<h2>
Answer: D (or A, but I believe it's D)</h2>
Explanations
"A. A falling apple inspired Newton to think about gravity." Yes this is true, but instead of only thinking about it, he expressed his law of universal gravitation, etc. I understand how this could be the answer though. :>
"B. Gravity is when objects are pulled to the Earth." This is true aswell, but the text gives off more information than just what Gravity is. Newton is a big part of the text. Mostly the main character but narrating in third person.
"C. Newton wrote a series of books called Principia." Newton did this, but this isn't the main idea. If it was, the text would've explained more about it. This is more of a detail or maybe key detail.
"D. Newton discovers gravity.' I choose this as the correct answer because, the text talks about Newton discovering gravity, and when using the word discover in this, it's also like saying he discovered gravity from a falling apple, and contemplated about gravity.
Change the comma after “parts” to a colon
I believe this is a clause because it has a subject and a predicate
the predicate being: Inspirational leader
the subject being: Mohandas gandhi
sorry if im wrong i tried
here is the difference between a phrase and clause that i googled sice i didn't really know how to explain it
On the other extreme, the clause is a part of a sentence, that contains a subject (noun phrase) that actively performs an action (finite verb form). A phrase is a part of a clause or a sentence. As against, a clause is a sentence fragment. A clause has a subject and predicate, whereas a phrase doesn't.
I hope this helps x3
Answer:
The figurative language used in this sentence is: oxymoron.
Explanation:
By definition, a crowd is the gathering of a large number of people. However, in the sentence we are analyzing here, the speaker says there was a "small crowd". The two words have, therefore, opposite meanings - a "small large number of people," so to speak.
This is an example of oxymoron, a type of figurative language that puts together two words with opposite meanings. In context, however, the words can be understood. Although crowds are made up of a large number of people, some crowds can have many more people than others. Thus, the idea of a small crowd is understandable.
1) b and a - A sparse crowd is one that is small and scattered.
2) c and b - To petrify someone is to terrify that person.
3) a and b - An intense pain is one that lasts for a long time.
4) a and b - A prone figure is one that is lying face down.
