7) C) persona

In this poem, Shakespeare discusses what it is like to grow old and be near death. He characterizes old age as "autumn" and "twilight." Both of these represent the conclusion of something, and a natural decay. Although the poem mostly discusses these two topics, towards the end he introduces the topic of love, and discusses how sad it is to lose someone you love due to old age. He also compares youth to a fire which burns bright inside a person, but which ultimately dies out.

How does the last sentence refine the author's claim in the passage?

Dimas [21]

The last sentence of the text restates all of the author's statements, because it shows how the new materials were used in the design of the spacesuit.

We can see this, because the main subject of the text is the importance of the spacesuit for astronauts, as this costume should be able to protect the astronauts and allow them to move properly to carry out the work they must do in a environment as different as outer space.

The last sentence of the text refines this information, as it shows how the layers added in the new spacesuit were used to allow astronauts to work safely and efficiently.

How does this excerpt relate to what you already know about the number of casualties of world war 1

max2010maxim [7]

It is known that the figures related to casualties in WWI are not completely precise. Statistics vary to a great extent; with numbers that go from 9 million to over 15 million total deaths. These numbers include combat related deaths, accidents, disease and imprisonment related deaths, as well as civilian deaths.

In the excerpt, the narrator gives a real life picture of what war is, how the deceased are not just bodies but human beings: "above such shattered bodies there are still human faces in which life goes its daily roun". He/she questions people's ability to put such slaughter into numbers, as if deaths were no more than that. Thus, this idea becomes clear when the narrator puts the controversy of such act into words: "how senseless is everything that can ever be written, done, or thought when such things are possible".

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

It was a rainy day but, Joan and I had planned a trip. Joan wanted to go to the beach for a swim. I wasn't sure if we should go.

"I think we should wait a little longer, at least until the rain shows some signs of slowing down," I suggested.

"We can't swim without getting wet anyway," replied Joan, questioning my choice of swimsuit, the one my mom had bought at a secondhand store.

Explanation:

The best option to complete the parts where punctuation is missing is a comma.

1. It was a rainy day, but Joan and I had... --> commas are placed before the conjunction joining two independent clauses, as is the case here.

2. "I think we should wait a little longer, at least until... --> this type of usage is commonly justified as avoiding confusion. The way we read the sentence without the comma changes, and can cause confusion.

3. questioning my choice of swimsuit, the one my mom had bought... --> commas are used before phrases or clauses that somehow offer an explanation or further information about something previously mentioned. In this case, the speaker is offering further information about the swimsuit.

Note: For case 3, I believe a dash is also an option, since it can come before an explanation or further information as well. Still, a comma is usually preferred.
