(THE POEM)


(1) In New York, back in the nineteenth century, it was customary for politicians to host big events, called Beefsteaks, dedicated to the eating of beef. (2) They used the event to try to curry favor among the people and win their votes. (3) The organizers would rent an enormous hall. (4) People would sit down at long picnic tables. (5) The beef was always grilled tenderloin, brought straight from the grill. (6) In Australia they like to put shrimp on the grill. (7) The beef was then cut into small pieces and placed on a small piece of stale bread and served to the hungry guests. (8) Tradition dictated that no one ever ate the bread. (9) Rather, the bread was stacked on the table into “towers” as proof of how much beef has been consumed. (10) Also, there were no utensils allowed. (11) Everyone ate with their fingers, and washed down the beef with ale.

(12) There was debate about whether any side dishes should be served. (13) Fried or baked potatoes, pickles, lamb, and even organ meats were served by some Beefsteaks. (14) Mostly, however, people just wanted beef. (15) After all, beef, it was expensive in those days and these events were all-you-can-eat.

(16) Eventually in the twentieth century, when women could finally vote, the Beefsteak ceased to be an all-male event. (17) Later, the tradition faded away and survived only in a few union halls in Bergen and Passaic counties in northern New Jersey. (18) Today there is a Beefsteak revival in New York. (19) Not by politicians, but just by people who want to eat plenty of beef.

In the harbor, in the island, in the Spanish Seas,
Are the tiny white houses and the orange trees,
And day-long, night-long, the cool and pleasant breeze
Of the steady Trade Winds blowing.

There is the red wine, the nutty Spanish ale,
The shuffle of the dancers, the old salt's tale,
The squeaking fiddle, and the soughing in the sail
Of the steady Trade Winds blowing.

And o' nights there's fire-flies and the yellow moon,
And in the ghostly palm-trees the sleepy tune
Of the quiet voice calling me, the long low croon
Of the steady Trade Winds blowing.

Based on context clues, you can infer that "the old salt" is _________.


a simple boat


an ancient house


an experienced sailor


an aged wine.





The images of the poem's third stanza all suggest___________.



afternoon


night


morning


winter

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Inane...querulous

2. mollified

3. Odious....impeccable

4. An aged wine

5. Night

Explanation:

Answer 2

Final answer:

The fear of flying without experience is theoretical, while fear based on experience is authentic. A restored old house is correctly described as refurbished. Damage to reputation that is permanent is irrevocable, and a negative response towards this could be vindictive. In the poem, 'the old salt' refers to an experienced sailor, and the images in the third stanza suggest nighttime.

Explanation:

Since the student has never been on a plane, the fear is not based on experience but rather a concept they have imagined. Thus, their fear of flying is theoretical; it exists in theory rather than as a result of any actual event. On the other hand, their fear of tight spaces is authentic because it is based on past experiences. Therefore, the correct sentence completion would be: "Since I have never actually been on a plane, my fear of flying is purely theoretical; my fear of tight spaces, however, is authentic and based on past experiences."

For the second blank, the old house has been given a new life and its former beauty has been brought back. The correct term to describe this process is refurbished. So, the completed sentence should read: "Now that the old house has been refurbished and restored to its original splendor, it is one of the finest examples of nineteenth-century architecture in the city."

In context, the damage to the actor's reputation cannot be undone, making it irrevocable. And since he harbors a strong desire for retribution against those who hurt him, he has become vindictive. The completed sentence would be: "The damage those rumors did to the actor's reputation is irrevocable, so it is somewhat understandable that he became so vindictive and bitter towards the members of the press who spread lies about him."

Based on the context clues within the poem, "the old salt" is an expression commonly used to refer to an experienced sailor. The description of the person being an old salt's tale suggests stories told by someone familiar with life at sea.

The images presented in the poem's third stanza, referring to fireflies, the yellow moon, and the quiet voice calling in the night, all suggest that the scenario is taking place during night time.

The subject Edward and Marianne are discussing is ______________________.

Answers

Answer:

I don't know if there is any options for this question because you didn't put any, but, I think I can answer anyways.

The subject Edward and Marianne are discussing is the possibility (or not) of loving more than once in life.

Explanation:

According to Edward, Marianne's maxim is that "no one can ever be in love more than once in their life". He doesn't exposes his opinion about the subject (at least not in this excerpt), but seems to be more open to the possibility of falling in love more than once. On the other hand, Marianne tells him that, in fact, she didn't change her mind about it, she says that her opinions, at her "time of life" are already fixed. She seems to realize that she  might be a little stubborn about this topic (and maybe about others too), but she thinks that probably nothing can change her thoughts.

Explanation:

To make all these sentences more emphatic, we should alter the canonical or universal order of sentences. This is done by placing the adveb clauses at the beginning , when they are generally placed at the end. Once the adverb clauses are foregrounded , a comma should be put between these clauses and the main clause. Another feature some of these adverb clauses has is the use of reference , the pronouns  that have been italiced create a bit of suspense since the referent , see bold typed words,  is clarified in the main clause. This is called cataphoric reference. The pronoun antecedes the reference.

The _____ yoke was smooth and polished from long use.

oxens'

Answers

The correct answer is D. Oxen's

Explanation:

According to grammar, the plural form of the word ox that refers to a type of bull is "oxen" and therefore this should be the form used in the sentence. Additionally, in the English language, it is common to use the apostrophe (') along with "s" to express belonging or relationship, this applies to singular and plural nouns that do not end in "s" as those ending in "s" do no need in most cases another "s". This implies in the sentence "The _____ yoke was smooth and polished from long use" in which the possessive form of oxen should be used the correct word is "oxen's" as this includes the correct plural form and also the correct way of making the word possessive (apostrophe followed by an "s").

B) He overstates the importance of his surrender to emphasize that there is a time for concession.
C) He uses figurative language and simile to give the audience a sense of what actually happened.
D) He repeats a word or expression to emphasize the importance of his personal feelings at a specific moment.

Part B
 How does the phrase "the last sun that shone" affect the tone of Black Hawk’s statement in Part A?

A) It creates sentimentality as an era passes.
B) It establishes urgency as time is running out.
C) It conveys finality and hopelessness about the future.
D) It creates fear based on the physical chill implied.

Answers

1. I would say the correct answer is A) He uses an extended metaphor to convey the magnitude of his sorrow about having to surrender. Sun is the extended metaphor here; it depicts their faltering hope and future that doesn't exist. True, there is a simile in the passage, but it doesn't mark the passage semantically and stylistically as this metaphor does.

2. In my opinion, the correct answer is C) It conveys finality and hopelessness about the future. As I said, the sun here is a metaphor for their happiness and prosperity. That was the last time Black Hawk was able to actually see the sun, and he will never be able to do it again, as his people are definitely defeated and cast off their lands. 

Part A: Black Hawk uses an extended metaphor to convey his sorrow about surrendering. Part B: The phrase "the last sun that shone" conveys finality and hopelessness about the future. correct opinion for Part A is A.He uses an extended metaphor to convey the magnitude of his sorrow about having to surrender, and for Part B is C. It conveys finality and hopelessness about the future.

Part A: Black Hawk uses rhetoric effectively in this excerpt to advance his purpose. The correct answer is A) He uses an extended metaphor to convey the magnitude of his sorrow about having to surrender. Black Hawk's description of the sun rising dim and setting in a dark cloud symbolizes the end of an era and the depth of his grief. This extended metaphor helps illustrate the profound impact of his surrender.

Part B: The phrase "the last sun that shone" greatly affects the tone of Black Hawk’s statement. The correct answer is C) It conveys finality and hopelessness about the future. This phrase implies that Black Hawk feels a deep sense of irrevocable loss and despair, indicating that his surrender marks a terminal point, not just in his life, but also symbolically for his people.

Answers

Hamlet will become a tragic hero and the story will have an unhappy ending.
What he is saying in the excerpt above is basically that he wants to die; he doesn't really see a point in living in this horrible world, when we are all doomed to suffer and then die in the end. So he is contemplating suicide to speed up the process, which is obviously a tragic and negative feeling to express. Thus the story won't have a happy ending by any means. 

It is an excerpt from Hamlet's first soliloquy in the play. The scene is Hamlet's first encounter with suicidal thoughts in which he condemns the world being weary, stale and unprofitable. But he cannot commit a suicide because religion forbids it. The remaining part of this soliloquy demonstrates Hamlet's agony because of the consequences related to his mother's fate and father's death. Therefore, the excerpt shows that the story will end tragically and it will not be a happy end.

It helps understand the book the Walk Two Moons by putting the reader inside the book, as if they are a character. It helps the reader also understand and visualize the plot better.

Hope I helped.

Answer:

The reading role, or reader´s role, has usually been considered as very passive action where the reader of a story simply takes a text and goes through it without interacting with it much, or without being moved. Thus the reader becomes just a receiver of information, instead of becoming involved with the text.

However, this has changed, and now readers must be much more active, and they not just receive information but become actively engaged in the action of the story.

In the case of "Walk Two Moons", the novel written by author Sharon Creech, and which was published in 1994, given that this is a story within a story, where the main character´s life is seen through the life of another, almost making them like parallel events, the role of the reader must be much more active because it is a book where everything must be felt, lived, and experienced with the characters, or it simply becomes two lifelines, one hidden behind the other, without getting any meaning, or understanding the main themes of the book.

ADD ME AS MOST BRAINLIEST

Answer:

Explanation:

  This is the story of a young couple, Jim and Della, who were very poor and live in a very small modest apartment. Christams Eve was coming and Della had only $1,87 to buy her precious husband a gift. She felt to sad because she didn't know what to buy with such amount of money. She had an idea. She had a beautiful long hair, which she knew was worth than a Queen's jewel. She went to a shop and sold her hair for $20. Now she could buy Tim a chain for hist most precious watch, which had belong to his father and before that to his grandfather. She felt so happy! But she was worried what her husband would think of her hair. It was really short now. Tim arrived home and he looked at her as if something was different. She knew he noticed. She was worried he wouldn't find her pretty anymore. He told her he bought her a present and gave her a box. It had hair combs but they were useless now. She kept on saying her hair would grow so she didn't mind. Now it was time for Della to give him the present, the watch chain.Tim told her he had sold his watch to pay for that gift.

At the end, the author mentions the Magi, the three wise men who visited Baby Jesus in the manger and gave him gifts. He makes a comparison with the couple stating that they were not wise as the Magi because they sold the most valuable things they have (i.e hair and watch). However, the author then says that the sacrifce they made had been worth it. They acted out of love and sacrifice, which is the wisest thing to do.      

Demonstrators first started coming to Alcatraz after the US government closed the prison in 1963 and declared the property "surplus federal land.” Officials wanted to sell the island to a private developer, but some American Indian leaders had other ideas. They pointed out that a treaty between the United States and the Sioux said all abandoned federal land should be returned to Native people. The first group of American Indian protestors arrived in March 1964 and occupied Alcatraz for four hours. The small group of Sioux demonstrators offered to pay the US government $9.40 for the island, or 47 cents per acre – the same amount the government was paying to use tribal lands. Activists decided to state a larger action five years later, after the federal government offered to turn Alcatraz into a national park. On the morning of November 20, 1969, seventy-nine American Indians, many of them college students, set off for the island and began their occupation.


Why did the Sioux demonstrators think it was fair to buy the entire island for only $9.40?

I believe the correct answer is the last statement. When demonstrators first came to Alcatraz after the US government closed the prison in 1963.

Before we begin to point out complex sentences, we need to understand what they are.  A complex sentence is a sentence that contains an independent clause as well as a dependent clause.  An independent clause expresses a complete thought and is sometimes simply referred to as a complete sentence.  A dependent clause (sometimes called a subordinate clause) cannot stand on its own even though it may contain a subject and a verb because it doesn’t complete a thought.  What that in mind, note below how the extracted complex sentences have the dependent clause in all capital letters:

ALTHOUGH IT WAS DARK, he still hadn’t turned the van’s lights on.

FEARING THAT WE MIGHT HAVE TO SPEND A NIGHT IN THE JUNGLE, I ventured another question beloved of children everywhere.


A sentence containing a subordinate clause is a complex sentence. Although it was dark, and fear to spend the night in the jungle is a complex statement.

What are complex statements?

Complex statements are the sentences including the independent and the dependent clause. They are used in the sentences to express the complete and the incomplete thoughts.

The dependent clauses in the complex statements are:

Although it was dark, he still hadn’t turned the van’s lights on.

I was now worried that we wouldn’t arrive before nightfall, and my fears weren’t helped

Fearing that we might all have to spend a night in the jungle, I ventured another question beloved of children everywhere.

Therefore, the clause in the sentences makes them complex.
