The correct answer is "the desire of wise men".

In her play "Frankenstein" (1823), Mary Shelley uses different syntactic strategies in order to put emphasis on certain information. For example, she could have written something like this: "within my grasp is the study and desire of the wisest men...".  

Instead, she chose to present the information in a rhetorical way. She introduced the "wh" word "what" opening the window for the reader to question himself what is the meaning of "what"?  

What is THAT THING that had been the study and desire of wisest men since the creation of the world?  What did they want to know?

Question 1(Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) Which of the following is an example of a sentence fragment? He wrote a book. It is s
Phantasy [73]

The correct answer is Mostly the ending.

A sentence fragment is a group of words that looks like a sentence.  But it is not a complete sentence because there is usually a subject or a verb missing. A fragment can nor stand on its own. An independent clause ( containing a subject and and a verb) is needed for a fragment to become a sentence.

In <em>Mostly the ending</em> there is no verb, so this is not a sentence. It can not stand on its own because it has no meaning separately. All of the other examples are sentences because they have both a subject  (He, Many people, It) and verbs (wrote, is, like).

excerpt from Macbeth by William Shakespeare Duncan: Dismay'd not this Our captains, Macbeth and Banquo? Sergeant: Yes; As sparro
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

By comparing Macbeth and Banquo to predatory animals like eagles and the lion, the Sergeant clearly conveys the idea that these two men were aggressive and strong in battle.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's Macbeth excerpt shown in the question above shows how the author decided to use figurative language to describe strong men, warriors who were a cause of fear for those who dared to turn their enemies. For this reason, Shakespeare chose to compare them to predators, the eagle and the lion, which are imposing, strong animals, aggressive with their prey and who exhibit an air of superiority related to their strength, leadership and grandeur.
