Answer:

Because of the sounds of the "o" and the "r"

Explanation:

"Philosophy of Composition" is an essay written by Edgar Allan Poe in which he attempts to explain a theory about how good writers write when they write well. Poe uses his own composition from the poem "The Crow" as an example. In this essay, Poe explains why he chose the word "nervermore" as the chorus of "The Raven."

Poe considered that the chorus of "The Raven" should be a small word that brought a certain monotony of sound but renewed its meaning with each repetition. Poe also wanted the word used in the chorus to have a fortee sound that was susceptible to prolonged emphasis, with the loudest vowel among the vowels associated with the letter "R". The loudest vowel in Poe's consent was the letter "O", so we can define that the word "nevermore" was chosen because of the association between the letters "O" and "R".

"George Washington Carver was an artist long before he became a scientist" explains how
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

The first sentence is written in the passive voice, with a passive verb. George is the subject, so what is being done to him is the passive verb. The less passive form of the sentence would be similar to "Mrs. Millholland gave George Washington Carver piano lessons." This is the active verb, since it is being done/has been done by a person rather than a subject being acted on.
