Read the excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. I had two sisters and one brother, that lived in the same house with me; but the early separation of us from our mother had well nigh blotted the fact of our relationship from our memories.

It reminds the reader of the efforts that Douglass made to learn to write. It implies that Douglass and his siblings nearly forgot about their early lives. It emphasizes that Douglass felt he could rewrite elements of his past.

Why does Esperanza compare herself to a red balloon, a balloon tied with an anchor?
Answer and Explanation:
In "The House on Mango Street", character Esperanza compares herself to a red balloon:
“Until then, I am a red balloon, a balloon tied to an anchor.”
When she makes this comparison, Esperanza feels as if she does not have a friend to count on fully. Her anchor is Nenny, her younger sister. But notice that, at the same time an anchor provides some safety, it also holds you down. Esperanza feels that she and Nenny cannot truly be friends. She hopes for a friend her age, with whom she can share anything. No wonder she feels like a red balloon. She is ready to float away, to reach new heights, to drift apart from the life she has now. She also feels different than others (red is quite a flashy color). Yet, until she is able to find this friend she needs so much, she will be held down by this anchor, incapable of flying away.

There never was a time when the world was without fire, but there was a time when men did not know how to kindle fire; and after they learned how to kindle one, it was a long, long time before they learned how to kindle one easily. In these days we can kindle a fire without any trouble, because we can easily get a match; but we must remember that the match is one of the most wonderful things in the world, and that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make one. Let us learn the history of this familiar little object, the match.
Fire was first given to man by nature itself. When a forest is set on fire by cinders from a neighboring volcano, or when a tree is set ablaze by a thunderbolt, we may say that nature strikes a match. In the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark. The first method, then, of getting fire for use was to light sticks of wood at a flame kindled by nature—by a volcano, perhaps, or by a stroke of lightning. These firebrands were carried to the home and used in kindling the fires there. The fire secured in this way was carefully guarded and was kept burning as long as possible. But the flame, however faithfully watched, would sometimes be extinguished. A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out. Then a new firebrand would have to be secured, and this often meant a long journey and a deal of trouble.
In 1827, John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar.

(1 point) a.compound sentence b.items in a series c.appositive d.long introductory element 2.What is an appositive?(1 point) a.a word or group of words that renames a noun b.a phrase of four words or more that begins a sentence c.a series of three or more items d.a sentence of two independent clauses 3.How is ownership shown for singular nouns?(1 point) a.add -'s to the noun b.add -s to the noun c.add an apostrophe if the noun already ends in -s d.add -es to the noun 4.What is one purpose of quotation marks?(1 point) a.to indicate when someone is speaking b.to separate two independent clauses c.to show an author's narration d.to end a complete thought
Answer:
1). a. Compound sentence
2). a. A word or group of words that renames a noun
3). a. add -'s to the noun.
4). a. to indicate when someone is speaking
Explanation:
1). Compound sentences are defined as the sentences that consist of a minimum of two independent clauses conveying complete sense. These two clauses are joined using a comma(,), semicolon(;), or coordinating conjunction. Since the given sentence is a compound sentence joined using a conjunction ('for'), the comma rule followed would be 'compound sentence' as it separates the one independent idea from the other.
2). Appositives are defined as the word of a group of words which is the explanatory equivalent of a noun or a noun phrase in a sentence. Both the appositive and the noun possess the same syntactic function in the sentence. Thus, it functions to rename a noun or noun phrase.
3). Ownership or possession in the case of a singular noun is showed using an apostrophe(') followed by s, no matter if the word ends with the letter s or not. Apostrophe only is used to denote a plural noun ending with the letter s. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
4). Quotation marks are used for a variety of purposes. One of them is to quote the exact words used by the speaker in his/her speech during a conversation. Thus, it indicates the exact dialogue of the person who was speaking or is speaking. Hence, option A is the correct answer.
Answer:
1. Compound sentence
2. A word or group of words that renames a noun
3. Add -s' to the noun
4. To indicate when someone is speaking
