Answer:

A:Pocahontas saw a man with yellow hair — walking through the forest — a sight she had never seen before so she followed him.

Explanation:

A non essential phrase is a phrase that can be removed from a sentence without changing the meaning of the sentence. Non essential phrases usually give unimportant information and details that one can easily do without. Commas are usually used to set off non essential phrases. 

In the sentence given above, the non essential phrase in the sentence is 'A sight she had never seen before'.  If this phrase is removed from the sentence, the idea in the sentence will still remain the same and the sentence will read: 'Pocahontas saw a man will yellow hair walking through the forest so she followed him. 

There is also essential phrase; if an essential phrase is removed from a sentence, the main idea of the sentence will change.

What is the verbs and adverbs in this passage please help
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

Verbs (in order): believe, yawn, feel, knows, stretches, breathe, rushes, wakes, try, stop, feels, stretching, feels

Adverbs (in order): widely, deeply, thoroughly.

Explanation:

Verbs are action words, meaning a word that someone can be doing like "playing" or "slept."

Adverbs are words used to describe action words, like "slowly" or "loudly."

Some adverbs are repeated throughout the passage so make sure to highlight all of them.

Be careful when choosing which words are adverbs. Some may look like adverbs, but they are actually adjectives, which describe a noun and not a verb. As a hint, most adverbs end with "-ly" as you can see by "widely," "deeply," and "thoroughly."

You can add your own adverbs by finding any of the verbs we found and describing them in anyway you feel suits it best. For example, the sentence:

"When you try to stop a yawn, it feels unsatisfying."

You can add several adverbs to describe the verbs "try" or "stop." Since the verb "feels" already has an adverb, I'd recommend not adding another one.

"When you try to <em>completely</em> stop a yawn, it feels unsatisfying."

"Completely" is the adverb I chose to describe the verb "stop" in this sentence. Another example:

"When you <em>physically</em><em> </em>try to stop a yawn, it feels unsatisfying."

Now the adverb "physically" is used to describe the verb "try." There are many different options so feel free to be as creative as possible! Just make sure it makes sense with the verb you are describing. A bad example is "slowly sleeping" because there is no such thing as sleeping in a slow manner. A good example is "waking up slowly" because this is actually possible and can be imagined.

Which aspect of Blake’s illustration most clearly differs from Dante’s text?
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

A). Lucifer's teeth are flat.

Explanation:

In the given excerpt from Canto xxxiv of Dante's inferno, when Dante and Virgil's appear at the Hell(Ninth Circle), they encounter Lucifer who is described as the giant caught confined in sheer ice up to his mid-chest. He possessed three faces(which involved a 'fiery red' in front and all these faces are aiming to munch the sinner) along with two giant sized enormous wings. Above all, one thing that distinguishes <u>Blake's description would be 'the details associated with the Lucifer's flat teeth' as there is no specific description regarding this in Dante's text</u>. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
