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 car, we will use the pronoun it and its possessive form its. It's the same in the third sentence (cow's tail - its tail).

The second example is interesting because the antecedent of the pronoun this is the entire previous sentence.

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

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

Marianna [84]

Answer:

1. Parallelism

2. Anaphora

3. Alliteration

4. Epiphora

1. To get ahead, a person needs to have good goals, study hard and plan well for the future.

2. The professor needs to either publish more books or work with his students.

3. She is having good days, bad days, long days and short days.

4. Hike the Appalachian Trail is exploring the Panama Canal and the Mississippi ford.

Explanation:

I have been able to show the four rhetorical devices used in the given passage.

Parallelism is the use of a particular grammatical structure in a sentence. We see it in the line: "We all should have our say in the political leaders we elect: the young student and the old retiree; the struggling worker and the wealthy businessman."

Anaphora is the rhetorical device that repeats a word or phrase in a sentence at the beginning of successive classes.

It is seen in the line: "It is a privilege, it is a right, it is a duty."

Alliteration is the rhetorical device that repeats the same letter or sound at the beginning of words that adjacent or closely connected.

It is seen in the line: "You must vote! If you love your country, you must vote. If you believe that your country can be better, you must vote."

Epiphora is the rhetorical device that repeats a word or phrase at the end of successive clauses.

It is seen in the line: "You must vote! If you love your country, you must vote. If you believe that your country can be better, you must vote."

Classroom

MariettaO [177]

Answer and Explanation:

To solve the challenges of observing children, I would suggest that the team be divided into groups and that the large volume of children be divided into smaller groups. Each team group would be responsible for one or two groups of children, depending on the number of groups formed. This would facilitate the monitoring of all children and prevent some of them from being neglected by the amount of work that the day care center presents.

what is the tone of this poem? what does the tone reveal about the speaker of the poem and the conflict she faces? Based on this

adell [148]

We would need the poem to figure out the tone of it. The tone should reveal her feelings about the poem which should help you figure out the question.

Example:
Sad - Maybe she lost something
Happy - Maybe something good happened
