1. The idea of alien life (proposed many years ago) has not yet been proven- Participle phrase.

The participle phrase starts either with the present (dependably ending with -ing) or past (dependably ending with -ed)

The participle phrase includes the modifiers or objects to complete the thought of the sentence.

2. (According to the letter) the wedding is June 25th.- Prepositional.

A prepositional phrase refers to the phrase which begins with a preposition and ends with the 'objects' of the prepositions that are nouns, gerund, clause or pronoun.

The pattern of the prepositional phrase follows by the object of the preposition having one or more modifiers.

3. Mikayla's homeroom teacher, (mr. Jones) is very proud of her- Appositive

Appositive refers to a word or a noun that is followed by another phrase or noun which identifies or rename the noun or word. In other words, it refers to the literary device which appears after or before a noun phrase or noun, used with a comma.

4. (Talking) is not allowed in class- Gerund

Gerund in a sentence functions as a noun. Hence in a sentence, a gerund will act as direct objects, subjects, subject complements, an object of prepositions or indirect objects. Every gerund ends in -ing, and so does present participles. On the other hand, present participles act as modifiers or complete progressive verbs.

What are effectiveness and ineffectiveness of community policing forum?

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Community Policing brings police and citizens together to prevent crime and solve neighborhood problems. With community policing, the emphasis is on stopping crime before it happens, not responding to calls for service after the crime occurs. Community policing gives citizens more control over the quality of life in their community. Community policing means police become part of the neighborhood. This helps police get a better sense of resident’s needs and helps residents to develop greater trust in the police. In essence the community joins the police department. Those “who believe that community policing is practiced in their neighborhood are more likely to express favorable opinions of the police.Together, in partnership, the community and police department work together to achieve a common goal of a safer, better place to live. It is “democracy in action

Implementing community policing changes the structure of policing and how it is managed. Community policing helps build up and strengthen the community. It also links the police and the community together. The partnership that develops over time can ultimately help the police find the underlying causes of crime within the neighborhood. By getting the community involved, the police have more resources available to them to help in crime prevention. By familiarizing themselves with the members of the community, officers are more likely to obtain valuable information about criminals and their activities. Also they are more likely to obtain a reliable evaluation of the needs of citizens and their expectations of the police.

As previously stated, community policing plays a major part in police-community relations and problem-solving. In order to develop a partnership with the community, first the police must form a great relationship with the neighborhood. The police must try to involve the neighborhood in its pursuit to control crime. Most community concerns and solutions are identified through problem-solving. The objective is to to lessen crime and disorder by diligently examining the attributes of concerns in communities and then applying the most suited problem-solving solutions.

Having been introduced to the history of the Belgian Congo what common about European control of Africa do you think Joseph Conr

Lorico [155]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can answer the following.

The common about European control of Africa I think Joseph Conrad will make in the "Heart of Darkness," is the way the author documents and describes the brutality of European kings to exploit the many raw materials and natural resources of the African continent. In this case, King Leopold of Belgium in Congo, depriving African people of their native lands and making them simple workers laboring for long hours under a very low salary. A true expression of abusive practices of European superpowers during the so-called Scramble for Africa.

Joseph Conrad is the author of "Heart of Darkness" which published in 1899 in "Blackwood's Magazine." He later created a book in 1902.

What is the difference between the three types of irony? Pretend like you have to explain it to a younger sibling or younger stu

lianna [129]

Answer and Explanation:

There are three types of irony in the literature and each has completely different effects on the text. These types of irony are called verbal irony, dramatic irony and situational irony.

Dramatic irony allows the text to reveal story information to readers, not characters. An example of this occurs when the reader knows who the masked hero of the story is, while the characters do not know.

Verbal irony is presented in a text when a character says something, but it means the opposite of what he said. An example of this can be seen when a car passes through a puddle of water throwing water at a character who gets completely wet and says angrily "That's great! It was exactly what I wanted."

Last, but not least, situational irony occurs when the text presents evidence for a predictable ending (of a situation), but has a completely different ending. An example of this can be seen when at a wedding, the bride at the time of answering "yes" answers "no."
