Trent is reading these lines from "Winter-Time" by Robert Louis Stevenson.

English

Answer:

A. Sod is another name for grass, and it often looks silvery white in the winter.

Explanation:

Robert Louis Stevenson's poem "Winter-Time" paints a picture of an early snowy winter morning scene. The 5 stanza poem is narrated by an unnamed child who got up at dusk to observe the winter scene outside his home.

The given lines <em>"Black are my steps on silver sod; Thick blows my frosty breath abroad"</em> are from the last stanza. Here, the speaker uses the word "sod" to refer to the grasses that appear silver when covered with snow. So, when he stepped on the snow-clad grass, the imprint left is black as compared to the white outlay.

So, if Trent understands what sod means and understand how snow-clad leaves appear silvery, he will best understand the poem's meaning and what the speaker is talking about.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

What is the most important purpose of the narrator in this
defon

Answer:

C). To explain why the animals of the jungle typically do not kill human beings.

Explanation:

In the given excerpt from 'Jungle Book', Kipling's key purpose is 'to elucidate to the readers that why the animals of the Jungle do not kill humans usually' which is clearly <u>reflected through the portrayal of strict laws of the Jungle('law of the jungle...never orders anything without a reason</u>).

The author serves his purpose of informing the readers about the reason for which the animals eat up a man and that is 'when the man poses a threat to them' which began with 'arrival...men on elephants..with guns...hundreds of brown men with gongs ...rockets and torches' that made all the animals suffer. This justifies the law of the jungle that animals are allowed to kill humans only  'when he is killing to show his children how to kill' to protect themselves in the future. Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

A <u>proper noun</u> is a noun that defines a specific name for a particular person, place or thing and is always capitalized, such as Texas. A <u>compound noun</u> is a noun made up of two (or more) words that form a noun. A <u>compound proper noun</u> is a combination of both, such as South Africa. A sentence that includes both a <u>compound proper noun</u> and a <u>proper common noun</u> could be:

<em>There are just a few schools in the world -some in South Africa and the one I attend in Texas- that follow a multiage learning system.</em>
