English

Answer:

<em>The best preparation for a game is </em><em>to practice until you know all the plays</em><em>. </em>

<em>The crowd was excited</em><em> to see a great play. </em>

<em>To cheer good plays made by both teams</em><em> is good sportsmanship.</em>

Explanation:

An infinitive phrase is a set of words, with an infinitive as its main part and with some modifiers and complements as an addition. All these words act as one phrase and have one function in a sentence (infinitive phrase can act as a noun or an adjective or an adverb).

Since nothing is underlined in these answers, let's find infinitive phrases for each of them:

-The best preparation for a game is to practice until you know all the plays - infinitive here is "to practice" but if we want to be more precise on the amount of practice and to modify this infinitive, then our phrase would be "to practice until you know all the plays".

- The crowd was excited to see a great play - the infinitive is "to see" but we don't know what, so the entire phrase is "to see a great play"

- To cheer good plays made by both teams is good sportsmanship - the infinitive is "to cheer" and the sentence "To cheer is good sportsmanship" could be valid. But, if we want to be more precise, we would say "to cheer good plays". Of course, we can go into even more details and say the entire phrase "to cheer food plays made by both teams"

You have just read the sonnet "The Harlem Dancer" by Claude McKay. In a short essay, analyze the effect of the dancer’s point of
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Her smile is fake. She was somewhere else in her head. She is detached from the situation. The audience thinks that she is delighted to be dancing in front of them. This is about who she is and who she presents herself to be to others. It is really all in the audience's mind that she is enjoying herself. She is very unhappy. It can be really difficult to look at how things are and then trying to understand someone's inner thoughts and self.

The audience is almost predatory and she is graceful and wants to contain her dignity. The speaker in the poem is also pointing to the injustice of society and how she is being dehumanized. Harlem was a poor and mostly black neighborhood. She could get a job there and took it so she can afford to live.

This poem is really about social justice and how these young girls are exploited

I did not write your essay, but I know that you can do it with this information :)
