Which of the following options does NOT describe a fact? A. builds arguments and support ideas B. from reliable sources C. expresses feelings, attitudes, and beliefs D. can be proven true or false Please select the best answer from the choices provided A B C D
The correct answer is C. Expresses feelings, attitudes, and beliefs
Explanation:
The word "fact" refers to information or events that exist according to reality and therefore are considered as valid or true. Because of this, facts are verifiable, which means they can be proven through the scientific method or supported by using arguments or information from reliable sources and also, facts are objective, this means facts do not depend on the perceptions or beliefs from people. Indeed, a fact is opposite to the feelings, attitudes, beliefs or perceptions of people, because these are subjective and facts are objective. Therefore, the option that does not describe a fact is "expresses feelings, attitudes, and beliefs".

“Hanging Fire”
by Audre Lorde
I am fourteen
and my skin has betrayed me
the boy I cannot live without
still sucks his thumb
in secret
how come my knees are
always so ashy
what if I die
before the morning comes
and momma’s in the bedroom
with the door closed.
I have to learn how to dance
in time for the next party
my room is too small for me
suppose I die before graduation
they will sing sad melodies
but finally
tell the truth about me
There is nothing I want to do
and too much
that has to be done
and momma’s in the bedroom
with the door closed.
Nobody even stops to think
about my side of it
I should have been on Math Team
my marks were better than his
why do I have to be
the one
wearing braces
I have nothing to wear tomorrow
will I live long enough
to grow up
and momma’s in the bedroom
with the door closed.

Which poetic techniques are illustrated in the opening lines “I am fourteen/and my skin has betrayed me/the boy I cannot live without/still sucks his thumb/in secret”?
A. alliteration and metaphor
B. allusion and alliteration
C. apostrophe and simile
D. personification and enjambment
The correct answer is D. Personification and enjambement
Explanation:
In poetry, there are different techniques poets usually use for stylistic purposes this includes the rhyme, the onomatopoeia, the alliteration, the simile, the personification, among others. In the case of personification, this technique occurs when objects, plants, animals or entities that are not humans are given human features or are represented as people. In the verses from the poem "Hanging Fire" by Audre Lorde this can be seen in "and my skin has betrayed me" because the skin is an inanimate object that has been given the action of betrayal which is somehow exclusive from people.
On the other hand, enjambment which is another poetry technique occurs when the verses do not end at the end of a complete idea, which means in poems with enjambement one idea is developed through multiple verses. This device can also be found in the poem by Audre Lorde as the idea "I am fourteen/and my skin has betrayed me" is divided into verses and the idea "the boy I cannot live without/still sucks his thumb/in secret" is divided into three verses. Therefore, in this poem, the techniques illustrated are personification and enjambement.

How does his defiance of atticus's order to leave make him similar to atticus in scout's estimation?
Final answer:
Jem's defiance of Atticus's order to leave makes him similar to Atticus in Scout's estimation because both characters display courage and a strong sense of justice.
Explanation:
In the book To Kill a Mockingbird, Scout's brother Jem defies Atticus's order to leave during Atticus's confrontation with a group of men at the jail. This act of defiance makes Jem similar to Atticus in Scout's estimation because both characters display courage and a strong sense of justice.
Atticus, as a lawyer, defends Tom Robinson, an innocent black man accused of a crime. Atticus is willing to stand up against the ingrained racism and prejudice of the town, even though he knows it will be a difficult and unpopular task.
Similarly, Jem's defiance shows his sense of justice and unwillingness to back down from what he believes is right. Both characters are willing to challenge the status quo and fight for what they believe in, which earns Scout's admiration.

Explanation:
auto and add meh on msp flawlessflowersmile
In "The Bells," "jingling, tinkling" is not consonance, the positive degree adjective in the sentence provided is 'harsh,' and in "The Raven," a raven connotatively symbolizes an omen of death.
Explanation:The words "jingling, tinkling" in line 14 of "The Bells" are an example of repetition and assonance, but they are NOT an example of consonance. Repetition is the use of the same word or phrase multiple times to emphasize a point, while assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds. In contrast, consonance refers to the repetition of consonant sounds, but not necessarily at the end of words.
Among the given sentences, 'The whole coast was beaten by harsh winds.' uses an adjective in the positive degree. Words in the positive degree are used to describe something without making a comparison to something else, as opposed to the comparative degree ('harsher') or the superlative degree ('harshest').
The connotative meaning of the raven in Poe’s "The Raven" implies an omen of death. While a raven is literally a black bird, in literary terms, especially in the context of Poe's poem, it is often associated with ill-omens or death, rather than being a fickle friend.
For the research topic below, select the letter of the best reason that the reference would need to be supplemented with additional information or opinions. Topic: The Orangutan, an Endangered Species Reference: Apes and Monkeys, published 1980
a. does not contain current information on endangered species status
b. provides information that is too general
The correct answer is “A. does not contain current information on endangered species status.”
Anytime you are doing research for a paper, you’ll want to have the most current publications available in order for your writing to be considered credible. This is especially important for time-sensitive topics such as that of a paper on endangered species because endangered status is something that is not static and is subject to change frequently. Thus, from year to year animals are, both, put on and taken off endangered species lists. “Current” information will vary from discipline to discipline, but a good rule to keep in mind is that all the sources you use should have been published within the last 5 years.

Read the following passage from “The Devil and Tom Walker.” What statement about the cultural attitudes in Massachusetts is Washing Irving making in this passage?
“Oh, I go by various names,” [says the Devil]. “I am the wild huntsman in some countries; the black miner in others. In this neighborhood I am known by the name of the black woodsman. I am he to whom the red men consecrated this spot, and in honor of whom they now and then roasted a white man, by way of sweet-smelling sacrifice. Since the red men have been exterminated by you white savages, I amuse myself by presiding at the persecutions of Quakers and Anabaptists; I am the great patron and prompter of slave-dealers and the grand-master of the Salem witches.”
A) Irving is praising the colonists for taking a stand against evil.
B) Irving is condemning the colonists’ mistreatment of others.
C) Irving is ridiculing the superstitious beliefs of the colonists.
D) Irving is showing the different attitudes colonists have about the devil.
We know the answer is not “A” because Irving would, thus, need to be praising the devil since he attributes the persecutions to the devil as the devil mentions he presides at the persecutions. We know the answer is not “C” because superstition is not innately evil and is considered silly to some, and there is nothing silly about the killing those found guilty during the persecutions of the Quakers and Anabaptists. We know “D” is not the answer because there is no mention as to how colonists view the devil. There is mention of how the devil is known in other countries; the only mention of the devil and the colonists is how the devil mentions he presides at persecutions. Thus, we know that “B” is the best response because to describe actions as those being watched over and encouraged by the devil is a condemnation insinuating those taking part are accessories/accomplices to evil.
Answer:
B) Irving is condemning the colonists mistreatment of others.

Identify details that Wylie uses to idealize the eastern shore landscape in parts 1-3 of the poem. What expectations do these details create for readers
Wild Peaches by Elinor Wylie
The line “We’ll swim in milk and
honey till we drown” depicts an abundance of supply of food or about prosperity
in general. On the other hand, the line “The spring begins before the winter’s
over” suggests an ideal weather where winter is short-lived and fair weather is
always enjoyed. Finally, the line “We shall live well — we shall live very well”
promises a good and comfortable life. Thus, readers expect that life at the
Eastern Shore is everybody’s dream life: complete, perfect and ideal.
Final answer:
The question seeks identification of details that romanticize the eastern shore landscape in a poem. Poetic descriptions often utilize vibrant imagery of the landscape, weather, and natural elements, conveying an idealized view that sets readers' expectations for discovering a serene, untouched paradise within the literary piece.
Explanation:
The question asks about specific details used by the poet to idealize the eastern shore landscape in the given parts of the poem. To answer this, one would identify and analyze various elements such as the depictions of the landscape, weather, characters' appearances, and the employment of color and sound within the poetic narrative. For instance, idealized landscapes might be described using vivid imagery that enhances their beauty and tranquility. An example of such idealization can be drawn from the description in WEST WIND, where the valley is portrayed as 'a burnished oval of glittering green' with 'waterfalls of many forms' and a 'broad, lacy sheet' that transforms into 'white and gold and rosy mist.' Similarly, Wylie might use rich descriptions of the island and its surroundings to create a picturesque and almost utopian view of the shore, setting certain expectations for the readers. These descriptions often evoke feelings of peace, majesty, or wonder, and make readers anticipate the discovery of a serene, untouched paradise within the text.

Which themes of Ibsen's A Doll's House are reflected in this excerpt from act 1 of the play? @timo619,
Why does Lord Shamash urge Gilgamesh to attack Humbaba?
Answer:
Humbaba has only one aura, making him easier to defeat.
Explanation:
Lord Shamash encourages Gilgamesh to kill Humbaba, because Lord Shamash hates Humbaba and believes that Gilgamesh has enough power to defeat him.
"Gilgamesh" is an epic tale that depicts Gilgamesh's adventures as he seeks immortality. In this story Lord Shamash, the ancient god of the sun and justice, has a great affection for Gilgamesh, who is a faithful devotee.
Lord Shamash detests Humbaba as he is a creature associated with darkness and evil. He knows that whoever defeats Humbaba will have his name stamped in history and he knows that Gilgamesh is hungry for honor and recognition.
For this reason, Lord Shamash encourages Gilgames to kill Humbaba. He has this idea because:
He believes Gilgamesh has the ability to kill Humbaba.Humbaba has only one aura, which weakens him compared to Gilgamesh.Humbaba's death will cause Lord Shamash to get rid of an enemy.Humbaba's death will bring honor and recognition to Gilgamesh.In this case, we can conclude that Lord Shamash wanted Umbaba to be killed not only to enhance the name of Gilgamesh, but to get rid of someone he didn't like.

Odysseus plans a surprise attack on the suitors from within the palace. Odysseus will enter disguised as a beggar and Telemachus will hide the palace's arms where the suitors cannot easily reach them. The two of them will then slaughter the suitors. What would have happened if Odysseus had not arrived in a disguise? Odysseus would not have been able to determine who was loyal. The suitors might be unprepared to ambush him. The suitors might be prepared to kill Telemachus. The suitors might be prepared to run away.
Answer:
The best answer to the question: Odysseus plans a surprise attack on the suitors from within the palace. Odysseus will enter disguised as a beggar and Telemachus will hide the palace´s arms where the suitors cannot easily reach them... What would have happened if Odysseus had not arrived in disguise?, would be: Odysseus would not have been able to determine who was loyal.
Explanation:
In fact, it is in this way that both his most trusted servants, the swineherd and the sheperdherd were discovered as being completely trustworthy, in the adventure of "The Odyssey" by Homer. Odysseus has been told of what awaits him in his home in Ithaca, where he is King, the amount of suitors who wish to marry his wife, Penelope. He also learns that without disguising himself, he will be killed outright, by sheer numbers. So, Athena herself helps him to disguise himself as a beggar, who will be the least likely person to raise any suspicions from the suitors. However, it will also ensure that only those who truly knew him, and loved him, and were loyal, would be able to see beyong the disguise, and that is exactly what happens before Odysseus´ plan is put into effect.
