English
2 answers:

1. <em>(After several minutes,) </em><em>I finally located my car keys.  </em>The phrase in parenthesis is a <u>"prepositional phrase" (option A)</u>. This prepositional phrase is formed by the preposition "after" plus the adjective "several" and the noun "minutes".

2.<em> Mikayla's homeroom teacher, </em><em>(Mr. Jones.) </em><em>is proud of her</em>. The phrase in parenthesis is an <u>"appositive" (option C)</u>. The appositive "Mr. Jones" provides additional information about the noun "teacher".

3. <em>Henry's desire </em><em>(to win)</em><em> is obvious</em>. The phrase in parenthesis is an <u>"infinitive" (option B)</u>. The infinitive phrase in this case is used as an adjective which modifies the word "desire".

4. <em>(Talking)</em><em> is not allowed in class.</em> The phrase in parenthesis is a <u>"gerund" (option B)</u>. A gerund phrase includes a word ending in "ing" and functions as a noun.

5. <em>Josie's project was a failure,</em> <em>having not prepared properly.</em>  This sentence contains a <u>"dangling modifier" (option B)</u>. A dangling modifier is a a type of misplaced modifier, but it does not have anything to modify in the sentence; that's why the sentence should be restated so as to include the word/s that the modifier intends to describe.

A compound is found to contain 9.227 % boron and 90.77 % chlorine by mass. What is the empirical formula for this compound?
kramer

Find the moles of Boron and of Chlorine:

Assume there are 100 g of the compound in all

Boron: 9.224% --> .09224 (convert percent to decimals)

.09224*100g = 9.224g Boron (theoretical amt)

9.224g* 1mol/10.81g (molar mass Boron) = .8533 moles Boron

What is the difference between a soliloquy and a monologue?
Rudik [331]

Answer:

soliloquy: talking to yourself

monologue : talking to others

Explanation:

A monologue is when there's more than one party involved, like two people talking to each other, but essentially all the talking is done by one person.  Imagine a parent scolding a child, and the child doesn't respond.  Or a comedian performing alone on stage in front of an audience.  There's only one person speaking... but to someone else.

A soliloquy also implies only one person talking... but it's mostly in cases where there's no other participant in the communication.  Like when you're talking to yourself.  So, there's only one person talking again, but not to any one else.

Discuss the symbolic nature of the chalk in Brother Leon’s hands.<br> - in the chocolate war book
Gelneren [198K]

In The Chocolate War, the symbolic nature of the chalk in Brother Leon's hands was to convey a powerful message to the reader that he was merciless.

<h3>What is a literary symbol?</h3>

A literary symbol is a mark, sign, or word that is used to represent an idea, object, or relationship beyond the ordinary meaning.

For instance, as a horrible man, Brother Leon holding chalk shows that he has no mercy as a powerful school administrator.

Brother Leon uses quid-pro-quo in his own evil way.

Thus, in <em>The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier</em>, the symbolic nature of the chalk in Brother Leon's hands was to convey a powerful message to the reader that he was merciless.
