I have found this question online and realized that "ice" should actually be "eyes", which makes more sense with the context of the sentence.

Answer:

The entire absolute phrase in the sentence is "eyes glittering with concentration".

Explanation:

After reading it, we realize that "eyes glittering with concentration" refers to the sentence as whole. That is what makes it an absolute phrase - instead of modifying just one noun, it modifies a whole sentence. In this case, we can imagine Jack moving his cursor while his eyes glitter, showing how focused he is.

Absolute phrases' structure include a noun or a pronoun followed by a participial phrase. For example: hands trembling with nervousness. Notice that "eyes glittering with concentration" follows that structure.

Participial phrases consist of a participle and modifiers. For example: running out of energy.

it’s obvious now that the colonies should be free of unfair taxes and have certain rights such as governing ourselves. the british have rejected all the colonists actions to make peace, no matter how much they have begged and positioned the king nothing as worked. this is the first clue that the kind can have no rhyme or reason to his taxes and can do as he sees fit with them.

Veseljchak [2.6K]

This question is missing the options. I've found them online. They are the following:

What key detail should be added to strengthen the student’s paraphrasing of this excerpt?  

A) Dulichium, Same, and Zacynthus are all visible to Ithaca.

B) Odysseus holds his home very close to his heart.

C) The islands surrounding Ithaca lie to the east and the south.

D) Ithaca lies under Mount Neion and to the northwest.

Answer:

The detail that should be added to strengthen the paraphrasing is:

B) Odysseus holds his home very close to his heart.

Explanation:

A paraphrase consists of rewording something that was said by someone else. That is, we say the exact same thing but with different words. Thus,<u> to strengthen the student's paraphrase in this case, we must look for the idea that is missing.</u>

<u>In the original excerpt, Odysseus talks of Ithaca's geographic location, the fact that it is a good place "for a boy's training", and the fact that the island is a place he loves:</u>

<em>I shall not see on earth a place more dear.</em>

<u>However, the student's paraphrase has left out this last idea. To make it more complete, we should add that Odysseus holds his home very close to his heart.</u>
