Answer:

keeps the engine of the ship moving.

Explanation:

The lines "Steam was our handmaid and our servant flame" was said by John Masefield in regard to a ship. Steam is considered as an important factor that keeps the engine of the ship moving. Though it lies inside and cannot be seen outwardly on the exterior of the ship, it is what makes the ship working and moving.

Similarly, the speaker compares the steam to a handmaid who also works and maintains a house from inside. It is like a flame/feul that burns inside just like a home aid who works inside the house.

Answer:

Born in Ottawa, Trudeau attended Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf, graduated from McGill University in 1994, and then the University of British Columbia in 1998. He has a bachelor of arts degree in literature and a bachelor of education degree. After graduating, he worked as a teacher in Vancouver, British Columbia.[6] He started studying engineering at Montreal's École Polytechnique in 2002 but dropped out in 2003.[7][8] Beginning in 2004, he took one year of a master's program in environmental geography at McGill University but, again, left without graduating in 2005.[9][8][7] He has also held jobs including camp counselor,[10] nightclub bouncer,[11][12][10] and snowboard instructor.[10][13]

In the 2008 federal election, he was elected to represent the riding of Papineau in the House of Commons. In 2009, he was appointed the Liberal Party's critic for youth and multiculturalism, and the following year, became critic for citizenship and immigration. In 2011, he was appointed as critic for secondary education and sport. Trudeau won the leadership of the Liberal Party in April 2013 and led his party to victory in the 2015 federal election, moving the third-placed Liberals from 36 seats to 184 seats, the largest-ever numerical increase by a party in a Canadian federal election.[14][15] As Prime Minister, major government initiatives he undertook during his first term included legalizing recreational marijuana through the Cannabis Act; attempting Senate appointment reform by establishing the Independent Advisory Board for Senate Appointments; establishing the federal carbon tax and negotiating trade deals such as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership; while later grappling with controversies surrounding the SNC-Lavalin affair.

Winning the most seats (157) in the 2019 federal election, the Liberals formed a minority government, despite losing the popular vote and receiving the lowest percentage of the national popular vote of any governing party in Canadian history.[16]

Which option shows articles and modifiers being used​ correctly?
Tems11 [23]
The correct answer is C. <span>She lives on the twentieth floor of an old apartment building somewhere in Manhattan.
First of all, in front of 'twentieth floor,' there has to be the article THE, because there is only one 20th floor in a building. Additionally, in front of 'old apartment building,' there has to be the article AN, because we don't know which building exactly + the word starts with a vowel, so it has to be AN rather than A.

The characteristics of an entrepreneur that Edison exhibits in this text is: an ability to learn from mistakes and adapt to new knowledge.

In this excerpt, we find that Edison was not daunted when they failed on their project. He rather happily enjoined his partner to forge on.

He encouraged him to learn from their mistakes and find a new way to solve the problem.

Good entrepreneurs are flexible and not easily discouraged when things do not go their way.
