Answer:

Defiance.

Explanation:

The short poem "Still Here" by Langston Hughes is an open declaration of the perseverance of the speaker in not giving up. He is declaring his fighting spirit boldly, not scared of anything that comes his way.

The speaker says that even though he may "<em>have been scared and battered</em>", his hopes all scattered by the wind, "<em>Snow has friz’ me, Sun has baked me, Looks like between ‘em they done Tried to make me Stop laughin</em>," he will not give up. He boldly and openly declares "(he's) <em>still here</em>". He refuses to be put down by anything, and will persevere and be brave. He is capable of enduring whatever may come his way. his defiance in not allowing to be put under any pressure shows his passion to fight and be brave. He will not give up no matter  how heavy or strong the situation may be.

Identify the compound noun in the following sentence.
dlinn [17]

The compound noun in the sentence is A. life cycles.

<u>A compound noun is a word formed by two or more words</u>. The first one generally indicates the type of object/person; in other words, it classifies the object or person presented in the second word. Furthermore, compound nouns have a different meaning than the meaning of the two words taken separately.  

In this sentence,<u> "life cycles" is a compound noun because it has been formed with the words "life" and "cycles", which are also two nouns.</u> "Life", in this case, is indicating the kind of cycle that the sentence is referring to. In that way,<u> the compound noun "life cycles", defined as the series of stages that a living organism goes through during its whole life, does not have the same meaning than the words "life" and "cycles" taken alone</u>.
