Answer:
D. improving the health
Explanation:
In the sentence provided in the question, the part D contains error.
The correct phrase should be "improving health".
Thus, the correct form of the sentence is --
"At a black tie banquet, Dr. Dyer received the Physician of the Year Award for his commitment to continued education, improving health of all patients, and providing exceptional patient care."
The quote is incomplete. It should read: "For language is arbitrarily produced by the imagination, and has relation to thoughts alone; but all other materials, instruments and conditions of art have relations among each other which limit and interpose between conception and expression. The former is as a mirror which reflects, the later as a cloud which enfeebles the light of which both are mediums of communication. Hence the fame of sculptors, painters and musicians...has never equaled that of poets..."
A Defence of Poetry- Percy Shelley
In my view the correct answer should be B: “and has relation to thoughts alone”.
The reason being that as Shelley explains later, he considers that language has a direct, unique and exclusive relation with thoughts. Logically, thoughts are a direct product of the imagination, whether they are spontaneous or a result of external stimuli, and if according to his logic language is intimately and exclusively related to them it follows that language comes from the imagination. For Shelley as a poet, because language comes directly from imagination without the mediation or interference of any kind, poetry is the purest form of art.
In his memoir, Sampson Davis describes the experience of growing up in Newark. He tells us that he came from an impoverished background, and that he faced enormous difficulties and obstacles in order to become a doctor. However, even after he became a doctor, Davis believed it was important for him to come back and become a beacon of hope for other people who had grown up in the same difficult environment. He wanted to come back and show young people that it was possible for them to change their lives through education.
The correct answer is Metaphor
Explanation:
In the line presented, the author Sandra Cisneros is comparing her name to the Mexican records her father listens; this is likely because her name has an important Mexican influence. Moreover, in terms of figurative or literary devices, this is known as a metaphor because the author is trying to explain the meaning of her name through a comparison between the name and the records. Also, this is not a simile because there is not an explicit word for comparison such as "like", or personification because there are not objects, places, etc. that had been given human traits.
