What is your impression of Churchill's sentence? Does it seem correct or incorrect? Does it sound like a good sentence or not? W

hat might you change to improve it and why?

Answer:

the one the question is refering to.

The writing 'rule' (myth) Churchill's reply satirizes is the 'Never end a sentence on a preposition' rule (i.g. as I intetionally did on the immediate sentence before this one). And his reply to it was something like 'This is the type of errant pedantry up with which I will not put.'

The 'rule' is a myth, yes, but of course what Churchill did was an exaggeration to sneeringly point out the ignorance of those who criticized him.

His sentence therefore was incorrect. One possible change to improve it could be: 'This is the type of errant pedantry which I will not put up with.'

Specially the 'up' and 'with' of 'put up with' could never go in the middle of a sentence, as 'put up with' is a phrasal verb, meaning the verb and the preposition must always be together in the correct order.

I was able to find some possible variations of what his sentence could have actually had been, but in none of them the 'up with' goes along with 'put', so either ways we can assume that his sentence was deliberately wrong.

Answer:

1. Three

2. Aabb

3. Fixed form

Explanation:

Think of the excerpt they gave us as paragraphs instead of stanzas . There are three large chunks in the passage which would make it three stanzas . The rhyme scheme would be aabb because of its constant rhyming through each line . And the poetic structure the author uses is fixed form due to how he interprets his poem in a mannerly structure .

Which line is an example of a subjective opinion? It seems that Kahlo’s parents did not care about their daughter. Frida Kahlo’s
Volgvan
<span>The answer to the question is, "It seems that Kahlo's parents did not care about their daughter." This statement is asserting a subjective opinion that is open to interpretation depending on the overall emotion of the reader and author. The other statements, "Frida Kahlo's parents did not visit her in the hospital. The Kahlo family struggled with poverty and other issues. Matita, Frida's sister, came frequently to help at the hospital," are just asserting facts, not opinions.</span>

Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone by James Cross Giblin.
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Through Akerblad’s actions, Giblin shows him as someone whose confidence eventually stood in the way of his success.

Explanation:

James Cross Giblin's work <em>The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone</em> is a historical work on the deciphered work of the Rosetta Stone that was discovered in Memphis. This historical stone laid the foundation for the understanding of the Egyptian language and scripts.

The given passage talks about Johan Akerblad, a Swedish student studying under Silvestre de Sacy. The passage details how his previous successes led him to make a mistake while deciphering the Stone. Through his actions, Giblin presents him as someone whose confidence in always succeeding led him to be adamant, thus obstructing him in the way of successfully deciphering the hieroglyphic. He made a mistake in claiming that the demotic hieroglyphic is alphabetic, leading to <em>"no further progress in deciphering the demotic passage on the Stone". </em>
