the cat nipped carelessly at the cord

Alliteration is a figure of speech consisting of the repetition of sounds of the same or similar consonants. It usually occurs, at the beginning of the words, that make up verses or phrases, but may also be in the middle or the end. It is essentially based on the sonority that comes from these letters thus positioned. It is a linguistic alternative used as a strategy to intensify the rhythm and produce a sound effect that emphasizes the text. It is the feature that makes a consonant sound repeat.

Read the excerpt from Part 2 of The Odyssey by Homer. We would entreat you, great Sir, have a care for the gods' courtesy; Zeus
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

This excerpt proves that Odysseus causes his crew's demise:

D. by revealing his ignorant assumptions.

Explanation:

The excerpt we are analyzing here belongs to the epic poem The Odyssey. The hero of the story, Odysseus, is talking to a Cyclops, but his ignorant assumptions about the Cyclops's kind leads to his crew's demise.<u> Odysseus assumes the Cyclopes, just like humans, fear and respect the gods. That's why he appeals to that notion when he says, "Zeus will avenge the unoffending guest." However, to his sad surprise, the Cyclops is immediately angered by those words, revealing he could not care less about the gods. The Cyclopes are clearly an arrogant kind, believing they "have more force by far." Since Odysseus did not know that, his words cause a tragedy.</u>

Either you or Miguel ______ leading the group.<br> A: are<br> B: is
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Either you or Miguel is leading the group.

Explanation:

When using compound conjunctions - either... or and neither... nor - we tend to feel like using a plural verb, which may be incorrect. Most of the time, the right way to conjugate a verb in sentences with compound conjunctions is in the singular.

<u>Something else that can be confusing in the sentence we are analyzing here is the fact that "either" is followed by "you". As we know, the right verb form for "you" is "are". However, even in this case, we should go with the form "is" because "Miguel" is the closest noun to the verb. Therefore, the correct answer is</u>:

Either you or Miguel is leading the group.
