Winter had blown into Illinois early this year, and still it was only December. The once soft, yellow midwestern fields had been

transformed into a bleak and jagged landscape of snow and ice. Sadie's mother had been transferred by her company to McHale, Illinois in late October, and so the family had relocated from the warm and sunny California coast to the heart of the frigid Midwest. Despite the splendid new house surrounded by beautiful countryside, it had been difficult for Sadie to acclimate. She was fully conscious that she required time to adjust to the new surroundings. Her father explained that she must learn to adapt, but this seemed like an entirely different world. Ramira was reading this paragraph and came across the word "acclimate." At first, she decided that the word must mean "move." Is Ramira's understanding of the word acclimate correct?
1. Yes, it is correct; the context explains that Sadie did not want to leave California.

2. Yes, it is correct the paragraph tells about Sadie's dislike of the weather in the new place.

3. No, it is incorrect; the context explains that Sadie is struggling to "become accustomed to her new situation.

04. No, it is incorrect; the passage tells about Sadie's need to "focus on" a solution to her problem.​

Answer:

3. No, it is incorrect; the context explains that Sadie is struggling to "become accustomed to her new situation.

Explanation:

The term "acclimate" means struggling to adapt to a new environment or conditions. It is used for situational change.

So, when Ramira thought the word meant "move", her understanding is completely wrong. The context in which the word "acclimate" is used in the passage is to explain Sadie's struggle to be familiar and adapt to the colder climate whereas Ramira's understanding is completely off.

So, the correct answer is option 3.

Identify the grammatical function of the bolded noun clause in this sentence:
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

The correct answer is <u>C</u>: predicate nominative.

Explanation:

Will's problem was <u>that he didn't know how to register for classes.</u>

Predicate nominative represents a group of words that completes a linking verb and renames the subject. A predicate nominative can be found after a linking verb.

In our example, the subject would be <em>Will's problem</em>, the linking verb would be <em>was</em>, while the rest of the sentence would represent a predicate nominative.

By Maya Angelou asking people to go back to their dreams, referencing Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" Speech, she crea
ycow [4]

Answer:

Allusion.

Explanation:

"On the Pulse Of Morning" is a poem written and recited by Maya Angelou on the eve of the first inauguration of President Bill Clinton. Maya Angelou was the second poet to recite a poem on a presidential inauguration and also the first woman and African American.

In her poem she called the people to go back to their 'dreams.' The call of going back to the dream is used in reference to the speech 'I Have a Dream' delivered by Martin Luther King Jr. By referencing to the 'Dream' of Martin Luther, Maya has created an allusion.

An allusion is a literary device that is used to indirectly use reference of a person, place, thing, or idea in a literary work. It is known as referencing of other's literary work in a literary work. When a writer uses an allusion, he/she does not elaborate much on the topic but expects his audience to understand the idea that he/she wants to convey.

<u>By referencing Martin's 'dream' in her poem, Maya is urging her audience to dream the dream that Martin had for America, of equality and brotherhood.</u>

Thus the correct answer is an allusion.
