John Donne is well known for his original and complex conceits. He establishes unheard comparisons between two objects. For example, in one poem he uses the metaphor of coins to express teardrops. In the same way, in his famous poem "The Flea", Donne elaborates an intrincate metaphor of love in the mixing of blood on the inside of a flee. The poet speaks to his mistress about not killing the flea that carries both of their bloods, meaning a plea that their love does not end. This is an elegant, but as well sarcastic and humorous way of expression. That if the main difference between Donne and Marvell. The first one has a playful style, while the second one is more serious, as he explores ideas in two paths: their inmediate meaning and the philosophical implications. Marvell follows a more classical approach, in the sense that he unearths some concepts from the literary heritage, such as <em>carpe diem </em>in his poem "To His Coy Mistress". In this poem, Marvell focusses on telling a girl about how limited time is, how they cannot waste their lives and how they have to enjoy to the fullest their existences.
I believe the answer would be strike. i hope this helps!
The correct answer is: [A]:
________________________________________________________
"People will not get ahead if they do not study."
________________________________________________________
Explanation:
________________________________________________________
Note that one (1) feature of an "adverb clause" is that an "adverb clause" must begin with a "subordinating conjunction".
________________________________________________________
The only answer choices provided that meet this criterion are:
________________________________________________________
Choice: [A]: "People will not get ahead if they do not study."
In this sentence, there is a "subordinating conjunction"— which is—" if ".
________________________________________________________
Choice: [C]: " Because of the defensive driving lessons, I am probably a better driving today ".
In this sentence, there is a "subordinating conjunction"
— which is—"Because" .
________________________________________________________
Note the other criteria for "adverb clauses" — as follows:
________________________________________________________
1) Adverb clauses are "modifiers".
2) Adverb clauses contain both a subject AND a verb.
3) Adverb clauses, on their own, do not form complete sentences.
_______________________________________________________
Consider: Choice: [C]:
_______________________________________________________
"Because of the defensive driving lessons, I am probably a better driving today."
→ Note: Since the particular clause beings with the "subordinating conjunction—"Because" (in this case) — consider the phrase:
_______________________________________________________
"Because of the defense driving lessons" ;
→ This is NOT an "adverb clause". An "adverb clause" must contain BOTH a "noun" AND a "verb"— and this particular clause does NOT contain a "verb".
Rule out "Choice: [C] " .
___________________________________________________________
Consider:
"Choice: [A]: "People will not get ahead if they do not study."
→ <u>Note</u>: Since the particular clause beings with the "subordinating conjunction"—" if " (in this case) — consider the phrase:
_______________________________________________________
" if they do not study ."
_______________________________________________________
→ Note the following:
_______________________________________________________
1) This clause contains BOTH a "noun" —which is: "they" (a subject pronoun referring to "people"); AND a "verb" —which is: "do [not] study" .
2) This clause modifies "people" .
3) This clause is a NOT a sentence if it stands alone.
___________________________________________________________
Thus; this very answer choice: "Answer choice: [A]:
__________________________________________________________
→ "People will not get ahead if they do not study."
__________________________________________________________
→ is the only sentence —
(among the answer choices provided) —
that: 1) is an "adverb clause" ; AND:
that: 2) is the correct answer.

Honestly I would think he’s just drunk and surprised about the books. Or that Gatsby took his time to fill shelves with books and on how grand it is. Just in awe with the luxury I guess.
