Identify the antecedent for the underlined pronoun in each sentence below:

English
1 answer:
Feliz [49]4 years ago

Answer:

Its - car

This - More and more physicians are beginning to look not just for illnesses but also for patients' habits with long-term health  implications

Its - cow

Someone - no antecedent

It - antecedent not clear

Explanation:

The antecedent of a pronoun is the word or phrase whose place the pronoun takes. In some cases, the antecedent is obvious, while in others it's either missing or not clear.

In the first and third sentences, it's simple. In the first sentence, a car's transmission is mentioned. Instead of repeating the word <em>car</em>, we will use the pronoun<em> it</em> and its possessive form <em>its</em><em>.</em> It's the same in the third sentence (cow's tail - its tail).

The second example is interesting because the antecedent of the pronoun <em>this</em> is the entire previous sentence.

In the fourth sentence, the antecedent is missing. We don't know instead of what word the pronoun <em>someone</em> is used.

In the fifth, the antecedent is not clear as the pronoun <em>it </em>could be used to refer to the word <em>rain</em>, or the word <em>mud</em>.

Why does Douglass view his invitation to speak on the Fourth of July as an act of tokenism
Sati [7]

Answer: Tokenism is when someone does something out of political correctness or for a symbolic effort. Douglass begins his speech asking why he's been asked to speak on the Fourth of July when the people he represents do not have the rights the Declaration of Independence affords all Americans. He views his invitation as one that was done for symbolic effort to try to show that African Americans are part of America but in practice they are not.

Can someone write me a five-paragraph essay on "The White Umbrella" please? I'll give Brainliest and 60 points! Or just tell me
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

She then realizes just how important of a role her mom plays in her life. In the story The White Umbrella, the narrator, a young girl Chinese girl that goes to school with Americans, and has seemed that she has not completely found herself yet. Her mother and father both work. She shows her embarrassment of her mother working. After school, her sister and her take piano lessons at Miss Crossman’s house. While she sat and waited on her turn she spotted the white umbrella. She thought that she needed to hold it to fit in with others.

Her mother has told her that they can not afford extra things for them to have. She wants to have things like others instead of just showing herself and accepting that she can not have all the extra things like other kids. When her turn came to play the piano she tries’s her best to try and impress Miss Crossman. The narrator shows her insecurity by not accepted Miss Crossman’s ride, instead of walking in the rain. After piano lessons they waited outside in the rain. She offered them to come inside and she refused to do it.

Mona, the narrator’s sister finally decides to go inside. Miss Crossman goes outside and talks to the narrator. The narrator lies to Miss Crossman and tells her that her family drives a Convertible, and that her mother, a concert pianist, will come to pick them up anytime. Miss Crossman gives the white umbrella to her. She tells Miss Crossman that she wishes that she would have been her mother. The narrator begins to feel guilty, and that the Umbrella shows her disobedience towards her mother.

After their mom finally shows up, she hides the umbrella underneath her clothing so that her mother does not see. They get into a car wreck on the way home. She sees that her mom’s eyes are closed. She begins to think her mother may have died. She decides to scream. Then she sees that her mom just closed her eyes because things have frustrated her. When her mother gets out the car to talk to the other people in the accident, she throws the umbrella down the sewer.

This shows that you should never show ungratefulness for what you have. It does not matter about what you need to fit in with the people around you. It only matters what you need to live well. The white Umbrella, an informal story, it gives a life lesson. It can also entertain anyone who wants to read it. The narrator now knows how important her mother’s role has on her life. Hopefully she will show herself for now on instead of trying to carry on like others around her.
