Answer:

  • I felt, moreover, that I had been faithful—that I was guilty of no wrong whatever, and deserved commendation rather than punishment.

Explanation:

Twelve Years a Slave is the memoir of Solomon Northup, a free dark man who was grabbed and sold into subjection. Distributed in 1853, that year in which he was freed, it covers his twelve years in slavery.  

Northup describes his life starting in New York, building up his inception and his status as a liberated individual dwelling in the North with his family. He at that point shares the subtleties encompassing his capturing and encounters inside the slave advertise, and the ensuing long stretches of bondage and subjugation he suffers until he steps onto free soil again twelve years after the fact. Through his account of situation, Northup depicts the day by day interactions between him, different slaves, and the different bosses he works under, just as explicit and broad learning of farming practices and southern traditions – revealing more insight into servitude than any course reading can.

Which revision best corrects the vague pronoun in the sentence below?
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

c) Jack will not understand the club’s decision unless he talks to Christopher.

Explanation:

A vague pronoun is a pronoun that does not clearly indicate which antecedent (or noun) it is referring to. All options, except option C, have a vague pronoun because in these sentences it is not clear whether “he” (the pronoun) is referring to the antecedent “Jack” or “Christopher.”

Option C, on the other hand, is the one that corrects the vague pronoun because it clearly states that the pronoun “he” refers to “Jack” only.

Which is one characteristic of iambic pentameter, which is used in "Sonnet 29”?
tiny-mole [99]
In iambic pentameter, each verse consists of five metrical feet. Meter is a poem's rhythm, and feet are units of that rhythm.

In an iamb, an unstressed syllable is followed by a stressed syllable, as in the word "hello."

"Penta" means five, so a verse of iambic pentameter has five iambs. Five pairs of unstressed syllables followed by stressed syllables.

Five pairs gives a total of ten syllables. So the answer is B, "each line contains ten syllables."
