Identify the term that best describes the italicized word.

Answer:

D. Linking verb

Explanation:

Verbs are words that express actions, occurrences, and states of being.

Transitive verbs are verbs that require an object (the recipient of the action expressed by the verb). <em>To become </em>is not a transitive verb as it can't have an object. This is why it is an intransitive verb used as a linking verb. This is its main purpose, which is why option D is the one that best describes it.

Linking verbs are verbs that provide additional information about the subject by connecting it to a predicate adjective or predicate noun. Just like the verbs <em>to be </em>and <em>to seem, to become </em>is a true linking verb. In the given case, <em>Frank </em>is the subject of the second independent clause, and the words that describe him are <em>class president. </em>These words are a predicate noun (predicate nominative). <em>Became </em>connects these parts of the clause, which is why it's a linking verb.

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Free will.

Explanation:

The choice of an individual to make up his own mind and decisions unimpeded is known as free will. This is a state of mind giving full access and authority to the individual to do what he wants and what he likes without being influenced or helped by an outside force or individual. This ability of the person to act without the help or forced will of someone else is infused on everyone and it is up to us on how we use our own free will. The issue of fate vs. free will had been an ongoing debate within philosophers, even theologians but there had been no definite solution to this debate.

Thus, we can say that<u> free will</u> is the philosophical position that holds that people have control over what they do and are free to chose to act other than the way they do.

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Breakfast was amazing, <u>but</u> I kept knocking stuff off the breakfast table. I couldn't work properly <u>because</u> I had stayed up the whole night typing away without stopping on the huge computer <em>like a beaver tirelessly building a dam out of wood</em>. I somehow managed to go to school where I had to write more boring essays. Finally, the bell rung to signal the start of lunchtime. A most heavenly time.

<u>Underlined</u>= conjunctions

Bold= descriptive words

<em>Italics</em>= figurative language

Explanation:

First of all, you need to know what descriptive language, coordinating conjunctions and figurative language is.

Conjunctions are words which link two sentences together. Examples of thse are: <em>but, and, or, as well as </em>etc.

Figurative language is all about metaphors, similes, personifications etc. Figurative language include words and phrases such as: <em>He slept like a log</em> (simile). These type of sentences compare an object to another object, but not in a literal way.

Descriptive language is about describing a scene, object, person etc. A descriptive word can be an adjective, metaphor, adverb, simile and other word groups.

Hope this helps.

Read the sentence below about the Chicago fire of 1871. Schaffer told someone else to strike the wrong alarm box and that caused
Lostsunrise [7]

Schaffer mistakenly told his assistant to strike alarm Box 342, and as a result, firefighters were directed to an incorrect location during the Chicago fire of 1871.

This is the best example of adding concrete details. It specifically says which alarm box Schaffer told his assistant. The original sentence makes it seem as the miscommunication was the big problem. While it was a problem, the fact that the firefighters went to the incorrect location is really the reason the Chicago fire of 1871 was so devastating. Including these details makes the writing much clearer and easier for the reader to follow.
