Answer:

<h2><em>Literature, in its broadest sense, is any written work. Etymologically, the term derives from Latin litaritura/litteratura “writing formed with letters,” although some definitions include spoken or sung texts. More restrictively, it is writing that possesses literary merit.</em></h2><h2><em>Literature allows a person to step back in time and learn about life on Earth from the ones who walked before us. We can gather a better understanding of culture and have a greater appreciation of them. We learn through the ways history is recorded, in the forms of manuscripts and through speech itself</em></h2>

Ivanshal [37]

<u>Answer</u>:

In “The First Seven Years” by Bernard Malamud the climax of the story is also an epiphany for Feld because Feld’s confrontation with Sobel makes him to realize he wanted the wrong things for Miriam. So, the correct option is Option C.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Feld’s epiphany is where he realises the importance of allowing Miriam take her own decisions than just imposing his wishes on her. Feld always wants his daughter to have a better life than what he led but he also thinks that she needs to make choices that will make her happy as well. This is also the climax for the story as it makes a break point in the history line. Here, the protagonist understands that Miriam will not be happy with what he wants for her and agrees to let her marry Sobel.

Answer:

And when . . . people enter into a free government, they do not barter away their natural rights; they simply pledge themselves to protect each other in the enjoyment of them, through prescribed judicial and legislative tribunals.

Explanation:

An ellipsis is a series of three dots that is used to indicate the omission of surplus words that can be understood or decoded by examining context clues.

In the excerpt above, the omission of the figures 100, and 1,000,000 still allowed for the retention of the meaning of the passage. Therefore, an ellipsis can be used to replace these figures and shorten Anthony's words.

HELP pls Which sentence contains a dangling modifier?​
Valentin [98]

Answer: A (The first option)

Explanation:

A dangling modifier is when its unclear what’s being modified.

In this, the first option doesn’t specify what or who is in a rush. Instead, it just says ‘in a rush’ thus that should be the answer. The rest of the three parts mention that ‘I’ was in a rush.
