English

Ksivusya [100]2 years ago

Sylvester and Clara had a mix of insecurity and disbelief. In the story, Sylvester, like the other men of the town, considers Oyster’s actions to have
been excessive. Meanwhile, Clara feels that Sylvester should follow Oyster’s example and “go get some ‘gumption’” or have some courage to demand equality. However, Sylvester believes that “you can’t live on gumption,” proven by the Oyster family’s present state. The jobs that the men already had were low status, and barely earned them sufficient pay. If Sylvester were to protest anything he feels is not right, he would be risking his home and everything he has worked for. Sylvester did not believe that he should jeopardize what he has to proclaim what <span>he should have.</span>

Read this passage from chapter 5 of The Prince.
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

1: The first sentence lists specific conditions followed by what might eventually happen.

3: The second sentence starts with the expression “for this reason.”

4: The second sentence lists potential consequences of the situation described.

Explanation:

"The Prince" (1532) is a political treatise by Niccolo Machiavelli (1469-1527) who was an  Italian diplomat, politician, historian, and political philosopher.

The Chapter 5 of the book is "Conquered Free States, with their own laws and orders"

Option 1 might or might not be a cause-and-effect structure. It might not necessarily be cause-and-effect structure. Two events happening one after and other does not show that the first one is the cause and the second one effect. But, it is also true that in cause-and-effect structure one event (result) happens followed by another event.

Option 3 is correct because it clearly shows a cause-and-effect structure <u>(for this reason).</u>

Option 4 is correct because the events stated in the second sentence are the consequences (effect/result) of the situations described in the first sentence.

Option 2 is not cause-and-effect structure. "On the one hand" and "on the other hand" is used to describe two parallel and contrasting ideas. Hence, it is a contrasting structure.

Option 5 is not a cause-and-effect structure because the phrase <em>"citizen of the conquered city"</em> in no way shows the cause and effect of any situation

Read the incorrect sentence. Write three to five sentences explaining what kind of run-on sentence it is and how to revise it. M
shepuryov [24]
One way to fix that sentence is to switch around the two phrases used; 'My mother and father are both scientists' and 'It must have been my destiny to become interested in biology.'

It must have been my destiny to spark an interest in Biology, as my mother and father are both scientists.

That's a way to fix that sentence used in your question.

Also, 'destiny' was spelled incorrectly.

This sentence may seem run on if you don't place a conjunction between the two phrases, or if the phrases are not switched.

If the sentence is to be used with a conjunction, it may end up like this....

My mother and father are both scientists, so it must have been my destiny to become interested in biology.

Or, you may just use a period, to change the two phrases used into two separate sentences.

Like this;

My mother and father are both scientists. For that reason, it must have been my destiny to become interested in biology.

ALSO, as you can see above, I have added a few words to the last sentence. Those three words, 'For that reason', give closure to the two sentences.

Hope this helped!

Olin [163]

Answer:

I agree with the statement.

Explanation:

An erudite is someone of great knowledge.

If Ichabod has been recorded to have read several books, then for sure it has increased his knowledge bank, making him more learned in different things so he is a man of great erudition.

Books contain a whole lot of information in them that an avid reader will read and become more knowledge.
