Answer:

The body and the picture change roles.

Explanation:

The except belongs to Body art/performing the Subject, written by Amelia Jones, an American art historian and curator, among many others and it discusses about the role of the body in art in different aspects.

In the excerpt, the author meant that the photography itself turns into the body, and the body becomes its own representation through this process. We can see it when she says that the body itself could be "supplementary". In a few words, the author tried to explain how the representation turns into the subject and the subject changes to be a part of it, and not an own self; the subject is supplemented through the picture.

Answer:

D. Compound sentence                                

Explanation:

Answer:

A. Simple sentence.

Explanation:

Look at the sentence. The author/writer of this excerpt tells you directly the setting (explicit setting). In a more complex piece of writing, the author would give you some clues in the text to make you guess the setting and where this is taking place. The conflict of Antwan getting bored and lost in the park was told to the reader (you) very directly. A good writer would give you clues in the surrounding text to make it all sound more interesting. For example, it could have been, "As Antwan was roaming the different flower gardens and plains and forests, his body ached like a tired ox and he wished he could be back home in his bed with a mug of coffee. He yawned as he felt sticky mud grip his shoes. Noticing he did not know where he was at this point, Antwan tried getting back to the Visitor Center." This shows that this sentence is very simple.

EX: Chewbacca, Dolby

Explanation of two archetypes, the Hero and the Mentor, with examples from literature and art.

Archetypes are original models representing types of characters or themes found in literature and art. Here are two archetypes:

Question 1:

Answer:  Thesis statement: "A healthy teenager in the US state of South Carolina died from drinking several highly-caffeinated drinks too quickly, a coroner has ruled."

Explanation:

A thesis statement contains the main point of a text, the topic upon which the whole discussion is based. In this text, the whole point is that a healthy teenager died because of drinking a bit more caffeine than he should over a short period of time.

The idea is that if he hadn't drunk that quantity of caffeine in such a short period of time, he wouldn't have died, because the effect of caffeine on his body during that short period was the problem, not the caffeine itself.

The other choices are statements which either explain or support the thesis statement.

Question 2:

Answer: To inform the reader about the recent death of a teenager who consumed a large amount of caffeine in a short period of time

Explanation:

The purpose of this article was to inform readers about the death of a teenager, which was caused by caffeine intake in a short period of time.

The other choices are incorrect, because the articles does not seek to explain the effects of caffeine on the human body, it just presents this situation and the coroner's statement.

Similarly, the reader is not persuaded to not consume caffeine - the reader just finds out about this particular information. The purpose of the article is rather to pursue the reader to not consume caffeine in a short period of time than to not consume caffeine at all.

The thesis statement in the article is 'A healthy teenager in the US state of South Carolina died from drinking several highly-caffeinated drinks too quickly, a coroner has ruled.'

The thesis statement in this article is:

'A healthy teenager in the US state of South Carolina died from drinking several highly-caffeinated drinks too quickly, a coroner has ruled.'

This statement can be identified as the thesis statement because it presents the main point or argument of the article, which is the death of a teenager due to consuming too much caffeine.

Answer:

B. ​Early, now, reluctantly.

Explanation:

Adverbs are those words or groups of words that help change/ modify or add meaning to the verbs in a sentence. They may not always be needed in a sentence but if they are in any sentence, they will always add to the verb of the sentence, either changing the form or adding to the already existing verb.

In the sentence-

Some​ baby-boomers who retired early now find themselves reluctantly looking for another job

The verbs are "retired, find, looking".

Now, the words associated with these particular verbs are "early, now, reluctantly".

Early tells the 'when' of the verb 'retire', 'now' tells the 'when' of the verb 'find' and 'reluctantly' acts both as an adverb and an adjective to the 'how' of the verb 'looking'.

Thus, the adverbs in the sentence are "Early, now, reluctantly".

Answer:

Some things only need one thing to live, food. While others like us humans need more than one thing to live. We can not fully live in the prospect of freedom until we have gained all of the necessaries of life.

Some things merely require nourishment to survive. whereas some people, like us, require multiple things to survive. Until we have acquired all of the necessities of life, we cannot completely live in the hope of freedom.

The central focus of Henry David Thoreau's essay "Walden" is discovering one's life's purpose. He went out to reflect on himself, his life, and his position in the cosmos.

In b, Thoreau recounts his experiences while residing in a cabin he built close to Walden Pond in Ralph Waldo Emerson's woodland in Concord, Massachusetts, for a period of two years, two months, and two days.

Both as a notable piece of nature writing and as a philosophical essay on work, play, freedom, and individualism, Walden is highly respected. It is thought to be Thoreau's pinnacle accomplishment.

Thus, Some things merely require nourishment to survive.

Answer:

The answer is $74.25.

Explanation:

Since she earns $6.75 an hour, we need to multiple this amount with a number of hours she worked.

So on Monday she earned: 2h × $6.75 = $13.5

On Tuesday she earned: 5h × $6.75 = $33.75

On Thursday she earned: 4h × $6.75 = $27

This means that for a whole week she earned: $13.5 + $33.75 + $27 = $74.25

Another way to calculate this as to find  the number of hours she worked and multiple it with her vague per hour ($6.75)

So, two hours on Monday + five hours on Tuesday + four hours on Thursday equals 11 hours.

Finally 11h × $6.75 = $74.25

Answer:

Mr. Wolfshiem

Explanation:

The was extracted from The Great Gatsby a Novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Nick and Gatsby saw Mr. Wolfshiem

Mr. Wolfshiem decided to leave Nick and Gatsby alone to talk after he (Mr. Wolfshiem) finished his lunch.

Though, Gatsby told him not to be in haste (to leave), Mr. Wolfshiem declined.

What Mr. Wolfshiem meant by being "from a different generation" is that, he was much older that Nick and Gatsby (he later on stated this, when he said he was 50 years old)

Mr. Wolfshiem appreciated that he was invited to lunch and he also made it known that he didn't really care to impose on Gatsby's chat with Nick about their discussion

Final answer:

The quote illustrates a sense of generational divide in F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby, but it is not directly linked to a scene with Nick and Gatsby in a restaurant.

Explanation:

The quote "I belong to another generation....You sit...and discuss your sports and your young ladies....As for me, I am fifty years old, and I won't impose myself on you any longer." is from F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby. The characters Nick and Gatsby did not see the person who spoke this line in a restaurant; rather, this statement reflects a sentiment that could be attributed to a character like Nick's cousin Daisy's husband, Tom Buchanan, who feels out of place among Gatsby and his younger acquaintances. This line expresses a generational divide and a sense of not belonging in the company of those who are younger and involved in different interests.

Answer:

A ring hope this helps

Explanation:

Jane Eyre recognized the disguised Mr. Rochester, who she initially thought was a gypsy, not by physical traits, but rather through his deep knowledge of her character and the familiarity of his voice and language style.

The question pertains to a scene in Charlotte Bronte's novel, Jane Eyre, where a disguised person whom Jane initially perceives as a gypsy visits Thornfield Hall. Jane recognized the gypsy as Mr. Rochester, not by the gypsy's accent, a ring, cufflink, or the gypsy's nose, but rather through Mr. Rochester's personality and mannerisms seeping through his disguise. Hence, the identification is more psychological than physical.

Throughout their interaction, Mr. Rochester, disguised as the gypsy, displays deep insight into Jane's character and past - something only a close acquaintance like Mr. Rochester would have known. Also, Mr. Rochester's distinct voice and language style, despite his attempt to disguise it, are noticeable to Jane. Ultimately, the familiarity of these elements makes her realize that the gypsy was, in fact, Mr. Rochester.

The "web" that is mentioned in the passage refers to the burial shroud woven by Penelope as a way of delaying her need to chose a new husband among the many suitors.

Explanation:

Homer's epic narrative "The Odyssey" tells the story of how Odysseus had been gone from his home for about two decades. His wife had been pestered continuously by the men in the kingdom of Ithaca to remarry and make a new king, for her husband Odysseus had been gone for a long time.

But the cunning Penelope made a plea that she be allowed to weave a burial shroud for her father in law Leartes, who's grown old. She agreed to marry one of the suitors when she finished the shroud. But through cunning and bravery, she would weave the shroud during the day but undo it at night so that the weaving cannot be ever finished until she is sure that Odysseus is back or confirmed dead.

C

Explanation:

Hindsight bias or knew-it-all phenomenon refers to a tendency for people to think about events. When an event happens, people believe that they would have predicted or have known the outcome of the event. It is a result of overconfidence about our prediction ability.

Here, although Niaz has had no hint to know what may happen, he believes that it was predictable.

Niaz's conviction that his car breaking down was predictable, despite no foreknowledge, is an example of hindsight bias, where events are falsely perceived as having been predictable after they occur.

Niaz's car breaking down and his belief that it was a predictable event even though there was no prior knowledge that it would happen exemplifies hindsight bias. Hindsight bias is the tendency to believe, after an event has occurred, that one would have or could have predicted the event beforehand. It is a common cognitive bias where individuals see events as more predictable after they have happened, giving them a false sense of prediction accuracy.
