PLEASE HELP ME

1 answer:
erastova [34]3 years ago

Answer:

As used in this epigram, "nomadic" is modifying the noun "longings".

Explanation:

This question is tricky because <u>the word order in the poem is inverted. In English, the adjective is placed before the noun it modifies</u>: beautiful girl, blue sky, bright eyes, etc. But here, the author has chosen to place the adjective "nomadic" after the noun it refers to, which would be "longings". What the epigraph means is that our old nomadic longings, that is, that desire we have to move from one place to another, which we inherited from our ancestors, will burst out if we stay in one place for too long.

The poem by John Meyers O'Hara is used as an epigraph (short quotation) at the beginning of "The Call of the Wild", a novel by Jack London.

Proofread the following text and correct the three subject-verb disagreements.
Softa [21]

Answer:

Answer is in the explanation.

Explanation:

In grammatically correct sentences, subject and verb must agree in person (first, second, third) and in number (singular, plural). The given passage has three disagreements:  

1) ...<em>the fate of the diamond were unknown</em>...

Since <em>the fate</em> is third-person singular it needs to be followed by a verb <em>was </em>

2) <em>neither men or conflict have dimmed... </em>

It is a general rule that when we have a neither/nor (either/or) construction, the verb agrees with the closest subject ( in this case<em> the conflict</em>) which is in the third person singular, so it needs to be followed by the verb<em> has</em>

3) ... <em>the twin eighty-year-old brothers suggests.</em>..

The subject here is<em> the twin brothers</em> (they) which is third person plural, so the following verb must be <em>suggest</em>

Difference between standard and freeform poetry
coldgirl [10]

Answer: There is no set metrical rhyme or patterns of meter and rhythm. Unlike traditional verse, free form is not constrained by the rules regulating syllables in stanzas. There is often confusion as to what is meant by visual poetry.
