Which of the following would be the most effective tool for creating space in a composition?
A
bright colors
B
intense light source
C
many objects in the background
D
1 point perspective
Final answer:
The most effective tool for creating space in a composition is 1 point perspective, as it establishes depth by showing how objects appear smaller as they get further away, converging towards a single vanishing point.
Explanation:
The most effective tool for creating space in a composition out of the options provided would be 1 point perspective. One-point perspective is a drawing method that shows how things appear to shrink in size as they get further away, converging towards a single 'vanishing point' on the horizon line. It establishes depth and dimension in a composition. For example, in a landscape, objects closer to the viewer are depicted larger than those in the distance, while parallel lines like railroad tracks will seem to meet at a single point on the horizon. This technique creates a realistic sense of space and distance within a two-dimensional artwork.
Other elements mentioned, such as bright colors, an intense light source, and having many objects in the background, can also affect the perception of space but are supplementary to the foundational space-defining method of perspective. Bright colors can draw attention to certain areas, an intense light source can create dramatic contrasts and a sense of volume, and including many objects in the background can give a sense of complexity to space, but none of these techniques are as effective as one-point perspective for creating the illusion of space on a flat surface.
Excerpt from Norse Mythology Part B Kate McConnaughey (15) Then all the gods wept, the summer breeze wailed, the leaves fell from the sorrowing trees, the flowers faded and died from grief, and the earth stiff and cold. Read the passage. Look at the underlined section marked number (15). There may be a mistake in the way the sentence is written. If you find a mistake, choose the answer that corrects the mistake. If there is no mistake, choose ‘Correct as is.’ A) Correct as is. B) Then all the gods wept, the summer breeze wailed, the leaves fell from the sorrowing trees, the flowers faded and died from grief, and the earth grew stiff and cold. C) Then all the gods wept, the summer breeze wailed, the leaves fell from the sorrowing trees, the flowers faded and died from grief, and the earth was growing stiff and cold. D) Then all the gods wept, the summer breeze wailed, the leaves were falling from the sorrowing trees, the flowers were fading and died from grief, and the earth grew stiff and cold.
The correct answer is letter b.
The excerpt is written in the Simple Past and narrates a series of events that happened in a sequence.
Notice the verbs in the Simple Past : wept, wailed, fell, faded and died.
There is a verb missing in the part " the earth stiff and cold" The verb is grow, the Simple Past form is grew, therefore " the earth grew stiff and cold" is the correct way.
Letter A is wrong because there's a verb missing.
Letter C and letter D " the earth was growing stiff and cold" the verb grow is in the Past Continuos, " the leaves were falling from the sorrowing trees" the verb fall is also in the Past Continous breaking the pattern stablished.

The true brotherhood of America, of respecting the separateness of others . . . and uniting in effort . . . has been so twisted and distorted.
In united effort we were meant to live under this government.
Answer: The true brotherhood of America, of respecting the separateness of others . . . and uniting in effort . . . has been so twisted and distorted.
Governor George Wallace was an American politician and 45th Governor of Alabama. He was famous for his opposition to desegregation and his support for Jim Crow positions.
His sentence "The true brotherhood of America, of respecting the separateness of others . . . and uniting in effort . . . has been so twisted and distorted" shows his political leanings. Wallace is arguing that the separation of different people (in this case black and white) needs to be respected, and that it should not be an obstacle for the unity of the country.
Martin Luther King Jr. would disagree with this position, as it clashes with his dream of all men of all races, nationalities and creeds living together as brothers.

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.
If you walked down Beekman Street in New York in the 1750s, you would come to a general store owned by Gerard Beekman—his family gave the street its name. The products on his shelves showed many of the ways sugar was linking the world. Beekman and merchants like him shipped flour, bread, corn, salted beef, and wood to the Caribbean. They brought back sugar, rum, molasses, limes, cocoa, and ginger. Simple enough; but this trade up and down the Atlantic coast was part of a much larger world system. Textbooks talk about the Triangle Trade: Ships set out from Europe carrying fabrics, clothes, and simple manufactured goods to Africa, where they sold their cargoes and bought people. The enslaved people were shipped across the Atlantic to the islands, where they were sold for sugar. Then the ships brought sugar to North America, to be sold or turned into rum—which the captains brought back to Europe. But that neat triangle—already more of a rectangle—is completely misleading. Beekman's trade, for example, could cut out Europe entirely. British colonists' ships set out directly from New York and New England carrying the food and timber that the islands needed, trading them for sugar, which the merchants brought back up the coast. Then the colonists traded their sugar for English fabrics, clothes, and simple manufactured goods, or they took their rum directly to Africa to buy slaves—to sell to the sugar islands. English, North American, French, and Dutch ships competed to supply the Caribbean plantations and buy their sugar. And even all these boats filling the waters of the Atlantic were but one part of an even larger system of world trade. Africans who sold other Africans as slaves insisted on being paid in fabrics from India. Indeed, historians have discovered that some 35 percent of the cargo typically taken from Europe to Africa originally came from India. What could the Europeans use to buy Indian cloth? The Spanish shipped silver from the mines of Bolivia to Manila in the Philippines, and bought Asian products there. Any silver that English or French pirates could steal from the Spanish was also ideal for buying Asian cloth. So to get the fabrics that would buy the slaves that could be sold for sugar for the English to put into their tea, the Spanish shipped silver to the Philippines, and the French, English, and Dutch sailed east to India. What we call a triangle was really as round as the globe.
Which evidence best supports the authors' claim and purpose?
A. "Simple enough; but this trade up and down the Atlantic coast was part of a much larger world system."
B. "Beekman's trade, for example, could cut out Europe entirely."
C. "Africans who sold other Africans as slaves insisted on being paid in fabrics from India."
D. "What could the Europeans use to buy Indian cloth?"

In Yusef Komunyakaa's "Camouflaging the Chimera", the soldiers are B. Preparing to fight. In Komunyakaa's "Camouflaging the Chimera", the narrator tells us about the effort that American soldiers did to look like animals and blend in. The soldiers in Vietnam made a tremendous effort to blend with their surroundings, just as animals do to avoid being attacked by other animals "We tied branches to our helmets. We painted our faces and rifles with mud from a riverbank,...". These efforts were made to prevent the enemies from seeing them and so that they could launch a surprise assault on Vietnamese troops.
When rama and sugriva help each other in the ramayana what might there alliance reveal about ancient indian culture
In the Ramayana, When Rama and Sugriva help each other in the Ramayana their alliance reveal about the value of friendship in ancient Indian culture.
When near the Pampa lake both Rama and Laxman were in the search of Sita who was lost, this situation flowered the friendship between Rama and Sugriva.
In the Rishyamuka hill, Sugriva was hiding from Vali. Upon seeing Rama and Laxman from a distant place, he finds out their identity by sending Hanuman to identify. Hence, Hanuman was able to effectively enquire about them and assess their situation. Later upon introducing himself, Hanuman agrees that he assumed a form and that he is a monkey in real in direction of his master Sugriva. Hanuman leads them to Sugriva and in the time of fire Rama and Sugriva pledge to remain friends and that Rama assures to eliminate Vali. Such instance leads to lasting friendship and love between both. This depicts the act of selflessness and working for the welfare of others.

WILL MARK BRAINIEST The findings of the study will be published in Scientific Journal next month. This sentence is active. This sentence cannot be rewritten in the active voice. This sentence can be rewritten in the active voice.
The sentence The findings of the study will be published in Scientific Journal next month is in the passive voice because the subject of the sentence (the findings of the study) doesn't act but it is rather the passive recipient of the action. If we wanted to rewrite the sentence in the active voice, that would be:
They will publish the findings of the study in Scientific Journal next month.
So, the correct answer is: This sentence can be rewritten in the active voice.
Final answer:
The provided sentence is in the active voice, where the subject performs the action. Active voice is typically stronger and more direct than passive voice. To use active voice, the doer of the action should be the sentence's subject, and active verbs should be used to enhance clarity and engagement.
Explanation:
The sentence 'The findings of the study will be published in Scientific Journal next month.' is indeed in the active voice. This means that the subject of the sentence, which is 'the findings of the study,' performs the action of being published. In contrast, passive voice would be used if the subject were the recipient of the action, such as 'The study's findings will be published by Scientific Journal next month.'
To maintain active voice, it's essential to keep the doer of the action as the sentence's subject. Active-voice sentences are often more direct and vigorous than passive ones. For instance, 'Three undergraduate students completed the study in 2020.' is a much stronger sentence than saying 'The study was completed in 2020 by three undergraduate students.'
When crafting sentences, especially for scientific papers, using active verbs creates strength and clarity. For example, changing the sentence from 'The psychology class is interesting to me' to 'I find the psychology class interesting' removes the 'to be' verb and integrates a more active structure.

What is the effect of the structure on the poem "She Walks in Beauty" by Lord Byron?
Question 5 options:
By establishing a rather basic rhyme scheme in the poem, Byron is able to suggest the speaker's lack of complexity.
By organizing the poem into three short and even stanzas, Byron is able to convey the work's themes directly and succinctly.
By giving the poem an even and steady meter, Byron makes the speaker's great excitement even more obvious.
By breaking the poem into three stanzas, Byron allows readers to follow along as the speaker describes three different women.
BTW your answer is C : They show the speaker's feelings and behavior at the start of her marriage, when she was young and less mature.
The line from the poem and the speaker's initial timid behavior showcase how the speaker's feelings evolved from being unfamiliar at the start of her marriage to more complex emotions over time. This aligns with the concept that time and maturity can allow love to develop between two people.
Explanation:The line from 'The River Merchant's Wife: A Letter', 'Called to, a thousand times, I never looked back', and the speaker's bashfulness in previous lines depict a young, inexperienced woman at the start of her marriage. This character illustration can contribute to the development of the idea that time and maturity can allow love to develop between two people. Initially, the speaker is presented as cautious and timid towards her husband, indicating a lack of comfort or familiarity. As the poem progresses, it can be inferred that her emotions towards her husband change, demonstrating that feelings can evolve over time with maturation.
This concept relates to option C, 'They show the speakers feelings and behavior at the start of her marriage when she was young and less mature', as the poem captures the progression of the speaker's emotions from her initial unfamiliarity to her developed sentiments over time.

1. The following question refers to the story "The Cold Equations." In "The Cold Equations," the rule regarding EDS stowaways is based on —
physical laws regarding fuel and weight.
the need to maintain the secrecy of space missions.
past experiences with renegades and hijackers.
the importance of stressing discipline.
2. In “The Cold Equations,” the conflict is a choice between the life of Marylin and the lives of a group of sick people on Earth.
True
False
3. The following question refers to the story "The Cold Equations."
In "The Cold Equations," Barton waits until the last possible minute to jettison Marilyn because he —
thinks she’s attractive and enjoys her company.
wants to know why she has taken such a risk.
thinks another EDS will rescue her.
is trying to give her time to accept the situation.
Question 1
The correct answer is option 1 "physical laws regarding fuel and weight". In Tom Godwin's science-fiction story “The Cold Equations", the story takes place in an Emergency Dispatch Ship (EDS), where the pilot discovers a eighteen-year-old girl, which entered as a stowaway. The rule was eject any stowaway to maintain the fuel and weight of the ship, but after learning the innocence of the young girl, he decided to take a different approach.
Question 2
The correct answer is "false". The main conflict of “The Cold Equations", is that Marilyn has to die, and the pilot Barton has to be the executioner.
Question 3
The correct answer is Barton "wants to know why she has taken such a risk". Barton did not want to jettison Marilyn, and wants to understand why he have to do it.
Answer:
Q1- "physical laws regarding fuel and weight", since the rule for the trip was that "h amount of fuel will not power an EDS with a mass of m plus x safely to its destination". X stands for the girl's weight in the ESL, which was a stowaway, and she couldn't stay in it or the destination wouldn't be reached.
Q2- False, the conflict is a choice between the life of Marylin and the fact that Barton has to be the one to jettison her out of it.
Q3 - "wants to know why she has taken such a risk" , since he is not from Earth an doesn't understand why humans always believe in possibilities that aren't a match to the physical laws that he was used to. For him, it was very strange to see how the girl could still be hopeful that she could stay in the ESL even after the explanation on why this wasn't possible.
