Sarcasm is an ironic or satirical remark tempered by humor. Mainly, people use it to say the opposite of what's true to make someone look or feel foolish. For example, let's say you see someone struggling to open a door and you ask them, "Do you want help?" If they reply by saying, "No thanks. I'm really enjoying the challenge," you'll know they're being sarcastic. Sarcasm is all about the context and tone of voice, which is why it works better verbally. It's something you'll know when you hear it.

Locate the complete verbal phrase in the following sentence. Crossing the street on a red light not only is dangerous but also i
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Type of Verbal: Gerund phrase

Verbal Phrase: Crossing the street on a red light

Explanation:

A gerund phrase is a verbal phrase that consists of a gerund (which it's made up of the verb root of a verb + -<em>ing</em>) and modifiers of that object, and sometimes, it also includes objects. The primary function of this type of phrases is to act as a noun, therefore they can be subjects, objects or complements.

In the sentence, "Crossing the street on a red light" is the gerund phrase because it has a gerund (Crossing), an object (the street) and modifiers ( on a red light). Furthermore, it is also the subject of the sentence because it is what's being described.

‘Nowadays there should be no differences in the ways that boys and girls are raised
uysha [10]

Answer:

While I don’t believe this should be debate in a school setting (no matter the grade) because this is a serious thing for most people, I think that they should be taught and raised the same.

       Evry child, boy or girl,should have the same resources and upbringing asone another. I get that there are some sensitive topics that are reserved for one one rather than the other however, teaching these things to both can reduce insensitivity toward the other. If they understand it better they won’t make fun of it as much. This is similar to the Dunning-Kruger effect. People who have less ability at something only judge others rather than themselves. For example, only girls learning about certain hygiene and other facts are helpful and can make then feel more comfortable talking about it. However, boys make fun of/teasse girls when they go throught those things often because they dont go throught it or dont understand it.

      Some kids can’t have the same upbring based on their parents or other causes, may it be economic or domestic, however in public (places like schools or daycares) we should still teach the same values. Every kid should know right from wrong, to be kind and helpful and how to properly express themselves.

AHH I'm sorry I forgot I had an appointment. This is 213 words, I didn't have time to proofread as I went. Hope this helps at the very least!
