He is alluding to the sirens found in the epic The Odyssey. Siren calls are alluring and hard to resist even if expected, but they can be deadly. Henry is saying that to listen to this call, this “illusion of hope”, even though it is tempting, will prove fatal and transform the Convention into something unable to reason and act (beasts).

Circle the predicate
leonid [27]

A predicate is the part of a sentence that contains a verb wich tells something about the subject.


Now, in simple present or present progressive the formula is: subject + verb+ complement; the verb is the predicate. Taking the first three example, the subject is circled and the verb verbs comes after.


Answers are underlined:

The West Indian Manatee <u>is large a sea mammal.</u>

Manatte <u>rest just below the water's surface.</u>

Sea grass <u>is one of their favorite things</u> to eat.


In the last one it can't be eat the predicate because the predicate refers always to the subject, and 'sea grass doesn't eat'. "To eat is a complement"
