heaven and draped a swathe into the ocean beyond. Turner could almost feel the globe sliding under his feet. Lizzie felt it, too and she reached out and took his hand for a moment – as if for balance – and then dropped it.

In the art of Engraving How this organizational shift affect the passage
Whitepunk [10]

Answer and Explanation:

Engraving is the practicing to engrave a design onto a hard surface and a flat surface could also be used to cut grooves with a burin. When silver, gold, steel, or glass are engraved, or may be provided with an intaglio printing plate, of copper or another metal, for printing images on paper as prints or illustrations and these images are also called "engravings". In printmaking engraving is considered to be the old and most important technique.

After the beginning of the 1st Millennium B.C, engraving on metal that could be carried out in the shallow grooves which are found in some jewelry. Through casting, lost wax, and chasing the old designs were being imprinted. But after sometime engraving tended to lose ground to etching, which was an easier technique compared to engraving. In the nineteenth century, most engravings were used for commercial illustration. In the early 20th century, engravings were commonly used in newspaper and books, because it was cheap than photographic images. During the mid-20th century, hand-engraving began to take place. And the art and techniques of hand-engraving became more approachable.

What is the best way to revise the sentence? change "Abashed" to "Abashing" change "mortifying" to "mortified" change "to rewrit
bezimeni [28]

Answer: Change "mortifying" to "mortified"

Explanation:

Here is the complete question:

Read the sentence.

Abashed by the harsh criticism, the mortifying writer decided to rewrite the beginning of the book.

What is the best way to revise the sentence?

A. Change "Abashed" to "Abashing"

B. Change "mortifying" to "mortified"

C. Change "to rewrite" to "rewriting"

D. Change "beginning" to "began"

From the question, we can see that the use of tenses are incorrect. The use of "mortifying" is wrong, the past tense of mortify which is " mortified" is the right word to use.

When the -ing form is used as noun, it modifies the verb, but in this case, the past tense should have been used.

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!

Analyze how imagery contributes to the meaning and style in this excerpt from Thoreau’s book, Walden. Cite evidence from the tex
SSSSS [86.1K]
Thoreau's Walden is about nature and its superiority to the civilized world. Hence his imagery implies the authenticity and vividness of nature, as opposed to the superficial and artificial edifice of humanity and civilization. Imagery appeals to human senses, and the reader gets a feeling that the described phenomenon can be touched, heard, seen, smelled - which conveys a colorful and profound view of nature, as something that is far from mere abstraction. Nature is, in fact, a genuine part of us that we can immerse in and enjoy with the whole of our being. For example, "the wood thrush sang around, and was heard from shore to shore" is an auditory imagery - we can almost hear the thrush's song and its echoing. A visual imagery can be seen in "<span>shallow and darkened by clouds, the water, full of light and reflections" - there are nuances of colors and meanings in this passage, which imply the ever changing and ever evolving nature of the landscape, which seems to have a life of its own.</span>
