What is the phrase in the sentence: Ricky, going down the staircase backward, was very unsteady.

English
1 answer:
zvonat [6]2 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

Find the subject.  Who is doing something?  Ricky.  Ricky what?  Ricky was.  That is a complete sentence and it makes sense.  Ricky going does not make sense.  So, Ricky was.  What does very unsteady describe?  It describes how Ricky was.  It describes the verb, making "very steady" an adverbial phrase.  A prepositional phrase describes a noun. Nothing in this sentence describes Ricky.  "Going" is a helping verb. Ricky was going.  "Down the staircase backward," describes how Ricky was going, making it another adverbial phrase.

You didn't say what kind of phrase.  I hope I helped.

why does jonas think about his experience on the playing field after watching his father release the baby?
docker41 [41]
Jonas thinks about his experience on the playing field after watching his father release the baby because it was another instance of the community members not truly grasping the concept of death. His friends couldn’t understand that war was a serious matter because it involved suffering and death because they couldn’t understand why those were so bad, and his father couldn’t understand that the death of the baby just because it was slightly smaller than its twin was significant because he couldn’t understand the grave (pun unintended) significance of death. Jonas, however, can, as a result of his experiences of being a Receiver.

From the book the giver, explain how families are formed in Jonas's community and why this is significant so far in the story, w
Pie

Here are some of the ways the families are significant, I'm not sure how far you are in the story yet tho. I read this book last year, so I can't remember which parts these are from

1) The way they have 2 children to a family, one male and one female

2) Raising children were rules in the community

3) The parents aren't the real birth givers of the children, you had to apply for kids

4) Very controlled family with special practices

Hope this helps! (I believe it's all before chapter 10)
