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.

Which sentence is an example of conflict and its resolution from the reading?

Musya8 [376]

Answer: Bilbo's indecision about whether he should go on the adventure; his determination to give it a go

Explanation:

Conflict resolutions supposes reaching an agreement after pondering all possibilities and versions of the situation. Conflict resolution also means finding a solution to the difficult situation. The correct answer is the one related to Bilbo's indecision, because he was having a strong internal conflict about whether to go on the adventure or not, but he finally took a decision and came up with a solution, after all: to give it a go.

All the other instances do not comprise a solution: the dwarves have a grudge with the goblins, but the dwarves seeking revenge is not a solution. The dwarves telling the burglar they don't welcome him on the voyage isn't a solution either and they haven't reached any conclusion. Gandalf disappearing and then having an illness does not hint at any conflict (internal or between two parties) and his illness definitely isn't a resolution.

Thomas Jefferson who was born in Virginia wrote the Declaration of Independence. The clause “who was born in Virginia” needs to

AlekseyPX

The answer is B: The clause "who as born in Virginia" needs to be set off by commas because it is a nonrestrictive element. This clause is nonrestrictive element because it adds further information about Thomas Jefferson, but it is not essencial to the meaning of the sentence, which means that if it is excluded, the readers will still understand the general meaning of the sentence. It uses commas to separate the additional information. Commas are always used when the word modified by the appositive is a proper noun.
