Answer:

She chose the word 'dormant to describe the inactivity in the symbolic fields. Just as the birds in the fields entered a state of inactivity, so did the nation suffer unproductivity because of the war.

Explanation:

In the poem, the author describes the condition of the warring sides between East and West Berlin. Dormancy was used to describe the fields highlighting the fact that there was inactivity in the land due to the continued fighting between the nations.

No significant progress could be made because the war sponsored by the big nations would not allow that. Birds were known to be dormant for several days, months, or years. So also, was the troubled German nation then.

Identity the sentence below as either simple, compound, or complex.
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Compound sentence.

Explanation:

A compound sentence is one where there are two or more independent clauses joined together by coordinating conjunctions such as "and, but, or, so" etc. or a comma, semicolon, etc. It also can be identified by the presence of a subject and a predicate in the sentence.

In the given sentence <em>"I love this study, and I am going to continue in it"</em>, we can correctly say that it is a compound sentence. First is the presence of two independent clauses "I love this study" and "I am going to continue in it". Moreover, the two are joined by the comma and coordinating conjunction "and". It also contains the subject "I" and a predicate "love this study" and "am going to continue".

Thus, the correct answer is a compound sentence.

In the story to my old master how does the organization of the selection contribute to the authors purpose?
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

The organization allows the author to show the abuse he suffered and how his life is much better after he left his former "master".

Explanation:

In "To my old master" we are presented with a letter that an old slave wrote to his former master, responding to a proposal for him to return to doing in which he was a slave. The author of the letter organizes it very efficiently, where in a very sarcastic way he describes the abuses that he and his family suffered in doing and how their lives are much better away from doing, but if there is compensation for the work already done by they are a generous and fair economic proposal, they can consider doing it again, but they don’t need it.

Alex777 [14]

Hello. You forgot to say that this question is about "Secrets in the Stones." You also forgot to show the answer options, the options are:

It suggests that we can never know the purpose of Stonehenge.

It shows that archaeologists are not able to explain the past.

It explains why people are losing interest in the site.

It begins the discussion of different ideas about Stonehenge.

Answer:

It begins the discussion of different ideas about Stonehenge.

Explanation:

The sentence "even though some questions about the site's purpose have been answered, many remain" gives space for a discussion on theories about Stonehenge to be opened, since it is not possible to determine, in fact, the reason why it was created . Thus, we can understand that the author includes this sentence in the article to serve as a hook for the next section of the article, which talks about possible theories about Stonehenge.
