Which excerpt from Carl Sandburg's "How the Animals Lost Their Tails and Got Them Back Traveling from Philadelphia to Medicine H

at" uses onomatopoeia?
1. And when they jumped up and ran out of the potato rows, Mr. Sniggers thought they were boys playing tricks.

2. Then the blue foxes and the yellow flongboos pattered pitty-pat, pitty-pat, each with feet and toenails, ears and hair, everything except tails, patter scritch scratch over the stone floor out into the train shed.

3. The train jumped off the tracks down in the valley and cut across in a straight line on a cut-off, jumped on the tracks again and went on toward Ohio.

4. Each blue fox and yellow flongboo got a newspaper for himself and each one looked long and careful upside down to see how he looked in the picture in the newspaper climbing a telephone pole standing on his head eating pink ice cream with an iron ax.

5. Some went to sleep but the two baby blue foxes stayed up all night watching the snow ghosts and telling snow ghost stories to each other.

In the given excerpts, the one that contains an example of onomatopoeia is the option 2. It uses the words "pitty-pat, pitty-pat" and "scritch scratch" to imitate the sound of the blue foxes and yellow flongboos pattering with their feet, toenails, ears and hair.

How is the "inborn talents" model similar to and different from the "new picture"?
katrin2010 [14]

Similarities and difference between "inborn talents" from the "new picture" is given below.

Explanation:

“In the past, leadership scholars considered charisma, intelligence and other personality traits to be the key to effective leadership. Accordingly, these academics thought that good leaders use their inborn talents to dominate followers and tell them what to do, with the goal either of injecting them with enthusiasm and willpower that they would otherwise lack or of enforcing compliance.

“In recent years, however, a new picture of leadership has emerged, one that better accounts for leadership performance. In this alternative view, effective leaders must work to understand the values and opinions of their followers—rather than assuming absolute authority—to enable a productive dialogue with followers about what the group embodies and stands for and thus how it should act. By leadership, we mean the ability to shape what followers actually want to do, not the act of enforcing compliance using rewards and punishments.

Leadership effectiveness is the product of individual ability to be the architect of culture, to understand the values and attitudes of followers (who may be colleagues as well as direct reports), and to inspire the contributions, cooperation and mutual support of the people around the would-be leader.

According to this new approach, no fixed set of personality traits can assure good leadership because the most desirable traits depend on the nature of the group being led and the context at hand.

Which excerpt from Part 3 of The Odyssey is cited properly in MLA style? “They scrambled to their places by the rowlocks / and a
maks197457 [2]

“They scrambled to their places by the rowlocks / and all in line dipped oars in the gray sea” (Homer 6-7).

In-text MLA citations should include the author's last name and page number when available. The citation must be after the quotation, but outside of the quoted text. The citation should be in parenthesis and not include a comma between the author's last name and page number. The comma is extraneous. In order to make it clear that the parenthetical citation belongs to the quoted text and not the sentence following, there needs to be a comma after the citation - not before.
