Use context clues to choose the best definition of culture for each sentence. The scientist looked at the bacterial culture through her microscope. My friends know I'm interested in culture, so they often ask me about music, plays, and books. My grandparents took me to Italy to learn about their native culture.
In the sentence "The scientist looked at the bacterial culture through her microscope", the word culture referes to the following definition from Cambridge Dictionary: Cells, tissues, organs, or organisms grown for scientific purposes, or the activity of breeding and keeping particular living things in order to get the substances they produce. The words that give us clues are scientist, bacterial and microscope. They refer to a specific field of work/study which is Biology or Science.
In the sentence, " My friends know I'm interested in culture, so they often ask me about music, plays, and books.", the word culture implies a completely different meaning. According to the dictionary, thr right definition would be: The arts of describing, showing, or performing that represent the traditions or the way of life of a particular people or group; literature, art, music, dance, theater, etc. The words that help us choose the correct definition are music, plays and books since they are examples of the means people choose to represent traditions and ideas.
The word culture in the last sentence, "My grandparents took me to Italy to learn about their native culture", has another meaning and it is the way of life, especially the general customs and beliefs, of a particular group of people at a particular time. In this last sentence, the words grandparents and native are the words that act as clues in order to select he right definition. They imply a particular group of people from a specific point in time, not necessarily present time.
Answer:
The process or product of cultivating living organisms
knowledge of and taste in fine arts and humanities
The customs, beliefs, and values of a group of people

Read the following paragraph, and answer the question. Keeping my mind on my writing is not easy when I stay at my grandmother's ocean-side cottage. Just about the time that I am going along pretty well, I glance out the window and see two huge bald eagles swooping and tumbling in a spectacular aerial display. Naturally, I have to leave my desk and rush to the doorway to watch the performance as long as it lasts. Then, as if a conspiracy were trying to keep me from working, two otters poke their shiny heads out of the water and hang there motionless. They watch to see what I am doing. As soon as I return to my desk, seagulls wheel into my window view and screech as they search for scraps of food. Within minutes, this confusion of sounds stirs my aging St. Bernard out of a deep sleep, and he hauls his massive, lumbering body over to be petted. Mickey, my cat, can't stand to see any partiality, so he is soon pacing back and forth across my ankles. As I wiggle my bare toes to tease Mickey, I realize that my legs have become stiff. I remember that I have not had my daily ride. So, I slip on my sandals, step out the door, spring onto my bike, and pedal off down the beach. Meanwhile, the composition in my typewriter sits and grows colder. Does every sentence some way support the thesis? yes no
The answer is: yes.
The narrator's thesis is that it is not easy to concentrate on writing when he or she stays at his or her grandmother's cottage.
After stating the thesis in the topic sentence, every sentence that follows provides a reason for his lack of focus: the bald eagles, the otters, the seagulls, his dog, his cat, his stiff legs and his ride down the beach. Finally, he mentions the composition in his typewriter waiting for him to continue writing.

Select the answer with parallel structure.
A. Daily exercise increases athletes' stamina, endurance, and makes them strong.
B. Daily exercise increases athletes' stamina, endurance, and strength.
C. Daily exercise increases athletes' stamina, endurance, and is strengthening.
D. Daily exercise increases athletes' stamina, increases their endurance, and is strengthening.
The sentence that uses parallel structure is option B) “Daily exercise increases athletes' stamina, endurance, and strength”. Parallel structures are writing resources that help bring coherence to a sentence by using the same grammar pattern when listing items or actions. In this example, parallelism is maintained by using nouns after the word athletes’ such as “stamina, endurance and strength”.
In the rest of the options there is a break in the grammar pattern so no parallel structure is possible. In option C for example, the sentence mixes the nouns “stamina and endurance” with the verb to be+ ing as in “is strengthening”. In option D there is also a break in maintaining the same grammar structures since it mixes noun (stamina), verb+ object (increases their endurance) and verb to be+ ing( is strengthening)

Observant of his sire’s decree.
He placed his sandals in his hand
A pledge that he would rule the land:
And bade his brother turn again.
Then Bharat, finding prayer was vain,
The sandals took and went away;
Nor in Ayodhyá would he stay.

He ruled the realm with watchful care,
Still longing eagerly to learn
Tidings of Ráma’s safe return.

In Edgar Allen Poe’s short story “The Cask of Amontillado,” the narrator, Montresor, vows to exact revenge on Fortunato for an unspecified insult. With that in mind, he lures Fortunato into the dank catacombs beneath his palazzo. Read the following excerpt.
“These vaults,” [Fortunato] said, “are extensive.”
“The Montresors,” I replied, “were a great and numerous family.”
“I forget your [coat of] arms.”
“A huge human foot of gold, in a field of azure; the foot crushes a serpent … whose fangs are imbedded in the heel.”
“And the motto?”
“Nemo me impune lacessit.” [Nobody provokes me without punishment.]
What do these lines of dialogue accomplish?
A.
They build tension by revealing Montresor’s plan to Fortunato.
B.
They reveal facts about Fortunato that propel the action of the story.
C.
They provide insight into the character traits that drive Fortunato.
D.
They hint at Montresor’s motive for luring Fortunato into the catacombs.
I think that the answer is A.
If thats wrong then its D.
Answer:
D. They hint at Montresor’s motive for luring Fortunato into the catacombs.
Explanation:
These lines of dialogue are essential to the development of the story. We know that Montresor wants to take revenge on Fortunato, and we know that this is the reason why they are both at the catacombs. However, we do not know what it is that prompted this desire for revenge. By explaining how his family's motto is "nobody provokes me without punishment," we learn that Montresor's motive is most likely to punish Fortunato for provoking him.

David is _______ than his brother Thomas. gentlemanlier more gentlemanly gentlemanliest most gentlemanly
Gentlemanly, I believe!! Hope this helps!!
Answer: I would contend that the right answer is "more gentlemanly."
Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that when forming a comparative adjective—as the one that the example requires, since it is followed by "than"—it is necessary to take into account the number of syllables of that adjective. If it has three or more syllables, as gentlemanly, the comparative is formed by putting "more" in front of the adjective.

The _______ is the only skeletal muscle that has a sensory capability.
A. eye
B. ear
C. tongue
D. finger
The tongue is a dual-function muscle that controls movement for speaking and swallowing, and also houses sensory receptors for taste. This makes it unique compared to other muscles listed, such as those in the eyes, ears, or fingers.
Explanation:The tongue is the only skeletal muscle that has sensory capability. The tongue is a unique muscle because it has both skeletal muscle, providing us control over its movements for tasks such as speaking and swallowing, and it also has sensory receptors for taste. These sensory receptors specifically detect the five basic tastes: sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and umami. It is vital to note that while other parts of the body - such as the fingers, ears, and eyes - have sensory capabilities, these are not associated with skeletal muscle in the way they are with the tongue.

I think its not important you just need to know how to use them in a sentence and kno what they mean there's no point in learning why there called verbs or proper nouns you just need to know "How do I use this noun in a sentence and sound correct?" that's what I think.
A verb is a word that originates from the Latin term Verbum. It is a portion of a speech that is related to express excitement or move an object in motion. A verb must have particular tense i.e. Present , past or future. A verb is a pretty significant part of any sentence. There are two main purposes;

describe the effect the wallpaper is having on the narrator?
IN my opinion
The wallpaper becomes an obsession with the narrator.She's confined, and with nothing else to do she concentrates on her surroundings. In this case the yellow wallpaper. What her physician has deemed a rest cure,is emotionally any but. The wallpaper serves to capture her imagination, irritate her, and completely stress her out. Isolation is hampering her natural creativity and the wallpaper is making her a bit crazy;wallpaper captivates her imagination-
'I never saw a worse paper in my life. One of those sprawling flamboyant patterns committing every artistic sin. It is dull enough to confuse the eye in following, pronounced enough to constantly irritate and provoke study, and when you follow the lame uncertain curves for a little distance they suddenly commit suicide--plunge off at outrageous angles, destroy themselves in unheard of contradictions.
The color is repellent, almost revolting; a smouldering unclean yellow, strangely faded by the slow-turning sunlight.
It is a dull yet lurid orange in some places, a sickly sulphur tint in others.
No wonder the children hated it! I should hate it myself if I had to live in this room long.'
Yellow Wallpaper' - Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Final answer:
The wallpaper in 'The Yellow Wallpaper' symbolizes the oppressive structures that marginalize women, contributing to the narrator's mental deterioration and obsession, reflecting societal and patriarchal negligence of women's experiences and needs.
Explanation:
The effect the wallpaper is having on the narrator in The Yellow Wallpaper is multifaceted and profound. It seems to symbolize the oppressive structures of society and particularly the way women are marginalized and imprisoned within domestic spaces. As the narrator becomes increasingly obsessed with the wallpaper, she starts reading into its chaotic patterns, suggesting a sort of entrapment and hinting at her desire for escape. The wallpaper serves as a catalyst for her mental deterioration; it becomes something she simultaneously detests and is drawn to, symbolizing the internalization of her oppression. The torn and tattered condition of the wallpaper also may represent the damage to her own psyche. As her fascination grows, she believes she sees women trapped within the wallpaper, which could represent her feelings of entrapment and her empathy for other women suffering similar oppressive circumstances.
The direct impact of the wallpaper on the narrator's health and psychological state becomes evident as she declares a growing affection for the room because of the wallpaper. This escalating infatuation paradoxically suggests her mental state is declining, as hinted by phrases like 'it dwells in my mind' and her nocturnal obsession with its 'developments.' Furthermore, her husband's dismissal of her concerns reflects the patriarchal tendency to minimize women's experiences and interpret them as frivolous or imagined. John's reaction, or lack thereof, to change the wallpaper is indicative of a broader unwillingness to address the fundamental causes of the narrator's distress, focusing instead on superficial treatments rather than understanding her true needs.
The Dream Machine Lindsay Rock 1Derek watched intently as his older brother, Jared, tinkered with a control on the machine in front of him. 2“Jared, is this actually going to work?” he asked, impatiently tapping his foot. 3Jared’s failure to respond told Derek that his brother had no doubt in his capabilities. Jared was a regular Einstein and had won first place at the science fair five years in a row. His inventions never failed to impress even the most ruthless judges. 4 “Finished.” Jared stepped back and revealed a strange, helmet-like object covered in buttons, lights, and other mechanisms. He made a grand gesture with his arms, as if he were displaying a fabulous prize to a game show contestant, and said, “I give you the Dream Machine.” 5Derek cast a suspicious eye toward the machine. “How do you operate it?” he asked. 6“It’s quite simple,” Jared replied. “First, you use the keypad to enter a time, a location, and an event. Next, you place the helmet on your head and securely fasten the strap. Finally—and this is the easy part—you go to sleep. As you sleep, the machine will use the data you entered to create a lifelike dream sequence that basically transports you wherever you want to go.” 7Derek nodded, still wary of his brother’s apparatus. He wasn’t sure that he wanted some machine toying with his subconscious while he slept like a baby. However, Derek remembered the reason why he had asked his brother about the Dream Machine in the first place. His history class was creating a Web site about the ancient Olympic Games and Derek had to write about the stadion. He had yet to pen a single word, and his presentation was due the following day. 8Derek took a deep breath and picked up the helmet. He programmed the following information: 776 B.C.E., Olympia, Greece, stadion. Then he placed the clunky machine on his head, fastened the strap, and tried to get comfortable in his bed. Eventually, he drifted off to sleep. . . . 9Derek stood in the stadion, the place where ancient Greeks held athletic contests. He watched as the athletes prepared to run a race, which was also called the stadion. The stadion was one of the most important events of the ancient Olympics. The length of the race was one stade—about 200 yards—which was the distance from one end of the stadion to the other. The people next to Derek talked excitedly about the great honor that would come to the man who won the race. Derek cheered along with them as the athletes sprinted to the finish line. . . . 10The next morning, Derek proudly presented his information about the stadion to his classmates. Even Mr. Jovavitch, the history teacher, looked impressed with the thorough description. 11“Derek, where did you find such intricate details?” Mr. Jovavitch inquired. 12“Here and there,” said Derek, a sly smile spreading across his face. Read the passage on the left to answer the following questions:
4) From which point of view is this story written? A) first person B) second person C) fourth person D) third person limited
