I have dwelt upon the greatness of Athens because I want to show you that we are contending for a higher prize than those who en

joy none of these privileges, and to establish by manifest proof the merit of these men whom I am now commemorating. . . . in magnifying the city I have magnified them, and men like them whose virtues made her glorious.

The paragraph selected here is a passage from Pericle's Funeral Oration, said during a public funeral for those deceased during war. The funeral oration is longer than what is presented here and dwells into what makes Athens special, such as its democratic nature and the character of its people.

The passage mentions the greatness of Athens, as to show what is at stake if war is lost. Then, it remembers those who died defending Athens and moves on to encourage its citizens to continue fighting for its city.

The whole point of the speech is to boost the morale of the attending citizens and to encourage their support on the war effort. From the paragraph selected here, we can deduce that the main idea is <u>1 - People who live in Athens are fighting to protect their privilieged way of life.</u>

What is the common noun in the sentence, “When Carlene is hungry, she makes a sandwich.”
Anna71 [15]

TLDR: The common noun is "sandwich".

A common noun is a person, place, or thing that isn't being described specifically. A proper noun is a person, place, or thing that is being described specifically. For example:

A house (CN), versus The White House (PN)

A Meatball Marinara (PN) versus a footlong sub (CN)

New York City (PN) versus The Big Apple (PN) versus a city (CN)

Proper nouns can typically be identified by being capitalized, however this may not always be the case! However, in this example, it is.

Start by looking for nouns - this sentence contains two, Carlene and sandwich. A sandwich is a common noun because it is generic, whereas Carlene is being specific - we're talking about a particular girl who happens to like sandwiches. Therefore, "sandwich" was the common noun in this sentence.

Hope this helps!
