[The exhilaration] was usually followed by more of the same hot walking, with the mud sucking at our boots and the sun thudding against our helmets while an invisible enemy shot at us from distant tree lines. . . . Weeks of bottled-up tensions would be released in a few minutes of . . . violence, men screaming and shouting obscenities above the explosions of grenades and the rapid, rippling bursts of automatic rifles.

What is a subordinate clause?

A subordinate clause or dependent clause is a type of clause that cannot stand alone as a complete sentence because it does not express a complete thought and meaning.

Subordinate clause is introduced by a conjunction. It forms part of  main clause and is dependent on a main clause as it is incomplete without it. Like an independent clause, it too has a subject and a verb, but unlike an independent clause, it cannot stand alone as a sentence.

Subordinate clauses often starts with subordinating conjunctions, which are words that link dependent clauses to independent clauses, such as for, as, since, therefore, hence, consequently, though, due to, provided that, because etc. Example of a subordinate clause is:- She went home because she felt ill. Here, "because she felt ill" is a subordinate clause.

Read the excerpt from Part 1 of The Odyssey.

And this new grief we bore with us to sea:
our precious lives we had, but not our friends.
No ship made sail next day until some shipmate
had raised a cry, three times, for each poor ghost
unfleshed by the Cicones on that field.

What theme is best revealed by this conflict?

-Sadness can destroy people.
-One must mourn before moving on.
-Many lives are lost too soon in battle.
-People are haunted by lost souls.

Answers

Answer:

One must mourn before moving on.

Explanation:

In the excerpt presented in the question above, we can see that both Odysseus and the crew who were traveling with him were sad and depressed because of the friends they lost in the battle against the Cyclopes. They needed to continue the journey back home, but they could not ignore the grief they felt for everyone who died and were only able to sail again after that grief was expressed by everyone. This brings us to the theme that we must weep and express all our sadness before continuing on our journeys.

"Odyssey" is the Greek tale written by Homer, which tells the adventures of Odysseus in his attempt to return to Ithaca after spending 20 years away.

Answer:

b. One must mourn before moving on.

Thank you.

George Takei's dad, who suffered the most under the conditions of Japanese American internment, said to George:

“Our democracy is a people’s democracy, and it can be as great as the people can be, but it is also as fallible as the people are,”

What does he mean by this ?

Answers

Answer:

He meant that democracy is not perfect, but rather susceptible to huge and harmful failures, which must be tackled.

Explanation:

George Takei is an American actor of Japanese descent. His family was forced to abandon their home and all their possessions to live in the Japanese concentration camps, formed by the American government during World War II. This was an extremely shameful moment in American history, as it shows the great level of instability, prejudice and intolerance towards immigrants and descendants. These factors are totally against the concepts preached by democracy, which is one of the great prides of the American population.

George Takei's father, as one of the great failures of American democracy, shows that this democracy is imperfect and capable of absurd cruelties, contrary to what it should be.
