Answer:

<u>An infinitive phrase as the subject</u>

Explanation:

Infinitives are a type of verbals (verbs forms that do not act as verbs) that function as adjectives, adverbs or nouns in a sentence.

It is formed with the word "to" + the simple present form of a verb; for example, to + play. Infinitive phrases, then, are phrases containing an infinitive that is followed by any objects, and/or modifiers of that infinitive.

The sentence "To win an argument is seldom a desirable goal" contains an infinitive phrase, which it's "To win an argument", and such phrase is acting as a noun, more specifically, as the subject of the sentence because it is the main thing being described.

Answer:

They are similar because they both were stranded on an icy mountain and had no way to go back home. It is presented in a differently fictionalized way because they thought they were going to find a mythical river leading to somewhere secret but it turned out to be a lie and they didn’t find the river.

Answer:

My skateboard is the thing that I most prize:

My sun, my moon, my stars. And it may be

Worn down and shabby-looking old device

But it's a first-rate vehicle you'll see.

Explanation:

A sonnet is a short poem that typically has iambic pentameter (a pattern of 10 stressed and unstressed syllables). In the most common type of Sonnet (Shakespeare style), the rhyme scheme tends to be ABAB, which is the one that Abel's sonnet has. The first two lines have already 10 syllables, so they are complete. The words "old device" (3 syllables) and "you'll see" (2 syllables) are added to the last two lines to complete the sonnet and maintain the same rhyme scheme.
