The connotative meaning of the word “trunk” in the poem is “a container”. In the poem “<em>Verses Upon the Burning of our House</em>” by Anne Bradstreet (1666), the author expresses the traumatic <u>loss of her home and her possessions</u>. After awakening to the tragic event, she goes outside and watches her house and possessions burning down. Once the fire has been put out, she mourns for the physical items destroyed: the <em>trunk </em>and the <em>chest</em>, everything she “<em>counted best</em>”; her “<em>pleasant things</em>”.

What is the advantage and disadvantage of propagating by pollination?
Temka [501]
In self- pollination, there is no diversity in the genes and therefore the purity of the race is maintained.
The plants do not depend on external factors for pollination and even smaller quantities of pollen grains produce have a good success rate in getting pollinated. In the case of cross-pollinating plants, there is a threat of the entire crop dying out if there are no pollinators to facilitate the process. The disadvantage of self-pollinating flowers and plants is that there is little genetic diversity because the same genes are passed down from the parent plant to the offspring.

Using the Latin root mort meaning death and the prefix im meaning not, the meaning of immortality as used in this sentence from
NARA [144]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The root mort means death and the prefix im means not. This prefix is used in many other English words such as immaculate, immature, immediate, imminent, immeasurable, etc., and negates the effect of the root word.

In the case of im + mort, the word immortal means not dead or never experiencing death. Another way of expressing this idea is a never-ending or undending existence.
