Answer:
Timpani, the large drums featured in orchestras, originated more than 2000 years ago in ancient empires.
Explanation:
This is one way to add the description after the noun. It's called an "appositive phrase" Timpani=drums So there are two nouns in a row that refer to the same thing.
Another way:
Timpani, which are large drums featured in orchestras, originated more than 2000 years ago in ancient empires.
That's a relative clause. It substitutes the relative pronoun, 'which' for timpani, and keeps the verb, 'are.'
The excerpt from Chapter 28 of Moby Di-ck which best develops the theme of the novel concerning man’s insistence on manufacturing his own destruction is:
B. And not only that, but moody stricken Ahab stood before them with a crucifixion in his face; in all the nameless regal overbearing dignity of some mighty woe.
One of the important theme in the novel “Moby Di-ck” is about the relationship between nature and man. The novel is about a man, Ahab, who goes out in the natural world to disturb the balance of nature by killing the animals. Though at the end of the novel, it is the nature who remains unchanged and the man has to witness a failure. Ahab had a strong belief in the fate because of which he thinks that it is in his destiny to slay down the whale. The desire for revenge exists stands secondary for him. He combines his egoism with the feeling of revenge and moves on to destroy the whale. He ignores the prophecies about the destruction that will cause to his ship and himself if he moved on. In the end, he falls prey to his own destruction causing his identity to extinct.
