English
1 answer:
Evgen [1.6K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Independent clauses:

dogs make great pets

Jessa joined the swim team

my brother loves drawing

Dependent clauses:

when I go to Ohio

because Kai forgot his book

Explanation: An independent clause expresses a complete or full  thought and can stand on it's own. It does not need to depend on another, phrase, clause or word to make a complete meaning. The above examples above ;

''dogs make great pets''

''Jessa joined the swim team''

''my brother loves drawing''

are complete phrases or clauses and are easy to understand because they make complete sense.

Dependent clauses on the other hand are clauses or phrases that do not make complete sense or meaning and cannot stand on their own. They need other clauses, phrases or words to complete them if not the clauses will be difficult and hard to understand or comprehend. These examples are typical examples of dependent clauses; ''when I go to Ohio'' needs more information or a clause to complete the statement also ''because Kai forgot his book'' will need another clause or phrase to make it complete.

The great Gatsby figurative language chapter 1
irinina [24]

Answer:

Figurative language includes the use of figures of speech (metaphors, similes, allusions, etc.) to make the speech more effective and persuasive.

In Chapter 1 of <em>The Great Gatsby</em>, F. Scott Fitzgerald introduces the characters and the narrator, and establishes the setting. In doing so, he uses the following figures of speech:

  • Hyperbole (an exaggerated statement or claim)

Jordan, while lying on the couch, says to Tom: <em>"I'm stiff. I've been lying on that sofa for as long as I can remember. " </em>This is, of course, an exaggeration.

  • Metaphor (reference to one thing/concept by mentioning another)

<em>"My own house was an eyesore, but it was a small eyesore."</em> Nick refers to his house as an eyesore (an ugly sight in a public place).

  • Personification (giving human characteristics and traits to something that is not human)

<em>"The abnormal mind is quick to detect and attach itself to this quality when it appears in a normal person." </em>Nick, the narrator, personifies 'the mind', which detects certain qualities.

  • Simile (comparison of two things by mentioning the similarities between them, usually through the use of words 'like' or 'as')

<em> "Instead of being the warm center of the world, the Middle West now seemed like the ragged edge of the universe." </em>Nick is not satisfied with his home after the war, and compares it to "the ragged edge of the universe."
