In the second paragraph of the story, the narrator tells us that "They looked at him so long and so closely that Pelayo and Elisenda very soon overcame their surprise and in the end found him familiar". This comment works as a transition between the extraordinary aspect of the old man and the simple-hearted approach that Pelayo and Elisenda have. It's a extraordinary sentence because it reveals why many people will visit the old man with enormous wings. For curiosity is a way of knowing and turning familiar what is odd.
In that same paragraph, Pelayo and Elisend decide to consult with a woman: «And yet, they called in a neighbor woman who knew everything about life and death to see him, and all she needed was one look to show them their mistake». This comment is written for ironic puroposes. First, Pelayo and his wife think that the old man is a salir from a foreign country. Then, this neighbor woman believes that he is an angel. Both conclusions are presented with certainty, as if it was trully possible that someone «knew everything about life and death» and could show, needing just one look, the truth.
Another humorous passage is: «Against the judgment of the wise neighbor woman, for whom angels in those times were the fugitive survivors of a celestial conspiracy, they did not have the heart to club him to death».
The effect that hyperbolical passages have is important because it creates a distance between some perspectives: the one that the woman holds, the one of the neighborhood, the one of father Gonzaga, the one of Pelayo and his family and the one that the reader himself can create.
Other comments that interrupt the narrative and have a humorous approach, despite being philosophical in a very informal way, are the conjectures about the captive's future. He will be «major of the world», «five-star general», he will start a race of winged wise men... These comments contrast with the sad and beaten figure of the old man. They talk more about the imagination of the villagers than about the old man itslef.
A significant phlisophical comment is near the end of the story: «Father Gonzaga held back the crowd’s frivolity with formulas of maidservant inspiration while awaiting the arrival of a final judgment on the nature of the captive. But the mail from Rome showed no sense of urgency. They spent their time finding out if the prisoner had a navel, if his dialect had any connection with Aramaic, how many times he could fit on the head of a pin, or whether he wasn’t just a Norwegian with wings. Those meager letters might have come and gone until the end of time if a providential event had not put and end to the priest’s tribulations.» García Márquez makes fun of the thelogical discussions of the scholastics and the futility of these investigations.
In the end, the curiosity of people deviates towards a woman converted into a spider, showing the need to find new stimuli. It's the other side of knowledge: when something becomes too well known that it isn't noticed anymore. That allows the old man to recover and is beautiful because the most extraordinay act (the old man flying) is barely noticed and it's not cause of astonishment, but cause of relieve for Elisenda.
García Márquez's hyperbolic comments in 'A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings' add to the magical realism of the story and critique societal norms and organized religion, inviting philosophical reflection.
In Gabriel García Márquez's story A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings, the author's use of hyperbolic narrative inserts serves multiple purposes. One instance of this technique aside from the line “The world had been sad since Tuesday,” is when the author exaggerates the number of onlookers saying it was so crowded that people had to pass the baby over their heads like at a public auction.
Another example is when García Márquez describes the old man's wings as 'huge buzzard wings, dirty and half-plucked.' These comments create a stylistic consistency that underscores the magical realism of the story, casting a philosophical depth that accentuates the mundane with touches of the extraordinary. They enrich the narrative by inviting reflection and questioning of reality, beliefs, and expectations.
The hyperbolic comments probe readers to consider the arbitrary nature of societal beliefs and norms. They contribute to the story's whimsical tone while simultaneously offering a critique of society, specifically organized religion and human tendencies, through the townspeople's response to the angelic figure. This figures into the broader theme of magical realism in García Márquez's work, which mixes the extraordinary with the common to reflect on everyday life and challenge readers' perceptions.

Read the passage from The Rámáyan of Válmíki.
His brother, fell before his feet,
And cried, "Thy claim all men allow:
O come, our lord and king be thou."
But Ráma nobly chose to be
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.
But turned to Nandigráma, where
He ruled the realm with watchful care,
Still longing eagerly to learn
Tidings of Ráma’s safe return.
Bharat is characterized as a(n) king.
Bharat is characterized as a substitute king, the passage communicate that Bharat request to his brother Ráma to assume the reign of Ayodhyá, but he refuses to do so, this is explained in the following phrase: "But Rama nobly chose to be observant of his sire's decree". According to this sentence, apparently Rama decided to respect his father desire of not being the king.
Bharat realized that his demands to his brother wasn't enough for him to be the king, so he left to Nandigráma where he could meditate and wait for his brother to return while he reigned Ayodhyá on his brother's name.

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.

Read the introduction of Helios from The Myths and Legends of Ancient Greece and Rome by E. M. Berens. Helios, who was the son of the Titans Hyperion and Theia, is described as rising every morning in the east, preceded by his sister Eos (the Dawn), who, with her rosy fingers, paints the tips of the mountains, and draws aside that misty veil through which her brother is about to appear. When he has burst forth in all the glorious light of day, Eos disappears, and Helios now drives his flame-darting chariot along the accustomed track. This chariot, which is of burnished gold, is drawn by four fire-breathing steeds, behind which the young god stands erect with flashing eyes, his head surrounded with rays. What element of a myth does this excerpt contain? A description about a historical event a lesson about the difficulties of life an exploration of human behavior an explanation of the natural world
The correct answer is the last option "an explanation of the natural world" because myths try to explain natural occurrences and express beliefs of a certain culture, in this case, we are talking about Greek mythology in which it is clear that the elements in myths were early man's desire to explain the universe, often in anthropomorphic figures, as Zeus has the power of thunder or in this excerpt helios where the one who brings the light into the day. One of the most important elements of Greek myths is magic realted to powers in nature. It's not "A description about a historical event" because myth is the explanation of the origins of the life and natural world in ancient times where people couldn't rely on science so they create stories to provide an explanation about their world but they are not necessarily true or historical as we know today that thunder comes from clouds instead of believing that it was Zeus the god of thunder. On the other hand, It's not "a lesson about difficulties of life" because this myth of Helios talks about his duties as a god and also a description of the chariot and himself, it doesn't talk about his problems or how he solve them to teach us a lesson. Finally, it's not "an explanation of human behavior" because it's very difficult to identify our behavior as humans in comparison to gods in Greek myths. They are different from us, they have power and abilities in order to create and sustain the world. It is possible to find an explanation of human behavior in other stories where humans were part of the plot but not in this specific case.

D is your answer, an explanation of the natural world

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

Why is it important for you to learn about verbs and its kinds? Explain in your own words.
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;
That a verb can perform: there are those verbs that place an object into action.Other verbs allow more explanation on the very object.(10) _______, the gap between began to grow.Choose the best word or words to go in the blank A. Too B. Then C. As a result D. Next

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.

The process or product of cultivating living organisms
knowledge of and taste in fine arts and humanities

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)

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.]

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.
