b. listen with empathy
The key characteristic for one listening with empathy is to give the speaker your undivided attention. Because Jeff fell asleep, he obviously had not been providing this. Further, when one is empathetic, one is able to understand the position/place of someone else. Obviously, if Jeff were speaking, he would want his audience to pay attention, so he should have recognized this and been conscious of that for Elizabeth. By Jeff falling asleep, he does not understand the perspective of someone else in order to recognize how to respectfully listen (or listen with empathy).
Answer: In part two of Trifles, the symbol of the broken birdcage best supports the theme that women <u>often endure unjust acts in male-dominated societies.</u>
Explanation: The finding of the broken cage and the dead bird lets the women in the play deduce that Minnie's husband had broken the cage door in order to kill the bird. Thus, the signs of violence in the broken cage are a reflection of the oppressive act that this woman suffered from her husband.
In the narrative <em>"Does My Head Look Big in This?"</em> by Randa Abdel-Fattah, the narrative tone reveals a unique perspective: The narrator’s frustration helps readers understand what it is like to be a teenager.
In the story, the narrator, Amal, who decides to wear the hijab full-time, clearly states how frustrated she feels with society's expectation. Phrases like <em>"I'm </em><em>sick of obsessing</em><em> about my body, what guys are going to think about my cleavage and calves and shoulder-to-hip ratio"</em> and <em>"I am really </em><em>sick of worrying</em><em> what people are going to think if I put on a few pounds or have a pimple." </em>are clear examples of the stress teenager go through in highschool, specially girls (and even more so if they have different traditions from the other girls, like Amal with her hijab.)
The words chosen to create meaningful dependent clauses are the following ones:
a) Although Marissa likes to bake, she doesn't like to cook (this conjunction is used to make the main statement in a sentence seem surprising)
b) I have an idea that I think you will like (the complementizer introduces the noun-complement clause attached to the noun "idea")
c) If we drive slowly, we will find it (the conjunction used to introduce a conditional clause)
d) French, which we also had last year, is my hardest subject (a relative pronoun, which in this case, introduces a non-essential relative clause)
