However, children are slightly more likely than their
parents to watch TV alone. Kids view solo in about 17 percent
of the cases where we record TV viewing as the primary
activity, mothers and fathers watch alone in only 6 percent
and 13 percent of the cases, respectively. We also found that
children much more frequently watch TV in a bedroom
(34 percent of primary TV observations, alone or with
others) than either of their parents (9 percent for mothers and
10 percent for fathers). Indeed, the socially isolating potential
of TV appears higher
among families that have more than one
TV set in the home. Children in families that have TVs in one
or more bedroom spaces are more likely to watch TV alone
than children in families that do not have a TV in a child's or
parents' bedroom.

What is the claim

gandhi had lead a successful campaign of nonviolent civil resistance to british rule, which led to india's independence. good luck

explanation:

(you didn't attach a copy of the poem, but i'm answering as best as i can)

since a simile compares two unlike things using like or as, it kind of gives an item the ability to do something it can't.

example: "the player was like a tiger on the field"

in this sentence, the simile conveys the idea that the player was fast and strong, like a tiger.

1.   in sonnet 18, the speaker wants to describe the beauty of his love, but can’t find the words to do so. the speaker says “then in mid-utterance the lay was lost” when he tries to think of the words to describe his love’s beauty.   through his defeat of finding words to describe his love, he shows his love for her.

2.   instead of describing how perfect his love is or comparing her to other beautiful things, he says she is average and there is nothing special about her.   at the last 2 lines of the poem, the volta changes the poem by saying that even though his love is average in beauty, his love for her is special and unique. so instead of praising her throughout the whole poem, he contrasts her average characteristics with his special love for her.

3.   the beloved asked the speaker to describe how he feels about her. she begins to describe what she feels but "drop the torch" and says that she can't do it because the words "hid in me out of reach." the the speaker says "nay, let the silence of my womanhood command my woman-love to thy belief" and that her silence will have to be the answer to his question.
