The correct answer is B because there is proper usage of comma in the sentence.
A comma can be used to show a pause, separate clause in a complex sentence which it performs in the sentence above.
The answer is not A because a semicolon is used to link or join together two independent clauses that are closely relating in thought
*A clause is a group of words that contain a subject and a predicate.
The answer is not C either because there is an omission of the comma after 'families'.

Answer: His response to the violence he has constantly been subjected to.
Explanation:
Throughout the story, Richard suffers physical and mental abuse from his family, white people, the Communist Party. The violence he´s subjected to by his family and society, in general, ends up taking over him, making him feel that he needs to show power through violent acts to earn respect.

two accented syllables
five feet
O six feet
iambic pentameter
Otrochaic trimeter
The correct answer is E. Trochaic trimeter
Explanation:
In poems, verses usually follow a strict structure of accented/ unstressed syllables known as metric. In the case of the trochaic trimeter, this is composed of three (trimeter) trochees, which are the combination of one stressed syllable and one unstressed syllable. This means in total there are 6 syllables and three trochees (poetic feet).
This occurs in the line “Little Lamb, who made thee?" because there are six syllables "Li/ttle/Lamb /who/made/thee?" and each pair of syllables includes a stressed syllable and one unstressed syllable or three trochees Li/ttle/Lamb /who/made/thee? (stressed syllables are in bold)

Read the passage from Animal Farm. Mr. Pilkington, of Foxwood, had stood up, his mug in his hand. In a moment, he said, he would ask the present company to drink a toast. But before doing so, there were a few words that he felt it incumbent upon him to say. It was a source of great satisfaction to him, he said—and, he was sure, to all others present—to feel that a long period of mistrust and misunderstanding had now come to an end. There had been a time—not that he, or any of the present company, had shared such sentiments—but there had been a time when the respected proprietors of Animal Farm had been regarded, he would not say with hostility, but perhaps with a certain measure of misgiving, by their human neighbours. Unfortunate incidents had occurred, mistaken ideas had been current. It had been felt that the existence of a farm owned and operated by pigs was somehow abnormal and was liable to have an unsettling effect in the neighbourhood. Too many farmers had assumed, without due enquiry, that on such a farm a spirit of licence and indiscipline would prevail. They had been nervous about the effects upon their own animals, or even upon their human employees. But all such doubts were now dispelled. Today he and his friends had visited Animal Farm and inspected every inch of it with their own eyes, and what did they find? Not only the most up-to-date methods, but a discipline and an orderliness which should be an example to all farmers everywhere. He believed that he was right in saying that the lower animals on Animal Farm did more work and received less food than any animals in the county. Indeed, he and his fellow-visitors today had observed many features which they intended to introduce on their own farms immediately. How does Orwell's characterization of Mr. Pilkington support his purpose? Orwell draws parallels between Mr. Pilkington and the other farmers in town to show how dictatorial practices can be spread. Orwell uses Mr. Pilkington to represent a new understanding between humans and animals that is beneficial for both. Orwell uses Mr. Pilkington's speech to represent a modern way of farming that includes having farms run by animals. Orwell draws parallels between Mr. Pilkington and leaders of countries who overlooked Stalin's poor treatment of his people.
Answer:
A - Orwell draws parallels between Mr. Pilkington and the other farmers in town to show how dictatorial practices can be spread.

Vaping is not good for the human body
I said that vaping is not good because it puts bad stuff in your lungs like nickel and lead. I could prove this because it was on a spotify ad.
I learned that when you vape, it's like spraying hair spray in your lungs. And it also went with my thing about toxic metals.
Jeff sat next to Bob and Jeff said that vaping is like inhaling all the good vitamins for the day. Bob then said no, it isn't like that.
I then said that vaping could give you vitamins, but maybe not the good ones that you don't want in your body.
Bob also had seen the spotify ad about vaping and he looked up that it was not an actual vape monster in it and that it was just there to represent that vaping is like a silent and small monster that is not good for you.
Jeff said that the monster was real, but he didn't have any evidence to prove it was real, but Bob did.
All the evidence that Bob had made it really easy to know which is a better thing to do, which was to vape, or not to vape.

The goths crossed into the Roman territory earlier than the franks. What is the elliptical adverb clause?
Answer:
'than the Franks' is the elliptical adverb clause.
Explanation:
A adverb clause is a dependent clause that serves as an adverb in a statement. An adverb, in a statement, is used as a modifier of a verb, an adjective, and another adverb. Thus, an adverb clause serves as an modifier of a verb, an adjective, and another adverb in a sentence.

Thus the correct answer is 'than the Franks.'

An epic is a long narrative poem in which a heroic protagonist engages in an action of great mythic or historical significance. What is mythical about Beowulf's battles?
Answer:
The fight with the monsters and dragons makes it a mythical battle.
Explanation:
Beowulf is an epic narrative that tells the heroic deeds of the protagonist Beowulf. This epic narrative tells of the life of Beowulf and how he came to save the Geats from the monstrous Grendel and his mother.
Myths are those stories of legends that tell the heroic deeds of the human and his victory over the gods, demi-gods, and other supernatural elements such as monsters. In that sense, Beowulf is also a myth in that he battles the monster Grendel and his mother, and also fought against a dragon. The presence or involvement of the monsters and dragons made it a mythical story.
