Read the excerpt below and answer the question. So now Della's beautiful hair fell about her rippling and shining like a cascade

of brown waters. It reached below her knee and made itself almost a garment for her. And then she did it up again nervously and quickly. Once she faltered for a minute and stood still while a tear or two splashed on the worn red carpet. On went her old brown jacket; on went her old brown hat. With a whirl of skirts and with the brilliant sparkle still in her eyes, she fluttered out the door and down the stairs to the street. What does the author’s diction indicate about the way Della felt about her hair? She stuffed it under a brown hat so she wasn’t too proud. The splashing tears indicate that she was quite tall. She was proud of the way it looked and felt. The fact that she “fluttered” out of the door shows that she was not determined.

In the excerpt from the short story "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry, what the author diction indicates about the way Della fell about her hair is <em>She was proud of the way it looked and felt.</em> She is proud of her hair that reaches below her knee, it is like an ornament for her. It's Christmas Eve and Della wants to buy a present for her husband Jim. She has only one dollar and eighty-seven cents. She goes to the street to look for a present. She stops in front of an advertisement saying "Hair articles of all Kinds". The owner buys her hair and she gets twenty dollars. She sees a golden watch chain for Jim, it's twenty-one dollars. She buys the chain and goes back home to wait for Jim to come. She prays that he still finds her pretty.

I don’t understand. Can someone help me please
Vlada [557]

I believe this is a clause because it has a subject and a predicate

the predicate being: Inspirational leader

the subject being: Mohandas gandhi

sorry if im wrong i tried

here is the difference between a phrase and clause that i googled sice i didn't really know how to explain it

On the other extreme, the clause is a part of a sentence, that contains a subject (noun phrase) that actively performs an action (finite verb form). A phrase is a part of a clause or a sentence. As against, a clause is a sentence fragment. A clause has a subject and predicate, whereas a phrase doesn't.

I hope this helps x3

How does each power source work?
denpristay [2]

Answer  :A power supply takes the AC from the wall outlet, converts it to unregulated DC, and reduces the voltage using an input power transformer, typically stepping it down to the voltage required by the load. For safety reasons, the transformer also separates the output power supply from the mains input.

Electricity is most often generated at a power plant by electromechanical generators, primarily driven by heat engines fueled by combustion or nuclear fission but also by other means such as the kinetic energy of flowing water and wind. Other energy sources include solar photovoltaics and geothermal power.
