Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Nominative absolute.

Explanation:

Nominative absolute in grammar is a sentence construction where a noun, noun phrase, or pronoun is in the nominative and is used to start or end a sentence. It is normally used as a loose modifier of the whole sentence, with the noun, noun phrase, or pronoun followed by the modifiers.

In the given sentence, the nominative absolute is <em>"the weather remaining turbulent"</em>, which also acts as a modifier for the independent clause <em>"we will postpone our canoe trip." </em>

Thus, the <u>correct answer is nominative absolute.</u>

Which literary device does Jane Austen use to highlight her characters' traits in Pride and Prejudice?
Andrej [43]

Jane Austen uses Omniscient Narration to highlight her characters' traits in Pride and Prejudice. The book is generally narrated by the third person or as Elizabeth. But it allows the reader to study the characters by what they do, what others say about their endeavors and how they act in the presence of the other characters.

Identify the adverb phrase and the word it modifies in the following sentence:
mariarad [96]
In my opinion, the correct answer is <span>B) for Halloween // is decorated</span>. Adverb phrases are extended adverbs or phrases that function like adverbs, modifying the sentences' predicates. They tell us how, when, where, why the verb action is performed. In this case, the predicate is is decorated. We can ask the mental question: why or what for is the house decorated? The answer to this question would be for Halloween. And that is our adverb phrase. It shouldn't be confused with an adjective phrase "down the street", which describes the subject "the house".
