Answer: Pa reckoned he'd have to leave off driving his old truck.

Explanation:

Dialect refers to the way a person speaks the language that they speak as languages have various dialects. For instance, standard British English and standard American English are dialects of the English language.

Writers can use dialect in literature so that the reader understands what kind of dialect the characters are using. In option C above, the use of the word 'reckoned' would have the effect of the reader believing that Pa uses the Southern American English dialect.

Read the excerpt from “The Pasture” by Robert Frost. What is the meter?

nekit [7.7K]

The correct answer is C: Iambic Pentameter

Iambic Pentameter is a type of metric line used in traditional English poetry and verse drama. "Pentameter" indicates a line of five "feet".

The foot has an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. This pattern repeats five times in each line, as we can see below:

U: unstressed

S: stressed

U---S----U---S----U----S------U----S-----U------S

I'm go | ing out | to clean | the pas | ture spring;

U---S---U---S-----U----S----U----S---------U---S

I'll on | ly stop | to rake | the leaves | away

U---------S----U---S--------U----S---U----S------U---S

(And wait | to watch | the wa | ter clear, | I may):

U------S----U---S-------U----------S-----S---S--S

I sha'n't | be gone | long.—You | come too.

U---S-----U-----S---U----S-----U----S---U---S

Semenov [28]

Answer:

I would ask the seven guests to wait a bit while I resolved an emergency situation.

Explanation:

An emergency situation must be resolved quickly. For this reason, in the situation shown in the question above, if there was no one who could resolve the emergency situation, or attend to the guests, in my place, I would ask the guests' understanding and explain that I needed to resolve an emergency situation, for this reason, I would need them to wait a bit so that I could attend them.

Analyze morrie and mitch’s dialog about aging. Do you agree with morrie about our society’s emphasis on youth?

Alja [10]

Yes, we agree with Morrie about our society’s emphasis on youth.

In the second installment of The Professor, Morrie is portrayed as having been exceptionally liberal for his time and for his age. The first indication that Morrie is ahead of the popular culture is his acceptance of the research position at the mental institution, where, as a further showing of his liberal qualities, breaks the rules and befriends the most difficult patients, each of whom responds to Morrie more than they do their doctors and psychiatrists.

Morrie's so-called radical values are also exemplified by his unusually intimate relationship with his students, Mitch included. Like the students who protest in Washington D.C., and those who took over Ford Hall to fight racism at the university, Morrie believes in the progression of culture.

The culture he has created for himself does not adhere to the popular rules he protests against, and he fights to change popular social values when they do not agree with his own. Morrie continues to be very progressively minded even in his old age, and often reminds Mitch that he and everyone else is constantly changing form; his self is in continuous transition, despite his age. It is never too late, he says, to change. Morrie applies this belief to the culture that surrounds him and fights to alter it if the cause is one worth his dedication.
