g thy force? Or who describe the swiftness of thy course? Soaring through air to find the bright abode, Th' empyreal palace of the thund'ring mode, We on thy pinions can surpass the wind, And leave the rolling universe behind: From star to star the mental optics rove, Measure the skies, and range the realms above. There in one view we grasp the mighty whole, Or with new worlds amaze th' unbounded soul. What does the speaker compare imagination to in the poem? A. a soaring bird B. the sky C. a cloud D. a sailing ship

What two traits does Charles Dickens point out about British society during the Industrial Revolution in this excerpt from Olive
vazorg [7]

The above excerpt from Charles Dickens’ novel “Oliver Twist” point out the following two traits of British society during the industrial revolution.

1.a lack of regard for life among the working class

3. the employment of children for hazardous tasks

Dickens novels reflect the ills of Victorian society which emerged as the byproduct of the Industrial Revolution. The drawbacks of the modern society and Industrialization were great in number. The society got divided based on class and status. The rich became richer and the poor became poorer. Child labor was encouraged especially in the factories to overcome poverty. People became self-centered and uncaring. Urbanization gave birth to an increase in the slum in the cities. Individualism increased which favored self-increment and not on the betterment of the society. Children were not allowed to imagine and live in the world of fancy. They were taught to live with logic and reason. This period saw the downfall of humanity in the history of mankind.

lbvjy [14]
An academic subject that has inspired me is the study of geology and mining. I have furthered the knowledge of these subjects in the classroom by obtaining degrees in both geology and mining engineering, in the classroom and sometimes the laboratory. Outside the classroom, I have furthered this interest by, for example working 19 years at a large producing open pit mine and seeing all kinds of geological and mining situations, which both illustrate things I learned in class and also teach me new things about these subjects.

Questions 1–5: In the following sentences, identify and label the simple predicate and simple subject. 1. The three boxers met a
Crazy boy [7]
1. The three boxers met at the gym. Simple subject is a part of the sentence which tells us who or what performs the action in a sentence. Simple predicate tells as what subject does in a sentence. I've put simple subject and simple predicate in this sentence in bold. The tree boxers is a subject, because it tells us who performed the action and tells us what the subject did.

2. <span>Amy took her dog to the veterinarian. Amy is the simple subject because it tells us who did something in the sentence without and it doesn't include any modifiers, took is the simple predicate because it tells us what Amy did and it also doesn't include any modifiers.</span>

3. <span>Luke boarded the airplane. According to the rule mentioned in the first question, Luke is the simple subject because it answers the question who performed the action and there are no modifiers; boarded is the simple predicate which answers the question what the subject did and there are no modifiers.</span>

4. <span>Rachel redecorated her dining room. Rachel is the simple subject, because it tells us who redecorated the dining room; decorated is the simple predicate because it tells us what Rachel did and there are no modifiers. 
</span>
5. <span>The lightning struck Bill’s house. The lightning is the simple subject because it answers the question what struck Bill's house; struck is the simple predicate because it answers the question what the lightning did to the Bill's house and there are no modifiers.</span>

Which statement most closely rephrases the text from Juliet from lines 518–565 of the poem? "In even balance peiséd are my life
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Hi

Sometimes, when we are faced with different emotions, we avoid them or let them overwhelm us. Ideally, maintain a perfect balance between these two poles, but obviously it is much easier said than done. Some days when we get up and it seems that our emotions bombard us to the point where we feel that we collapse, but there are other days when the most insignificant thing can make us feel like on a roller coaster full of emotions.

The most important thing in emotional balance is consciousness. We must be able to identify what emotions we are feeling, and why, in the end, this is what determines the emotional balance. It is a matter of self-awareness, since sometimes we feel emotions that we cannot explain. Understanding our emotions is the only way to keep them under control and feel in perfect balance.
