Read the excerpt from the interview with E.Y. (Yip) Harburg.

English

Art [367]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Because the man worked for it.

Explanation:

Harburg feels it is a legitimate question because it goes beyond a man just begging for alms to fend for himself. The man played a pivotal role in creating the wealth that circulates the economy, he took part in keeping the society safe, he grew up in the society and contributed his quota to seeing it better. However, now he has to wait in line to partake of a wealth he helped create. So the question goes beyond him asking for what to fend for himself with, it is also him asking for what should be his by virtue of labour.

Appositive refers to a word or a noun that is followed by another phrase or noun which identifies or rename the noun or word. In other words, it refers to the literary device which appears after or before a noun phrase or noun, used with a comma.


4. (Talking) is not allowed in class- Gerund

Gerund in a sentence functions as a noun. Hence in a sentence, a gerund will act as direct objects, subjects, subject complements, an object of prepositions or indirect objects. Every gerund ends in -ing, and so does present participles. On the other hand, present participles act as modifiers or complete progressive verbs.

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Thank you should be sent immediately or the day after you received them.

Explanation:

Thank you should be sent immediately after you received gifts or hospitality because it is to show gratitude and delay to send or say thank you immediately is a sign of ingratitude.

Thank you is a sign of respect and it is use for expressing gratitude for things done. If we did not say thank you, our relationship might change and the person may not want to help some other time.
