Answer:

The correct combination of the sentences is Some dogs play fetch but, others would rather nap.

Explanation:

From the question above asking the best combination of the sentences, using the conjunction "but" is the best way to link the two clauses.

The first sentence, "Some dogs play fetch" is an independent clause.

The second sentence "Others would rather nap" is a dependent/subordinate clause.

The best way to join an independent and subordinate clause is by using the conjunction "but".

lara31 [8.8K]

John F. Kennedy’s Inaugural Address contains many rhetorical features.  Parallel structure is a technique which entail a repetition of some words or pattern of words. This stylistic device not only offers a more pleasant speech but also makes the speech easy to understand and get the main idea.  

Example:” "Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall <u>pay any price</u>, <u>bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty</u>.” In this particular excerpt, there is the repetition of grammatical structure: Verb + any+ object.

In his speech, there are other rhetorical devices. In the following example it is possible to recognize the use of Metaphor and Alliteration. Metaphor is a figure of speech that is used to describe someone, something or an idea using certain words whose meaning must not be taken literally. It helps to deliver a message in a clear and convincing manner. Alliteration enhances greatly the amusement of the speech as it consists of a lively repetition of the initial sound of words in a passage and It helps to convey meaning in a creative, effective and appealing manner. Besides, it provides rhythm to the text .

Example: “Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that t<u>he torch has been passed</u> to a new generation of Americans, born in this century,”  

This sentence gives the idea that a new era and a new movement towards a better future in America (metaphor) and  there is the repetition of the "f" sound (alliteration)

What primary element do “Young Goodman Brown” and “A Pair of Silk Stockings” share?
taurus [48]

I would argue that both short stories present characters (Goodman Brown and Mrs. Sommers, respectively) that are weary of their current lives and, ideally, would like to be able to escape. Goodman Brown is losing his faith in his wife, his community and his religion, and Mrs. Sommers would prefer to focus on her and on her needs rather than on her children.
