<u>Explanation in regard to your first question:</u>

The "separation of powers" principle was an idea embedded into the plans for American government by our founding fathers, based on their reading of Enlightenment political theory.  The terminology "separation of powers" was introduced by Charles-Louis de Secondat, the Baron of Montesquieu.  (Usually he's referred to as just "Montesquieu.")  He wrote an important work of political theory called <em>The Spirit of the Laws</em>, published in 1748.

Within his treatment of how governments will function best, Montesquieu argued that executive, legislative, and judicial functions of government ought to be divided between parts of the government, so that no one person or division of the government can infringe on the overall rights of others in the government or of the members of the society overall.  The framers of the United States Constitution embedded the separation of powers into the plan for US government.

As noted by <em>The History Channel, </em> "In addition to this separation of powers, the framers built a system of checks and balances designed to guard against tyranny by ensuring that no branch would grab too much power."  Some examples of the checks and balances used would be:

  • Congress (the Legislative Branch) controls the government's budget, so the Executive Branch needs Congress's support to fund any of its desired initiatives.
  • The President nominates federal officials, but those nominations must be confirmed by the Senate.
  • The President has the ability to veto laws passed by Congress, requiring a two-thirds majority to override his veto.
  • The Supreme Court and other federal courts (the Judicial Branch of government) can rule that laws passed by Congress or executive orders by the President are unconstitutional, blocking their implementation.

“Listening to Her Practice: My Middle Daughter, on the Edge of Adolescence, Learns to Play the Saxophone”
EastWind [94]

The portion of the text where a simile is used is "“She’s gone from sounding like the smoke detector” (Option B)

<h3>What is a simile?</h3>

A simile is a figure of speech in which one object is compared to another of a different sort in order to emphasize or make more vivid a statement (e.g. as hard as a rock).

Simile uses "as" and "like" to make comparison.

<h3>What are the various types of Simile?</h3>

The Homeric (or epic) simile and the conventional rhetorical simile are the two main forms of simile used in English.

<h3>What is the poem about?</h3>

One of the elements that stand out about the referenced poem by Barbra Crooker is it's title:

"Listening to Her Practice: My Middle Daughter, on the Edge of Adolescence, Learns to Play the Saxophone"

The title already gives away clues about what the central idea is in the poem.

The poem is about an observant parent who is narrating the changes in their daughter.

Besides the use of simile above, there is recurrent use of juxtaposition between baby-like looks and innocence and adult hood that the daughter is morphing into. Some of the lines from the poem that confirm the above are:

"Her hair, that halo of red gold curls,

has thickened, coarsened,

lost its baby fineness," [Lines 1-3]

"She's gone from sounding like the smoke detector

through Old MacDonald and Jingle Bells." [Lines 15 -16]

"Soon, she'll be a woman.

She's gonna learn to play the blues."[Lines 20-21]

Noma Bar was born in 1973. He is an Israeli artist and graphic designer. His work is the clever combination of positive and negative shapes.

Identify the problem in the following sentence:
dimulka [17.4K]
A: fused sentence.
A fused sentence is a sentence that incorrectly fuses w no punctuation.

It wouldn’t be Inverted word order because that would mean the sentence is out of order, it is in order telling us “my aunt come to visit, we took her to the museum” it wouldn’t be “we took her to the museum, my aunt came to visit”

A sentence fragment is only part of a sentence that’s only telling us one piece of information, this is a full sentence telling us everything we need to know, it’s just not punctuated correctly.

A comma splice is using a comma where one is not needed, I see no comma in this sentence, therefor this wouldn’t be correct.
