shuffle. Nate stood in place and waited for the moving seat to arrive. His knees trembled, and his heart raced like the wind. Would he be able to hop on without falling or hurting himself?

Answer:

It's more likely than not that Nate would injure himself or fall when attempting to hop on the moving seat because he doesn't have a good balance and his knees are trembling. This could be out of nervousness or because of the cold. The author used the underlined phrase to show Nate's possible fear/anxiety("his heart racing like the wind") about boarding the moving seat.

Compare and contrast J.k Rowlings and Steve jobs address
Elenna [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

Both speeches delivered by Steve Jobs and J.K. Rowling center on the satisfaction that comes with finding what you love and turning every negative situation such as failure into a stepping stone to greatness.

Steve Jobs, in his commencement address at Stanford, told the audience about how he dropped out from Reeds College which he described as dropping out of the required classes that did not interest him into pursuing what interested him. Similarly, J. K. Rowling described how she jettisoned her parents idea of making her study German due to their naive interest and opt in for classics that really interested her. These two examples center on the fact that students should find what they love and put effort into it. The two examples take different forms of elaboration because as opposed to Steve Jobs who did not complete his college program, J. K. Rowling has a college degree.

Both speakers shared moments in their lives when they encountered failure which were considered the dark moments of their lives. They both turned these dark moments into a stepping stone through their positive attitudes. Steve Jobs narrated how he was pulled out of the company that he founded  and how he during this period of pain and despair founded two other companies and met his loving wife. He said, " I didn’t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life."

J. K. Rowling similarly went through hard times as a young graduate from college. She suffered marital failure, joblessness, single parenting, etc. but never allowed this to deter her of her ambitions.

Both speakers also talk about attitudes. Steve Jobs said his daily motivation always comes from the question that he asks from himself every morning, “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?”. J.K. Rowling advised the Harvard community on the need to feel the pains of others and touch their lives. She said, "But how much more are you, Harvard graduates of 2008, likely to touch other people’s lives? Your intelligence, your capacity for hard work, the education you have earned and received, give you unique status, and unique responsibilities. "

Answer:

Among all female poets of the English-speaking world in the 19th century, none was held in higher critical esteem or was more admired for the independence and courage of her views than Elizabeth Barrett Browning. During the years of her marriage to Robert Browning, her literary reputation far surpassed that of her poet-husband; when visitors came to their home in Florence, she was invariably the greater attraction. She had a wide following among cultured readers in England and in the United States. An example of the reach of her fame may be seen in the influence she had upon the reclusive poet who lived in the rural college town of Amherst, Massachusetts. A framed portrait of Barrett Browning hung in the bedroom of Emily Dickinson, whose life had been transfigured by the poetry of “that Foreign Lady.” From the time when she had first become acquainted with Barrett Browning’s writings, Dickinson had ecstatically admired her as a poet and as a woman who had achieved such a rich fulfillment in her life. So highly regarded had she become by 1850, the year of Wordsworth’s death, that she was prominently mentioned as a possible successor to the poet laureateship. Her humane and liberal point of view manifests itself in her poems aimed at redressing many forms of social injustice, such as the slave trade in America, the labor of children in the mines and the mills of England, the oppression of the Italian people by the Austrians, and the restrictions forced upon women in 19th-century society.

Elizabeth Barrett was extremely fortunate in the circumstances of her family background and the environment in which she spent her youth. Her father, whose wealth was derived from extensive sugar plantations in Jamaica, was the proprietor of “Hope End,” an estate of almost 500 acres in Herefordshire, between the market town of Ledbury and the Malvern Hills. In this peaceful setting, with its farmers’ cottages, gardens, woodlands, ponds, carriage roads, and mansion “adapted for the accommodation of a nobleman or family of the first distinction,” Elizabeth—known by the nickname “Ba"—at first lived the kind of life that might be expected for the daughter of a wealthy country squire. She rode her pony in the lanes around the Barrett estate, went with her brothers and sisters for walks and picnics in the countryside, visited other county families to drink tea, accepted visits in return, and participated with her brothers and sisters in homemade theatrical productions. But, unlike her two sisters and eight brothers, she immersed herself in the world of books as often as she could get away from the social rituals of her family. “Books and dreams were what I lived in and domestic life only seemed to buzz gently around, like bees about the grass,” she said many years later. Having begun to compose verses at the age of four, two years later she received from her father for “some lines on virtue penned with great care” a ten-shilling note enclosed in a letter addressed to “the Poet-Laureate of Hope End."

Before Barrett was 10 years old, she had read the histories of England, Greece, and Rome; several of Shakespeare’s plays, including Othello and The Tempest; portions of Pope’s Homeric translations; and passages from Paradise Lost. At 11, she says in an autobiographical sketch written when she was 14, she “felt the most ardent desire to understand the learned languages.” Except for some instruction in Greek and Latin from a tutor who lived with the Barrett family for two or three years to help her brother Edward prepare for entrance to Charterhouse, Barrett was, as Robert Browning later asserted, “self-taught in almost every respect.” Within the next few years she went through the works of the principal Greek and Latin authors, the Greek Christian fathers, several plays by Racine and Molière, and a portion of Dante’s Inferno—all in the original languages. Also around this time she learned enough Hebrew to read the Old Testament from beginning to end. Her enthusiasm for the works of Tom Paine, Voltaire, Rousseau, and Mary Wollstonecraft presaged the concern for human rights that she was later to express in her poems and letters. At the age of 11 or 12 she composed a verse “epic” in four books of rhyming couplets, The Battle of Marathon, which was privately printed at Mr. Barrett’s expense in 1820. She later spoke of this product of her childhood as “Pope’s Homer done over again, or rather undone.” Most of the 50 copies that were printed probably went to the Barretts’ home and remained there. It is now the rarest of her works, with only a handful of copies known to exist.

What is the function of a linking verb?
torisob [31]

Answer:B

Explanation: A linking verb connects a subject to a verb and also describes the action that is done by the subject. The linking verb cannot express an action on its own. It needs the subject of the sentence to express an action.

An example of a linking verb is "be" which is the most commonly used. The purpose of "be" is to indicate the state of the action subject in a sentence.
