Which of the following literary elements is a defining characteristic of heroic couplets?




free verse


extended metaphor

internal rhyme


iambic pentameter

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

A heroic couplet is always rhymed and is usually in iambic pentameter (although there is some variation of the meter). The heroic couplet is also usually closed, meaning that both lines are end-stopped (by some type of punctuation), and the lines are a self-contained grammatical unit.

In 2010, Americans recycled 85 million tons of trash that would have otherwise gone into landfills. While that number is impressive, we still need to convince the people who do not recycle or don’t recycle as much as they could, to start doing their part. Do either of the following excuses sound familiar?
“Sending trash to landfills is working fine, so why should I recycle?” Landfills are still collecting trash, but that solution is far from problem-free. Garbage is tightly placed into landfills and the lack of air prevents the breakdown of paper and other biodegradable trash. Even when decomposition occurs, it generates methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that adds to global warming concerns. Plastic and other materials that don’t break down just pile up in the landfill, creating “mountains” of trash. Then too, space for landfills is limited, and no one wants to live next to a new landfill that must be built when current space runs out.


What is the author’s point of view about recycling? How does the author respond to a point of view that conflicts with his own

Answers

Answer:

You can see that the author really cares about pollution and why it is bad. He is trying to convince YOU to try to recycle more. He is also trying to convince you to convince other people to recycle.  He is trying to get your attention by explaining how bad the situation is still.

Read the excerpt below from act 1.1 of A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare and answer the question that follows.
EGEUS: Happy be Theseus, our renownèd Duke! [20]
THESEUS: Thanks, good Egeus. What’s the news with thee?
EGEUS: Full of vexation come I, with complaint
Against my child, my daughter Hermia.—
Stand forth, Demetrius.—My noble lord,
This man hath my consent to marry her.— [25]
Stand forth, Lysander.—And, my gracious Duke,
This man hath bewitched the bosom of my child.
Thou, thou, Lysander, thou hast given her rhymes,
And interchanged love tokens with my child.
Thou hast by moonlight at her window sung [30]
With feigning voice verses of feigning love,
And stol’n the impression of her fantasy
With bracelets of thy hair, rings, gawds, conceits,
Knacks, trifles, nosegays, sweetmeats—messengers
Of strong prevailment in unhardened youth. [35]
With cunning hast thou filched my daughter’s heart,
Turned her obedience which is due to me
To stubborn harshness. And, my gracious Duke,
Be it so she will not here before your grace
Consent to marry with Demetrius, [40]
I beg the ancient privilege of Athens:
As she is mine, I may dispose of her,
Which shall be either to this gentleman
Or to her death, according to our law
Immediately provided in that case. [45]
THESEUS: What say you, Hermia? Be advised, fair maid.
To you your father should be as a god,
One that composed your beauties, yea, and one
To whom you are but as a form in wax,
By him imprinted, and within his power [50]
To leave the figure or disfigure it.
Demetrius is a worthy gentleman.
HERMIA: So is Lysander.
THESEUS: In himself he is,
But in this kind, wanting your father’s voice,
The other must be held the worthier. [55]
HERMIA: I would my father looked but with my eyes.
THESEUS: Rather your eyes must with his judgment look.
HERMIA: I do entreat your grace to pardon me.
I know not by what power I am made bold,
Nor how it may concern my modesty [60]
In such a presence here to plead my thoughts,
But I beseech your grace that I may know
The worst that may befall me in this case
If I refuse to wed Demetrius.
THESEUS: Either to die the death, or to abjure [65]
For ever the society of men.
Therefore, fair Hermia, question your desires.
Know of your youth, examine well your blood,
Whether, if you yield not to your father’s choice,
You can endure the livery of a nun, [70]
For aye to be in shady cloister mewed,
To live a barren sister all your life,
Chanting faint hymns to the cold fruitless moon.
Thrice blessèd they that master so their blood
To undergo such maiden pilgrimage; [75]
But earthlier happy is the rose distilled
Than that which, withering on the virgin thorn,
Grows, lives, and dies in single blessedness.
HERMIA: So will I grow, so live, so die, my lord,
Ere I will my virgin patent up [80]
Unto his lordship, whose unwishèd yoke
My soul consents not to give sovereignty.
THESEUS: Take time to pause, and by the next new moon—
The sealing day betwixt my love and me
For everlasting bond of fellowship— [85]
Upon that day either prepare to die
For disobedience to your father’s will,
Or else to wed Demetrius, as he would,
Or on Diana’s altar to protest
For aye austerity and single life. [90]

5. Which sentence uses an informal tone to appeal to an audience of high school students?
1. Are you concerned about whether you'll still be popular and included this year at school or whether you'll feel like an outcast-or worse, be picked on? 2. Instead of being centered on shared values and beliefs, many cliques tend to focus on maintaining their status and popularity. 3.Cliques can be very limiting in the way they control how members look, think, dress, and behave. 4.Being a friend means being respectful, fair, interested, trustworthy, honest, caring, and kind.​

Answers

Answer:

4. Being a friend means being respectful, fair, interested, trustworthy, honest, caring, and kind.​

Explanation:

When someone is holding a speech, they need to pay attention to what their audience is like. The tone a speaker will use will not be the same when they're speaking to an audience that consists of scientists and one that consists of high school students.

Students mostly use informal language. Informal language is more casual, spontaneous, and personal than formal language, which is always carefully thought out and mostly used in a professional or academic setting.

The sentence that uses informal language is the fourth one. The vocabulary and sentence structure are simple and similar to what we would hear in everyday situations, which is typical for informal language.

Identity the sentence below as either simple, compound, or complex.
I love this study, and I am going to continue in it.
type of sentence:

Answers

Answer:

Compound sentence.

Explanation:

A compound sentence is one where there are two or more independent clauses joined together by coordinating conjunctions such as "and, but, or, so" etc. or a comma, semicolon, etc. It also can be identified by the presence of a subject and a predicate in the sentence.

In the given sentence "I love this study, and I am going to continue in it", we can correctly say that it is a compound sentence. First is the presence of two independent clauses "I love this study" and "I am going to continue in it". Moreover, the two are joined by the comma and coordinating conjunction "and". It also contains the subject "I" and a predicate "love this study" and "am going to continue".

Thus, the correct answer is a compound sentence.
