English

3 0

Answer: Dactylic meter.

Explanation:

In poetry, <em>meter</em> is the pattern of the beats. It is also referred to as a 'foot'. There are certain number of syllables in each foot (often two or three). Different types of meter have different patterns of stressed/unstressed syllables.

Dactyl meter, found in these lines from Robert Browning's poem <em>"The Lost Leader"</em>, has the first syllable stressed and the second and third unstressed.  The pattern is the following:

<em>Just</em><em> for a </em><em>hand</em><em>ful of </em><em>sil</em><em>ver he </em><em>left</em><em> us </em>

<em>Just</em><em> for a</em><em> rib</em><em>and to </em><em>stick</em><em> in his </em><em>coat.</em>

The shoe had been covered in seaweed after spending so much time sitting on the beach.

This is a complex sentence because there is an independent clause and a dependent clause. Dependent clauses are more like fragments of sentences and cannot stand on their own and be considered a sentence. An independent clause is a sentence that can stand alone and make sense.

The shoe had been covered in seaweed after spending so much time at the beach. 

The bold is the independent clause. This can stand alone as a sentence, whereas the part that is not bolded cannot.

What are your thoughts about the experiments conducted? Explain.
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:,  <em>Thought experiments are basically devices of the imagination. </em>They are employed for various purposes such an entertainment, education, conceptual analysis, exploration, hypothesizing, theory selection, theory implementation, etc. Some applications are more controversial than others. Few would object to thought experiments that serve to illustrate complex states of affairs, or those that are used in educational contexts. The situation is different, however, with respect to the appropriation of imagined scenarios to investigate reality (very broadly conceived to include things like electrons, tables, rain, beliefs, morals, people, numbers, universes, and even divine beings). It is this use of thought experiments that attracts most of the attention inside and outside of philosophical discourse. Significant is the overlap here with many other central philosophical topics, such as the nature of the imagination, the importance of understanding in contrast to explanation, the role of intuition in human cognition, and the relationship between fiction and truth. Moreover, thought experiments are interdisciplinary in two important respects. Firstly, not only philosophers treat them as a topic, but also historians, cognitive scientists, psychologists, etc. Secondly, they can be found in many disciplines, including biology, economics, history, mathematics, philosophy, and physics (although, interestingly, not with the same frequency in each).
