what is the message of this poem?

It is a story parallel to what is happening in the Usher house.

The palace in the description represents Roderick Usher, whose hair used to be blond, as the yellow banners that wave in the air; through his eyes (the windows of the palace), a harmonious mind could be perceived, and wise words used to flow from his mouth, described as a door of pearl and ruby. However, gloom befalls on Roderick; his hair turns gray, his eyes are reddened by tears, his thoughts are discordant, and his mouth utters only the wild laughter of a madman.

Answer:

It is a story parallel to what is happening in the Usher house.

Answer:

A. tragedy

Explanation:

In "A Wedding Gift," we meet Jacques Bourdillere, a bachelor who had no interest in marriage until he met Berthe. However, after they get married, Jacques has to face the consequences of his previous behaviour, which now threatens to destroy his chance at future happiness. The ending of the story is dramatic and unexpected. The characters do not get a happy ending. Therefore, we can conclude that this is an example of a tragedy.

- by providing supporting evidence of a prince believed to be clever because he chose a good servant. This is the correct option.

The author tells that one can judge a prince's intellingence through the servants he chooses. If a prince can choose a capable and faithful servant, the prince's high level of intelligence will be percieved. After this explanation, the writer gives an example. The prince of Siena has chosen a capable and faithful servant, Antonio da Venafro. Everyone knows about this. Therefore, noone will doubt that the prince of Siena is not intelligent. He is actually intelligent. He can think for himself or he can learn from others  about the difference between good and bad in a servant.

These options are wrong:

-by explaining the prince of Siena’s reasons for choosing Antonio da Venafro as his servant. The reasons are not explained. The writer uses this to exemplify his claim: a prince's intelligence can be measured by the choice he makes of his servants.

-by suggesting a solution to the problem of princes having to select intelligent and honest servants. The writer gives some tips to choose a good servant but this is not his claim. In fact, the writer's focus in on princes' intelligence. Besides, the servants should be honest and capable, not intelligent.

-by comparing and contrasting the qualities of Pandolfo Petrucci with those of his servant Antonio da Venafro. There is not any comparison in the text. It is assumed that Pandolfo Petrucci is intelligent and that his servant is faithful and capable.

Text structure allows the author to convey the central idea that a prince’s intelligence and virtues are judge by the quality of his servants, by explaining the prince's decision-making, comparing and contrasting traits with his servant, and providing third-party perspectives of the prince’s perceived intelligence.

In literature, the structure of a text is the arrangement of the story elements and how they are presented to the reader. In the context of your question, the text structure helps the author convey his central idea by positioning evidence and argument in a way that provides credible support for the notion that a prince is judged by the quality of his servants. Let's break down the strategies you highlighted.

To tie this back to the provided resources such as 'Plato's Republic' and 'Historical Perspectives on Government', consider how Plato emphasizes just and virtuous rulers — this could align with the author’s argument that a wise prince can be identified through his choice of honest and competent servants, just as a virtuous ruler sharpens society.

extremely precise consideration......

Answer:

When Justice Lewis Powell stated that racial and ethnic distinctions require the most exacting judicial examination, he meant these qualities required extremely precise consideration.

Explanation:

In the case of Allan Bakke being rejected admission in the University of California, Davis, in 1973 and 1974, he filed a case against the university citing that they had no right to deny admission to any student with regards to age when there are less qualified students from the minority section who are admitted. This became into what is now famously known as the case of the Regeants of the University of California v. Bakke. The case was transferred to the state supreme court due to it's involvement with the racial issue which was of prominence during that time. Justice Powell was part of the team working on the case.  The verdict of the court was that Bakke be granted admission and that universities/ educational institutions remove the special reservations policy and instead allow admission to students based on their merit and not based on race or minority status. And if any issue of racial and ethnic distinctions arise, they should be dealt with in the most exacting judicial examination required so that there is no discrimination involved. It doesn't mean that the issue of race or ethnicity be completely scraped but it should be dealt with extremely precise consideration.

To make the claim in the introduction stronger and more effective the writer should provide a clear viewpoint because this paragraph is confusing for the reader. The reason for this is that the paragraph starts claiming that robots can make our lives easier because they can assume more "human" roles and so leave us more free time in order to do things that we love but then it ends by stating that there are also disadvantages to this evolution. Consequently, it is not clear for the reader if the writer is in favor or against this evolution.

Making the language more informal wouldn't help because it wouldn't guarantee a clearer point of view. Moreover, offering an alternative solution doesn't seem to be the topic of this paragraph. Finally, a reference to the counterclaim as well as addressing it would be more appropriate to do in another paragraph.  

Answer:

Explanation:

In 'American Flag Stands For Tolerance,' Ronald J. Allen presents arguments against flag desecration to provide a balanced perspectives & provoke critical thinking in readers about the respect for national symbols and freedom of expression.

In the second paragraph of 'American Flag Stands For Tolerance,' Ronald J. Allen explains why some individuals argue that flag desecration should be illegal, posing the question to the reader, 'what is the harm in insisting upon a modicum of respect for the flag?'. The author presents these views to the audience for two main reasons. Firstly, he aims to provide balanced perspectives on the issue, that is, presenting both sides of the argument in an unbiased manner. This approach allows readers to understand different viewpoints and make an informed judgment.

Secondly, by presenting these ideas, the author challenges readers to critically think about their stance on the issue. The question encourages the readers to reflect on the value they place on national symbols like the flag and the extents to which its respect should be enforced by law. Therefore, while it generates awareness of the arguments against flag burning, it also prompts commentary on questions of national identity, respect for symbols, and freedom of expression

The answer is also on APEX "Hopeless".

The adjective that best describes the tone of Endgame is Hopeless. The correct option is b.

The author's attitude or feelings towards the subject matter or audience are referred to as the tone of a literary work.

The tone of Samuel Beckett's play "Endgame" is characterised by hopelessness, despair, and bleakness.

The characters are trapped in an apparent never-ending cycle of monotony and futility, unable to escape their circumstances or find meaning or purpose in their lives.

The dialogue, which is often repetitive, fragmented, and darkly comic, reflects this tone, as does the setting, which is confined and claustrophobic.

The overall tone of "Endgame" is one of despair and hopelessness, reflecting the human condition in a cruel and meaningless world.

Thus, the correct option is b.

Four is definitely a choice. The author is drawing a conclusion on what really happens with the use of 19th century fictional writing practices.  That conclusion comes entirely from his own background, and his own experience with the literature he has engaged reading and commenting on.

You can't really use 1 and 2 although you could use both if you had the sentence that was after both of them.

So that leaves you only with three. The "enhance the illusion of reality" is a good phrase and fits the criteria that we are supposed to use in answering this question.

You highlighted everything right! Except I feel like sentence (9) is complex though?

The mother in the text is depicted as a nonentity, possibly to underscore society's perception and treatment of mothers. The lack of her characterization emphasizes not her individual traits, but an overarching theme of motherhood's societal role. It also possibly seeks to challenge conventional character development and readers' expectations.

In the text, the character of the mother is portrayed as a nonentity, rendering her somewhat invisible and unimportant. This characterization aligns with Revised Crittenden's argument that mothers, notwithstanding the importance of their role, are often taken for granted and disrespected in society. This depiction, however, doesn't extol the virtues of motherhood, but rather highlights the text's adherence or deviation from conventional character development and point of view.

The author potentially makes the mother a nonentity to highlight the societal under-appreciation of mothers and their work. Furthermore, this lacklustre portrayal might aim to challenge the reader's expectations and incite a critical re-evaluation of society's attitude towards mothers.

The mother's character, to some extent, reflects a societal issue more than an individual characterization. Whilst her three-dimensional characteristics are scant, her role serves as a conduit to greater societal discourse in the narrative, contributing to the overarching narrative arcs and themes of the text.

The mother in Flannery O'Connor's 'A Good Man is Hard to Find' is depicted as a non-entity, reflecting O'Connor's thematic emphasis on the complexities of motherhood and societal underappreciation, characteristic of her Southern gothic literary style.

Flannery O'Connor's story, "A Good Man is Hard to Find," features a mother character who has been purposely crafted as a non-entity. This portrayal likely aligns with O'Connor's common themes which include explorations of motherhood, and its complexities, as well as her own personal experiences and Orthodox Catholicism. In literature, mothers are often taken for granted, as expressed by Revised Crittenden, which might parallel the mother's insignificant presence in the text. O'Connor's use of Southern gothic elements means her characters often represent larger themes or ideologies, and the mother's lack of definition might speak to a societal commentary on the underappreciation of motherhood or the constraints placed upon women in the settings she explores.

Answer: B. Johnson used the shift in political power to give Southern states and former Confederate soldiers greater power to create laws that limited rights for African-Americans.

Andrew Johnson was the 17th President of the United States, serving from 1865 to 1869, right after president Abraham Lincoln.

Johnson continued the process of Reconstruction in Southern States. However, he adopted a different strategy from that of Lincoln. He supported the decision of Southern States to reelect a lot of their former leaders, and to pass laws restricting the rights of African Americans. Johnson also opposed the Fourteenth Amendment, which gave citizenship to former slaves. He was impeached by the House of Representatives and narrowly avoided removal from office. He eventually left office in 1869.

Slow: Is alike with foe, because they both rhyme, and is different, because it means to be moving at a low speed. Foe: Alike in the sense that it rhymes, and different because it means your enemy or opponent. These two words can also be alike, because they both mean "annoying things".

Answer:

Slow and foe have similar negative or pessimistic connotations, since slow can refer to something or somebody dull and foe to an adversary. As a result, both words can be used to describe things or people that are irritating. Besides, both of them have the same vowel sounds, /ou/.

On the other hand, they are different because slow is an adjective and foe is a noun.

A sentence fragment is a group of words that looks like a sentence, but isn't. To be a sentence, a group of words must have at least one independent clause ( a group of words that contains a subject and a verb and can stand on its own as a complete thought). Taking this into account, the answers to your questions would be the following ones:

1) B (Near the old pharmacy)

3) C (Trying to feel ready for opening night)

4) A (Especially if you have children)

5) B

6) C

7) C

8) D

9) B

10) B

The answer is C. the most passive sentence from all of these is, The spilled milk was cleaned up by our beloved custodian Mr. Bradley. A has an exclamation point . B has the word quickly in it showing fast action which is tense. D is very close but C has the word beloved making it passive.

Making prediction is an important reading comprehension strategy and you need to identify the literary theme in order to do so. The theme is the reason why the author has written the piece; the message the author wants to convey through the story. If you know the theme, you can make prediction about how the story will progress.

In the Happy Prince, the theme is that appearance does not always represent one's true feeling; for example The big metal statue of the Happy Prince “feels” the compassion and sacrifices himself for the oppressed.

Theme is the "story" behind the story - what the writer wants to convey through the story. The message can sometimes be hidden and requires deep understanding of the story before the theme can be identified. But other stories, it can be identified easily.

In the Happy Prince, one of the theme is the love between the Prince and the swallow. Such perfect love exists such that when the swallow kisses the Prince, their hearts break.
