B. Travis is always seen playing in the only sunlight in the apartment.
C. The apartment has little of it, and the house has a lot.
D. Mama's children and plant thrive even without it.

Answers

Answer 1
C. The apartment has little of it, and the house has a lot. 
Answer 2

Answer: C. The apartment has little of it, and the house has a lot.

In the play "A Raisin in the Sun" by Lorraine Hansberry, we meet a family that tries to "better" themselves with the insurance money they get after the father's death. The matriarch of the family, Mama, dreams of owning a house, and she wants to use the money for a down payment.

The play uses several symbols throughout the story. One of those is the sunlight, which symbolizes growth and life, as exemplified by the fact that the apartment has very little sunlight, while the house has a lot.

The best way to format a direct quote from this passage is:  Wilson states that the animals clearly want a better life, and "it is wrong not to give them one" (1).

A writer resorts to direct quotation when he/she takes the exact words that another author has used in a text or speech and puts them inside double quotation marks. The third option is the correct one because it includes the same words that Wilson wrote in his/her text and also because they are found around quotation marks. In contrast, the first and last options are incorrect because they do not include quotation marks.

Which sentence in this excerpt from G. K. Chesterton's "The Fallacy of Success" contains the central idea of the essay? On every bookstall, in every magazine, you may find works telling people how to succeed. They are books showing men how to succeed in everything; they are written by men who cannot even succeed in writing books. To begin with, of course, there is no such thing as Success. Or, if you like to put it so, there is nothing that is not successful. That a thing is successful merely means that it is; a millionaire is successful in being a millionaire and a donkey in being a donkey. Any live man has succeeded in living; any dead man may have succeeded in committing suicide. But, passing over the bad logic and bad philosophy in the phrase, we may take it, as these writers do, in the ordinary sense of success in obtaining money or worldly position. These writers profess to tell the ordinary man how he may succeed in his trade or speculation—how, if he is a builder, he may succeed as a builder; how, if he is a stockbroker, he may succeed as a stockbroker. They profess to show him how, if he is a grocer, he may become a sporting yachtsman; how, if he is a tenth-rate journalist, he may become a peer; and how, if he is a German Jew, he may become an Anglo-Saxon. This is a definite and business-like proposal, and I really think that the people who buy these books (if any people do buy them) have a moral, if not a legal, right to ask for their money back. Nobody would dare to publish a book about electricity which literally told one nothing about electricity; no one would dare to publish an article on botany which showed that the writer did not know which end of a plant grew in the earth. Yet our modern world is full of books about Success and successful people which literally contain no kind of idea, and scarcely any kind of verbal sense.

Identify the word in the excerpt that has a connotative meaning and explain, in at least 150 words, the significance of the word, and whether the meaning holds a positive or a negative emotion.

Answers

Pitifully


The word 'pitifully' in this excerpt is significant because it tells the reader the narrator's feelings towards the girl getting married. Without that word, there would not be the same level of insight or emotion into the narrator's thoughts. the word 'pitiful' has a negative connotation, if you are feeling pity for someone it means you do not think they should be in the situation they are in and wish you could help get them out of it. This tells the reader that the narrator feels the bride is far too young to be getting married and maybe it's something out of her control or that she is being forced into.

c. it hinders the reader's speed
d. it makes the poem easy to memorize

Answers

Answer: I would contend that the right answer is the D) It makes the poem easy to memorize.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that since many epic poems were meant to be retold orally, their authors incorporated into them poetic devices such as alliteration, which facilitated that endeavor—this was true particularly of Old English and Old German poetry, among others, as exemplified by the poem Beowulf. Alliteration (from the Latin littĕra, "letter") is the repetition of initial consonant sounds in words that are close together in a poem. The alliterative verse replaces other devices that form the poem's metrical structure, such as the rhyme.

Read the passage and answer the question that follows.

No matter what people say, every act of kindness is in fact purely selfish. Even large gifts to charity feel good to the giver. Whatever beneficial effects to others these gifts produce, it is the personal satisfaction that motivates them. However, this does not mean that charity does no good. On the contrary, selfishly motivated giving has done a lot of good in the world.


Which word or phrase from the passage signals a contrasting thought?

"No matter"
"Whatever"
"However"
"On the contrary"

Answers

The correct answer is on the contrary.

If something is contrary, it means that it is the opposite, completely different from something else. If you want to show a contrasting (opposing, different) thought, then you can use the phrase on the contrary. You can state one thing, add on the contrary, and then explain something completely different.

Answer:

"On the contrary"

Explanation:

In this passage, the expression "on the contrary" indicates the introduction of a contrasting thought. This is because the phrase signals that the previous idea will be in opposition to the idea that is about to be presented. In this case, the first idea states that charity does no good because it is selfish. However, the second statement introduces the contrasting thought that selfishly motivated giving actually does a lot of good in the world.

Answers

The correct response is “B. He tells the events in chronological order and with a lot of detail.


The story begins with the words “Tomorrow I die!  Tomorrow I die, and today I want to tell the world what happened...”  This creates suspense because it intrigues readers to want to know why he will die.  Because he is violent, it can be assumed that he will be punished, by death, for some crime; however, the reason is not disclosed until the almost the very end of the story.  Thus, because events are told in chronological order and with a lot of detail, it makes this short story seem much longer than it really is because of the anticipation (and suspense) caused by the Poe’s use of foreshadowing.

C. He mentions his wife's comment that black cats are believed to be witches in disguise

You’ve precisely demonstrated patience and
Renovated my life because
You challenged me with unabated love, you
Loved me before I knew you
You communicated with regal biddings and
Withdrew fleshly indulgences to bear witness in my life
You pay a costly price for you
Willingly choose to sacrifice iniquity for godly devices
You are loved, and appreciated because you
Speak with wisdom and
Maintain a household in an orderly system, you
Instruct faithfully as you work, you
Are slow to shirk your authorities and
You do not eat the bread of idleness; you’re among the prudent minority, and you,
I just wanted to say
You. Are. Appreciated.

Answers

Yes reading this poem backward would make sense.

The poem provided does not appear to make sense when read backwards.

The lines of the poem are structured to convey a message of appreciation and admiration for the mother's qualities and actions, and they build upon each other to create a coherent and heartfelt tribute. Reading the poem in reverse would disrupt the logical flow of ideas and the emotional impact that the poem aims to achieve.When reading a poem, the order of the lines is crucial for understanding the intended meaning and the poetic devices used, such as rhyme, rhythm, and metaphor. The poem is a unidirectional expression of gratitude and respect, with each line contributing to the overall message.To illustrate why the poem does not make sense when read backwards, let's consider the last few lines when reversed:

You are appreciated, and loved because you speak with wisdom and Maintain a household in an orderly system, you Instruct faithfully as you work. Are slow to shirk your authorities and You do not eat the bread of idleness; you're among the prudent minority, and you, I just wanted to say You. Are. Appreciated. If we reverse these lines, the expressions of appreciation and the qualities being praised would be presented before the statement of intent I just wanted to say , which would confuse the reader and obscure the poem's message. The poem's structure and the sequence of its ideas are intentional and contribute to its overall impact.

In conclusion, the poem is meant to be read forwards to convey the message of appreciation and love for the mother figure. Reading it backwards would not only disrupt the poetic structure but also the emotional and logical coherence of the tribute.

what advantages do images have over printed text in journalistic reporting?

Answers

Images in journalistic reporting process faster than text, transcend language barriers, and effectively convey powerful messages, making them a vital aspect of modern journalism that can communicate complex stories quickly and universally.

Images in journalistic reporting have several advantages over printed text. One significant benefit is the rapid speed at which humans can process visual information. Studies indicate that visual images are processed thousands of times faster than text, making the delivery of news through images much more efficient and immediate. Moreover, images possess a universal language that transcends cultural and linguistic barriers, facilitating broader understanding and appeal.

Photographs and other visuals in journalism are not only effective in conveying powerful messages and emotions but also in aiding memory and retention of information. They can also initiate empathy and draw attention to important issues, as demonstrated by their impact on global news stories such as natural disasters and political events. Finally, visuals support metacognition and can easily span cultures and languages, unlike text that may require translation and is influenced by cultural contexts.

However, it's essential to approach news images critically, understanding they can be manipulated or present a biased perspective. Journalistic visuals must also be interpreted within context, as they may not always convey the full story or may emphasize certain aspects over others.

Answers

The correct answer is the first option - We all wanted to win so badly that we were practically willing the ball through the hoop. 
You should write 'badly' and not 'bad' because you need to use the adverb rather than the adjective to modify the verb 'to win.' To use the adjective 'bad' here is really colloquial (and grammatically incorrect) so it cannot be used in formal writing, but rather only in informal speech.

"Can't see it," remarked Rainsford, trying to peer through the dank tropical night that was palpable as it pressed its thick warm blackness in upon the yacht.
It is personifying the night.

Answer: B) "Can't see it," remarked Rainsford, trying to peer through the dank tropical night that was palpable as it pressed its thick warm blackness in upon the yacht.

Explanation: personification is a figure of speech that consists in giving human characteristics to non human objects (or animals), in order to give an example of something or to create an image. From the given lines of "The Most Dangerous Game" the one that uses personification is the corresponding to option B, because it says that the night (non human object) was palpable and was pressing its blackness in upon the yacht (human characteristics).

Which example supports the idea that Maya resembles her mother? A. Maya hardly remembers directions. B. Maya is bold and fearless like her. C. Maya likes to listen to the radio. D. Maya sings and talks to herself.The Summer of Rain by A. Gautam Maya looked at the overcast sky and hesitated before stepping out. She looked back to the bed where her little brother lay sleeping. Mihir had been in bed for the last two days. The fever had gone down, but he still appeared pale as buffalo's milk. His eyes were the color of turmeric powder. Although Mihir was eating and keeping his food down, Maya knew that he needed another dosage of medicine. The city doctor was far away, and Maya vaguely remembered his address. Maya rushed to the bed to feel Mihir's forehead one last time and decided to leave for the city. She had been unable to make up her mind the whole morning. I have to go now if I want to be home by sunset, Maya thought to herself and ordered her mind to be calm. After leaving several notes explaining the whereabouts of the food, juice, and herself all over Mihir's room, Maya wrapped the shawl tightly around her arms. She locked the house from the outside and left. After walking a few blocks, Maya remembered that she needed her rubber boots and umbrella. Maya said a few inaudible words of anger at her lack of attention, rushed back to the porch where she had left the umbrella and her boots, and resumed her journey with quicker steps. Maya had no idea that she could almost run in those awkward boots when she needed to. The whole time she was walking toward the city, Maya fretted over the important things she might have forgotten to do. Her feet mechanically moved in the direction of her destination. She failed to notice that not even stray dogs were out in this weather. It doesn't even feel like summer, Maya thought, wishing she had worn a jacket instead of her mother's shawl. The sun was nowhere to be seen among the grey clouds, and Maya had already lost the track of time. "In the monsoon months It rains to make me wet How to I console My one lonely heart?" Maya started singing so she would not feel alone. Now, she had understood why her mother always sang while doing chores. She would sing while doing dishes, cooking, or cleaning the house. Wow! Ma sings all the time, Maya realized. Because her mother sang so much, her house had felt unusually quiet without her. If I had brought along the radio, I would have at least known when they unblocked the roads! Maya laughed thinking of all the things she planned on carrying for one trip she was taking to the city. "Like I am going on a voyage!" she said out loud and thought about her mother who often spoke to herself—accidentally. "Take care of each other, we'll be back in two days," Maya remembered her mother's words. Two days have turned into four long ones, Ma! she thought and realized that her feet had carried her to the city. She found herself standing near the auto rickshaw stop and talking to several drivers. Only one driver agreed to take her all the way to Dr. Ram's clinic. Maya asked about the auto rickshaw fare in advance because she had to spare enough money for the medicine. She also asked him if he was certain about the location of the clinic. "The doctor Ram's clinic? Forty Rupees," the driver said and looked curiously at her. "And, I know about every street in Kathmandu." Only at that moment did she realize that it was not a good idea for a girl to get in an auto rickshaw alone. "No thanks! But, can you give me directions to go there?" she asked. "How about you split the fare with another customer going that way? It will take you at least two hours to get there on foot. I will make sure you share the seat with a lady," the driver said. Maya contemplated about the offer when an elderly woman approached the driver and asked him if he could take her to Thimi. "Hey, girl, the clinic is on the way to Thimi! I won't even charge you for the fare if the lady agrees. I will try to find a customer coming back this way so I can drop you here when you are done at the clinic. You can split the fare again. I am not this kind every day so hop in before it rains," the driver said, smiling. "Yeah. I don't mind, but you have to hurry up. It will rain soon," the woman persuaded Maya. "Will you put on the radio while we go there? I have to hear the news about the landslide," Maya asked the driver and climbed in to the auto rickshaw. "I didn't know people in the city are also nice like us." "Sure," the driver said as he started the engine and turned on the radio. "I am also from the countryside, though. Why is a young girl like you out alone in this weather anyway?" "My brother is sick. I have to get him medicine," Maya replied. As she carefully listened to the news on the radio, she smiled. The blockade was over. Now, her parents could be home by tonight. She hoped to be home before they did so she could give Mihir one more dose of the medicine.
