Help!! I don’t understand this -

English
1 answer:
lesantik [10]3 years ago

Answer:

The act of measuring

The law of stars

Explanation:

A suffix is a morpheme added after the stem of a word to form a derivative, i.e. a new word. Here, you were given two examples of suffixes - <em>-ment </em>and <em>- nomy</em>, and their meanings.

The word <em>measurement </em>is derived from the verb <em>to measure</em> (<em>measure + -ment = measurement</em>). Based on the meaning of the suffix <em>-ment</em>, we can conclude that the meaning of the given word is <em>the act of measuring.</em>

The word <em>astronomy </em>is of Greek origin (<em>astronomos </em>- literally translated as <em>the science that studies the laws of the stars</em>). The root of the word (<em>astro</em>) is derived from the Greek <em>aster</em>, which means<em> a star</em>. Based on this and the meaning of the suffix -<em>nomy</em>, we can conclude that the meaning of the word <em>astronomy </em>is <em>the law of stars. </em>

Read this sentence from Jonathan Swift’s /A Modest Proposal/.
Helen [10]
<span>Swift is making the point that "Greedy Irish property owners exploit the helpless poor." In "A Modest Proposal" he sets out a satirical plan to solve food shortages by eating children. In this line he is making the assertion that landlords have already "devoured most of the parents" not in a literal sense. He is saying that landlords have taken advantage of, and exploited their tenants to such an extant that the next step of devouring their children as food is only logical, and not that much more abhorrent.</span>

Romeo and Juliet act 4 scene2
astra-53 [7]

Answer:(JULIET wakes)

JULIET: O comfortable friar! where is my lord?

I do remember well where I should be,

And there I am. Where is my Romeo?

FRIAR LAURENCE: I hear some noise. Lady, come from that nest

Of death, contagion, and unnatural sleep:

A greater power than we can contradict

Hath thwarted our intents. Come, come away.

Thy husband in thy bosom there lies dead;

And Paris too. Come, I'll dispose of thee

Among a sisterhood of holy nuns:

Stay not to question, for the watch is coming;

Come, go, good Juliet,

(Noise again)

I dare no longer stay.

JULIET: Go, get thee hence, for I will not away.

(Exit FRIAR LAURENCE)

What's here? a cup, closed in my true love's hand?

Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end:

O churl! drunk all, and left no friendly drop

To help me after? I will kiss thy lips;

Haply some poison yet doth hang on them,

To make die with a restorative.

(Kisses him)

Thy lips are warm.

Ideas for a ballad? I'm confused on what to write my ballad about.
mars1129 [50]
A ballad is traditionally a poem or song about love (either finding love or losing it) that focuses on a specific story or event. 

Good concepts for ballads could be when you first fell in love with someone, or your first heartbreak, or having a crush on someone.
