallenging due to its context. The author is describing a final word that is described as something that is obvious (the reader can’t ignore it).
Therefore, within that context, the adjective would have to be something that “grabs” the readers’ attention. That would obviously rule out commonplace, which, by name alone doesn’t catch you as something unable to ignore. Oddly that answers B and C are the same, but can also be ruled out quickly within context. “Comfort” also suggests that it is almost redundant, but certainly not something to keep an audiences’ attention.
The only answer, therefore, that answer that makes sense within context, as well as providing an eye-keeping ending for a conclusion paragraph would be unchallenging.
