From "The Tyranny of Things" by Elizabeth Morris

English
1 answer:
marissa [1.9K]2 years ago

Blank 1: Such things as we cannot give away, and have not the courage to destroy, we stack in the garret.

Then, as we breathe more freely in the clear space that we have made for ourselves, we grow aware that we must not relax our vigilance.

Blank 2: I suppose we all go through a phase when we like things best; and not only like them, but want to possess them under our hand. The passion for accumulation is upon us. We make "collections," we fill our rooms, our walls, our tables, our desks, with things, things, things.

Which of the following are types of phrases? Select all that apply.
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Absolute

Prepositional

Participial

Explanation:

A subordinate CLAUSE (not phrase) contains a subject and verb, is introduced by a conjunction, and supports the main clause.

An absolute phrase combines a noun and a participle. (e.g. shining stars, crossed arms)

A prepositional phrase is a modifying phrase consisting of a preposition and its object. (on the table, beside the stairs)

A participial phrase will begin with a present or past participle and will always function as an adjective, describing a nearby noun or pronoun.

(e.g. PUTTING ON HER BOOTS, she trudged into the snow.)

Read the sentence.
kati45 [8]

Adverbs modify (describe) verbs or other adverbs and often end in -ly.  You need to locate the verb to determine at least one of the adverbs (the action of the sentence.)  This is a complex sentence because it has an independent clause (it was not exactly what he had in mind) and a subordinate clause (when he agreed to do the task).  If you just look at the independent clause, or the one that can stand by itself, you will find the verb 'was'.  Ask yourself 'was what'.  The answer is not, which means it is the adverb.  To find the adverb describing it, we again ask, 'not what'.  The answer is exactly.  So the answer is A.
