Answer 2
The theme of youth,happiness and memories

The speaker, who is looking back on this time in his life, is recalling with pleasure his first date. He was quite young, only twelve, and he was meeting up with a girl in the freezing cold, December weather. Despite this, his happiness and the warmth of the moment are conveyed through symbols of hope and life. These include the young girl’s smile, her makeup, the light at her home, and the oranges in his pocket. While the memories of the date are not entirely pleasurable (he was embarrassed at the store’s checkout) he does recall them fondly. The poem ends on a positive note as the two eat their chocolate and remaining orange outside, oblivious to the cold.

Which word has a long i sound?

Risky
Brighten
Until
Weight

Answers

Answer:

Your answer is-Brighton

Explanation:

The word "Brighten" has a long i sound. In the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). Hence option B is correct.

The long I sound is represented as /aɪ/. In "Brighten," the "i" is pronounced as a long I sound, which makes the word sound like /.

The word "Brighten" has a long i sound. The "i" in "Brighten" is pronounced as /aɪ/, which is a long vowel sound. The word means to make something lighter in color or to become brighter. Examples of using "Brighten" in sentences are:

The sunshine helped brighten the room, filling it with warmth and light.

She smiled, and her face seemed to brighten up with happiness.

Adding a fresh coat of paint can brighten any dull wall. The cheerful flowers in the garden brighten our spirits on gloomy days.

Therefore option B is correct.

General WritingPunctuationIndependent and Dependent Clauses

Identifying Independent and Dependent Clauses

When you want to use commas and semicolons in sentences and when you are concerned about whether a sentence is or is not a fragment, a good way to start is to be able to recognize dependent and independent clauses. The definitions offered here will help you with this.

Independent Clause

An independent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and verb and expresses a complete thought. An independent clause is a sentence.

Jim studied in the Sweet Shop for his chemistry quiz.

Dependent Clause

A dependent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and verb but does not express a complete thought. A dependent clause cannot be a sentence. Often a dependent clause is marked by a dependent marker word.

When Jim studied in the Sweet Shop for his chemistry quiz . . . (What happened when he studied? The thought is incomplete.)

Dependent Marker Word

A dependent marker word is a word added to the beginning of an independent clause that makes it into a dependent clause.

When Jim studied in the Sweet Shop for his chemistry quiz, it was very noisy.

Some common dependent markers: after, although, as, as if, because, before, even if, even though, if, in order to, since, though, unless, until, whatever, when, whenever, whether, and while.

Connecting independent clauses

There are two types of words that can be used as connectors at the beginning of an independent clause: coordinating conjunctions and independent marker words.

1. Coordinating Conjunction

The seven coordinating conjunctions used as connecting words at the beginning of an independent clause are and, but, for, or, nor, so, and yet. When the second independent clause in a sentence begins with a coordinating conjunction, a comma is needed before the coordinating conjunction:

Jim studied in the Sweet Shop for his chemistry quiz, but it was hard to concentrate because of the noise.

2. Independent Marker Word

An independent marker word is a connecting word used at the beginning of an independent clause. These words can always begin a sentence that can stand alone. When the second independent clause in a sentence has an independent marker word, a semicolon is needed before the independent marker word.

Jim studied in the Sweet Shop for his chemistry quiz; however, it was hard to concentrate because of the noise.

Some common independent markers: also, consequently, furthermore, however, moreover, nevertheless, and therefore

Explanation:

In the story "After twenty years" how much has jimmy changed over the years?​

Answers

Explanation:

According to Bob, his friend Jimmy Wells was twenty years old when he last saw him twenty years ago. Now Jimmy would be forty. The years between twenty and forty are the most crucial years in a man's life. Whatever he has become by the age of forty is what he will remain. Jimmy would be a middle-aged policeman, probably a little overweight, probably married and having a home and children. He was barely out of his teens when he and Bob parted twenty years ago. Jimmy may have joined the police force shortly afterwards. Bob describes him at the age of twenty as a "plodding" type of person. The police force could have appealed to him because it provided security and respectability. He has gained a lot of practical experience on the job. We can see that in the adroit way he handles Bob, never letting him know that he in fact is Jimmy Wells and is keeping their appointment. O. Henry does not introduce Jimmy by name at the beginning of the story, but the author describes the manner and actions of a typical New York beat cop to let the reader see that this is a man who has become completely shaped into the role of an honest, responsible police officer who likes his routine job. The way Jimmy twirls his club represents years of walking his beat and passing the time by practising his club-twirling.

THE POLICEMAN ON the beat moved up the avenue impressively. The impressiveness was habitual and not for show, for spectators were few...Trying doors as he went, twirling his club with many intricate and artful movements, turning now and then to cast his watchful eye adown the pacific thoroughfare, the officer, with his stalwart form and slight swagger, made a fine picture of a guardian of the peace.

Jimmy has been shaped by what he does. This happens to most men with increasing age. Bob, too, has been shaped by what he does. Bob has been shaped into a stereotypical petty criminal who has been on the run for twenty years and is superficially successful but has missed out on all the things that Jimmy has acquired, including a home and a family, friends, security, comfort, roots, and a certain degree of authority. O. Henry's story is mainly intended to show the contrast between the two men after twenty years. Both of them made career choices twenty years ago, and both have become what they are as a result of their choices. Bob brags to the policeman, whom he doesn't recognize, about having been successful. He doesn't expect Jimmy to have done as well. But who is the really successful man?

Jimmy - a 40-year-old patrolman. He is confident and dutiful in his job, so much so that he reports his friend. However, he feels bad for his friend and the time they shared together, so he does not personally arrest his friend. The other patrolman - the last character to be introduced.
