Read the excerpt from Princess Ida by Gilbert and Sullivan.

Women of Adamant, fair neophytes—

Who thirst for such instruction as we give,

Attend, while I unfold a parable.

The elephant is mightier than Man,

Yet Man subdues him. Why? The elephant

Is elephantine everywhere but here (tapping her forehead)

And Man, whose brain is to the elephant’s

As Woman’s brain to Man’s—(that’s rule of three),—

Conquers the foolish giant of the woods,

As Woman, in her turn, shall conquer Man.

Answer:

Blank Verse

Explanation:

A blank verse is a literary device that is usually written in iambic pentameter. While it is similar and can be confused with free verse, they are both different because although blank verse is written without rhymes, it requires a consistent meter while free verse has no rules to follow about rhyming or rhythmic meter.

I need a speech for student council, im running for president. Help?

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

I have ran and failed before. I learned my mistakes the next year and became VP. You really need to show what you can do to change what is bad. Students want to elect someone they like and know is competent. Be a leader in the classroom. Participate in class discussions and get good grades, it’s how you’ll prove your competence. Don’t be the class clown or the student who’s always on their cell phone or asleep. Make posters. The posters can be super simple; even just a print out of the slogan on normal computer paper will work. However, you should have a lot of them. The exact number will vary proportionally to the number of students in your class (or school, if you’re running for the overall Student Government President). What I mean by that is if your class has 100 students, 10 posters may be enough, but if you have 1000 students in your class, you may want to put up 50 or more posters. Count on some posters being ripped down or disappearing. Most schools have rules against this, but it’s hard to catch someone ripping down a poster. Plan on making extras. Some of these tips helped me in becoming VP so I hope this will help you.

Unclear question. However, I provided a brief about a verb and clause.

Explanation:

In the English language, a verb refers to words that help describes an action done by a person or thing (the subject), or the state of the subject of a sentence. A clause other hand is the smallest grammatical unit that can express a complete thought in a sentence. Hence, the verb clause is a type of clause that acts as an independent clause in a sentence.

For example, the sentence; "The boys are trying very hard."
