Option 2: A Before passing out the test, the teacher asked students to close their books.

<u>Before passing out the test</u> is the prepositional phrase.

A prepositional phrase has the following basic characteristics: usually begins with a preposition and ends with a noun, pronoun or gerund, functions as a unified part of speech, doesn't have a verb nor a subject.

Before is a preposition

Passing out the test is a gerund, which means that it acts as a noun in the sentence, and at the same time is the "object" of the proposition.

The whole phrase is a unified part of speech and doesn't have any verb nor subject.

Lines 9-12 compare the "ashes of youth" to _____. a deathbed twilight fire youth
maw [93]

Answer:

Compares the "ashes of youth" to a "youth"

Explanation:

In these lines, the author tends to compare himself to the glowing remnants of a fire, which lie on the ashes that once let it burn; it will be extinguished as it sinks. It reveals that the youthful life is gone as ashes which happens to bring one on the deathbed. Therefore, it's comparing the life of a youth as ashes of youth which is gone as one on their deathbed which means inevitable death.

This is from Sonnet 73 by William Shakespeare.

Does Samuel Sewall appeal more to logic or to emotion in "The Selling of Joseph: A Memorial"? Back up your response with evidenc
schepotkina [342]

It has logic and emotion, but mostly logic.  His logic is very clear that if you follow the bible you shouldn't condemned slavery and killings of hundred of people. When practicing the bible and being christians one has to act like christ and follow the teachings of him and the bible.  They cannot prove Joseph's enslavement as wrong, but still enslave people who were like Joseph. In it Sewall not only condemns the practice of human trafficking, but goes on to challenge many common slave owners held  the practice of enslavement and yet still be followers of God. He uses Joseph as example to bring light to what they are doing wrong. Sewall also cites several Biblical passages which Sewall uses to make a of the practice of man stealing. Using logic is very clear in his writing about people just choosing to ignore themselves on being a hypocrite and make them question their own strong held belief.
