Read the excerpt from A History of the World in 100 Objects.

In 2001 the UK National Census recorded that more than 1 in 20 Londoners were of black African descent, a figure that has continued to rise in the years since. Modern British life and culture now have a strong African component. This development is merely the latest chapter in the history of relations between Africa and western Europe, and in that long and turbulent history the Benin Bronzes, as they used to be known, hold a unique place.

How does the author engage the reader

Answer:

by presenting a series of interesting facts that make the reader curious about the significance of the Benin Bronzes

Explanation:

According to the given excerpt from A History of the World in 100 Objects, the author narrates how the UK National Census in 2001 made the discovery that 1 out of 20 Londoners were of black African descent and that figure has continued to rise since then.

The author engages the reader by mentioning the Benin Bronze and how there is a supposed relationship between Africa and Western Europe which makes the reader wonder about the significance of the Benin Bronze.

Which sentence uses all its nominative case pronouns correctly?
Olenka [21]

The answer is the first option: We live on the same street.


The nominative case takes subject pronouns only, since the pronouns are the subjects of the sentences. They are: I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they.

Options b, c and d have object pronouns - them, me and him - acting as subject pronouns and, consequently, as subjects to the verbs, making the sentences grammatically wrong.

20 points- Drag each statement to the correct location. Not all statements will be used. Choose the statements that contain char
Daniel [21]

1. Epic poems are usually long.

2. Epic poems are about long and exciting journeys.

3. Epic poems are divided into books.

4. Epic poems do not follow a particular rhyme and meter.

This first statement contains characteristics of epic poems, as they are long narrative poems, they are literary works made with oral and written compositions from ancient times. Some examples are Gilgamesh and The Odyssey. It's usually an extensive and prolonged narrative in verse as it's a genre of poems.

The second statement contains one of the most important characteristics of epic poems, they told the journey of the hero with very fantastic features, they have incredible physical and mental traits. So this journey is often long as they conquer many dangerous situations in order to achieve their goal.

The third statement is another characteristic of epic poems, they are very long so they are divided into books. Usually, a single epic is divided into multiple books. One example is Homer's epics divided into 24 books.

And the final statement depends on the literary work that we are talking about. Epic poems were written in a formal, elevated style. They were sublime and with universal significance. They don't have a particular rhyme scheme. But when we are talking about the Odyssey and the Iliad they use a primary meter of Greek and Roman poetry know as <em>"dactilyc hexameter"</em> but without a rhyme scheme. So we can say that epic poems don't follow a particular rhyme but in some cases, they follow a particular meter.
