Ex. The excitement I had grew exponentially after that, as I wanted to know what would happen next to me and my friends.

This one is the correct sentence.

Try substituting the conjunction <u><em>and </em></u>in place of <u><em>as.</em></u>

The excitement I had grew exponentially after that, and I wanted to know what would happen next to me and my friends.

Identify the term that best describes the italicized words.
zzz [600]

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is 'participial phrase'.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given the following sentence:

'The old man sat at the window,<em> remembering the days when he would have gone outdoors</em>'.

Here, the italicized words are an example of participial phrase.

A phrase which looks like a verb but actually functions as an adjective while modifying a noun in the same sentence is called a participial phrase.

So in this sentence, 'remembering' is the present participle and 'remembering the days' is the participial phrase. The participial phrase modifies 'he'.

Dear companion of our youth when we were immortal 1
Mama L [17]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Stanza one is one long sentence and contains many instances of enjambment. What is the effect of this on the rhythm? How does this contribute to the meaning of the poem?

Dear companion of our youth when we were immortal 1

and our happy shouts swung up through the gumtrees,

when we raced go-carts in order to destroy our knees,

when there were always eight of us at home for tea

and eight of us learning to count and read 5

and eight of us crammed into the Fiat for Mass

and eight of us slashing through the long dry grass

and four of you dive-bombing four of us

and all of us playing ‘Red rover, red rover, come over!’

Answer:

Enjambment slows down the pace as if it were being interrupted and paused briefly. This contributes to the meaning of the poem because it emphasizes the most important terms within the poem, constructing the phrases in such a way that these terms stand out.

Explanation:

The verse of the poem, shown above, presents several enjambement, which is a literary resource, widely used in poetry, which aims to end a verse of the poem in disagreement with the syntax that that verse should have, that is, the verse ends in disagreement with what the grammar establishes for the construction of the sentence. When a poet does this, it means that he is trying to highlight terms that would not be highlighted with grammatically correct writing.

In the poem above, we can see an example of this in the verses "Dear companion of our youth when we were immortal / and our happy shouts swung up through the gumtrees" where the author makes two lines of a sentence that should be a single line. The author did this to highlight the "happy shouts" that would not be highlighted if written with the correct syntax.

Do human beings have the right to pursue science over ideology, no matter the gains or sacrifices?
LuckyWell [14K]
This should be true. Scientists very often have the idea of self-censure because they understand whether or not their research could be potentially dangerous, for example, if they understand that their creation could be a terrible weapon they decide to not pursue it and abandon the research. Things get nasty when they don't do it, but almost anything can be exploited so they sometimes don't even understand in what ways their research could be exploited. If ideology starts banning scientific research because of ideological differences, then it's similar to how the church killed scientists in the medieval era because scientists opposed what was essentially ideology at the time.
