Answer:

"Woman as gold as the river bottom" means:

An analysis of the combination of the suffering of the creek and the seek of gold in Desoto's that never succeeded.

Explanation:

To understand this we need to understand that author and the background. First of all Joy Harjo was a Feminist, therefore it develops critics surrounding social gender roles in her works. In this poem and line, she develops an analysis of the ideal society has imposed to women and how it is impossible to find it because it was created in the imaginary, the suffering of women to fulfill that role, and the struggle society has as a cause of the creation of the ideal. Thus, it is a stylistic device to think about this phenomenon.

This short excerp from Joy Harjo´s poem " New Orleans", is a metaphor, which basically describes the futility of following impossible dreams or trying to achieve something that will never be yours or that simply,is out of your reach, no matter how stubborn you might be and no matter how much determination you have, you will never reach it, so dancing with a woman as gold as the river bottom also represnts the persistance of Spanish explorer Hernando DeSoto who died trying to find and conquer a big empire as he had witnessed in Peru.

Sentence Fragments
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

B. Before they were dismissed from school, the children collected their belongings  from their lockers and put on their coats.

Explanation:

Sentence fragments are fragments of sentences that are together but not complete as a sentence. They are more like dependent clauses, with no meaning, and also doesn't make a full meaningful sentence. Sometimes, different punctuation may be required to make them into complete sentences.

Among the given sentences, option B is a complete sentence with correct punctuation and sentence structure.

The other options are sentence fragments as they either are incomplete sentences or they need a change in the punctuation used.

Like in sentence A, the period/ full stop between "lockers" and "And" should be removed. And change the "A" into "a".

In sentence C, the same case with the position of the period. Removing the period after "school", change it into a comma and changing the capital "T" from "The" to "t".

Sentence D also has the same error- the period after "belongings" and changing "F" into "f" of "From".

Thus, the <u>correct answer is sentence B. </u>
