If you are rich and worth your salt, you will teach your [children] that [if] they have leisure it is not to be spent in idlenes

s; for wisely used leisure merely means that those who possess it, being free from the necessity of working for their livelihood, are all the more bound to carry on some kind of nonremunerative [unpaid] work in science, in letters, in art, in exploration, in historical research--work of the type we most need in this country, out of which reflects most honor upon the nation.
--Theodore Roosevelt, 1899

Answer:

C). Exemplification.

Explanation:

'Exemplification' is demonstrated as the process of presenting an idea through examples or illustrations in order to make it more clear, understandable, and persuasive.

The given excerpt from Roosevelt's 1899 speech 'Strenuous life' uses the 'exemplification' method to represent his ideas more impactfully and convincingly to the audience. The use of various examples like 'worth your salt', 'wisely used leisure', etc. helps in clarifying his central idea behind this speech i.e. to show the benefits of a strenuous life not only on an individual but on the entire nation as it is the one 'we most need in this country, out of which reflects most honor upon the nation'. Therefore, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

Sullen is to moody as monotonous is to what?
Monica [59]
<span>Monotonous is to dull, boring, tedious, droning or <span>repetitious </span></span> Monotonous means the lack in variety.  
<span>
Musically speaking, it means an unvarying tone or pitch. But since your analogy is started by an adjective, we have to pair it with an adjective too.

So you can pick one from any of these: dull, boring, tedious, droning or <span>repetitious </span></span> <span> </span>

Dependent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a predicate. Although this contains a subject and a predicate, the thought is not complete and can not stand on its own. For example, "since he did not pay the rent". In this instance, the clause has a subject and a verb but shows no thought or meaning.
An independent clause is a group of words comprised of a subject and a predicate and expresses a thought thus, called independent. For instance, "I arrived early", "She sings."
