Question 7 of 20
Temka [501]

Answer:

I know that A contains a dependent clause because "until we get to Brooklyn" is a dependent clause which comes before the independent clause, hence why there is a comma. It looks like B and C might have typos at the end because they end in commas and not periods. So the answer is A. Hope it helps!

Nellie Bly is a reporter. Who does she pretend to be, and why? Cite textual evidence from the selection to support your answer.
Korolek [52]

Explanation:

pretended she was crazy and got herself committed, all to help improve conditions in a New York City mental institution.

“The insane asylum on Blackwell’s Island is a human rat-trap. It is easy to get in, but once there it is impossible to get out.”

Those words, describing New York City’s most notorious mental institution, were written by journalist Nellie Bly in 1887.

NeX [460]

Answer:

"We feel, conceive or reason, laugh or weep;

Embrace fond woe, or cast our cares away."

Explanation:

The most acknowledged work of Percy Bysshe Shelley titled 'A Defence of Poetry' proposes that 'human emotions constantly change with their experiences in life' and thus, he believed that poetry must possess the ability to bring this change(to inspire and transform the reader). This idea is clearly reflected in the above lines of 'Mutability' i.e. 'we feel...cares away.'

These lines portray that human emotions constantly vary with their experiences as good experiences bring 'joy and laughter' while the sad encounters evoke 'weep or sorrow.' It suggests one can choose to either 'embrace' the 'woes' or let it go away. Thus, this collaboration of distinct emotions implies that human emotions vary with time and experiences faced by humans throughout their life.
