Answer:
A
. Because the Cuban Missile Crisis resulted in the end of all U.S. flights to and from Cuba.
Explanation:
Operation Peter Pan, or known in Cuba as Pedro Pan, was the effort of the United States government to ensure the safety of Cuban children amidst the rise of Fidel Castro's rise in power. This effort was a humanitarian act to ensure the safety of the children of the dissident parents of the latest Cuban government's communist regime.
But this 'relief' effort was left hanging by the Cuban Missile Crisis that 'cut' all ties between the two nations. The Crisis led to the discontinuation of the flights from Cuba, resulting in the children stranded in the US while their parents were unable to leave Cuba and join their children.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
No, this sentence is not a verb phrase, because the subject is not part of the verb phrase here.
Here's why. The subject is "I," the verb is "believed," and everything following the verb ("every word he said") forms the object of the verb. By definition, a verb phrase is one verb + its various objects or modifiers. Here, "every word he said" operates as one single object (it's not just one word, it's EVERY word, and it's not just every word, it's every word HE said). But the subject is separate from the verb phrase, so the entire sentence is not a verb phrase (it's a subject + a verb phrase).
not sure, might be "impressive"?
Enjambment - the sentences do not finish with the end of the line.
Simile - "like a slackened drum"
Maybe even hyperbole, since it is an exaggeration.
