This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

<em>I slowed still more, my shadow pacing me, dragging its head through the weeds that hid the fence. </em>

​     William Faulkner, The Sound and the Fury

Analyze:

In this sentence, form imitates meaning. How does Faulkner slow the sentence down, reinforcing the sentence’s meaning?

Answer:

Faulkner slow the sentence down, reinforcing the sentence’s meaning by using words that help convey this idea.

Explanation:

If you pay attention, as soon as you begin to read the phrase, you find <em>"I slowed still more" </em>and somehow your brain also "makes reading slow". Continue like this by adding the word <em>"dragging"</em> reinforcing this idea.

The choice of an author's words has a lot to do with the impact it will have on the reading. That is why the authors use tools such as tone or voice to generate these effects.

In which revision of this sentence are commas used correctly?
Maru [420]

Answer:

The revision of the sentence in which commas are used correctly is:

B. Mr. Rodriguez is one of the most popular teachers at my school, but he soon will move to Phoenix, Arizona.

Explanation:

The first thing we must keep in mind is that<u> a comma should never separate a subject from its predicate,</u> unless there is an appositive between them. The sentence we are analyzing here has no appositives, which allows us to <u>eliminate letter A</u> for, in it, the comma is placed between the subject and its predicate.

<u>When we have two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction, we should place a comma right before the conjunction. In this case, the coordinating conjunction is "but". That makes letter B the correct option. Letter C is incorrect because it uses another comma immediately after the conjunction. Finally, letter D is also incorrect because it uses no commas at all.</u>

irakobra [83]

Answer:

Beowulf

The son of Healfdene is Hrothgar who became the King of the Geats.  During Hrothgar's reign, Grendel tormented the Geats people for twelve years by killing off Hrothgar's followers and generals.

Explanation:

In the epic poem titled "Beowulf," Grendel, a monster killed the followers and generals of Hrothgar.  The situation became hopeless until Beowulf, an Anglo Saxon warrior volunteered to fight Grendel.  Utilizing his battle prowess, Beowulf murdered Grendel and faced Grendel's mother who fought him in order to revenge her son's death in the hands of Beowulf.  According to the poem, Beowulf was able to defeat Grendel's mother as well, thus ending the monstrous torment of the Geats people.  Beowulf was later rewarded for this rescue with a kingly crown and succession.
