A subordinate clause, or a dependent clause is the correct answer. A dependent clause cannot exist on its own, it has to be a part of a main, independent clause.
Yes.
it is not possible under current U.S. law to copyright or protect an idea. (You also cannot copyright a title.) So, how much precaution should you take to keep your ideas secret?
Very little. I guarantee that others have similar ideas; you see it happen all the time in the business. Chalk it up to cultural zeitgeist. While I don’t advocate advertising your idea far and yon, or putting flashing lights around it on your blog, the chances that an agent, editor, critique partner, or stranger will:
(a) steal your idea
(b) execute your idea better than you
(c) AND be able to sell it
… are next to zero. It is not worth worrying about. Share your work with trusted advisers, send it to agents/editors for consideration, and talk about aspects of it on your blog. No problem. Unless you are known in the industry for coming up with million-dollar high concepts, it’s not likely you’ll experience idea theft.
Also, I love Jeanne Bowerman‘s take on this fear: Sure, someone can steal your idea, but they can’t possibly execute it or interpret it in the same way you can. No one can be you. That is your best protection of all.
The logical fallacy that Jane makes in her response to Fran is red herring. This is because her response is deliberately diverting the conversation away from what Fran is saying.
<span>Kenings are when you use two or more words to describe objects that could be described with a single word, however, this is more poetic. It was pretty common in the old times, around the 10th century. Evil-doer is a kenning that means villain or baddie. Any type of an antagonist can be often described as an evil-doer, because it sometimes fits your verse or sounds more poetic than just saying villain.</span>
Answer:
A. Gregory feels pressured to prove himself to his classmates by getting revenge on Mrs. Wessex.
Explanation:
The short story <em>Teacher Tamer</em> by Avi tells of how a bright young boy in school brought a huge impact on a struggling teacher. Mrs. Wessex changed her demeanor after getting compliments from Gregory which also led to a change in the whole class's attitude towards their teacher.
Gregory is a bright student who tried hard to impress his new classmates. Though bright and even good-natured, the pressure of being similar and liked by the rowdy students in his class led him to plan revenge on Mrs. Wessex for her wrongful accusation about the spitball. This revenge was a way to prove his worth to his class and even become what Dory termed <em>“the hero of the whole class”</em>.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
