Answer:

  • We use the pronoun 'he' to replace a name in a particular sentence.

For instance, instead of saying <em>"John has a dog"</em>, we could say <em>"He has a dog"</em>

  • We use 'him' when we replace a name in a sentence which is used as an object.

We could either say <em>"The dog belongs to John"</em>, or <em>"The dog belongs to him"</em>. (Note that in this case, the dog is the subject, and John (he) is the object)

  • It is now easy to understand the difference between 'who' and 'whom': the difference between these two pronouns is the same as the difference between 'he' and 'him'. 'Who' replaces a subject - a person that performs the action, while 'whom' replaces an object.

For instance, we could ask:<em> "</em><em>Who</em><em> has a dog?"</em>, but we would say<em> "I am not sure </em><em>whom</em><em> this dog belongs to."</em>

4. Which of the following best describes what the speaker sees in the "days ahead"? (Lines 11-14)
gtnhenbr [62]

The option which best describes what the speaker sees in the "days ahead" is:

A. the fall of America.

This question refers to the poem "America" by Jamaican-American author <u>Claude McKay</u>, more specifically to lines 11 to 14, in which the speaker addresses the fall of America:

<em>"Darkly I gaze into the </em><em>days ahead</em><em>,</em>

<em>And see her might and granite wonders there,</em>

<em>Beneath the touch of Time's unerring hand,</em>

<em>Like priceless treasures sinking in the sand."</em>

  • What the speaker means is that he sees the fall of America in "the days ahead." Throughout the poem, the speaker talks of his bittersweet relationship with America. His feelings are somewhere between love and hate or resentment.
  • Although he can see America's wonders, beauty, and potential, he can also see its flaws - the prejudice, the corruption.
  • <u>In conclusion</u>, the speaker believes America's fate is a bad one. In the future, the country will fall.

Which of the following best states the author’s overall purpose in this text?
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The option which best states the author's overall purpose in this text is:

D. To inform the reader of a theory that attempts to explain why generations act the way they do.

Explanation:

I looked this question up and found out it concerns the text "What Past Generations Can Teach Us About Our Future," by former Newsweek correspondent Mike Kubic (born in 1927).

According to the article, Strauss & Howe developed a theory that explains and, in a way, even predicts how each generation will act. There are four "turnings" or stages which generations go through. According to Strauss & Howe's observations, these stages always happen in the same order: high, awakening, unraveling, and crisis. The generation belonging to each turning will always present certain traits and behaviors concerning their sense of community, individualism, economic prosperity, respect for institutions, etc.

<u>According to Kubic, this theory has been both praised and criticized, even though, so far, it has been able to successfully make predictions about the American society. However, it is important to note that Kubic does not praise or criticize it himself. All he does is describe and explain it. His purpose is to inform readers about the existence of the theory.</u>
