What might the author be implying in the last line of “The last rung on the ladder”

English
1 answer:
ahrayia [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The last obstacle in the protagonist's journey/story.

Explanation:

Since there isn't much context to the story, I am assuming that "<em>The last rung on the ladder</em>" could either have a literal or figurative meaning. If it's a literal meaning, the character might actually be climbing a ladder and they're about to take the last step (the rung) to get to the top. However, it's more probable that the author means it in a figurative sense. I believe that "<em>The last rung</em>" is referring to a series of conflict in the protagonist's life, and the author refers to the ladder and its rungs as the conflicts.

<em>Protagonist's story</em> - the ladder (as a whole)

<em>Conflicts faced </em>- the rungs of the ladder (hence "<em>The last rung on the ladder</em>"

* Hopefully that made sense :))

Excerpt from Norse Mythology Part B Kate McConnaughey (15) Then all the gods wept, the summer breeze wailed, the leaves fell fro
jekas [21]

The correct answer is letter b.

The excerpt is written in the Simple Past and narrates a series of events that happened in a sequence.

Notice the verbs in the Simple Past : wept, wailed, fell, faded and died.

There is a verb missing  in the part " the earth stiff and cold"  The verb is grow, the Simple Past form is grew, therefore " the earth grew stiff and cold" is the correct way.

Letter A is wrong because there's a verb missing.

Letter C and letter D " the earth was growing stiff and cold" the verb grow is in the Past Continuos, " the leaves were falling from the sorrowing  trees"  the verb fall is also in the Past Continous breaking the pattern stablished.

If the poem is about going mad when love is lost, what would happen if love didn’t die?
gogolik [260]

The correct answer is:

What would happen if love didn’t die?

An independent clause is a clause that can stand alone as a sentence. When you read the sentence "what would happen if love didn’t die? you could use it as a sentence by itself, doesn't need any complement to make sense. On the other hand, the sentence "If the poem is about going mad when love is lost," is the dependent clause, because it needs a complementary sentence to complete the idea.
