This question is incomplete. I've found it online, and it is as follows:

In the story, people are reluctant to join Harrison and take off their handicaps. Why do you  think this is?

Answer and Explanation:

I believe there are two possible explanations as to why people are afraid to join Harrison when he removes his handicaps. <u>First, they might just be taken aback by the novelty of what is happening. Society has grown used to wearing handicaps to make them equal. It is something that has become such a part of their lives that, even if uncomfortable or unfair, they do not question as they should. Second, there are consequences for those who remove their handicaps. The few people who choose to question authority and defy the status quo are punished. Therefore, even if people do want to get rid of handicaps like Harrison did, they fear the consequences that will ensue.</u> As a matter of fact, Harrison is killed by the Handicapper General for his audacity.

"Harrison Bergeron" is a short story by author Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. In the year of 2081, the American government is able to provide equality in the strangest manner. To prevent people from feeling stupid, ugly, weak, incapable in any way, the Handicapper General forces those who have advantages to be handicapped.

East Antarctica is covered by massive layers of ice. The ice is thousands of meters thick.
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The answer to your question would be that the revision that combines the sentence using a subordinating clause and subordinating conjunction is the following one: East Antarctica is covered by massive layers of ice which is thousands of meters thick.

Explanation:

The revised version of the sentence includes an essential relative clause. Essential relative clauses limit an ambiguous noun, that is, they complete the meaning of the sentence. The essential clause helps identify the noun it modifies. Consequently, if they are dropped, the meaning of the sentence is altered (see 1).

1) East Antarctica is covered by massive layers of ice

lozanna [386]

Answer:

Personal experiences and memory of the author.

Explanation:

Prewriting is the germinal phase of the writing process. It includes five basic strategies which are also called "brainstorming strategies" which include listing, clustering, freewriting, looping and asking the journalists which may be based on several topics like illustrations, statistics, literature, etc. But prewriting strategies for autobiographical writing is often associated with the author's personal experiences and memory. It helps him/her exemplify their perceptions or viewpoint to the readers. An autobiographical prewriting focuses on the gathering and arranging the information of the major events and happenings of the author's life and its consequences to present it to the readers in a more relative and effective manner.
