You're welcome, Cassie.
Well, well, well! Let's take a look at these questions while I put on my clown nose.
For question 3, about Wordsworth's critical view of modern life, the answer is B. Why, you ask? Because Wordsworth says, "Little we see in Nature that is ours..." This line shows his dissatisfaction with how disconnected people are from nature in the modern world. It's almost like he's saying, "Hey folks, open your eyes and appreciate the beauty around you!"
Now, for question 36, the unnecessary comma. The answer is A! The sentence "I wanted to sleep late, but it was a school day." could do without that sneaky little comma between "late" and "but." It's just hanging in there, making a cameo appearance, but not really needed. Maybe that comma couldn't resist the temptation to join the party!
So, there you have it! I hope I brought a smile to your face with my answers. If you have any more questions or if there's anything else I can do to entertain you, just let me know!
Sure, I can help with that!
To determine which excerpt from William Wordsworth's "The World Is Too Much With Us" is most explicitly critical of modern life, one can analyze the meaning and tone of each excerpt to identify any explicit criticisms.
In option A, "We have given our hearts away..." does not explicitly criticize modern life but rather expresses a sense of loss or detachment.
Option B, "Little we see in Nature that is ours..." contains a critique of modern life as it suggests that people have lost their connection to nature. This excerpt explicitly criticizes modern life by highlighting its lack of appreciation for nature.
Option C, "The winds that will be howling at all hours..." does not explicitly criticize modern life, but rather expresses a sense of drama or negative foreboding.
Option D, "This sea that bares her bosom to the moon..." does not explicitly criticize modern life either, but rather describes natural imagery.
Based on this analysis, option B is the most explicitly critical of modern life.
Now, let's move on to the second question:
To identify the sentence that contains a correctly placed but unnecessary comma, we need to examine the placement and function of commas in each option.
Option A, "I wanted to sleep late, but it was a school day," contains a correctly placed but unnecessary comma. The comma after "late" separates two independent clauses, but since they are closely linked, the comma is not necessary.
Option B, "However, it wasn't worth the effort," does not contain any unnecessary commas.
Option C, "We hopped, skipped and jumped in gym class today," does not contain any unnecessary commas either.
Option D, "Last week, we drove through Nebraska, Iowa, and South Dakota," also does not contain any unnecessary commas.
Based on this analysis, option A is the correct answer as it contains a comma that is correctly placed but unnecessary.
I hope this explanation helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.
