Answer:

Nominative absolute.

Explanation:

Nominative absolute in grammar is a sentence construction where a noun, noun phrase, or pronoun is in the nominative and is used to start or end a sentence. It is normally used as a loose modifier of the whole sentence, with the noun, noun phrase, or pronoun followed by the modifiers.

In the given sentence, the nominative absolute is <em>"the weather remaining turbulent"</em>, which also acts as a modifier for the independent clause <em>"we will postpone our canoe trip." </em>

Thus, the <u>correct answer is nominative absolute.</u>

In 150 words, explain existentialism and quote text from "Hope, Despair, and Memory" that demonstrates or explains it.
SashulF [63]

Without memory, our existence would be barren and opaque, like a prison cell into which no light penetrates; like a tomb which rejects the living. If anything can, it is memory that will save humanity. For me, hope without memory is like memory without hope...

Stripped of possessions, all human ties severed, the prisoners found themselves in a social and cultural void. "Forget," they were told. "Forget where you came from; forget who you were. Only the present matters." Night after night, seemingly endless processions vanished into the flames, lighting up the sky. Fear dominated the universe.

Indeed this was another universe; the very laws of nature had been transformed. Children looked like old men, old men whimpered like children. Men and women from every corner of Europe were suddenly reduced to nameless and faceless creatures desperate for the same ration of bread or soup, dreading the same end. Even their silence was the same for it resounded with the memory of those who were gone. Life in this accursed universe was so distorted, so unnatural that a new species had evolved. Waking among the dead, one wondered if one were still alive...

Of course, we could try to forget the past. Why not? Is it not natural for a human being to repress what causes him pain, what causes him shame? Like the body, memory protects its wounds. When day breaks after a sleepless night, one's ghosts must withdraw; the dead are ordered back to their graves. But for the first time in history, we could not bury our dead. We bear their graves within ourselves.

For us, forgetting was never an option. Remembering is a noble and necessary act. The call of memory, the call to memory, reaches us from the very dawn of history. No commandment figures so frequently, so insistently, in the Bible. It is incumbent upon us to remember the good we have received, and the evil we have suffered.

Which line uses an iambic meter?
Ahat [919]

Nature, the gentlest mother of all lines uses an iambic meter.

Option C. Nature, the gentlest mother of all.

Iambic is a poetic prosodic foot composed of two syllables. A non-strong syllable is followed by a strong syllable, pronounced duh-DUH. iambus can consist of a word with two syllables or two different words.

Iambic is his two-syllable poetry unit where the first syllable is not stressed and the second syllable is stressed. Words such as "reach," "express," and "explain" are all examples of strength patterns for non-strong and strong syllables.

If a pair of syllables is arranged such that a short note is followed by a long note or a non-bang followed by a strong pattern, the foot is said to be "weak".

Answer: Lee was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest honor a U.S. civilian can receive (Pagona 32).

Explanation:

  • Plagiarism, in general, is a term for using other people's ideas as your own, without citing the source. The rule is that, if we want to include quotes from other works in our own work, we need to both include the quotation marks and acknowledge the source.
  • Depending on the citation style that we opt for, we can acknowledge the source either in the text itself, in a footnote or in a list of references. However, regardless of the style, we must always include the quotation marks when we repeat the exact words of an author (if we paraphrase them, we do not put the quotation marks).
  • <u> In the case above, the quotation marks are not used, which is why we consider it a plagiarism.</u>
