Decide if the underlined part of each sentence is an absolute phrase, an appositive phrase, a restrictive clause, or a nonrestri
Zepler [3.9K]

The answer to the question above is the following one:

a) The concert that I attended was held last August.

A is a restrictive clause because it modifies the noun it precedes. It provides essential information as regards the sentence. If it was dropped, the sentence would not have the same meaning.

b) The audience moved as one, the crowd swaying the music.

B is an absolute phrase. Absolute phrases are phrases that modify a noun in a sentence but they are not connected to the sentence by a conjunction.  They are set off with a comma and can be deleted from the sentence without altering its meaning.

c) The  concert, which had been rescheduled, was sold out.

C is nonrestrictive clause. It provides information which is considered nonessential. Therefore, it can be erased without altering the meaning of the sentence.

d) The band, a hometown favorite, came back for serveral encores

D is an appositive phrase. An appositive is a noun or a noun phrase that renames another noun right beside it. They are set off with commas.

Identify examples of the following rhetorical strategies in paragraph 13, and explain their effect___________.
ANEK [815]

Answer:

The answers are explained below. Paragraph 13 isn't available.

Explanation:

A rhetorical question is a question asked to create a dramatic effect or to make a point rather than to get an answer, for example <em>Is the pope Catholic? </em>or <em>Can fish swim?</em>

Sentence variety refers to varying the length and structure of sentences in a composition to avoid monotony. Pacing is a stylistic device that shows how fast a story unfolds. Both can help the writer add emphasis to a specific part of the composition.

An analogy is a type of comparison between two things, usually to explain something, i.e. "as light as a feather."

An allusion is an expression to call something to mind, but it is not mentioned explicitly, for example, <em>Don't be a Romeo</em>, in reference to Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet."

An imperative sentence gives instructions or advice and expresses a suggestion, command, order, or direction. For example <em>Don't do that!</em>
