The subject of a text is the primary topic, idea or content that is discussed within the text.
Answer and Explanation:
A prepositional phrase is constituted by a preposition and its object (complement). We can easily find it in the sentence by finding the preposition.
Now, I know we are supposed to cross the prepositional phrases out as our first step, but since that format is not supported here, I will italicize them. Please, consider them as having been crossed out:
1. Gasoline <em>from the broken fuel line </em>dripped onto the floor of the garage.
2. Elephants often form lifelong bonds <em>with members of their herd</em>.
The next step is to find and underline the subject once. Remember, subjects are the topic of the sentence. Let's do this:
1. <u>Gasoline</u> dripped onto the floor of the garage.
2. <u>Elephants</u> often form lifelong bonds.
Finally, we must underline the verbs twice. Again, that format is not supported here, so I will highlight the verbs:
1. <u>Gasoline</u> dripped onto the floor of the garage.
2. <u>Elephants</u> often form lifelong bonds.
<span>The early city settlement at Akrotiri is an example of an early city that was destroyed by C. a volcanic eruption. The Thera volcano erupted and completely eradicated this settlement located on Santorini, an island in Greece. This happened in 1627 BC, after which it became an important excavation site for archeologists in 1967 due to its rich history.</span>
The type of figurative language used in the excerpt is Personification. When the author gives the sun a <em>human characteristic (pitiless sun)</em>, he uses the figurative language Personification to enrich the text.
Personification is a <em>figurative language technique where objects, ideas or animals are given human characteristics or qualities.</em> <em>The sun, for example, can't be pitiless, as well as it can't pity.</em> Only people can pity someone else or something because pity is a feeling or an attitude. Thus, the technique of Personification is used by the author.
That enriches the text because <em>the sun is given movement, action.</em> It seems like its incidence over those who face the drought, in the excerpt, <em>is stronger and intentioned</em> because of its Personification. The author is able to<em> express the character's feelings and impressions</em> without saying it literally. The figurative language creates <em>an image</em> and is able to express more than if the author had used descriptive language. The text adopts a <em>poetic tone</em>, which can cause the reader to <em>perceive feelings and sensations</em>. Hence, the text is enriched by the use of the figurative language Personification.
