Answer:

Your answer would be that the participial phrase is "talking rapidly" and the word it modifies is the pronoun <em>she.</em>

Explanation:

The participle in the sentence above is "talking rapidly". This participial phrase is a present participial phrase as it ends in -ing. Since all phrases requiere two or more words, participle phrases often include objects and/or modifiers. In this case, the participle phrase contains a modifier, the adverb "rapidly".  What is more, participle phrases always function as adjectives by adding description to the sentence. As you can see, the participle phrase in question premodifies the personal pronoun <em>she. </em>

What are the most important points that a speaker makes.
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

Reinforce who you are. At most conferences, you will be introduced, and that introduction should make the audience look forward to hearing your story.

Help everyone find you. A lot of presentations end with a slide that shows the speaker's name, URL, Twitter handle, and email address.

Share real stories. People love stories. The best presentations I've seen didn't feel like presentations at all--they were stories told by people with amazing experiences. When you want to explain something to an audience, see if you can translate it into a story, an anecdote, or even a joke. (If you need to convey data or information, tie it to a story.) If the story you tell is something that happened to you, that's even better. If the story is funny, even better!

Entertain as much as inform. An often forgotten point: Your job is to, at least in part, entertain the members of your audience. They're taking a break from something else. They've closed their laptops and are focusing on you. Why not reward them with something interesting or funny? Your entire talk doesn't need to be completely on topic. It's fine to start off with something that is beside the point as long as it's entertaining.

What's the one thing in her life that Delia feels is still worth protecting and fighting for?
joja [24]
I think Delia has put up with her husband for so long because she doesn't know any other way to live. Ever since she married him, he has been beating her and after awhile, she began to familiarize it with her husband. Also, being a God-fearing woman, she does not want to divorce her husband because that is a sin in her book so she continues to put up with her husband. However she reaches her limit when he begins to threaten her home, which is what she worked her entire life for. Instead of giving in to his demands which is what she normally does, she stands up to him because her home is the one thing that matters to her in her life and she will not abide by him any longer. Delia puts up with him because she does in a way love him, regardless of how he is. I believe it's called battered woman's syndrome, Delia has been abused by him ever since she got married to him. Usually she just ignored his anger but when she decides not to save him I think she's just thinking good riddance.

I hope this helps you out!

Theme and form in early american poetry Mastery test:
Salsk061 [2.6K]

I said unto myself, if I were dead,

What would befall these children? What would be

Their fate, who now are looking up to me

For help and furtherance? Their lives, I said,

Would be a volume wherein I have read

But the first chapters, and no longer see

To read the rest of their dear history,

So full of beauty and so full of dread.

Be comforted; the world is very old,

And generations pass, as they have passed,

A troop of shadows moving with the sun;

Thousands of times has the old tale been told;

The world belongs to those who come the last,

They will find hope and strength as we have done.

"Be comforted; the world is very old,

And generations pass, as they have passed."

<u>Explanation: </u>

"A Shadow" is a poem written by an American poet. The name of the poet is Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882). This American poet is whose verses are still being recovered by young generations.

A teacher watched the debate between Ren and Polina. Read the description of what he saw.
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Don’t look down the entire time the other person is speaking is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Letter A is incorrect because it is a good idea to write down some notes so the person won't forget what he wants to say during his intervention.

C is also incorrect because the person shouldn't write everything, because it means that he should learn how to categorize what the other person says because not everything is important.

D is also incorrect because if Ren did so he would show that he need to improve his listening skills.

B is correct because this way Ren would show that he can both pay attention to the other person while writing. It would also mean that he can see what the other person is doing, since body language could be very important for the debate.
