Answer:

What the speaker means in these lines is that reading goes beyond knowing how to read .

Explanation:

In the Poem <em>Blind </em>by Fatima Naoot, what the author means in these lines is that the important thing in a reading is not the fact of knowing how to read, but of knowing how to interpret.

And that it doesn't matter if she is blind, she has to see beyond the retina to be able to get out of "earthlylife", that is, to go beyond.

Even in a few lines later the author says <em>"Reading does not require eyes"</em> and refers precisely to those previous lines, <u>because to read correctly you have to know how to make an interpretation, not just pronounce the words that are written in a text. </u>

Adjust the percentage of Chris investments to make his portfolio one with potential for high growth
Leni [432]

Answer:

Deducting some percentage of amount from savings and investing them in bonds will give higher rates.

Explanation:

It is believed that bond is better than savings. Stocks and bonds together are as good as mutual funds and saving accounts together. So, Chris should increase the investment in Stock and deduct that amount from mutual. Also, he can deduct some amount form savings and invest in bonds. This would give him higher interest rates.

In a nutshell, there is some amount in mutual and some amount in savings, which would be beneficial in case there is any loss in stock and bonds.

Based on the excerpt, what is the speaker’s perspective on the riot? The speaker thinks that the riot was a mistake. The speaker
Daniel [21]

I believe the missing excerpt is from Midsummer by Derek Walcott, which is as follows:

 

With the stampeding hiss and scurry of green lemmings, 
midsummer's leaves race to extinction like the roar
of a Brixton riot tunneled by water hoses;
they seethe toward autumn's fire—it is in their nature,
being men as well as leaves, to die for the sun.

 

So, based on the excerpt, the speaker thinks that the riot was somewhat inevitable.

 

To add, Midsummer is a sequence of 54 lyrics that record one year's passing in the poet's life from summer to summer.

Decide if the underlined part of each sentence is an absolute phrase, an appositive phrase, a restrictive clause, or a nonrestri
Zepler [3.9K]

The answer to the question above is the following one:

a) The concert that I attended was held last August.

A is a restrictive clause because it modifies the noun it precedes. It provides essential information as regards the sentence. If it was dropped, the sentence would not have the same meaning.

b) The audience moved as one, the crowd swaying the music.

B is an absolute phrase. Absolute phrases are phrases that modify a noun in a sentence but they are not connected to the sentence by a conjunction.  They are set off with a comma and can be deleted from the sentence without altering its meaning.

c) The  concert, which had been rescheduled, was sold out.

C is nonrestrictive clause. It provides information which is considered nonessential. Therefore, it can be erased without altering the meaning of the sentence.

d) The band, a hometown favorite, came back for serveral encores

D is an appositive phrase. An appositive is a noun or a noun phrase that renames another noun right beside it. They are set off with commas.
