Is a column similar to a stalactite and stalagmite

English
1 answer:
Aloiza [94]3 years ago
8 0

I guess a stalactite and a stalagmite could be referenced to a column. Although, only some could be considered column-like.

Stalactites hang from the ceiling and only on occasion do they ever reach the ground. I, myself have toured some caves and have witnessed stalactites reaching the ground, so in that way they could be referenced to a column. But the majority of them, that don't reach the ground, aren't very column-like.

Same goes with stalagmites, but these protrude from the ground, rather than hanging from the ceiling. I've never personally seen a stalagmite that has reached the ceiling of a cave and resembled a column. But I wouldn't doubt that there are a few out there.

So basically in conclusion, the majority of stalagmites and stalactites are not  similar to columns. But the few that can go to cave floor to ceiling can resemble a column.

Hope this helps! Stay safe and stay healty! :3

In the following passage, what plot point is being described?
Digiron [165]

The plot point that is described per Katelyn's views is exposition. Therefore, option (ii) or (b) is the correct answer.

<h3>What is exposition?</h3>

Exposition texts typically start with an opening statement of position that expresses the author's viewpoint or opinion. An expository section is used to impart knowledge and provide an unbiased explanation.

In order to accomplish this, authors typically write in the third person and refrain from using pronouns like I or you. Expository passages can be used to show cause and effect, compare and contrast, or inform.

An expository paragraph attempts to explain a subject or situation, as opposed to a descriptive paragraph's goal of describing a subject and a narrative paragraph's goal of illustrating personal development.

Expository paragraphs are therefore written to appear as though the author is explaining or defining a subject to the reader. Therefore, option (b) or (ii) is the correct answer.
