Answer:

A line break is the termination of one line of poetry, and the beginning of a new line.

Some additional key details about line breaks:

Line breaks divide poems into lines, and the length of lines determines the appearance of the poem on the page: long and skinny, short and wide, or a shape entirely its own.

The location of a line break is often dictated by the number of syllables in the line, but just as often it is freely chosen by the poet.

Line breaks serve an important function in setting the rhythm of a poem, since they insert a pause between the final word of one line and the first word of the next line. For this reason, line breaks conventionally occur where natural pauses in language also occur—such as after punctuation, at the end of a thought, or between distinct images.

Which of the following lists of places requires semicolons instead of commas?(1 point) A. North Dakota, South Dakota, North Caro

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The list that requires semicolons instead of commas is:

B. Sacramento, California, Denver, Colorado, Phoenix, Arizona, and Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Explanation:

Notice that letter B has the most confusing list of places, while the other lists look neater. The reason for that is the fact that lists A, C and D all mention places that are similar. A only lists states, C only lists countries, and D only lists continents. On the other hand, list B mentions cities as well as the states where they are located. Therefore, to make it easier to understand, we should use semicolons instead of commas. The correct form would be:

- Sacramento, California; Denver, Colorado; Phoenix, Arizona; and Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Describe the border the main character or narrator crosses. Write a short explanation of how this character changes as a result

Tatiana [17]

Answer and Explanation:

This question is about "Borders" by Thomas King and is a short story that can be classified as a drama. That's because, when the protagonists of the story, a boy and his mother, try to cross the border between Canada and the USA are prevented. they are prevented because they call themselves "Blackfoot," a people native to North America, however, the "Blackfoot" are not considered citizens for border officers and therefore do not allow the boy and his mother to cross.

This means that the boy and his mother have to cross two borders, the first is the physical border established between the two countries, the second is a barrier of intolerance, created by those who ignore the existence and rights of Native Americans.
