Tom feels like he is of the "superior" race. He explains a book that he read that says that if they don't watch out, the white race will be "submerged" in just a matter of years. Clearly he believes that as a white man he is of the dominant race, and the fact that there is a book published about it and he can freely say these things shows that many people in society are of the same mind. 
Some people today still think this way, although it is socially not acceptable to say it or act like it. Fitzgerald probably included this information to show how opinionated Tom is and set the tone of society at the time.

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hi friend, it's been a while since we spoke even though you promised to reach out soon during our last conversation. I need to know if you've been working on some of the issues we discussed last time out especially those related development engagement.

As you might have noticed how things are changing so rapidly, and the time refusing to hold up, it has become more pertinent to start today rather than tomorrow, as population and workforce keeps growing and will continue grow, getting into industries have become more competitive as time goes by. Speaking if value offered, just line the time value of money, Entry level skills requirements haverisen so high and this trend Will only continue as the influx of peoe who wants to gain entry continues to soar. For instance, basic theoretical knowledge was enough to get started decades ago, However, it isn't enough tmgetvib anymore as the need to possess good software skill is very important and so will the trend continue.

Talking of businesses a d startup, growing today is better than growing tomorrow as sowing today means reaping a day earlier than sowing tomorrow. Hence, friend, time is of the essence and the need to act today is of extreme importance.

1. In which sentence is the underlined adjectival clause punctuated correctly? A. Mrs. Cruz is the advisor, whose opinion matter
harkovskaia [24]

Answer: A

Explanation:

Adjectival clauses also known as relative clauses are dependent clauses that describe a noun in sentences.

Punctuating adjectival clauses can be very problematic because you would have to say whether the adjectival clause in a sentence is essential or non-essential before using commas.

Essential Clause: This kind of adjectival clause is essential to the description of the noun. It is such that the sentence would be meaningless if it were taken out. E.g

The man whose house we just left loves you.

"whose house we just left" is an essential clause because there are many men in the world and without the clause we would not know the man that is being referred to.

Nonessential Clause: This is the opposite of essential clause. It is the kind of clause that a sentence can very much do without. E.g

His wife, who you have met, works at Microsoft.

"Who you have met" does not define the noun in the sentence and the sentence is still very much valid and understandable without the adjectival clause.

The rule is that, sentences with essential adjectival clauses are not punctuated while those with non-essential adjectival clauses are punctuated. As you can see in the examples above.

But with sentences that carry proper nouns e.g names of persons and places, commas are always used before their adjectival clauses because they are unique and do not necessarily need any more information.

That is why option A is the correctly punctuated sentence.

And option C is okay and doesn't need any punctuation.

Which phrase in this excerpt from John Keats's "Ode to Autumn" uses alliteration? Thee sitting careless on a granary floor, Thy
iragen [17]

The correct answer is "Thy hair soft-lifted by the <u>w</u>innowing <u>w</u>ind;"

<u>Alliteration</u> is the same sound or letter at the beginning of words which are close together.

The alliteration in this line can be spotted at "<u>win</u>nowing <u>win</u>d" because the words begin with the same letters and are close together.
