The young girl brought me a very long letter form the teacher and then she quickly disappeared

Can anyone help me find the dependent and independent clauses? Will mark beainliest!

Answers

The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher (Independent clause.)


and then she quickly disappeared. (Dependent clause.)


To identify an independent clause, ask yourself if the clause can stand on its own as a sentence. Does it form a complete thought? “The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher” is a completely valid sentence on its own, so it has to be the independent clause.

The dependent clause doesn’t make much sense by itself. It forms an incomplete thought. So “and then she quickly disappeared” would be your dependent clause because it ‘depends’ on your independent clause and simply adds on to what the independent clause it saying.

Dear Mr. Peter,

How are you doing today? The purpose of writing this letter to you is to inform you about my personal learning on communication breakdown.

Communication breakdown simply means when there's a failure to exchange information properly which then leads to a lack of communication.

Communication breakdown can be a result of a wrong perception from the receiver. Communication barriers can also be a result of language barriers, emotional barriers, or when there's a  lack of attention to details.

In conclusion, communication breakdown can lead to stress and can also cause low morale.

Your faithfully,

John

Answers

Answer:

HARMFUL EFFECTS OF EXAMINATION MALPRACTICE.

Examination malpractice is a hydra-headed monster that if not defeated has the ability to bring a country to her knees, much faster than any bullet, rocket or nuclear bomb ever can.

Education is the backbone of any country and should not be treated with kid gloves.

Lawyers who cheated to pass their examination end up subverting justice, doctors who cheated to pass medical school end up making fatal errors during surgeries, engineers who cheated to pass end up wiring a building wrongly, putting the inhabitants at risk, and many other examples.

Examination malpractice has terrible consequences if left unchecked, we need to do more to stop this terrible act.

Read the excerpt from “Harriet Tubman: A Life of Toil and Triumph.” When her work in the South was finished, Harriet finally returned to her home in New York. There she helped former enslaved persons adjust to their new lives. It would seem like her life’s work was over, now that freedom and education for former enslaved persons was assured. However, a life of ease was not part of Harriet’s plan, and it was no surprise to those who knew her that she took up yet another cause. Before long she was off on a tour with Susan B. Anthony to rally support for women’s right to vote. Finally, at the age of 83, Harriet Tubman was ready to return home for good. She did so, and then immediately had a house built nearby to serve homeless seniors. She then worked at the Harriet Tubman Home for the Aged until 1911, when she became too frail to do so and was made an honorary resident. She died in 1913 at the age of 93 and was buried with full military honors. It was a fitting celebration for a woman who was born enslaved, yet chose to use her free life in ways that served us all.
Which detail from the excerpt reveals a change in public attitude during Harriet Tubman’s lifetime?

Tubman built a home for homeless seniors.
Tubman was buried with full military honors.

Write an argumentative essary in which you argue whether democracy is profitable to everyone in society or not in inequality

Answers

Answer:

DEMOCRACY: IS IT PROFITABLE TO EVERYONE IN SOCIETY?

Democracy is simply the government of the people where the citizens hold the power as they can elect their representatives and also vote them out of office.

This system of government is profitable to everyone in the society because there is equal representation, each citizen has a vote that can decide who will represent him/her. This is unlike dictatorship or communism where leaders are not selected by popular vote but come to power not on the wishes of the people.

Another reason democracy is profitable is the citizen has the power to demand accountability from their representatives of they're not doing well in office.

The representative of the people is mandated to do his job well, because otherwise, he will be replaced, this keeps the politicians on their toes always.

Yes, democracy is profitable to everyone in the society because it is the best system of government.

When the ocean liner Titanic sank in April of 1912, one of the few men to survive the tragedy was J. Bruce Ismay, the chairman and managing director of the company that owned the ship. After the disaster, however, Ismay was savaged by the media and the general public for climbing into a lifeboat and saving himself when there were other women and children still on board. Ismay said he’d already helped many women and children into lifeboats and had only climbed in one himself when there were no other women or children in the area and the boat was ready to release. But it didn’t matter. His reputation was ruined. He was labeled an uncivilized coward and, a year after the disaster, he resigned his position at White Star.
