Answer:
Shifting of a young boy from a relatively simple existence in a Mexican village to a somewhat hectic and complex life in a different culture and in an urban setting is the story all about.
Explanation:
Barrio boy is a dramatic and a vivid autobiography. This has been written by Ernesto Galarza. The story is of a boy who is caught in between the worlds when he moves from Mexico to United States of America.
The change in the lifestyle of that boy when he moves from a rural life to an area where the life is very hectic, busy and complex is the theme and the points of focus of the story.
Answer:
He's reading to try to distract himself from the grief of losing a "rare and radiant maiden" named Lenore. ... Perhaps the gentle knocking on the door causes him to hope that it's Lenore, and he has to tell himself otherwise in order to quell the likely disappointment that reality will bring him.
Plot : What is the sequence of events in the story?
Characters: What do we learn about the boy whom the story is about?
Point of View: Is the boy telling the story or is an outside narrator telling the story?
Theme: What does the author want us to learn from the story?
Setting: Where does the boy live?
An adjective clause is basically a phrase (to be exact, a dependent clause: a group of words that can't be a sentence) that provides more description. It begins with a pronoun or adverb, like: who, whom, that, which, when, where, or why. It is not necessary to the sentence, so you can take it out and it still makes sense.
Let's work backwards. D is "If I put on headphones, I can play the electric piano without disturbing others." "If I put on headphones" is a phrase, a dependent clause, providing more description. Does it start with one of the words above? No. Is it necessary to the sentence? Yes, because this is the whole point of the sentence: to tell you HOW the character can play the piano without disturbing others, using headphones. D is incorrect.
Here's C: "I have taken piano lessons since I was six years old." "Since I was six years old" provides more description and is dependent. Does it start with one of the words above? No. Is it necessary to the sentence? Yes, because again, it's the point of the sentence. "I have taken piano lessons" doesn't tell you much! C is incorrect.
What about B? "When I first learn a difficult piece, I play it very slowly." "When I first learn a difficult piece" provides more description, and is a dependent clause. Does it start with one of the words above? YES: it starts with "when"!! We're getting closer. But is it necessary to the sentence? Try it: "I play it very slowly." But WHY does the character play it slowly? This phrase IS necessary, to explain, because it's the point of the sentence! B is incorrect.
That just leaves A: "My new electric piano, which includes over 1,000 different settings, is fun to play." The dependent clause providing more description is "which includes over 1,000 different settings." Does it start with one of the words above? YES, it starts with "which"!! Is it necessary to the sentence? Try it without the clause. "My new electric piano is fun to play." That works!! The clause is NOT necessary, starts with "which," AND provides more description! We have our winner!
Answer: A
Answer:
D. An article published in a law journal.
Explanation:
Magazines are not always truthful and a college student might have not put some important details. So I say D but if that is wrong I would say C, a text book on U.S. History.
