Answer:

Ebbs and flows in this context mean that human misery comes and goes.

Explanation:

The poem, Dover Beach, written by Matthew Arnold, uses the term 'ebbs and flows' to describe how human misery comes and goes. Ebbs and flows, in the context of sea movement, refers to the coming (flows) and going (ebbs) of the sea tides.

We can say that though hardships and miseries are experienced by all humans, eventually, it would all go away, drifting into the sea as we continue to live on and experience more happiness and betterment flowing in.

The stanza referred is this excerpt:

Sophocles long ago

Heard it on the Ægean, and it brought

Into his mind the turbid ebb and flow

Of human misery; we

Find also in the sound a thought,

Hearing it by this distant northern sea.

Pachacha [2.7K]

In the question sentence, the word "<u>Dad</u> " acts as a simple subject and the word "<u>had bought</u>" acts as a simple predicate.

What is Simple subject?

A single word or pronoun joined to a verb is referred to as a simple subject. In most cases, the simple subject comes before the verb in a sentence. While modifications may be present in the entire subject.

What is Simple Predicate?

A simple predicate is the main verb or verb phrase that characterizes the action of the subject of each sentence. The only part that contributes to being a simple predicate is the leading verb or verb phrase. There are no modifiers in the sentence.

In this sentence given in the question "Luckily Dad had bought a battery-powered radio after the last storm.", but since "<u>had bought</u>" is a verb, it works as a simple predicate. Also, since the word "<u>Dad</u> " is a noun or pronoun, it acts as a simple subject.
