Prepositions, objects, and any words used to modify the things make up a prepositional phrase. A prepositional phrase usually modifies a verb or a noun.
Adverbial and adjectival prepositional phrases are the two different types of prepositional phrases. Prepositions begin with a prepositional phrase, which finishes with a noun or pronoun.
Prepositional phrases like "in our house," "between friends," and "since the conflict" is examples.
A preposition is a word or group of terms that denote a noun or pronoun's position in relation to other sentence components (in, near, beside, or on top of) (about, after, besides, instead of, in accordance with).
Words that come before prepositional sentences are called prepositions. A prepositional phrase is a collection of words that includes the preposition, the noun or pronoun it modifies, and any modifiers of that item. The preposition "pre-positions" is an object in front of it.

which example is a good point of comparison for a compare and contrast essay?
A. the figurative language in two poems
B. THE TONE IN ONE POEM AND THE FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE OF ANOTHER
C. THE SETTING OF ONE POEM AND THE PLOT OF ANOTHER POEM
D. THE SPEAKER IN ONE POEM AND THE SIMILES IN ANOTHER POEM
Final answer:
The correct answer to distinguish fact from fiction in the passage about Mount Vesuvius is that the eruption is a fact and the story of the boy is fictional. For a compare and contrast essay, comparing the figurative language in two poems is a good point of comparison.
Explanation:
The first question relates to distinguishing fact from fiction in a given passage about Mount Vesuvius and the destruction of Pompeii. The factual element is the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, a real historical event that occurred in 79 CE and led to the burial of Pompeii under ash. The fictional aspect is the narrative of the boy and his dog, which serves as a literary device to frame the historical fact. Thus, the correct answer to this question is option D: the volcanic eruption at Mount Vesuvius is a fact; the boy telling his dog a story is fictional.
For the second question, concerning a point of comparison for a compare and contrast essay, it would be most effective to choose two similar literary elements from each poem. Therefore, the appropriate comparison is between the figurative language used in two different poems. This allows for a direct and meaningful analysis of the literary techniques used by different authors. So, the best answer is option A: the figurative language in two poems.

Which example from "A Visit of Charity" slows down the pacing of the story? 2.3.7
Hi!
In the story "A visit to charity", the line that marks the slowing down in the pace of the story is the following:
"As she walked vaguely up the steps she shifted the small pot from hand to hand; then she had to set it down and remove her mittens before she could open the heavy door."
In literature, the pace is the speed at which a story is told. In the lines above, we can see how the story is not going fast but instead, the writer takes the time to describe small actions such as the character shifting the pot from one hand to another and setting it down after.
Because the author takes ample time to describe the scenery in this scene, this is considered a slow pace.
(Close up of three cats huddled together with the text): we are crowded at the animal shelter Look at the advertisement above. In at least two sentences, describe the explicit and the implicit meanings in this advertisement. Use proper spelling and grammar.
Answer:
The explicit meaning of this advertisement is that there are too many cats and other animals in the animal shelter, and they lack space for them.
The implicit meaning is that this is not a good condition for the animals, and it arouses sympathy for them by using the picture. By eliciting an emotional response from you, it prompts you to adopt at least one of the cats.
The word "specimen" has the Latin root spec which means "to look or see." Based on this information, which phrase is the best meaning for the underlined word in the paragraph? During the game, a spectator reached over the wall and snatched the ball headed for the outfielder's mitt. The ump ruled it a foul. The spectator's action did not make the players very happy. A. a person who sells things B. one who watches C. one who catches D.
The word 'spectator' refers to 'B. one who watches' at a sports event, based on its Latin root 'spec', which means 'to look or see'.
Explanation:Based on the Latin root spec, which means "to look or see," the best meaning for the underlined word spectator in the paragraph would be B. one who watches. A spectator at a sports event is someone who is in the stands to observe the game, cheering and providing encouragement to the athletes. This person does not participate in the game directly but is an essential part of the event by watching and reacting to the play. The action of the spectator in the provided paragraph confirms this as they reached out to catch the ball, which is an interaction spectators have with the game, even though they are not catching as part of the gameplay.

What are some good, modern-day topics for a rhetorical analysis? I need to write a 6-page paper and can't come up with any ideas! I'm supposed to be analyzing someone else's argument, not making my own (for those of you who are not sure what a rhetorical analysis is)
Final answer:
Selecting a contemporary and engaging topic for a rhetorical analysis involves focusing on works that significantly influence public opinion or represent major social, political, or technological issues, and examining the author's persuasive techniques.
Explanation:
Finding a topic for a rhetorical analysis paper can be challenging, but considering current events and influential writings can provide a wealth of material. Start by identifying works that have had a significant impact on public opinion, such as influential speeches, landmark Supreme Court decisions, or powerful opinion pieces on climate change, social justice issues, or technological advancements. Consider analyzing the strategies used by the author to persuade their audience, including their use of ethos, pathos, and logos. Additionally, analyzing a popular advertisement campaign or a Presidential address could offer intriguing insights into modern rhetorical techniques.
Remember, a successful rhetorical analysis will not just summarize the work but will delve deep into the effectiveness of the author's arguments, the intended audience, and the overall impact of the piece. Through this process, you will become not just a reader, but a detective, uncovering the intricate methods used to persuade and influence public discourse.

The best revision of the sentence is 'Finally, a woman from the shelter came to our house to see if it was a safe environment for kittens.' This is due to the introduction of a 'doer' and an 'action', along with a better transitional word.
Explanation:The best revision of sentence 4 would be "Finally, a woman from the shelter came to our house to see if it was a safe environment for kittens." This revision allows for an improved flow of the narrative and better coherence in the sequence of events. It introduces a 'doer', the woman from the shelter, who performs an 'action', checking if the house is a safe environment for kittens. Remember, rigorous sentence revision, such as adding a doer or an action, can improve readability, as in this case where the stronger transitional word 'Finally' replaces 'After that'.
It is also important to be aware of construction or style errors such as overuse of the 'It is.../There is...' pattern which can obscure the 'doer' and the 'action', leading to a dull narrative for the reader.
Omission of needless words is often crucial in sentence revising as it enhances readability and precision. However, this should be carried out without compromising the original meaning or context of the sentence.

Final answer:
Characterization is the method by which an author makes statements about a character, describing their distinct qualities and traits either directly or indirectly through their actions, dialogue, and interactions.
Explanation:
When an author makes a statement about a character, it is known as characterization. This is a technique used by writers to present and detail the qualities, traits, and complexities of a character within the narrative. Characterization can be direct, where the author tells the reader what the character is like, or indirect, where character traits are revealed through the character's actions, words, thoughts, and interactions with other characters. Authors use characterization to bring characters to life and to help convey their intended messages and themes.
For example, an author may directly describe a character as 'generous and kind,' or these traits may be shown indirectly by depicting the character often helping others in the story. It is important to note that the details used in characterization should be consistent, helping to maintain a clear and coherent depiction of the character's personality.
