The scientific study of amphibians and reptiles is known as herpetology. The name comes from the Greek root herpeton which means “creeping animal.” Those who study this field of biology are known as herpetologists, though they prefer to call themselves “herpers.” Modern herpetologists specialize in a particular field of study, and it is rare to find one who focuses on general herpetology. They find work in a variety of careers, such as field research, nature guides, professors, veterinarians, museum curators, and so on. Few universities offer degrees in herpetology, so it is a highly competitive and close-knit field.

An appositive phrase is known to be a group of words that actually comes before or after a noun or pronoun in order to explain, buttress or modify it.

These appositive phrases may be omitted from a sentence. When this omission is carried out, it doesn't affect the noun or pronoun it identifies. We say it nonrestrictive.

From the sentence given, we discover that "The famous guitarist" is the appositive phrase explaining who Nathan Heywood is.

PLEASE HELP IF YOU'VE READ THE GREAT GATSBY PLEASE HELP ME!!!! 100 POINTS!!!!! NO PLAGIARISM PLEASE!!!!!
Having already described the "voice" of the narrator, Nick, in "The Great Gatsby", you should be in a position to reflect upon what you know about the main characters so far (Chapter 1). In a paragraph, list one or two important facts -- or guesses -- you associate with each person:
1) Daisy Buchanan
2) Tom Buchanan
3) Jordan Baker
4) Nick
5) Gatsby

About whom do you think you know the most? And whom the least?

Answers

Answer:

Tom, is Daisy's Husband. He's rude, very cocky, rich, and overall the stereotypical, toxic, masculine figure I would say. He tries to sound smart, but in doing so we figure out he's a racist guy. Daisy, seems naïve, maybe fake as well, trying to cover up how she feels with smiles. I feel as if Daisy and Tom might break up, due to them arguing in the first chapter. Jordan, Daisy's friend, is a golfer. She's a beautiful petite thing who doesn't talk much but seems flirty, who Nick kind of has a thing for her. She's smart, and confident. I would guess Nick and Jordan will get together. Nick is the person we are being told the story by. He is Daisy's cousin, from Minnesota, claiming he doesn't judge people, and doesn't want to misunderstand them. Gatsby, the character we know the least about, is a mysterious, young, handsome man, fascinated with a green light. My guess is that Nick will become more interested in this Gatsby figure and try to learn more about him.

Read the excerpt from The Secret Garden. Suddenly a clear rippling little sound broke out near her and she turned around. She was standing a few feet from a young apple-tree, and the robin had flown on to one of its branches and had burst out into a scrap of a song. Ben Weatherstaff laughed outright. "What did he do that for?" asked Mary. "He's made up his mind to make friends with thee," replied Ben. "Dang me if he hasn't took a fancy to thee." "To me?" said Mary, and she moved toward the little tree softly and looked up. Which evidence best supports the idea that Mary is beginning to change? "…she moved toward the little tree softly…" "…she turned around." "'What did he do that for?' asked Mary." "She was standing a few feet from a young apple-tree."

Answers

Answer: "…she moved toward the little tree softly…"

Explanation:

The best evidence of Mary beginning to change is how she suddenly shifts into a soft movement, which indicates she´s become interested in the robin. Given that Mary has been presented as a bratty girl, this change in behavior shows she´s becoming more open to build relationships and be nicer.

The other options don´t have the same effect. The description of Mary standing "a few feet from a young apple-tree," shows she still reluctant to open herself. Her question ("What did he do that for?") indicates a rather alarming surprise.

How does Ender inspire confidence and loyalty in the soldiers in his army?

Answers

Answer:

By winning games and being a top soldier, Ender gives his army confidence. He makes his army practice well, so they are confident in their skills. Ender inspires loyalty of the soldier to their toon leader and Ender himself by being strict to his army but letting the toon leaders spread the good news. This creates bonds within a toon allowing them to communicate with each other more often and more openly. Also, an army is more likely to follow a strict commander with order than a lazy commander with sloppiness.

3.Rhetoric- is the art of persuasion, which along with grammar and logic, is one of the three ancient arts of discourse. Rhetoric aims to study the capacities of writers or speakers needed to inform, persuade, or motivate particular audiences in specific situations. Allusion- is a figure of speech, in which an object or circumstance from unrelated context is referred to covertly or indirectly. It is left to the audience to make the direct connection. Where the connection is directly and explicitly stated by the author, it is instead usually termed a reference. juxtaposition- is an act or instance of placing two elements close together or side by side. This is often done in order to compare/contrast the two, to show similarities or differences.
