What theme of "The Black Ball" depends on having a Modernist narrator - a narrator with the power to change his society?
The theme of "The Black Ball" that depends on having a Modernist narrator is that it is not good to be behind the black ball (eight ball) in pool, and in life, African Americans needed to play a game like pool, just to stay out of trouble. The ball is white represents who had a nice life and had the power because whites had all the power, yet with the changing times, the ball’s color might change too, just like the discrimination because Caucasians and African Americans.
Answer:
The themes “care for the next generation gives a person courage to work for change” and “American ideas of freedom and equality should apply to all people, regardless of the color of their skin” are two major themes of “The Black Ball” that are dependent upon having a Modernist narrator. Both of these themes challenge some of the accepted inequalities in society at the time and demand change, two aspects of Modernism. Having a Modernist narrator who is at odds with society and these accepted inequalities allows for the story to progress by having the narrator challenge these beliefs rather than accepting his fate. These ideas are very representative of Modernist beliefs and the narrators decisions to change the course of his life and his son's life wouldn’t be possible without a Modernist narrator with the power to change his society.

Which of the following lines from saboteur best indicates that the lunch hour will be a source of trouble for me. Chiu
The best option indicating that the lunch hour will be a source of trouble for Mr. Chiu is option 3 because "The air smelled of rotten melons. A few flies kept buzzing about the couple's lunch."
This line suggests that the environment where Mr. Chiu is having lunch is not hygienic or pleasant. The smell of rotten melons indicates spoilage, and the presence of flies suggests unsanitary conditions. These factors can contribute to discomfort and potential health hazards during lunch, indicating trouble for Mr. Chiu.
Let's go through the other options to understand why they are incorrect:
1. The 1st option describes what's on the table during lunch, but it doesn't necessarily indicate trouble for Mr. Chiu. While the soda spewing out foam might hint at something amiss, it's not as directly indicative of trouble as the presence of rotten smells and flies.
2. The 2nd option describes Mr. Chiu's physical reaction to eating, but it doesn't directly suggest trouble during lunch. The "crinkles" on his jaw might imply discomfort or dissatisfaction with the food, but it doesn't necessarily indicate broader trouble during the lunch hour.
4. The 4th option describes the atmosphere around Mr. Chiu's lunch spot, but it doesn't directly indicate trouble for him during the lunch hour. It merely sets the scene of vendors calling for customers and doesn't specifically relate to Mr. Chiu's experience.
The complete question is:
Which of the following lines from "Saboteur" best indicates that the lunch hour will be a source of trouble for Mr. Chiu?
1. "On the table between them were two bottles of soda spewing out brown foam and two paper boxes of rice and sautéed cucumber and pork."
2. "He picked up a slice of streaky pork and put it into his mouth. As he was chewing, a few crinkles appeared on his thin jaw"
3. "The air smelled of rotten melons. A few flies kept buzzing about the couple's lunch."
4. "Food and fruit vendors were crying for customers in lazy voices."
Which statement best describes the impact the underlined description has on the meaning if this sentence
"I understood that the world was nothing" is a very melancholic or hopeless way of seeing the world.
"a mechanical chaos of casual, brute enmity" is a phrase that keeps this feeling of hopelessness; since, after all, it's all chaos.
"on which we stupidly impose our hopes and fears" is how it ends, by adding even more hopelessness to the thought, since what we wish to achieve is pure stupidity in the chaos of the world.
Which brings us to the correct answer:
D. The word choice conveys a negative and hopeless view of the world
Which of the following passages provides the best example of imagery? a.

"Thou, silent form, dost tease us out of thought / As doth eternity: Cold Pastoral!" d. "Beauty is truth, truth beauty,--that is all / Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know."
Answer: a. "To what green altar, O mysterious priest, / Lead'st thou that heifer lowing at the skies, / And all her silken flanks with garlands dressed?"
Explanation: Of all options, this is the passage that carries the most words with sensory descriptions, mostly visual ones: we read of a green altar, a priest, a heifer lowing at the skies "dressed" with garlands. All the other options are more concerned with action and discourse than with imagery.

How does the chef justify the theft of the professors briefcase and identity?
Final answer:
Thieves in varied scenarios justify theft through rationalizations tied to knowledge, power, and political gain. The stolen items—be it a briefcase, identity, or a compromising document—grant the thief a perceived benefit, such as influence or intelligent apprehension.
Explanation:
Justification for theft often involves a complex web of reasoning and rationalization, particularly when identity and influence are at stake. In the cases provided, the thieves justify their actions through various means, such as claiming the power of knowledge, exerting influence, or for the prospect of political gain. For instance, the theft of a professor's briefcase and identity is justified through the concept that once something is stolen, even ideas or dogma, the thief knows it by conjecture and can then claim intelligent apprehension upon becoming a disciple. In another scenario, a Minister justifies theft by the influence it grants over another, whereby possessing a compromising document gives him ascendancy over a person of high station.
The theft from the treasury is similarly justified by the thief's father's delight. Ultimately, these rationalizations for theft intertwine with desires for power, knowledge, and control, where the moral implications are overshadowed by the benefits perceived by the perpetrator.

The woolly mammoth, an ancestor of the modern-day elephant, thrived millions of years ago. (1) When it first appeared, the world was very different than it is today. Much of the land was frozen, which is why the mammoth needed its thick, warm coat of shaggy hair. (2) Despite the cold, there was a great deal of vegetation, which the huge animals ate abundantly. Mammoths were well suited for their environment. Their population thrived in many of the coldest places of the world, such as Alaska and Siberia. Around 10,000 years ago, however, something changed dramatically. (3) Mammoths began to quickly disappear. Today, scientists are unsure of the exact cause of this. "Some speculate the climate began to change quickly, interfering with the mammoths' lifestyles and food supply," noted Dr. Yuri Fedorsky, a Russian archeologist. "Others think a terrible disease might have swept across the population. Still others point to the idea that people hunted the animals to extinction." Some mammoths lived on isolated islands until about 4,000 years ago; however, they are all extinct today. (4)Elephants, their closest ancestor, tend to live in warmer climates because they lack the thick fur of the mammoths. Which sentence is not relevant to the paragraph and should be deleted?

Answer:
hi there!
Explanation:
Explain the difference between hourly wage, salary , contract wage,and commission wage
