Drag each tile to the correct box.

Tema [17]

This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question, with the underline words.

Match the underlined word in each verse to its meaning in the context of the poem.

the rhythm of a piece of poetry or music

a silly or foolish person

meaning, weight, or significance

reward

a small stream

1. "In which the burthen of the mystery, / In which the heavy and the weary weight of all this unintelligible world, / Is lightened:" (from "Tintern Abbey" by William Wordsworth)

2. "Faint I, nor mourn nor murmur, other gifts / Have followed; for such

loss, I would believe, / Abundant recompence" (from "Tintern Abbey" by William Wordsworth)

3. "Hold offl unhand me, grey-beard loon!" (from "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge)

4. "nor yet beside the rill, Nor up the lawn, nor at the wood was he;" (from "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard" by Thomas Gray)

5. "Where was heard the mingled measure. From the fountain and the caves." (from "Kubla Khan" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge)

Answer:

burthen - meaning, weight, or significance

recompence - reward

loon - a silly of foolish person

rill - a small stream

measure - the rhythm of a piece of poetry or music

Explanation:

When we read the word burthen, we notice it looks and sounds similar to "burden". That's because burthen is an archaic spelling of "burden". A burden refers to something heavy, difficult to carry around. Thus, burthen means "weight"

Recompence, nowadays more commonly spelled "recompense", is a synonym for reward.

Add an extra -y to loon, and you'll get loony. That can help you guess what it means, even if not precisely: a silly, foolish person, someone who does not see things in an ordinary manner.

Even though it is not a usual word, rill is the same as a small stream or brook.

Last but not least, measure refers to the rhythm of a poem or a piece of music. Just like the words above, it is not commonly used nowadays. We tend to use the words "beat" or "rhythm" in this case.

Read the sentence.

NNADVOKAT [17]

The correct answer is A. The squirrel, who ran in circles around the circumference of the tree, chattered angrily at the curious cat.

Explanation:

This sentence is a complex one, which means it is composed by an independent clause, which is a sentence that express a complete idea and a dependent clause, which is a type of sentence that provides extra information linked to a independent clause and depends on it to be complete, as dependent clauses are just extra information and can be omitted they are always marked by commas (,) or similar punctuation marks. In this case, the main sentence is "The squirrel chattered angrily at the curious cat" as it expresses the main idea, on the other hand "who ran in circles around the circumference of the three" is just extra information (dependent clause) and thus should be between commas. Thus, A is the correct revision as this sentence contains a dependent clause that according to grammar should be between commas.

luca wants to add one more sentence to the end of the rebuttal so he can fully address the counterclaim .witch would be the best

Elena L [17]

This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.

Read the counterclaim to the claim that funding for the space program is important.

While the idea of exploring space is indeed inspiring, critics argue that it's not financially responsible. They say there are more important things to focus on here on Earth, such as helping people to find jobs and improving their quality of life.

Now read the rebuttal.

With all the problems facing people today, it is understandable that some critics might think that exploring space is foolish and wasteful. But the space industry creates jobs and stimulates the economy.

Luca wants to add one more sentence to the end of the rebuttal so he can fully address the counterclaim. Which would be the best addition to rebuttal?

In addition, thinking about space exploration makes people feel hopeful and inspired.

But, some lawmakers are challenging the space agency’s request for a $17.7 billion budget.

In addition, nine of the twenty-five top scientific breakthroughs in the last twenty-five years came from space exploration.

Therefore, it is up to the space industry to make its critics understand how useful space exploration is.

Answer: In addition, nine of the twenty-five top scientific breakthroughs in the last twenty-five years came from space exploration.

Explanation:

The counterclaim focuses on the financial side of funding space programs. Luca has already established the financial benefits of the space industry generating employment for those who need it, therefore stimulating the economy.

A sentence focused on the inspirational side of space exploration would not address the main point of the counterclaim, nor it would be adding data about the amount of the budget or leaving it to the space industry to solve the issue.

Adding information about further economical benefits, such as the scientific breakthroughs that were achieved thanks to space exploration, would be the best sentence to end the rebuttal.
