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>

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

A. The theremin is becoming a newly popular Instrument to play.

Explanation:

The above statement which is on the growing popularity of the instrument is the central idea in the passage. This is because, when the instrument was formed by the Russian physicist, its popularity grew small in the 1920's before it fades away. <em>Later in the 1990's, it was revived with so many composers creating good musics and symphonies using the instrument.</em>

True or False? W.D. Wetherell’s story “The Bass, the River, and Sheila Mant” and Gary Soto’s poem “Oranges” both use first-perso
stich3 [128]

True

First-person point of view is when the narrator is a character within the story. A primary indicator that a written work is in first-person point of view is the use of first-person pronouns: I, me, my, myself. Wetherell's story "The Bass, the River, and Sheila Mant" starts off "There was a summer in my life when the only creature that seemed lovelier to me than a largemouth bass was Sheila Mant. I was fourteen." Since this is narration and not dialogue, we know that the narrator is a character within the story. Gary Soto's "Oranges" begins "The first time I walked/With a girl, I was twelve". This narration uses the word "I" which shows that it is in first-person point of view.
