Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

C. Revising a poem’s ideas and words

Explanation:

This question refers to Mackenzie Connellee's poem "Invitation".

There, the author counters the claim that writing poetry is easy work and gives some examples of the creative process.

In the mentioned lines, the author makes a metaphor about poetry "slopping lazily over the couch of a page" while the author has to "remove its muddy shoes and rearrange the pillows". That means that it takes some hard work and long road from the idea and raw material to the finished poem.

Identify the part of speech of the italicized word in each sentence. Sheila’s mother can drive us to the mall. That song is stuc
Yuki888 [10]

Sheila’s(adj) mother(n) can(v) drive(v) us(pn) to(prep) the(adj) mall(n).

That(adj) song(n) is(v) stuck(adj) in(prep) my(adj) head(n).

The(adj) teacher(n) handed(v) the(adj) math(adj) test(n) back(adv) today(adv).

There are no words italicized in the question, so I labeled them all according to the following information.

A noun (n) is a person, place, thing or idea. Nouns are often the subject of the sentence or an object in the sentence.

A pronoun(pn) takes the place of a noun. They refer back to a noun and can show gender.

An adjective(adj) describes a noun. It is often found directly in front of a noun. The, a, an are all considered adjectives, and have their own subcategory of adjectives, so they can also be called articles.

A verb (v) is an action or state of being word. Action verbs are easy to identify as they are things that you can do. State of being verbs connect the subject to its description.

An adverb (adv) describes verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They can answer the question: when? where? how? how often?

A preposition (prep) is a word that tells where one noun is in relation to another noun. A preposition is always followed by a noun.
