Hello. This question is incomplete this incomplete. the complete question is:
Now you may enter,in your battle-armor,/ wearing war-masks, to see Hrothgar; let shields stay here,tightened war-wood,/your battle-shafts wait the result of words
To what does the kenning battle-shafts refer?
Answer:
swords
Explanation:
Kenning is a figure of speech often used by Anglo-Saxons and can be noticed several times in Beowulf. In short, this figure represents the conjunction of two words creating a kind of "puzzle." This is because the combination of the two words creates a new meaning that represents something easily known. These words are usually related by a hyphen that connects them. In the above excerpt, kenning can be seen in the word "battle-shafts" which can be represented as an elongated object and used in battles, like a sword.
Answer:
- Dependent clause - 'When they got their independence from Spanish domination.
'
- Independent clause - 'Rio carnival was introduced in Brazil by the Portuguese in 1641.'
Explanation:
A dependent clause is characterized by its dependence over the main clause and inability to express a complete thought. Such clauses begin with a subordinate conjunction or relative pronoun and involve a subject and verb. They function as an adjective clause, adverb clause, or noun clause to provide additional information. While an independent clause possesses the ability to convey a complete thought and stand independently. These clauses also help accomplish the meaning of dependent clauses by being combined with them.
In the given sentence, the dependent clause is 'When they got their independence from Spanish domination
' as it begins with the relative pronoun 'when' and followed by a subject('they') and verb('got') and remain dependent on the principal clause to accomplish its meaning. The independent clause is 'Rio carnival was introduced in Brazil by the Portuguese in 1641' as it conveys a complete and coherent thought after being combined with the dependent clause.
