D. To provide the reader with concrete details or information.

Allusion is a technique where expressions that have an indirect or passing reference is used to provide more meaning. The ideas are called to mind without being explicit. Authors use allusions to prompt deeper understanding by relating ideas.

Consider the following sentence: "That chick wears a lot of bling." In one hundred words or less, discuss whether this sentence
ozzi
This sentence gives an overall negative connotation because you're using a derivative means of describing the woman and he jewelry along with saying that the amount she is wearing is "a lot" more than what you would expect. It conjures up an image of a street adult woman with gold jewelry and thug-like clothing. It would not be an appropriate way to describe your grandmother given the age gap in both vocabulary and the overall negative connotation of the sentence.

Read this excerpt from "Crossing the Bar" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Which two lines are examples of a dependent clause?
barxatty [35]

Answer:

The correct answer is B)

Explanation:

A) First, a clause is an incomplete sentence or a group of words that can't stand alone or one that does not have meaning standing by itself.

B) Furthermore, it must have a verb and a subject.

A verb, if you recall is an action word while a subject is "<em>the person or thing being referred to</em>".

Looking at the clauses in option B we can see that they both meet the above conditions.  

Let's see clause one - "<em>And may there be no </em><u><em>moaning</em></u><em> of t</em><u><em>he bar</em></u><em>, "</em>

It is clear that the verb here is "moaning" while the subject is "the Bar".

It's clear to see that these group of words meet the conditions given in A and B above because left by themselves, they make no meaning.

Let's take a look at the second clause:

"<em>When I put out to sea</em>,"

"I" here is the subject. It is a pronoun. A pronoun is simply a word that can be used instead of the noun. That is a noun can easily but inserted in the place of "I". Hence, we have "I" as the subject.

"<em>Put Out</em>"  here is a verb which means to relocate.

So "When I put out to sea"  also meets the conditions in A and B above.

Cheers!
