If "Opening the gate" is underlined, it is a phrase. "Opening" is just a present participle that describes an action happening at the same time with another action (opening happens at the same time as letting the dog). It doesn't function as a noun, so it is not a gerund. It doesn't form a predicate, so it can't be a clause or a sentence either.

sedaris uses both understatement and hyperbole in this essay. Identify two examples of each and explain the effect
Korvikt [17]
The hyperbole “the size of tombstones”. The author uses the hyperbole to define the extent of Anna's teeth. It’s clear the character does not have teeth in her mouth as big as tombstones or else the character would not be eager to speak. The effect of wit is shaped through Sedaris's use of the hyperbole. Also, it makes an improved description of the scene so that the person who reads can make a better visual.   
The hyperbole "Every day spent with you is like having a cesarean section."The result is this is where David Sedaris for the primary time meanwhile being in France he could comprehend every word that anybody was saying.

Identify the themes that are at work in Sylvia Plath’s “Mirror.” Select all that apply.
nadezda [96]

The themes that are at work in Sylvia Plath's "Mirror" are truth and dishonesty and the waning of beauty over time.

"Mirror" is a short poem written by Plath in 1961, a time in her life when she dreaded the idea of getting old. The poem reflects this fear and her emotional state.

There is a line in the poem that says "I am not cruel, only truthful". What she means is that<u> the mirror never lies and, as "a little god", it is capable of see it all.</u> In this sense,<u> the mirror is omniscient, as opposed to the "liars": the candles and the moon.</u> Furthermore, there is a line in the poem that says "Faces and darkness separate us over and over" where <u>she refers to the passing of time and how fast a young girl can become an old woman</u>. Over the course of the poem, there are several lines that reflect the fear of growing old and the fading of beauty.

Which of the following topics would be suitable for a short research paper?
Margaret [11]

An in depth study of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein would not be a short research paper. Ideally you would have to have a more specific research question/focus on one aspect of the novel. An in depth study is too broad.

An analysis of protagonists in Jane Austen's works once again would not be a short research paper, if it was limited to one or two of her books then yes but not all of them.

A comparison of Homers Illiad and Odyssey once again is too broad a topic and if you were to compare everything in both novels you would be looking at a rather lengthy research paper.

Moby D*ck is full of symbolism and if you could find a way to summarize effectively and succinctly the story and maybe just focus on the actual whale as the subject matter and what it represents in the book you could definitely make a good relatively short research paper out of it.  

Alternatively would be an analysis of Edgar Allan Poe's narrative style in The Black Cat. The Black Cat is a short story and ideal for this type of research paper.
