In Phillis Wheatley's poem “Imagination” In his poem, he discusses throughout the Greek mythology about the various gods and seasons. The meter pattern in these lines is iambic pentameter.

Iambic pentameter is a type of meter pattern which contains the number of syllables and emphasis on the same, in a line of verse. It consists of the short syllable followed by the long or stressed syllable. Great examples of the iambic pentameter are the works of Shakespeare.

The characters name means fortunate, but the events. in the story show that he isn't fortunate, because he gets sealed behind a concrete wall, so sadly he isn't fortunate even though that's what his name means.

Her review of the play revealed her clever _____ when the drama critic simply stated, “If you don’t knit, bring a book.”
diamong [38]

Answer:

When somebody uses knowledge to apply to useful ideas  quickly, we say that person is clever;  now when that clever person is able to associate words and ideas gracefully in a way that conveys confidence, understanding and even humor, we say that person is witty, or has wit.

That statement was funny and mindful, thereby:

<em>"Her review of the play revealed her clever </em><em>wit</em><em>"</em>

Leya [2.2K]

Rukmani's life is filled with struggle, yet she remains resolutely optimistic about her future. Married off to a poor rice farmer at the age of 12, Rukmani struggles through loneliness, infertility, starvation, and great loss with persevering optimism. The novel's title, Nectar in a Sieve, refers to nectar, a sweet liquid, and a sieve, a device with meshes that allows liquid to pass through while trapping solids in the device. The title suggests Rukmani's ability to appreciate the short, sweet moments in life before they disappear. During the Deepavali celebration in Chapter 10, for example, Rukmani's family struggles to eat, yet she doles out precious pennies for the children to buy fireworks because "it is only once ... a memory." Similarly, at the end of the novel when she and Nathan have been saving to return to the village, she feels overcome with happiness while at the market with Puli. She buys fried pancakes instead of plain rice cakes and wooden toys for the children: "Well, if we are extravagant it is only once." No matter what suffering comes Rukmani's way, she maintains optimism that life can only get better. She tells Kenny, "Want is our companion from birth to death." Rather than wallow in what's lacking, Rukmani always chooses to look ahead: to the next meal, the next year, or the next harvest.

7. (LF 3.37) Modern Greek is an Indo-European language spoken in Greece. Examine the sounds [ x ], [ k ], [ ç ], and [ c ] in th
Galina-37 [17]

Contrastive distribution occurs when  two sounds placed in the same context produce different meanings.  This is the case in the sounds [k] and [x] . For example: <em>[kano] 'do' versus [xano] 'lose'. </em>

The same happens with the sounds [ç] and [c]. They are in constrastive distribution as in shown in the following example: <em>[çino] 'pour' versus [cino] 'move </em>

In complementary distribution, where one sound occurs the other cannot.  This is the case in  the sounds [k] and [c] The first sound  (palatal stop) appears before front vowels whereas the second sound (velar stop) appears elsewhere.

The sounds [ç] and [x] are also in complementary distribution. As in the previous example, the palatal appears before front vowels and the velar appears elsewhere
