Answer:

The setting of "the chrysanthemums" contributes to the solitary character of Elisa.

Explanation:

The setting of this story is a secluded place away from society, because of the winter mist. The place looks more like an isolated prison of everything and everyone, it is a true "closed pot". The description of the setting during the narrative gives to the reader a sense of claustrophobia and highlights the unique character of Elisa.

As this scene is the home of Elisa, she lives isolated from everyone, has no one to keep her company or to establish a friendship, so she feels lonely.

Are the underlined words in the sentence an independent clause, a subordinate clause, or neither? Where there is water, there ar

blondinia [14]

I don't see any underlined words in the sentence. However, I'll just post my answer based on my understanding.

Where there is water ⇒ subordinate clause
There are mosquitoes ⇒ independent clause

Independent clause is a complete sentence. It has a subject, a verb, and expresses a complete thought.

Subordinate clause is a dependent clause that starts with a conjunction. It also has a subject and a verb but it is dependent on the main clause.

Read the stanza from "Twelfth Song of Thunder."

djyliett [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C. that the beauty of nature resides even in the most unlikely places .

Explanation:

According to this stanza, the Navajo people saw beauty in everything around them.

As these lines say, beauty can be found in grasshoppers, in land, in plants.

Sometimes you can think that beauty is something aesthetic and is only seen in things that we see beautiful with the naked eye, but this was not the thinking of the Navajo people.

The correct answer is C: Iambic Pentameter

Iambic Pentameter is a type of metric line used in traditional English poetry and verse drama. "Pentameter" indicates a line of five "feet".

The foot has an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. This pattern repeats five times in each line, as we can see below:

U: unstressed

S: stressed

U---S----U---S----U----S------U----S-----U------S

I'm go | ing out | to clean | the pas | ture spring;
