Answer:
The stars, and the sun, and the moon guided early explorers.
Explanation:
The literary device in which the same conjunction is repeated multiple times is called the polysyndeton. The conjunction most often used like this is <em>and.</em>
This is an unconventional use of conjunctions. It would be more natural to write the given sentence like this:
- <em>The stars, the sun, and the moon guided early explorers.</em>
Since this use is not conventional, there are no strict rules regarding punctuation. In literature, there are versions with and without the commas before the conjunctions. If you need to put the commas somewhere, you'd put one before each conjunction. The given sentence would look like this:
- <em>The stars, and the sun, and the moon guided early explorers.</em>
I believe the answer is C
Answer:
This is based on opinion, but I believe this one belongs to the kids.
Explanation:
Scout recognizes Mr. Cunningham: she asks about his entailment and about Walter, which makes him look uncomfortable. Remembering Atticus’s advice to talk to people about what they’re interested in, Scout mentions the entailment again and realizes that everyone, including Atticus, is staring at her openmouthed. She asks what’s wrong. Mr. Cunningham squats, tells Scout he’ll say hi to Walter, and leads the men away. Mr. Cunningham smiles at her, and leads the men away. Scout's innocence contributes to this save, and uses this leverage to save Tom Robinson.
One could say it was Atticus, but the mob was already towards making a move against him, but it was Scout who saved him from this danger.
Again, this is my opinion, and is entirely up to debate.
"If we wish to be free-if we mean to preserve", "if we mean not basely to abandon" AND "which we have been so long contending", "which we have been so long engaged", "which we have pledged".
Parallelism is the repetition of the same grammatical structure. There are two instances of parallel structure in this excerpt. The first is the "If we ___ to ___" structure. The second is the "which we have _______" structure. By filling the passage with this parallel structure is gives the sense of a list of reasons that all, compounding on top of one another, logically lead to the need to fight. The change from the parallel structures in the last line "we must fight!" makes this exclamation stand out and hold power.
