The man's mistake in building the second fire was lighting it under a snow-laden spruce tree, which subsequently led to the snow falling and extinguishing the fire.

The mistake the man makes in building the second fire is that he fails to recognize the danger of lighting the fire under a spruce tree laden with snow. His initial success creates a false sense of security, which leads to a fatal oversight. When he pulls twigs from the tree, he causes the snow to fall, extinguishing the fire and sealing his fate in the freezing conditions. Despite knowing the importance of keeping his feet dry and the fire lit in the extreme cold, he underestimates the environment and overestimates his own abilities, ignoring the wisdom of the old-timer.

Ethos, pathos, and logos are rhetorical appeals used to persuade an audience. Ethos appeals to credibility, pathos appeals to emotions, and logos appeals to logic and reason.

Explanation:

Ethos, pathos, and logos are rhetorical appeals used to persuade an audience. Ethos is the appeal to credibility and trustworthiness of the speaker or source. Pathos is the appeal to the emotions and feelings of the audience. Logos is the appeal to logic and reason, using facts, evidence, and examples to support an argument.

In Question 1, 'As a doctor, I am qualified to tell you that this course of treatment will likely generate the best results,' the doctor is appealing to their authority and expertise to establish credibility (ethos).

In Question 2, 'Research compiled by analysts from NASA, as well as organizations from five other nations with space programs, suggests that a moon colony is viable with international support,' the use of credible research and data appeals to logic and reason (logos).

In Question 3, 'More than one hundred peer-reviewed studies have been conducted over the past decade, and none of them suggests that this is an effective treatment for hair loss,' the mention of multiple peer-reviewed studies appeals to logic and reason (logos).

In Question 4, 'If my age doesn’t convince you that I know what I'm talking about, at least consider that I am your grandfather and I only want the best for you,' the appeals to authority and emotional connection appeal to both ethos and pathos.

In Question 5, 'Where would we be without this tradition? Ever since our forefathers landed at Plymouth Rock, we’ve celebrated Thanksgiving without fail, making more than cherished recipes. We’ve made memories,' the emotional appeal to tradition and shared history appeals to pathos.

In Question 6, 'Our expertise in roofing contracting is evidenced not only by our 50 years in the business and our staff of qualified technicians, but in the decades of satisfied customers who have come to expect nothing but the best,' the appeal to experience and testimonials appeals to ethos.

In Question 7, 'You will never be satisfied in life if you don’t seize this opportunity. Do you want to live the rest of your years yearning to know what would have happened if you just jumped when you had the chance?' the appeal to fear and regret appeals to pathos.

Answer:

Many words that we use in English have Greek roots. This is usually because many Greek concepts (especially those of science, philosophy and art) were adopted by the Romans, and then passed on to Romance languages. These words then passed to English due to French influence.

A: International spy

I'd say the answer is A. International Spy.

The definition of the word "furtive" is, "characterized by, acting with, or suggesting stealth or a desire to avoid discovery; surreptitious".

I don't quite think that a produce manager needs to be stealthy or desire to avoid discovery, nor a mother-to-be. But if you are an international spy, you wouldn't quite want to get spotted/caught.

The metaphor you are looking for is “My love is such that rivers cannot quench”

The metaphor is used in the sentence as an implied comparison. As in the present verse. there is an implicit comparison of “my love” with fire. Thus by saying that even a large amount of water like “rivers” cannot quench my love reveals that the poet’s love is everlasting and it remains substantial.

The correct answer is "... Although my French windows face towards Ottershaw and the blind was up... I saw nothing of it."

The quotation clearly states that both the object (Ottershaw) and the narrator are in opposite sides of a window, which lies between them.

The other options cannot be correct since:

In the second quotation, the object is the night sky, and its location can be considered to be up. However, the location from which the narrator observes the object is unclear.

In the third quotation, the identity of the object itself is unclear, defining it as this strangest of all things. Nevertheless, its location is set as the earth, and outer space as the place of provinence. The narrator states its location to be "there", which creates an ambiguity issue - not specifying the location to be the earth or outer space.

The quotation indicating the narrator's study facing Ottershaw and the falling celestial object provides the clearest detail of both the narrator and object's locations.

The quotation that most clearly reveals the locations of both the object and the narrator is: "I was at home at that hour and writing in my study; and although my French windows face towards Ottershaw and the blind was up (for I loved in those days to look up at the night sky), I saw nothing of it. Yet this strangest of all things that ever came to earth from outer space must have fallen while I was sitting there, visible to me had I only looked up as it passed."

This excerpt provides specific details: the narrator was in their study with the French windows facing towards Ottershaw, indicating the narrator's location, and references to an object from outer space that would have been visible, pinpointing the object's trajectory as it fell to earth.

Option 1 “It highlights how the number and the complexity of the tasks that one must master to play an instrument spurs brain growth.” is the statement that best explains the idea that studying music can help develop the brain. In this paragraph, the focus is on how performing several tasks at the same time when playing an instrument help you develop certain skills such as coordination, muscular movement and senses awareness. By developing several skills both parts of the brain, right and left, are being exercised.  

Option 2 is not correct as it does not identify which part of the brain is affected. Instead, it makes emphasis on how both parts are interconnected when studying music.

Option 3 is incorrect since the paragraph mentions a scientific source to back up the main idea, so it is mentioned as an example.

Answer:

The answer is C

Explanation:

Participles can be classified in past and present; for example:  

With regular verbs such as help:

Present Participle: Helping

Past Participle: Helped

With irregular verbs such as bring:

Present participle: Bringing

Past participle: Brought  

Then, option 5 (Adjective complement) is not correct because participles can be used as adjectives for example in this sentence:

The walking men  

But the function of the participle walking would be pre-modifier of the noun men, not adjective complement.  

The correct options are object of a preposition (2), subject (6) and indirect object (7) and the participles in these cases are used as noun. Whenever a present participle is functioning as a noun, it is called gerund.  For example:

Marcus decided to shut up instead of criticizing his friend. (Object of a preposition)

Running exhausts John (Subject)

We gave bungee jumping a chance (Indirect object)
