Answer:For VOA Learning English, this is Everyday Grammar.
There is an old saying that America and Britain are “two nations divided by a common language.”
No one knows exactly who said this, but it reflects the way many Brits feel about American English. My British friend still tells me, “You don’t speak English. You speak American.”
But are American and British English really so different?
Vocabulary
The most noticeable difference between American and British English is vocabulary. There are hundreds of everyday words that are different. For example, Brits call the front of a car the bonnet, while Americans call it the hood.
Americans go on vacation, while Brits go on holidays, or hols.
New Yorkers live in apartments; Londoners live in flats.
There are far more examples than we can talk about here. Fortunately, most Americans and Brits can usually guess the meaning through the context of a sentence.
Collective nouns
There are a few grammatical differences between the two varieties of English. Let’s start with collective nouns. We use collective nouns to refer to a group of individuals.
In American English, collective nouns are singular. For example, staff refers to a group of employees; band refers to a group of musicians; team refers to a group of athletes. Americans would say, “The band is good.”
But in British English, collective nouns can be singular or plural. You might hear someone from Britain say, “The team are playing tonight” or “The team is playing tonight.”
Auxiliary verbs
Another grammar difference between American and British English relates to auxiliary verbs. Auxiliary verbs, also known as helping verbs, are verbs that help form a grammatical function. They “help” the main verb by adding information about time, modality and voice.
Let’s look at the auxiliary verb shall. Brits sometimes use shall to express the future.
For example, “I shall go home now.” Americans know what shall means, but rarely use it in conversation. It seems very formal. Americans would probably use “I will go home now.”
In question form, a Brit might say, “Shall we go now?” while an American would probably say, “Should we go now?”
When Americans want to express a lack of obligation, they use the helping verb do with negative not followed by need. “You do not need to come to work today.” Brits drop the helping verb and contract not. “You needn’t come to work today.”

In the following sentences, select which word is being modified by the appositive phrase.
“That night the boys got acquainted at a cookout. Henry sat with Nathan and Clark, another boy from his cabin."
Answer:
Clark
Explanation:
Hello!
I love these.
Basically what you are looking for here is an appositive phrase that describes a noun. If you look at the example I attached you will see what I mean.
Anyways a appositive phrase is basically a couple words or so that describes the noun.
Lets go through your sentence and look for something like this.
"That night the boys got acquainted at a cookout."
There is no phrase here describing a noun, it just is saying what the boys did. A lot of verbs.
"Henry sat with Nathan and Clark, another boy from his cabin."
Alright so here we can see something. It is telling us that Henry sat with Nathan and Clark but we also have a phrase that adds onto and describes the boy Clark.
This is your appositive phrase! And it is describing the boy Clark.
So your answer is Clark since they're asking for the word that the appositive phrase is modifying.
I hope this helps!

(1) If you are a soccer fan from the United States and you begin to watch European soccer on television,
you almost have to learn a whole new language. (2) Even when the coverage is in English, there is an
intriguing amount of linguistic variety in the descriptions of the sport.
(3) First of all, many people know that the sport is only called soccer in the United States. (4) Elsewhere,
the game is called football, which is logical since it is played primarily by moving the ball with your feet.
(5) In the United States, soccer players wear a shirt called a jersey and shoes called cleats. (6) In England
and other parts of the United Kingdom, players wear a kit and boots.
(7) A soccer game is not called a game in the United Kingdom; it's called a match. (8) Also, the match is
not played on a field; it's played on a pitch. (9) In the United Kingdom, when neither team scores, the
score is reported as nil-nil, not zero to zero.
(10) These are just a few examples of the linguistic challenges that you will face if you begin to follow
European soccer. (11) However, it is worth the learning curve just to watch this beautiful game.

In what ways does Dobson make The Three Fates such an intriguing poem?
Answer
Hi,
The writer uses poem structure, literary devices, tone mood and themes to make the poem such an intriguing one.
Explanation:
POEM STRUCTURE
The poem has 5 stanzas that are separated into 3 different line names the tercet. The poem is structurally formatted in such a way that the first line is the longest and the third line is the shortest in each stanza. Each of this sentences indicate the states of life(birth, life and death) and also it indicated the presence of the three goddess sisters: CLOTHO, ATROPOS and LACHERIS. It is narrated in the 3rd person by a semi omniscient narrator who is able to look into the mind of the man and understand and describe his motivation and action. There is no rhyme scheme although there is a continuous use of assonance
LITERARY DEVICES

1. Allusion to the Greek MYTHOLOGY
2. Visual Imagery

Major Arthur Godfrey Peuchen, starting to undress for the night, thought it was like a heavy wave striking the ship. Mrs J. Stuart White was sitting on the edge of her bed, just reaching to turn out the light, when the ship seemed to roll over ‘a thousand marbles’. To Lady Cosmo Duff Gordon, waking up from the jolt, it seemed ‘as though somebody had drawn a giant finger along the side of the ship’. Mrs John Jacob Astor thought it was some mishap in the kitchen.
It seemed stronger to some than to others. Mrs Albert Caldwell pictured a large dog that had a baby kitten in its mouth and was shaking it. Mrs Walter B. Stephenson recalled the first ominous jolt when she was in the San Francisco earthquake – then decided this wasn’t that bad. Mrs E. D. Appleton felt hardly any shock at all, but she noticed an unpleasant ripping sound … like someone tearing a long, long strip of calico.
The jar meant more to J. Bruce Ismay, managing director of the White Star Line, who, in a festive mood, was going along for a ride on the Titanic’s first trip. Ismay woke up with a start in his de luxe suite on B deck – he felt sure the ship had struck something, but he didn’t know what.
Based on what you know about the workers and passengers reactions, what is the central idea of the story?
Answer:
Instead of investigating the cause of the noise and movements of the ship, the passengers and workers try to connect it with something familiar and convince themselves that they are in no immediate danger. For example, Mrs. Walter B. Stephenson compared the jolts to an earthquake and convinced herself that the earthquake was worse. This leads me to believe that the central idea of the story is that people often try to downplay and underestimate dangerous situations when they have no clue what is actually going on.
Hope this helps you!!

from I heard an Angel singing
by William Blake
I heard an Angel singing
When the day was springing
Mercy Pity Peace
Is the worlds release
Thus he sung all day
Over the new mown hay
Till the sun went down
And haycocks looked brown
I heard a Devil curse
Over the heath & the furze
Mercy could be no more
If there was nobody poor
And pity no more could be
If all were as happy as we
At his curse the sun went down
And the heavens gave a frown
Down pourd the heavy rain
Over the new reapd grain
And Miseries increase
Is Mercy Pity Peace
