Examine Sam’s use of the word “questionizin’” on page 63. Vernacular language, like figurative language, often has nuanced meani

ngs. How is the meaning of the word “questioning” subtly different from questionizin’”?
English

Explanation:

The question is about Sam Watson, a character from the novel "Their Eyes Were Watching God" by Zora Neale Hurston.

This novel is filled with vernacular language, as a part of the setting of the story.

Questioning means doubting a validity of something, demanding a proof, querying.

Sam Watson, in this particular situation, used the term "questionizin" as a synonim for "asking" ("Ah'm questionizin' you!")

Although both words have the same root (question) their meanings slightly differ, as shown, but in spite of that difference, Sam's sentence can be understood in a proper context.

Choose the part of each sentence that is a dependent clause.
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

A. when their ship docked

Explanation:

A dependent clause is a group of words with a subject and a verb. However, it cannot stand alone as it does not express a complete thought. B expresses a complete thought and can stand alone as a sentence, so we can eliminate that as a possible answer. Although C can seem like a possible answer, A is a better choice because it features the dependent marker "when".

What was the significance of the presidential election 1876
Kisachek [45]
The presidential election of 1876 led to the end of Reconstruction. Samuel Tilden outpolled Rutherford Hayes to win the popular vote. Tilden had 184 electoral votes to Hayes' 165 and 20 votes were uncounted. These 20 electoral votes were in dispute: in Florida, Louisiana, and South Carolina. Each party reported its candidate had won the state, while in Oregon one elector was declared illegal and replaced. The 20 disputed electoral votes were eventually awarded to Hayes after a bitter legal and political battle. This gave Hayes the victory.
