The essential appositive in the sentence "astronomer maia mitchell discovered a comet in 1847 and went on to become the first professional female astronomer in the united states," is Maia Mitchel. The last option is correct.

An appositive consists on a noun or noun phrase that renames another noun right beside it. The appositive can be a short or long combination of words.

In this particular case, the words Maia Mitchell which is a proper noun is renaming the noun astronomer, which is right before it and constitutes the subject of the sentence.

Answer:

D). Maria Mitchell.

Explanation:

An appositive is illustrated as the noun words or phrase that defines another noun it follows. It functions to rename or explain the noun or pronoun by proposing additional information about it.  

In the given statement, the essential appositive would be 'Maria Mitchell' as it renames the noun 'astronomer' right beside it by adding further information about the astronomer. Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer as the other options do not define or elaborate a noun.

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

1. He's got two brothers and a sister.

2. We haven't got any money.

3. My dog's got lots of nice toys.

4. I haven't got a ruler today, sorry.

5. Have you got a pencil case?

6. Has Leah got a new car?

Explanation:

Have/has got indicates possession of something, and the negative form (has not/hasn't got or have not /haven't got) shows a lack of possession.

For the subjects he, she, it, we use has got or the contracted form ('s). We write first the subject, then the has got and the rest of the sentence.

For the subjects we, you, they, I, and you, we use have got or the contracted form of it ('ve). First, we write the subject, then the have got and the rest of the sentence.

In the negative form, we write for he, she, it, the subject, then has followed by not or the contracted form hasn't and the got with the rest of the sentence. For we, you, they, I, and you, we write the subject, then have followed by not or haven't and got with the rest of the sentence.

When we want to ask a question, we write the has or have at the beginning of the question. Then the subject, the got, and the rest of the question.

Discuss how MLK and the SCLC garnered national support. Why was Harry Belafonte so important?​
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Harry Belafonte, a supporter of Martin Luther King, Jr., and the civil rights movement, used his celebrity as a beloved entertainer to garner funding for the movement. In her autobiography, Coretta Scott King said of Belafonte, “Whenever we got into trouble or when tragedy struck, Harry has always come to our aid, his generous heart wide open” (Scott King, 144–145).

Belafonte was born in Harlem, New York, to West Indian parents. As a child Belafonte suffered from dyslexia and left high school to join the U.S. Navy. Like most African Americans serving during World War II, Belafonte was relegated to manual labor.

After his tour of duty, Belafonte returned to New York City and worked odd jobs before beginning his acting career. He studied acting at Erwin Piscator’s Dramatic Workshop at the New School for Social Research. After joining the American Negro Theater in Harlem, Belafonte met Paul Robeson and Sidney Poitier, who became a lifelong friend.

Although best known for his success as a singer and actor, Belafonte continually used his public stature to advance the black freedom struggle. As one of the country’s most popular entertainers during the 1950s, Belafonte appeared with Coretta Scott King and Duke Ellington at the “Salute to Montgomery,” a December 1956 fundraising event in New York. While participating in the May 1957 Prayer Pilgrimage for Freedom in Washington, D.C., Belafonte reportedly remarked to a friend: “We play a hit and run game up here. We come down here like this and say our piece and then it’s all over. But the Rev. Martin Luther King has to go back and face it all over again” (Papers 4:373n).

During the 1960s Belafonte continued to provide financial assistance to the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, most notably during the Birmingham Campaign. In late March 1963, Belafonte invited prominent individuals to a meeting at his New York apartment, where King and Fred Shuttlesworth discussed plans for the Birmingham Campaign and appealed for financial support to be used primarily for bail money. Without hesitation, Belafonte organized a committee to raise funds for the movement. While King was held in a Birmingham jail, Belafonte raised $50,000, allowing the campaign to proceed.

After King’s assassination in 1968, Belafonte served as an executor of King’s estate and chaired the Martin Luther King, Jr., Memorial Fund. Afterward he continued to support national and international civil rights and humanitarian issues.

Drag each tile to the correct location. Not all tiles will be used.
natulia [17]

Answer: "great, grey, stone wall", ''Sour smelling cement''

Explanation:

If we are trying to connect both the Berlin Wall picture and Inge's Wall (literary artwork) we must be aware of the story in that Inge's Wall is representing.

Inge's Wall story: In Inge's Wall, there is one wall with two sides, one side is unattainable and alive, unlike the other side where the main character Inge is living. Her side is grey, without color and lifeless. She discovered the bright side when she looked up through the one hole that she found on that wall and then she saw a different world, opposite of her own.

  • If we compare the phrases with the picture, we can see that the wall is great, grey and from the stone and sour smelling cement because that was her point of view in the novel.

Since we cannot see much more, we cannot tell if there are busy traffic or laughter and music on the other side of the wall.
