Which two sentences in this excerpt from John F. Kennedy's inaugural address demonstrate the use of antithesis as a rhetorical device?
We observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom—symbolizing an end as well as a beginning–signifying renewal as well as change. For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forbears prescribed nearly a century and three-quarters ago.
The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe–the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God.
We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans–born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage–and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.

John F. Kennedy's inaugural address uses antithesis in two sentences emphasizing the contrast between a 'victory of party' and 'celebration of freedom' and the potential of humankind to abolish 'human poverty' and 'human life.'
The use of antithesis as a rhetorical device is evident in two specific sentences of John F. Kennedy's inaugural address. The first instance is: "We observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom—symbolizing an end as well as a beginning–signifying renewal as well as change."
This sentence uses contrasting ideas of 'victory of party' and 'celebration of freedom' along with 'an end' and 'a beginning' to emphasize the significance of the moment. Another example of antithesis is the sentence: "For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life." Here, Kennedy contrasts 'human poverty' with 'human life,' indicating the extreme potential of human actions.
Which of the following sentences uses reflexive pronouns correctly?
A. My sisters and myself shared a large bedroom.
B. Me myself beat the school's track record.
C. Jason brought three sandwiches for himself.
D. My cousins and I spent the day picking apples
Answer:
C. Jason brought three sandwiches for himself.
Explanation:
Reflexive Pronouns are pronouns used when the subject and the object of a sentence are the same: they turn the action back on the subject. We can easily identify them because they start and end with the suffix -self (singular) or -selves (plural): myself, yourself, herself, himself, itself, themselves, yourselves and ourselves.
Sentence C is the one that uses the reflexive pronoun correctly because the subject Jason and the object himself are the same, and the fuction of this latter is to turn the action back on the subject.

C. It helps convey the woman's utter exhaustion.
Explanation:
In this poem, we learn about a mother, and the exhaustion that she feels after dealing with her motherly responsibilities. The mother feels overwhelmed by everything she has to do, and more than anything, by the fact that she has no time or energy to dedicate to herself. The only moment she finds that is just for her is an hour in the middle of the day. We see her drag a chair to sit in the garage and stare at nothing. This image conveys how incredibly exhausted the woman is.

Read the excerpt from Enrique’s Journey.
Enrique greets the dawn without incident. The stars recede. The sky lightens behind the mountains to the east, and mist rises off the fields on both sides of the tracks. Men trot by on burros with tin milk containers strapped to their saddles, starting their morning deliveries.
Which narrative technique does the author include in this excerpt, and how does it support the author’s purpose?
A. The author uses dialogue to evoke a sense of happiness.
B. The author uses characterization to show bitter feelings.
D. The author uses structure to show the sequence of events.
E. The author uses setting to show a sense of accomplishment.
The author of Enrique's Journey uses setting to create a vivid atmosphere, implying a sense of calmness or accomplishment after a long journey, rather than using dialogue, characterization, or structure.
Explanation:From the excerpt provided from Enrique's Journey, the narrative technique utilized by the author can be best described as the use of setting to convey a particular mood or atmosphere. The details of the rising sun, the stars receding, the lightening sky, and the men starting their morning deliveries work to establish a vivid setting that captures a tranquil and routine start to the day. This sense of tranquility and routine could entail a sense of normalcy or even accomplishment after a long night, supporting the author's purpose of showing Enrique's enduring journey towards a hopeful morning. There is no direct mention of dialogue or characterization that evokes happiness or bitter feelings, nor is the focus on the structure to show the sequence of events. Instead, the description of the setting takes precedence, helping to immerse the reader in Enrique's world and experience.

Note: The characters in the two passages live in different historical eras.
Passages:
A: It was freezing cold out on the Prairie, but Daniel trudged on. He had to find firewood. His mother was ill. She needed the warmth of a fire. So many people on the wagon train had died. Daniel was scared. He wondered if they would ever reach Oregon by the end of 1861.
B: "Hello, Chicago Power Company?" Bob said into the phone. "I need you to come fix our furnace. The heat won't come on, and it's very cold. My mother's sick. It's a fairly new furnace, too. Mom said it was installed in 2005. Can you come right away?" He hung up and got blankets out of the closet to cover his mother until help came.
Compare and contrast the two characters in these passages. In your answer, be sure to identify the setting of each passage and the conflict faced by each boy. How does the historical era in which each boy lives affect his conflict? Use events and details from the passages to support your ideas.
There are two different scenes in the passage.
The first one is set on the outside of a wagon train before or during the year 1861, while the second scene is set on a house after the year 2005.
The first boy is trying to get some wood to warm his mother who is ill and he has to walk to get it. The second boy has her mother ill too, but he has to face with the problem of electricity, so he just makes a phone call to the power company to fix it.
The main difference between the historical era in which they live, when trying to solve the conflict, is that one has to solve the problem himself while the other boy makes a phone call and another person solves the problem for him.
The main difference between the two boys in this passage is the fact that they live in different time periods.
In the first passage, we can identify the setting as the 19th century, and we can also observe that the boy and his family are in the Prairies, traveling to Oregon. The location appears to be the same in the second passage (Chicago). However, the child is not travelling. Moreover, the time period is the 21st century. This means that Chicago is now a developed place, and that the child and his family are able to enjoy modern technology such as a furnace or the telephone.
Nevertheless, we also see that both children face a similar problem. In both examples, the mother of each child is sick and cold, and the children have to find a way to warm her up.
Read the following excerpt and pay close attention to the words the author uses: With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day. In a paragraph of four to six sentences, identify three words or phrases with positive connotations and explain how these words influence the paragraph. Be sure to specifically answer the following questions in your response: What images or ideas are associated with each word? How do these words influence the meaning and tone of this passage? Use proper spelling and grammar in your response.
In the excerpt from Martin Luther King's speech "I have a Dream," three words with positive connotations are hope, brotherhood and together. Hope gives a feeling of expectation or desire for something to happen. Brotherhood implies a community of people who share a common interest and remain united. Meanwhile, together gives the impression that people are in proximity to and in collaboration with other people. The words influence the meaning and tone of the passage because the ideas or images associated with them are pleasant, and they arouse enjoyable emotions in the reader or listener.

Which excerpt from "The Roller Coaster is the best example of external conflict?
"Oh come on," Teresa said. "You have to ride with me; we’re best friends!" Cecelia felt her stomach turn, but she knew she had to stand up for herself.
With a mischievous smile and a soft jab to Connor’s shoulder, Teresa spoke instead, "Nice try, but she’s riding with me."
Trying to keep up while her friends walked rapidly in the direction of the fun zone, Cecelia criticized herself: Why had she agreed? Why couldn’t she just tell the truth?
As she struggled to reassure herself that she had made the right decision, Cecelia noticed Connor approaching the bench with a bag of popcorn. . . .
Answer:
With a mischievous smile and a soft jab to Connor’s shoulder, Teresa spoke instead, "Nice try, but she’s riding with me."
Explanation:
An external conflict refers to a struggle or problem that occurs between a character and an aoutside force. An oustside force means something that is out of his/her body. Most of times this conflict is between the main character and another character, the natural world, or the society.
It's opposite is the internal conflict in which the character struggles with himself, with his internal emotions and weaknesses.
In this case the conflict is between Connor and Teresa, they are both trying make someone ride with them.

Read the following excerpt from the text:
"Nelly, will you keep a secret for me?" she pursued, kneeling down by me and lifting her winsome eyes to my face with that sort of look which turns off bad temper even when one has all the right in the world to indulge it."
Which word could replace winsome in the context of the text?
Answer:
Attractive or appealing.
Explanation:
Based on the sentence frame and meaning, the word "winsome" is suggestive of an appearance or expression that is hard to resist or deny. The speaker also mentions that it was a "look which turns off bad temper even when one has all the right in the world to indulge it." So, for the new word to have the same effect or meaning, it can be replaced with the words "attractive" or "appealing", which have the same meaning. They also have the same implication of the irresistible and pleading expression that the sentence demands.

A magazine editor wants to do an article about current trends in teen buying habits. He assigns a journalism intern to research this idea.
Which source would most likely yield the best information for this article?
A direct interview with five teenaged girls who love to shop for clothing and shoes
A graph showing the dollar value of purchases by people 18 to 25 over a ten-year period
A research report by a credit card company detailing purchases of teens between 2010 and 2014
A voluntary survey among high school boys on how much money they spend each week
A direct interview hope this helps
Answer:
The source which would most likely yield the best information for the article is the following one:
A direct interview with five teenaged girls who love to shop for clothing and shoes.
Explanation:
It is a direct source, and as so it can offer the most reliable information. Plus, teens tend to like the same things, since they are usually trend-oriented. If you can interview five of them, you have the best source you could get. It is like interviewing a band about being on stage rather than interviewing their manager: which do you think is a more reliable source?
The alternative "A research report by a credit card company detailing purchases of teens between 2010 and 2014" must be ruled out, since it limits the subject to purchases made with credit cards, and not every teenager has got one.
