English

Answer:

Capitalize proper nouns—and adjectives derived from proper nouns.

Examples:

the Golden Gate Bridge

the Grand Canyon

a Russian song

a Shakespearean sonnet

a Freudian slip

With the passage of time, some words originally derived from proper nouns have taken on a life, and authority, of their own and no longer require capitalization.

Examples:

herculean (from the mythological hero Hercules)

quixotic (from the hero of the classic novel Don Quixote)

draconian (from ancient-Athenian lawgiver Draco)

The main function of capitals is to focus attention on particular elements within any group of people, places, or things. We can speak of a lake in the middle of the country, or we can be more specific and say Lake Michigan, which distinguishes it from every other lake on earth.

Read the passage.

Answer:

The correct answer is: It is made up of a rhyme scheme of abab, cdcd.

Explanation:

In this sonnet, Shakespeare describes chronicles which contain some beautiful descriptions of the past where he notice the beauty of the youth and the young man.

The syntax of the Sonnet 106 is characterised by a specific rhyme scheme of abab, cdcd, as we can see from the excerpt above. In this excerpt, the first line is rhyming with the third (<em>time </em>rhymes with <em>rhyme</em>), the second line rimes with the fourth (<em>wights </em>rhymes with <em>knights</em>), etc.

When in the chronicle of wasted <u>time</u>

I see descriptions of the fairest wights,

And beauty making beautiful old <u>rhyme</u>,

In praise of ladies dead and lovely knights,

Then in the blazon of sweet beauty's <u>best</u>

Of hand, of foot, of lip, of eye, of brow,

I see their antique pen would have <u>express'd</u>

Even such a beauty as you master now.
