The <span>sound device used in the following excerpt from "How the Animals Lost their Tails and Got Them Back Traveling from Philadelphia to Medicine Hat" by Carl Sandburg is <u>repetition.
</u>You can see that the fragment <em>which family was </em>is repeated a several times throughout the excerpt, which is why repetition is the correct answer.<u>

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!

Should Katniss have intervened when the girl was taken by the hovercraft? Why or why no?
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Katniss should not intervene when the girl is taken. Think of it this way; if Katniss had intervened, would she have survived? Or would there have been more than one casualty? Acknowledging that the morally sound answer would be yes, we should consider the logical information that Katniss more than likely wouldn't have made it out of that situation in one piece. The capitol is very aggressive and would not hesitate to execute Katniss for rebelling.

Where did the narrator live before she moved to The house on mango street? How were her previous homes different?
sveta [45]

Answer:

She lived in Keeler and later in Loomis, the difference is that in these places the family had to pay rent and share a part of the land with other people. In Mango street they paid no rent and had more privacy, as there was no need to share any part of the house with other families.

Explanation:

"The house oif mango street" tells the story of Esperanza, who lives in a Latin community with many social, economic and structural problems that limit her, but she refuses to accept this reality and dreams of having a better life than the one the circumstances it offers, but it will have to go through many challenges, many of them focused on the culture of its own ethnic group.

Imagine you're writing an appeal to answer if students should be allowed to skip their senior year. Construct a rhetorical quest
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Students have dedicated years of their lives to studying. <u>Regardless of whether students want to pursue higher education or enter the workforce, what benefit does one extra year of studying really provide? </u>Advanced students often take classes at the community college where credits will transfer to a university in conjunction with their highschool work. Those who want to enter directly into the workforce won't learn anything in their last year of school that they will really need.

Explanation:

A rhetorical question is a question that doesn't need an answer. There are many different rhetorical questions that we could ask, but this is an example of what one may look like. Since the seniors want to skip their senior year, we need to show that it isn't really necessary.
