Hello. This question is incompetent. The full question is:

A poor substitute for food was this hide, just as it had been stripped from the starved horses of the cattlemen six months back. In its frozen state it was more like strips of galvanized iron, and when a dog wrestled it into his stomach it thawed into thin and innutritious leathery strings and into a mass of short hair, irritating and indigestible.

The sensory details in this excerpt help the reader understand how cold and harsh the weather is. How long food rations can last on the trail. How desperate the dogs are to eat. How poorly treated the horses are.

Answer:

How desperate the dogs are to eat.

Explanation:

The text manages to promote sensory details that show how the dogs were so hungry that they were content to eat anything that could satisfy the overwhelming and desperate hunger they felt. The hunger was so great that the dogs were able to eat extremely hard, frozen, tasteless and nutrient-free strips of leather, because that was more comfortable than the hunger they felt.

Which statement is true about independent clauses? They are connected by a coordinating conjunction. They have a subject but do
Natasha_Volkova [10]
Well, let's see... I don't know what a coordinating conjunction is off the top of my head, but I know B isn't the answer, since 'independent' means 'highly capable of handling oneself'. C <em>certainly</em> isn't the answer, simply because you can see by this answer they obviously do combine with a dependent clause from time to time. That leaves us with D and A, which both leave the same term. However, I do believe I can use the word preceding <em>conjunction</em>, which is <em>coordinating</em>, to realize that 'and,' 'but,' and 'or' are coordinating conjunctions. Seriously, D cannot be the answer because not every sentence starts with any of those. So your answer is A.

How does Shelley create her Gothic atmosphere in frankistain?
ddd [48]
<span>Shelley might resort to several techniques to create a Gothic atmosphere. Firstly, it might be said that she uses the 1st person to let "the monster" retell its story. The book is also full of detailed descriptions such as Frankenstein lab, characters and even the voyage through freezing water. She places with contrasts such as cold and hot, light and dark, etc. She also plays with the physical and phycological aspects of each character for the reader to get a clear portrayal of each of them. </span>
