Based on the above excerpt, the description which most likely describes the significance of the story's title is:

A. People connect with their culture by continually revisiting past traditions.

In the story “Everyday Use” there are three main characters, a mother and her two daughters Maggie and Dee. Maggie has been raised in the surrounding of their culture and Dee, on the other hand, has grown up under the atmosphere of Western culture. When Dee asks her mother to give her the quilts which have been preserved, her mother disapproves of it. She thinks that in order to preserve and connect to the culture one needs to continuously revisit the past traditions.

Compare the characters of Hedda Gabler and Daisy Miller: A Study. Both are the inventions of realist writers, but which is more
Dennis_Churaev [7]

In my view Hedda Gabbler is the most morally ambiguous between the two. Allow me to compare the two characters in order to clarify my views. Hedda Gabbler is an older Norwegian housewife of upper-*Middle class who chose to marry because she was starting to grow older. Her motivations are not always clear and sometimes it seems as though she suffers some kind of mental illness. Also, the etymology of her name is quite revelatory, her name comes from " the Germanic name Hadewig, derived from the Germanic elements hadu "battle, combat" and wig "war" (https://www.behindthename.com/name/hedwig). Hedda is obviously in conflict with the patriarchal society of her time and she aims to not only be in command of her own destiny but also to control her husband. She kills herself in order to deny the power of a man over her. Even in her death she is defiant. Daisy Miller on the other hand is a very young adult and rich American who loves Europe and its ways. She is naive and innocent and her behavior is not as vindictive as the behavior of Hedda Gabbler. Daisy is in opposition to the conservative and patriarchal views of society more because of her exposition ot European cultures and less due to a conscious realization of her condition. Her name is the name of a flower and her death is also symbolic as she dies from malaria. Flowers die during winter and Daisy's winter is the disease that kills her. She is more a victim than a proto-feminist.

Question 1–4: For each sentence, identify its type (declarative, interrogative, imperative, or exclamatory).
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

The answers are:

1. Declarative sentence

2. Interrogative sentence

3. Imperative sentence

4. Exclamatory sentence

5. Compound sentence structure

6. Simple sentence structure

7. Compound sentence structure

8. Complex sentence structure

Explanation:

1. This is a declarative sentence. A declarative sentence is used to give information. The information given is that the person in question took the dog to the vet.

2. This is an interrogative sentence. Identified by a question mark, it is used to ask questions as shown in the example above.

3. This is an imperative sentence. An imperative sentence is used in issuing an order or command. As shown in the example, "come with us"

4. This is an Exclamatory sentence. Exclamatory sentence is used to convey feelings and emotion. It is usually identified by the presence of an exclamation mark.

5. Contains a compound sentence structure. A compound sentence contains two independent clauses joined by a comma, semicolon or a conjunction.

In no. 5 above "I understood why he wanted to be there" is an independent clause joined to another independent clause "I certainly couldn’t be upset at him" by the use of "and".

6. This is a simple sentence structure. A simple sentence has a subject, verb, even other parts of speech but most importantly can form a complete thought by itself. The example given expresses a complete thought.

7. This is a compound sentence.

It contains two independent clauses separated by "but".

8. This is a complex sentence. A complex sentence has a dependent and independent clause present in it. An independent clause contains a subject and verb and expresses a complete thought while a dependent clause also contains a subject and verb but doesn't express a complete thought.

The dependent clause here is "If John is able to come with us" while the independent clause is "we can probably make the trip in less than one day."

They are separated by a comma.
