Which sentence has the most traditional syntax?

English
1 answer:
ycow [4]3 years ago
7 0

The answer is D. As her leg jiggled up and down, she chewed a ragged nail and checked her watch.

Explanation:

Syntax is a component of language that focuses on the arrangement of elements or structures used to convey ideas. Traditional syntax follows the subject-predicate structure; this means the agent of the action is followed by the action. This arrangement can be seen in the section "she (subject) chewed (verb) a ragged nail and checked (verb) her watch".

Besides this, to preserve the traditional structure other details such as complementary clauses are usually placed at the beginning and separated by a comma or similar punctuation. This occurs in "As her leg jiggled up and down" because this detail complements the sentence and is placed before the main clause separated by a comma.

Explain locke's idea of tabula rasa. how does he think humans learn?
ra1l [238]
The term "tabula rasa" means "blank slate."

Locke believed that each of us were born with a blank slate. This means that our minds, according to Locke, were entirely blank -- without rules, preconceptions, or information. 

This slate would slowly be "filled in" by sensory experiences. Our sensory experiences, Locke believed, would add the information and the rules necessary to learn further.

Answer: In fiction or non-fiction, a foil could be a character who contrasts with another character; most of the time it is the hero, to highlight qualities of the other character. In a few cases, a subplot can be utilized as a foil to the main plot.
