A.shook out some salt for himself
B.began to cut the bread
C.drew a coat over his shirt
D.assumed a serious expression
C.drew a coat over his shirt
The most immediate action Ivan Jakovlevitch does to show his propriety is to put on a coat. In this instance, we need to assume the coat is not a jacket you wear outside to ward off the cold, but rather part of a suit. By putting on the coat, he is dressing in a more proper and formal manner. He is following the social rules of the occasion. Propriety means to follow or conform to the social rules and behaviors of a situation.

(important) Please include the entire question when asking a question. Fortunately I was able to find it myself.
Which occasion or circumstance leads the speaker to the thoughts in Sonnet VII by John Milton?
Answer: For Grad point users the (Correct) answer is "a birthday".
I just took the test and got it correct. I provided a screenshot is below for proof.
(Answer choices)
a new career
✓
a birthday
a fight
a spring day
Explanation: Take a look at the poem and make your own inferences.
Read the passage.
How soon hath Time, the subtle thief of youth,
Stolen on his wing my three and twentieth year!
My hasting days fly on with full career,
But my late spring no bud or blossom showeth.
Perhaps my semblance might deceive the truth,
That I to manhood am arrived so near,
And inward ripeness doth much less appear,
That some more timely-happy spirits endueth.
Which occasion or circumstance leads the speaker to the thoughts in Sonnet VII by John Milton?
Here is the way I worked through it.
We can inspect the answer choice: "new career". In the third line it says my "hasting days fly on with a full career." Despite this it doesn't mention anything about a new career in all the lines so we can rule it out.
After reading through the poem we can infer that there are no 'fighting words' or acts of violence. Therefore it's NOT "a fight".
Next we can inspect the answer choice: "new career". In the third line it says my "hasting days fly on with a full career." Despite this it doesn't mention anything about a 'new' career in all the lines so we can rule it out.
It's also not "a spring day". It does mention "But my late spring no bud or blossom showeth." However after reading the lines over you can tell he is referring to himself. This means he is getting old and he feels its effects.
It's clear that the answer is "a birthday" because it is mentioned right off the bat how time has essentially stolen his youth in his three and twentieth year. This suggests he is 23 years of age now. He is reflecting on his birthday and how his age is robing of his productivity.
P.S. "I would be at your utmost thanks if you gave this answer the brainiest. First of all, it's correct. next it's informative and well thought out. As for anyone else giving it 5 stars and thanks are also very important".
Screenshot is included for extra proof.

Read this excerpt from a travel journal. Today we circled D.C.’s tidal basin – it was amazing! We started at the Jefferson Memorial, with its towering statue and familiar quotes. Then, it was on to the newer FDR memorial. Which sentence exhibits the most appropriate style in which to continue this journal?
Final answer:
An appropriate continuation of the journal would be descriptive and personal, showing the emotional impact of visiting the solemn Vietnam Memorial and reflecting on its contemporary approach to national history and remembrance.
Explanation:
The style most appropriate to continue this travel journal would be narrative and descriptive, capturing the experiences and environment in a personal and engaging way. An example continuation could be:
"Wandering among the solemn black walls of the Vietnam Memorial, I felt a wave of emotion. Each name etched into the stone represented a life, a story, and a sacrifice. This powerful monument, so different from the grand statues of past conflicts, prompts a reflective silence and a poignant remembrance of the lives lost. Unlike the celebratory statues of historical figures, the Vietnam Memorial speaks to the personal loss and cost of war, highlighting the contemporary approach to recognizing national history and individual service."

D. This electronic device didn't work.
Answer:
6. Option A
7. Option A
8. Option A
9. Option C
10. Option B
Explanation:
Before answering our questions, we have to remember that a THESIS is a specific sentence that expresses what the writer wants to say. There are some characteristics that a good thesis have to take into account:
1. To be punctual: To be able to solve a problem or develop an investigation/action plan, the thesis has to be specific. Producing general thesis is a mistake that could stop the correct process.
2. To be ascertainable: The investigator/writer/person with a problem should be able to check if the objectives were achieved or not.
3. To be consistent: It has to be some logic in our thesis sentence. It cannot be contradictory or meaningless because it will be hindering its subsequent verification.
Now that we know what a good THESIS have to take into account we can proceed to answer our questions:
6. The local sheriff is giving a speech to warn teenagers about the dangers of sexting. Here is his thesis for the speech:
If you sext, the wrong person can see your photographs. How should the sheriff revise this thesis statement?
The correct option is A: THE SHERIFF’S THESIS IS TOO SPECULATIVE because, following our three main rules, it is not totally ascertainable. The explanation is related to the fact that it is not a rule that if you sext, it will be a person that you don’t want seeing your photos. To fix its thesis the sheriff could be working in reformulating it considering its consistency and testability.
7. Elizabeth needs to analyze a web site in order to make recommendations for a redesign. Consider her working thesis statement:
The web site discourages deeper exploration because too few elements lead to pages within the site and too many elements compete for attention. How should Elizabeth revise this thesis statement?
The correct option is A: SHE SHOULD MAKE HER THESIS MORE BLAND AND OBVIOUS because doing it involves that she has to attend the specificity of its phrase. We can see that in her case she has already found two problems:
1. The web site is not working in order to encourage costumers
2. Too many elements compete for attention
These two problems could be considered as its general objectives because they are what she wants to change, so its general thesis has to be more OBVIOUS understanding this word as PUNCTUAL and CONSISTENT.
8. Gary is working on an assignment explaining the importance of using seat belts. Here is a draft of his thesis statement:
Being safe in the car is an important practice. How should Gary revise the thesis statement?
The correct answer is A: HE SHOULD NARROW IT because although we all know that it is important being safe it is an important practice, there are so many practices that we can do to make it possible, using seat belts is just one of them. So he should specify since the beginning that he will be talking about the use of seatbelts.
9. Ling has decided that she wants to quit her job She is working on her letter of resignation. Consider her working thesis statement:
I cannot wait to be free from this job. Which of the following options is the best revision of the thesis statement?
The correct option is C: BECAUSE OF THE HOURS THAT I AM FORCED TO WORK, I AM QUITTING; the explanation is related to the freedom concept that suggests us that she is not happy with her work’s schedule. What she needs to do is to make her thesis more specific, this implies that she needs to add the reason why she’s quitting.
10. Humberto needs to contact Amazon about problems with his order. Consider his working thesis statement for his e-mail of complaint: It was broken. What is the most effective revision of this statement?
The correct option is B: MY EXPEDITED ORDER (#123456789) FOT HE AMAZON FIRE WAS BROKEN WHEN IT ARRIVED, AND I NEED A NEW ONE WITH FREE EXPEDITED SHIPPING. This thesis meets the 3 main characteristics that we had enunciated: to be punctual, to be ascertainable and to be consistent. Just reading it we know all what he needs to receive from Amazon and what was the initial problem.

In Guy de Maupassant's "Two Friends," which answer below best describes Sauvage and Morissot’s friendship?
a) Sauvage and Morissot are the kind of friends who are soulmates. They do not have to hold long conversations, discussions, and arguments to truly bond. Maupissant writes, “Some days they did not speak. Sometimes they did; but they understood one another admirably without saying anything because they had similar tastes and responded to their surroundings in exactly the same way" (Maupassant, 2012, p. 1234).
b) Sauvage and Morissot’s friendship transcends death, and their deep relationship is evident in the manner in which they die. Morissot “stammered, ‘Farewell, Monsieur Sauvage.’ M. Sauvage answered, ‘Farewell, Monsieur Morissot.’ They shook hands, trembling from head to foot with a shudder which they could not control" (Maupassant, 2012, p. 1239).
c) Sauvage and Morissot set out to be heroes, and they made their country proud. They were highly politicized soldiers as is evident by their statements, “’Folks sure are stupid to kill one another like that.’ M. Sauvage answered, ‘They’re worse than animals'" ( (Maupassant, 2012, p. 1237).
d) The two men have been friends all their lives. They are honored to die together for the good of their country. The reader knows this based on the following lines: “'That’s life for you,' opined M. Sauvage."
"You’d better say ‘That’s death for you,’ laughed Morissot" (Maupassant, 2012, p. 1238).
Answer: A. Sauvage and Morissot are the kind of friends who are soulmates. They do not have to hold long conversations, discussions, and arguments to truly bond. Maupassant writes,
“Some days they did not speak. Sometimes they did; but they understood one another admirably without saying anything because they had similar tastes and responded to their surroundings in exactly the same way" (Maupassant).

This question is based on the following paragraph. In American society, romantic love is considered the main reason for people to marry. On the other hand, in some societies, romantic love is considered a form of obsession or madness. In fact, even in many societies where "true love" is not considered a form of insanity, arranged marriages are still the norm. For example, in many cultures it's believed that marriage is basically an economic arrangement. Thus, a farmer needs a wife both to bear children and to share the farm work while raising new "hands" as additional farm labor. In other societies, marriage is mainly about cementing connections between families. Indeed, most marriages between members of European royal or aristocratic lineages were primarily aimed at creating trust, loyalty, and mutual obligations between privileged and powerful families.

In 'Infinite Jest', the pervasive character versus society conflict illuminates themes of complex self-identity, the contradiction of double aims, and societal limitations. The characters' struggles reflect wider societal issues, offering a critique of the constraints society might impose on individual growth and diversity.
Explanation:In Infinite Jest, a recurring conflict is the character versus society dynamic. Central to the narrative is the concept of the individual against societal norms, pressures, and expectations. The character's struggles showcase the author's themes of diversity, individuality, and the consequence of societal pressures.
One of the main themes is that life needs to be complex, with "infinite versions" of the self, ranging from executives to garbage collectors. Society often imposes constraints and expectations that limit this complexity, which the author challenges and critiques.
Another theme evident in this conflict is the "contradiction of double aims". As the characters strive for personal development and societal acceptance, they often face conflicting aims.
In conclusion, readers might infer that the characters' struggles against society are reflections of wider societal issues, and provide commentary on the limitations society might impose on individual growth and diversity.
