Final answer:
Determining the climax of the wife's greed in the story depends on the progression of her desires, with the peak likely being her wish to have power over the moon and sun, symbolizing ultimate power.
Explanation:
The climax of a character's greed, particularly in stories with a moral or lesson about the consequences of such greed, is typically the point where their desires reach the highest peak, often leading to their downfall or a significant change. In the context provided, without the specifics of the story or character progression, it's challenging to pinpoint the exact moment that reflects the climax of the wife's greed. The options given suggest a progression of power from being a king to an emperor, then to a religious authority as a pope, and lastly to a supernatural level, where she desires to have power over the very elements, the moon and the sun. This last desire to control celestial bodies could likely symbolize the peak of her greed, as it represents an impossible and ultimate form of power.

Read the passage.
Rovers are the best way to explore other planets. By sending rovers into space, we can learn about the universe without having to send people. Rovers are good at gathering information and measuring the planet they are on. They are also much more durable than humans and can survive much longer on a foreign planet. They are expensive to make, but the information they send back to Earth is worth the money it takes to build them.
Which statement best defends the author’s claim with additional evidence?
A) The Curiosity rover cost more than two billion dollars to design.
B) Rovers are interesting because of how their wheels are constructed.
C) Rovers are named by the scientists at NASA when they are completed.
D) The Curiosity rover will be able to explore Mars for up to 10 years.
Answer:
D) The Curiosity rover will be able to explore Mars for up to 10 years
Explanation:
In the passage it didn't mention what the actual price was, it just hinted that it was expensive to make.
It didn't say anything about how the wheel are constructed, nor who they were named by.
It did however say that Rovers are good at measuring the planet that they are on (so they can measure planets other than Earth) and they are much more durable than humans and can survive longer on a foreign planet (so they will be able to explore Mars for longer than a human could, which in this case is 10 years.)
Answer:

Explanation:
The Curiosity rover will be able to explore Mars for up to 10 years.

read this sentence from the odyssey
They sung aboard at once, they sat to the oars in ranks and in rhythm churned the water white with stroke on stroke.
which statement best describes how figurative language is used in the sentence
A. "oars in ranks" let us hear the sound of the oars against the side of the boat.
B. "swung aboard at once" lets us feel the movement of the boat.
C. "churned the water white" lets us see how hard and fast the men are rowing.
D. "in rhythm" lets us hear the musical sound of oars
Answer:
The answer is C. "churned the water white" lets us see how hard and fast the men are rowing.
Explanation:
When you observe a boat or ferry moving fast on water, it leaves a white trail behind. Or a consistent fast disturbance on a body of water, the water tends to look white. This is due to the fast movement on water.
In the excerpt above, "churning the water white" alludes to a similar situation. They used their oars to row, with consistent, hard, fast strokes as described with "stroke on stroke".
Thus, in the sentence above, "churned the water white" lets us see how hard and fast the men are rowing.

Did I use this semi-colon correctly? If not what is a good alternative since its already a fairly wordy sentence? Only real answers please, I don't need suggestions to websites or apps that help with this. Anyways, here is the text:
"Whether that be Jack London illustrating the complete indifference that Nature views our lives with or Kate Chopin giving her audience a glance into the oppressive nature of many relationships at that time; These pieces of literature have given our society the outside perspective that many of us need."
Answer:
Hey I get why ya doubted yourself but the semi colon works.
Explanation:
Let me explain:
So with the two sentences you have if you had used a period the sentences wouldn't have connected as well. And since the first sentence connects to the second by trying to explain how the literature has changed perspective for society it just flows better.
I mean in my opinion the semi colon just works better than a period or comma. It allows a breath to read the second sentence but indicates that the second sentence is what makes the first sentence work.
What are some similarities and differences between James and the Giant Peach and The Phantom Tollbooth?
Please, I really need help! Thanks everyone!
Answer: They are both children stories. The difference is they were written by different writers and in Phantom Tollbooth, Milo had a mission and learnt from it while in James and the Giant Peach, James dropped magic crystals on the floor that grew the peach tree.
Explanation:
Firstly, 'James and the Giant Peach' was like all Dahl's books a way to entertain a child through sensations. The essence of the book is to make the reader almost physically taste peach while reading about it. Most especially the scene where the peach rolls last a “chocolate factory” with a chocolate river. The Phantom Tollbooth is also a children fantasy adventure novel. It helps children learn many things and it is for education and boredom.
The Phantom Tollbooth narrates the story of a bored young boy named Milo who unexpectedly receives a magic tollbooth one afternoon and, having nothing better to do, drives through it in his toy car, conveying him to the Kingdom of Wisdom, once prosperous but now troubled. In the kingdom, he acquired two faithful companions and went on a mission to restore to the kingdom its princesses on exile named Rhyme and Reason from the Castle in the Air. In the process, he learns important lessons, finding a love of learning.
In James and the Giant Peach, James also gained knowledge about the peach tree that grew. Although in both stories, the actors learnt in different ways.

Explanation:
1. How is the behavior of the characters linked to the hottest day of the summer? 2. What does Tom discover that unnerves him, and how does he discover it? 3. What does Gatsby understood about Daisy’s voice that Nick does not? 4. In what cars do the five of them travel into the city?
1. How is the behavior of the characters linked to the hottest day of the summer?
Answer: The hot weather symbolizes the tension between the characters and foreshadows the conflict that will ensue.
Explanation:
In "the Great Gatsby", F.Scott Fitzgerald's novel, Jay Gatsby is desperately in love with Daisy, his ex-girlfriend. Although Daisy is a married woman now and a mother, Gatsby does everything he can to get her attention - he throws parties, arranges their meetings, etc.
The story of the love triangle that includes Daisy, Gatsby and Daisy's husband, Tom, reaches its climax in Chapter 7. On the hottest day of the summer, there is a lunch at Tom and Daisy's house, which is where the tension starts to grow. Everyone is on edge.
2. What does Tom discover that unnerves him, and how does he discover it?
Answer: Tom discovers that there is something going on between Daisy and Gatsby. His theory is confirmed when he sees the two of them exchanging looks.
Explanation:
At Tom and Daisy's house, Gatsby and Daisy's feelings for one another become quite obvious. Bored, Daisy proposes that Gatsby and her go to the city. The two of them look at each other passionately, which all serves as a sign for Tom that something is, indeed, going on between the two of them. Tom is stressed out upon this discovery, and he proposes that all of them, including Nick and Jordan, should go to the city together.
3. What does Gatsby understood about Daisy’s voice that Nick does not?
Answer: Gatsby understood that her voice is "full of money." She does not know how it feels to be poor, which is reflected both in her voice and behavior.
Explanation:
In Chapter 7, Nick is trying to figure out why he is so fascinated about Daisy's voice. Nick is unable to reach any conclusion, until Gatsby describes her voice as "full of money." What this actually means is that her voice reflects her personality - she is used to having money and does not even know how it feels to be poor. Unlike Gatsby and Nick who had to struggle to gain wealth (and Nick still does), Daisy has always been rich and financially secure. As it will turn out at the end of the novel, to Daisy, money is more important than love. She would rather stay with the man she does not love and blame Myrtle's murder on Gatsby, than admit fault.
4. In what cars do the five of them travel into the city?
Answer: Gatsby and Daisy take Tom's blue coupe, while Tom, Nick and Jordan take Gatsby's yellow car.
Explanation:
As mentioned before, in Chapter 7, on the hottest day of the summer, Tom suggests that the five of them - Gatsby, Daisy, Jordan, Nick and him - go to the city together. The tension between the love triangle increases. Tom, Nick and Jordan take Gatsby's car, while Daisy and Gatsby take Tom's car. They all end up in an apartment at the Plaza Hotel, where Tom and Gatsby start to argue.

In the context of Internet content that some countries prohibit, discuss how the "responsibility to prevent access" differs from the "authority to prevent entry". (A) Define "responsibility to prevent access" in your own words (B) Define "authority to prevent entry" in your own words (C) Discuss how one differs from the other (D) Provide examples
Answer:
What would Noam Chomsky have said?
Explanation:
Noam Chomsky probably would have said that responsibility sounds better than authority but it actually means the same: internet censorship.
A The term responsibility gives moral ground to the person or authority: in plain English it says that, because internet is not good for you, we decided to protect you from it.
B Authority doesn´t sound that nice and, as all parents know, is very often contraproductive. But powerful regimes probably don´t care.
C The two terms differ in the sense that - as Noam Chomsky explained in Keeping the rabble in line - responsibility to prevent access is more likely to be accepted by the general public than authority to etc.
D A pre-internet example is the attempts of the Sovjet Union to keep The Beatles away from Russian youth.
An internet example is preventing access to topics that might put in danger the control of the authoritarian regime.

Which sentence in this excerpt from “Behold the Brooklyn Bridge” best shows the narrator’s young and naïve perspective?
The sentence that best shows the narrator's young and naive perspective is: "I gasped quietly when I saw the enormous expansion before me."
The statement "I gasped quietly when I saw the enormous expansion before me" accurately depicts the narrator's impressionable youth and naiveté.
The term "gasped" expresses the narrator's genuine surprise and shock upon seeing the bridge. The adverb "quietly" suggests awe, rendering the narrator silent for a brief while.
This reaction reflects the narrator's youth and lack of past exposure to such grandeur, emphasizing the narrator's immature and inexperienced perspective.
The word "enormous expansion" emphasizing the narrator's view of the bridge's grandeur and scale, emphasizing their awe and curiosity even more.
Thus, this line captures the narrator's adolescent surprise and demonstrates their limited awareness of the world, demonstrating their young and naive viewpoint.

"They said it couldn't be done, but they did it," Papa kept repeating, almost like he half believed it himself. We had been hearing about the
building of the Great East River Bridge for years, with its deals gone bad, workers with illnesses, and defiance of something called physics.
We weren't quite sure what it all meant, except that for now, my sister Rachel and I were putting on our finest dresses and the shoes Mother
had polished twice.
Soon we were out the door as a family going to walk on a bridge taller than the entire city. There were so many people, but we were
determined. Our modest Brooklyn family was going to walk high up in the air on the miracle of a bridge to Manhattan
The sunshine warmed my shoulders as we joined the masses of people walking toward the river. I stretched onto my tiptoes to see the swarm
of boats gathering underneath the bridge up ahead. I gasped quietly when I saw the enormous expansion before me. "There it is!" I exclaimed.
"Yes, there's the Great East River Bridge," Papa said looking down at me.
You are Tom Robinson. Today is your first day of your trial. The courtroom is packed. You just watched everyone march in from your cell window. Pretend your wife just called right before the trial begins. Describe the courtroom environment to her. What do you see?
Tom Robinson describes the tense and solemn atmosphere of the courtroom on the first day of his trial, highlighting the contrast between the beautiful day outside and the gravity of the proceedings inside. He outlines the trial process and the importance of the Constitutional assurance of a fair trial, emphasizing the critical role of the jury and the less dramatic reality of court procedures.
Explanation:You are Tom Robinson, and today is the first day of your trial. The courtroom you describe is filled with anticipation and tension. It is a solemn proceeding, where the outcome could drastically change your life. Outside, the scenery is in stark contrast to the atmosphere inside; it is a beautiful day where the sun shines, birds sing, and a gentle breeze sways the green trees, symbolizing liberty and freedom. Within the courtroom, everyone plays their part in this significant human drama. You, the defendant, sit near the trial table, surrounded by the jury, the judge, and the tables for the defense and prosecution, all under the watchful eyes of the public.
The trial follows a structured process: opening arguments from both the prosecution and defense, testimonies from witnesses, and your potential testimony. It concludes with closing arguments and jury deliberation. You emphasize the reality of the courtroom being much less dramatic than depicted in media, yet it's a critical aspect of American life. This experience is a powerful reminder of the judicial system's role in determining one's fate and the importance of the Constitutional assurance of a fair trial.
In the last , sentence the author compares the watch to the sun to suggest how Gabiel's feel about the watch. How does this comparison suggest Gabriel's feelings about the watch?
Answer:
Gabriel was happy and excited to see the watch.
Explanation:
The author used a simile - as golden as the sun - to describe the pocket watch in the story 'The Golden Watch'.
This description conveys the notion that the pocket watch was shinning to behold and expresses Gabriel's positive feelings of happiness and excitement on finding the watch which he later called a 'treasure'.
Gabriel was particularly happy to have the pocket watch as earlier paragraphs had told us that he was always running late. The golden pocket watch would therefore help him in keeping to time
