Step:

1: Understand the problem.

2:Exercise caution when you have two singular antecedents with the same gender.

3: A possessive noun should not be the antecedent for a pronoun.

4: Use the pronoun they with precision.

5: Use the pronoun it with precision.

6: Confirm that the pronouns this, that, and which have single, clear antecedents.

7: Use second-person pronouns only for direct address.

8: Make sure that the pronouns who, which, and that refer to the right types of nouns.

Those are some simple steps, hope that helps!!

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

D. It is a fragment and needs a subject.

Explanation:

"Flew through the meadow" describes something that an object does. It doesn't specify a subject and it doesn't make much sense without one. A good example of a subject for this sentence fragment would be "The bird" or "The butterfly", which would make the sentence "The bird/butterfly flew through the meadow." That would be a complete, logical sentence, since an object to perform the given action is present.

What metaphor does bradbury use to describe the earbuds in mildreds ears? What should alarm the reader about this description

frosja888 [35]

Bradbury describes Mildred’s earbuds as seashells. He uses this metaphor in a reference as people hold a seashell up to one’s ear to hear the sound of the ocean.

This should alarm the reader because the seashells are used by Montag’s society to control information and control potential rebellions. This is a way to control individuals and paint a different reality. Also with the seashells always plugged in people don’t have the time or a silence to listen to their own thoughts.
