cause and effect
sequential/chronological
problem and solution
compare and contrast
The most suitable method of organization for an essay on remedies for the common cold is problem and solution, allowing clear identification of the issue and presentation of remedies as solutions.
If you were writing an essay on remedies for the common cold, the most effective method of organization for this essay would likely be the problem and solution structure. This approach allows you to identify the common cold as a problem and then present various remedies as solutions. By laying out the essay in this way, you can easily guide readers through understanding the issue at hand and then learning about different ways to address it. Sequential/chronological organization could also work if you want to discuss the historical development of remedies, while compare and contrast could be useful if contrasting different methods of treatment. Cause and effect might be less suitable unless focusing on the causes of the common cold and the effects of the various remedies.
Behind us rose a dark and forbidding wood of giant arborescent ferns intermingled with the commoner types of a primeval tropical forest. Huge creepers depended in great loops from tree to tree, dense under-brush overgrew a tangled mass of fallen trunks and branches. Upon the outer verge we could see the same splendid coloring of countless blossoms that glorified the islands, but within the dense shadows all seemed dark and gloomy as the grave. In this paragraph, the word "forbidding" means the same as A) controversial. B) promising. C) forgotten. D) ominous.
Answer:
D) Ominous
Explanation:
Omninious is defined as something that is or exhibits an omen. Omen refers to a sign a person believes shows good or bad things could happen in the future. The way the author describes the forest makes us think that it is mysterious. Although it is beautifil and filled with vegetation, the phrase "dense shadows" gives us the sensation that something could easily emerge from there. The use of the words "dark" and "gloomy" make reference to a scary place where people would be frigthened.
We can see that ominious refers then to the belief of the author that something bad could happen in that forest. The same thing happens with the word forbidding, as it describes something dangerous or hostile.
HURRY!!!!!!!!!!
A(n) __________ phrase can only function as an adjective.
A) infinitive
B) participial
C) gerund
D) objective
Answer: B) Participle
Explanation: Participle phrases always use a present participle or past participle form of a verb combined with objects or modifiers to describe a noun (e.g., Passengers flying in first class are usually wealthy; I saw a piece of food stuck in his teeth). Since they can only affect nouns or noun phrases (passengers and piece of food, respectively), their function is always that of an adjective.

I have studied many times The marble which was chiseled for me-- A boat with a furled sail at rest in a harbor. In truth it pictures not my destination But my life. For love was offered me and I shrank from its disillusionment; Sorrow knocked at my door, but I was afraid; Ambition called to me, but I dreaded the chances. Yet all the while I hungered for meaning in my life. And now I know that we must lift the sail And catch the winds of destiny Wherever they drive the boat. To put meaning in one's life may end in madness, But life without meaning is the torture Of restlessness and vague desire-- It is a boat longing for the sea and yet afraid. Which statement BEST expresses the theme of the poem? A) To live life fully, one must take risks. B) No matter how hard we try, our lives are ruled by fate. C) Searching for meaning inevitably leads to disappointment. D) Only the strong survive; the weak are destined to failure.
Hint: the poet is not concerned with the weak and the strong.
to live life fully, one must take risks. The speaker realizes that he took no emotional, intellectual,or physical risks during his life consequently, although he was unscathed, his life was devoid of meaning.

Consider the excerpt and theme from Gilgamesh: A New English Version. Enkidu said, "Don't worry, my friend, the dream you had is a favorable one. The eagle that you saw, with a lion's head, stands for Humbaba. Though it dived straight toward you and terrifying flames shot from its mouth, nothing could cause you harm. The young man who came to your rescue was our lord, Shamash. He will stand beside us when the monster attacks. Whatever happens, we will prevail." Gilgamesh, happy with his good dream, smiled, and his face lit up with pleasure. Theme One: Dreams have valuable meanings. What other theme is addressed in the excerpt? Imaginary monsters pose no threat. People can depend on their god(s). One must be prepared for battle. Happiness leads to great success.
The correct answer is B.
