Answer:Oliver Goldsmith’s essays reflect two significant literary transitions of the late eighteenth century. The larger or more general of these was the beginning of the gradual evolution of Romanticism from the Neoclassicism of the previous one hundred years. Oppressed by the heavy “rule of reason” and ideas of taste and polish, readers of this transitional period gradually began to respond more to the imaginative and the emotional in literature. This transition serves as a backdrop for a related evolution that played an essential role in the development of the modern short story. At this time the well-established periodical essay began a glacially slow movement away from its predominant emphasis on a formal exposition of ideas; contemporary essayists, none more prominent than Goldsmith, began to indulge more their taste for the personal approach and for narrative. The result was increased experimentation with characterization, story line, setting, and imagery; concurrent with these developments, style, theme, tone, and structural patterning received particular attention. Varying degrees and types of emphasis on these elements pushed the essay form in many diverse directions. Of all the contemporary essayists, Oliver Goldsmith best reflects these developments.

How would I separate the subject from the predicate from each other in this sentence

icang [17]

Answer:

Canning or freezing keeps food from spoiling.

Explanation:

I've underlined the subject and written the predicate in bold letters.

The subject is the part of the sentence that tells us who or what is performing an action expressed by the verb. It can also tell us who or what is being described by the predicate.

The predicate tells us what the subject is doing or describes the subject.

Here, the subject are the words canning and freezing. This is a compound subject - a subject that consists of two or more simple subjects that share a verb or verb phrase. The verb these words share is keeps. This verb is a part of the complete predicate: keeps food from spoiling.

To confirm this, we can ask:

for the subject - What keeps food from spoiling? Canning or freezing.
for the predicate - What does canning or freezing do? It keeps food from spoiling.
