December 21st was the Winter Solstice in the northern hemisphere. That's the day when Earth's north pole was pointed completely away from the Sun. If you lived north of the Arctic Circle, like Santa Claus, you would have experienced 24 hours of darkness. It was the day the Sun never set.
The reason we have solstices, and seasons, is because Earth is tilted on its axis about 23.5 degrees. This causes each hemisphere to receive different amounts of sunlight throughout the year. After June 21, the sun's direct rays will again begin to shift southward from the Tropic of Cancer toward Earth's equator.

From The Odyssey - Penelope, what can the reader predict about Odysseus and Penelope's future relationship?
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

They will resume their marriage, but they will feel estranged because of their long time apart.

Explanation:

Odysseus was gone for a very long time. During that time, he made many mistakes, including infidelity. At home, Penelope had to face tremendous stress in maintaining the Kingdom in Odysseus' name. Even though they reunite, it would be impossible to expect that they will be able to pick up right where they left off so many years before.

WHAT TO THE SLAVE IS THE FOURTH OF JULY?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Frederick Douglass, 1818-1895, was an African American who sought throughout his life to bring social reform to the U.S and to stop slavery and its consequences not just on the African American people, but on the entire nation at large. Having been a slave himself, he escaped bondage and gained his freedom after escaping to England and Ireland thanks to the education he attained from his former owner. He also became an orator and dedicated his life to the abolition movement. In this particular speech, given on the ocassion of a Fourth of July celebration, Douglass does not so much expound on the greatness that means celebrating this national holiday of independence but rather on the fact that not all Americans, including African Americans, can enjoy it because some are still tied through slavery. He mentions the fact that he was basically coarced to speak on this day as if he were also a part of it, happy for it, but in truth he decides to show his listeners that he is first, and foremost, black and he sides with slaves completely. Because of his choice in this matter, of making people aware of who and what he is and was, he says clearly, from the 3rd paragraph, lines 1 through 16, that celebrating the 4th of July with them, when so many of his brethren suffer bondage would be treason. This is why, the correct answer is C.

When the person performing the action in the sentence is also the object of the sentence, the writer should use a (possessive, r
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

C: Reflexive.

Explanation:

A pronoun is a word that is used in place of a noun. This means that pronouns replace the noun in a sentence to avoid repetition and to make the sentence seem or sound smoother.

When a pronoun is used to refer to a person doing the action and also is the object of the sentence, then that pronoun used will be reflexive in nature. This means that the pronoun reflects the subject as well as the object refers to the same person. This is easy to identify by the presence or use of "self/ selves" in the suffix of a pronoun.

For example, in the sentence <u>"She ate the whole cake herself"</u>, the pronoun "she" does the action "ate" and then refers back to "herself" which makes the pronoun reflexive in nature.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
