Final answer:
Phillis Wheatley uses the imagery of "Freedom," "Tyranny," and "faction" in the first stanza of "To the Right Honourable, Earl of Dartmouth" to express her hopes about the Earl, subtly conveying her aspiration for him to advocate for liberty and justice.
Explanation:
The question asks about the imagery used by Phillis Wheatley in the first stanza of her poem "To the Right Honourable, Earl of Dartmouth" and how this imagery expresses her hopes regarding the Earl. In her poem, Wheatley uses the imagery of "Freedom," "Tyranny," and "faction" to communicate her perspectives and hopes. This choice of words not only highlights the political and social conditions of her time but also hints at her perception of the Earl as a potential advocate for change and liberty. The capitalization and emphasis on these words in the original manuscript and its variants underline the significance she places on these concepts. Specifically, the imagery of "Freedom" stands as a symbol of hope and liberation that Wheatley aspires to, both personally and for her people. By leveraging these powerful concepts, Wheatley subtly conveys her expectation that the Earl might align with the ideals of freedom and act against tyranny and factions that perpetuate the injustices of slavery. The use of such imagery reflects Wheatley's diplomatic approach in appealing to the Earl's sensibilities, hoping to ignite a sense of responsibility and action toward the cause of liberty.

Which of the following is the correct way to write a title according to MLA guidelines?
Gone With The Wind
Gone with the wind
Gone With the Wind
Gone with the Wind
Answer: D) Gone with the Wind.

What is the difference between a conventional symbol and a literary symbol?
Final answer:
Conventional symbols are widely recognized, while literary symbols in literature convey abstract ideas in a nuanced manner, adding depth to the text.
Explanation:
Conventional symbols are widely recognized symbols that carry a common meaning, such as the association of birds with freedom. On the other hand, literary symbols in literature go beyond literal meaning and represent abstract concepts or ideas. These symbols are open to interpretation and allow for deeper layers of meaning in a text.
Using symbols in literature adds depth and complexity to a text, enabling authors to convey nuanced ideas in a condensed form. Symbols create a rich tapestry of meaning, inviting readers to explore different interpretations and engage with the text on a deeper level.

23. The gerund phrase in the sentence below is used as a ___
Everyone enjoys watching a dolphin show.
a. subject.
b. direct object.
c. predicate nominative.
d. predicate adjective.
Struggling with this one!
Answer:
The correct answer is B. direct object.
Explanation:
A gerund phrase includes a gerund plus any complements or modifiers, and it functions as a noun. The gerund phrase in the sentence is "watching a dolphin show".
The reason why it is incorrect to say that the gerund phrase "watching a dolphin show" is a predicate nominative is the fact that the verb "enjoy" is not a linking verb.
Let's divide and classify the structure in parts:
- Subject (topic of the sentence, what the sentence is about): Everyone;
- Transitive verb: enjoy;
- Direct object (the recipient of the verb's action): watching a dolphin show.
We can easily identify the object of a verb by asking questions with what or who. In this case, we could ask "What does everyone enjoy?", and the answer would be "watching a dolphin show".
A predicate nominative answers a what or who questions, but it completes a linking verb. Linking verbs have the purpose of connecting the subject to its predicate, but they don't convey any action. Examples would be: to be, to become, to feel, to look, to seem, to sound, to taste - some of these verbs by be linking or transitive according to the context.

What is indirect evidence? Another name? An example?
What is the difference between direct and indirect evidence?
Final answer:
Indirect evidence, or circumstantial evidence, relies on inferences to connect it to a fact, contrasting with direct evidence which provides straightforward proof. A fingerprint at a crime scene is an example of indirect evidence, suggesting presence and potential guilt, while a confession is direct evidence, plainly indicating involvement.
Explanation:
Indirect evidence, also known as circumstantial evidence, involves using evidence to make inferences about the causes that led to a certain set of circumstances. This contrasts with direct evidence, which directly proves a fact without needing to infer. For example, a fingerprint at the scene of a crime is indirect evidence; it suggests that because the defendant's fingerprint is there, they were present and potentially committed the crime. Conversely, a defendant's confession is direct evidence as it directly proves their involvement in the crime.
The difference between direct and indirect evidence primarily lies in the way each type proves a fact. Direct evidence provides a straightforward proof of a fact, such as eyewitness testimony or a video recording of the event. Indirect evidence, on the other hand, requires the drawing of inferences to connect it to the fact being proved, like deducing someone's presence at a crime scene from fingerprints or DNA evidence. While criminal cases relying on direct evidence may appear easier to prove due to less potential for reasonable doubt, circumstantial evidence can be equally compelling, especially when it is highly reliable like DNA evidence.
