Answer:

C). Parallelism.

Explanation:

'Parallelism' is demonstrated as the literary device that involves repetition of words, or phrases with similar or parallel grammatical structure, meter, or sound, etc. It allows the author to propose a pattern as well as a rhythm that promotes the smooth flow of ideas and enhance its persuasiveness.

In the given passage from 'The Grapes Of Wrath', the author employs 'parallelism' which is reflected through the repetition of the phrase 'could not', 'the land', etc. that offers a balance and rhythm to it. It allows the smooth transition of ideas and enhances the understanding and persuasiveness for the readers. Therefore, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

A graceful loser is a person that takes a loss "on the chin" and does not act bitter, but instead congratulates the winner in a non-malicious manner.

For example, if a player loses a tennis match and is quite happy to go across the court to shake the hands of his opponents, wish him well and walk away, then he is a graceful loser.

On the other hand, a person who loses in a less than dignified manner is a person that throws tantrums, complains, or rejects the result of a match because he feels he was treated unfairly or his opponent did not deserve the win.

An example is a tennis player attacking the umpire, shouting and rejecting the outcome because he feels some of the umpire's calls were wrong and his opponent was lucky to win

Which sentence correctly uses a coordinating clause?
Vikki [24]

Answer:

D. Dad went into the bedroom, but first he stopped to pet the dog.

Explanation:

A coordinate clause is a clause introduced by one of the coordinating conjunctions (<em>for, and, nor, but, or, yet, </em>or <em>so</em>). Together with the main clause, one or more coordinate clauses make up a compound sentence - a sentence that consists of two or more independent clauses.

In order to solve this question, we need to determine which sentence contains a coordinating conjunction. Based on the list of coordinating conjunctions I've included, we can see that the correct answer is sentence D (<em>but </em>is the coordinating conjunction that introduces the coordinate clause). The rest of the sentences contain subordinating conjunctions (<em>although, if, after</em>), which is why they are incorrect.

This is why option D is the correct one.
