Answer:
Parallelism
Explanation:
The given excerpt is an example of parallelism.
Parallelism (also known as parallel structure or parallel construction) is a figure of speech in which phrases in a sentence are grammatically the same or similar in construction, sound, meaning, or meter. The purpose of parallelism is to give balance, clarity, pattern, or rhythm.
In the second sentence of the excerpt, we have several repetitions:
- <u>There was </u>no hurry, for <u>there was</u> nowhere to go. (there + past simple tense + negation)
- ... nowhere <u>to go</u>, nothing <u>to buy</u> and no money <u>to buy</u> it with, nothing<u> to see</u> outside the boundaries of Maycomb County. (negation + infinitive)
- ... <u>nothing to buy</u> and no money to buy it with, <u>nothing to see</u> outside the boundaries of Maycomb County. (a part of the repetition I previously pointed out - nothing + infinitive).
Answer and Explanation:
A meaningful drill suitable for teaching students what a substantive clause is would be a list with several sentences where some contain the substantive clause and others do not. In this case, students should identify the sentences that contained the substantive clauses and underline these clauses.
It is important to point out that the noun clause is the dependent clause that replaces the noun, which is the class of words that gives name to any element. An example of this noun clause can be seen in the sentence "She was frightened by the sight in front of her," where the term "the sight in front of her" replaces a noun and is therefore a noun clause.
In addition, it is important to remember that a meaningful drill is an exercise where the resolution depends on the understanding of the subject discussed.

<em>Reading that "Tom kicked the ball into the net with no time to spare" and inferring that he is playing soccer is an inference of</em><em>:</em>
A. action
B. instrumentation
C. time
D. location
Answer:
<u>A. action</u>
Explanation:
Remember, to<em> 'infer' </em>could also mean to conclude based on the facts/data provided.
Hence, inferring from the "action" carried out by Tom would logically lead us to the conclusion that <em>he is playing soccer. </em>Why? <u>Because engaging in the game of soccer involves the action of kicking a ball into the net quickly. </u>
