What is an excerpt?

An excerpt is indeed a quotation from that other resource that the author introduces with fresh language in a sentence. This phrase is taken from Thomas Jefferson's 1801 inaugural speech: As he warned his audience, "I may often go wrong by defect of judgement," Jefferson admitted the fallibility of human nature. "I shall frequently err through lack of judgement" is the excerpt.

This is a brief passage from a lengthy work, hence being an excerpt first from Declaration of Independence: "When it comes to necessary for one nation to cut the political ties that have bound them to another, and also to assume among powers of the world," says the philosopher Aristotle. The gold gifts is a symbol in this excerpt.

Therefore, the correct option is option A.

Answers

Answer:

When Maya Angelou says that words mean more than what is set down on paper, she means that there is always a meaning with greater intent.

Explanation:

When she says it takes the human voice to infuse them with deeper meaning she means how people sat things in a certain tone and it can mean more to us when said to us rather than us reading it.

Which detail from the beginning of part 1 of "For the Win" most supports the prediction that Dean will not properly care for his dogs during the race? From track and field to archery, Dean was always the winner, but that wasn't what bothered Jake. "Now Dean shows up to ruin everything," he thought as he checked his gear one last time. "Dean knows nothing about dogs. He simply spent a whole bunch of money to buy a top team and a fancy sled." The blog posts of the last week had only made matters worse. Jake and Dean were the two youngest mushers in this year's race . . .

Answers

Answer:

"Dean knows nothing about dogs. He simply spent a whole bunch of money to buy a top team and a fancy sled."

Explanation:

According to the excerpt, Jake grumbles about Dean being the winner in pretty much anything he competes in.

However, he was not bothered about that now, but the fact that Dean does not know anything about dogs, he only spends a lot of money getting dogs and a fancy sled.

Therefore, the detail from the excerpt that supports the prediction that Dean will not properly care for his dogs during the race is the detail where Jake alleges that Dean knows nothing about dogs and insinuates that he would do anything to win because he's spent a lot of money on the dogs.

a sentence demonstrating direct address These colors were chosen for the school: purple, green, and white.

Answers

Answer:

Independent clauses linked without a conjunction - Hang gliding is a popular pastime; it takes skill and a bit of daring.

An introductory participial phrase - Walking without a cane, the old man tried to escape unnoticed.

A mark indicating that a list will follow - These colors were chosen for the school: purple, green, and white.

A comma linking two independent clauses - Christ was equal with God, but He willingly became a servant.

A sentence demonstrating direct address - You seem to have found, my good friend, a real peace in life.

Explanation:

When a sentence consists of multiple independent clauses, they need to be connected by a conjunction preceded by a comma or a semicolon (like in the sentence: Hang gliding is a popular pastime; it takes skill and a bit of daring.)

Introductory participial phrases are phrases that contain participles and are located at the beginning of the sentence. Participles are forms of verbs used as adjectives. They end in -ed, -ing or -en.

The mark that indicates that a list will follow is the colon.

Direct address involves the use of a person's name or title to address that person directly.

Which event from "Seventh Grade" is part of the story's rising action? Victor waits in line to receive his computer card. Victor lingers in his homeroom so he can be near Teresa. Victor agrees to help Teresa learn the French language. Victor goes to the library and checks out French textbook

Answers

Answer:

Victor lingers in his homeroom so he can be near Teresa.

Explanation:

The rising action of a story is one part of the plot where the characters act or say in such a way that it builds up and creates suspense. It occurs before the climax of the story but acts or helps in building the suspense to the climax.

In Gary Soto's short story "Seventh Grade", the character Victor wants to impress Teresa, a girl he likes. So, he'd do everything in such a way that he's near her or that she will notice him. One scene which is a part of the rising action is when he lingers near his homeroom just to be near her.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.

Answer:

Your answer is "Victor lingers in his homeroom so he can be near Teresa". :)

How does this sentence help develop the idea that rescue dogs can become important family members?


It shows that having a dog is an important part of childhood.

It shows that even though Parker's family gave Toby a home, Toby now protects Parker's life.

It explains how rescue dogs like Toby are just as adorable and friendly as dogs from a pet shop.

It contrasts Toby's situation in the shelter with his new life with Parker.

B. It shows that even though Parker's Familym gave Toby a home, Toby now protects parkers life.

Explanation: A is completely irrelevant as it doesn't mention anywhere in the text that having a pet is an "Important" part of childhood! C. doesn't make complete sense because they didn't mention any comparison between dogs from the pet shops and rescue dogs (In terms of Friendliness and cuteness) In The story, It never compares Toby's life in the shelter with his new life at all!

is this sentences verb transitive, intransitive or linking?
please give me a good example!!!

Answers

Answer:

You can tell by simple textures of the feature.

Answer:

your expletives answer is it's transitive it should be.

Explanation:

Objects

A verb may be followed by an object that completes the meaning of the verb. Two kinds of objects follow verbs: direct objects and indirect objects. To determine if a verb has a direct object, isolate the verb and make it into a question by placing whom? or what? after it. The answer—if there is one—is the direct object, as in the following examples:

Direct objectThe advertising executive drove a flashy red Porsche.Direct objectHer staff gave her a bouquet of flowers.

The second sentence above also contains an indirect object (her). An indirect object (which, like a direct object, is always a noun or pronoun) is, in a sense, the recipient of the direct object. To determine if a verb has an indirect object, isolate the verb and ask to whom?, to what?, for whom? or for what? after it. The answer is the indirect object.

Not all verbs are followed by objects, as in the following sentences:

The guest speaker rose from her chair to protest.After work, Randy usually jogs around the canal.Transitive and Intransitive Verbs

Verbs that take objects are known as transitive verbs. Verbs not followed by objects are called intransitive verbs.

Some verbs can be either transitive or intransitive, depending on the context, as in the following examples:

TransitiveI hope the Senators win the next game.The verb win has a direct object (the next game) and is therefore a transitive verb.IntransitiveDid we win?The verb win has no direct object and is therefore an intransitive verb.Subject Complements

In addition to transitive verbs and intransitive verbs, there are linking verbs. The word or phrase which follows a linking verb is called a subject complement (not an object).

The most common linking verb is be. Other linking verbs are become, seem, appear, feel, grow, look, smell, taste and sound, among others. Note that some of these can be linking verbs, transitive verbs or intransitive verbs, depending on how you use them, as in the following examples:

Linking verb with subject complementHe was a radiologist before he became a full-time yoga instructor.Linking verb with subject complementYour homemade chili smells delicious.Transitive verb with direct objectI can’t smell anything with this terrible cold.Intransitive verb with no objectThe interior of the new Buick smells strongly of fish.

Note that a subject complement can be either

Example Sentences

Format reminder: verb, object, propositional phrase, adverb

continue

We will continue the meeting after the break. (transitive)

The meeting continued after the break. (intransitive)

play

Three of the students play the guitar. (transitive)

The students will play outside today. (intransitive)

return

Javier returned the book to the library. (transitive)

The students returned to school after the winter break. (intransitive)

grow

I grow zucchini in my garden. (transitive)

My daughter is growing quickly. (intransitive)

If you are unsure about whether a verb is transitive or intransitive, you can check a dictionary.  Most dictionaries, such as the online version of Merriam Webster, indicate whether a verb, and each definition of the verb, is transitive or intransitive.  Whether a verb is transitive or intransitive may depend on whether the verb has multiple meanings.  Make sure to read through the examples provided in the dictionary, if available, to ensure that you are using the verb correctly.
