"Yesterday, December 7, 1941—a date which will live in infamy—the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.
The United States was at peace with that nation and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its Government and its Emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific. Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in Oahu, the Japanese Ambassador to the United States and his colleague delivered to the Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. While this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or armed attack.
It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time the Japanese Government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.
The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian Islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. Very many American lives have been lost. In addition American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu.
Yesterday the Japanese Government also launched an attack against Malaya. Last night Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong. Last night Japanese forces attacked Guam. Last night Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands. Last night the Japanese attacked Wake Island. This morning the Japanese attacked Midway Island.
Japan has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area. The facts of yesterday speak for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation.
As Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense.
Always will we remember the character of the onslaught against us. No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.
I believe I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make very certain that this form of treachery shall never endanger us again.
Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger.
With confidence in our armed forces—with the unbounded determination of our people—we will gain the inevitable triumph—so help us God.
I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December seventh, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Empire."
What is the main effect of the line Always will we remember the character of the onslaught against us?
To create outrage in listeners that would encourage them to rally to the cause
To imply citizens would soon view the attack differently
To remind legislators to act quickly while public sentiment was high
To suggest a way of viewing the events for those who were still uncommitted
The answer is choice A. “To create outrage in listeners that would encourage them to rally to the cause”. The circumstances required people’s support, and the line was said to ignite a burning passion in the hearts of the listeners.
To create outrage in listeners that would encourage them to rally to the cause
By saying that the American people will always remember Pearl Harbor, shows the enormity of the attack. It further emphasizes the catastrophic leveling of the Navy and Pearl Harbor. This then helps to create outrage and drives the listeners to want to seek revenge, to retaliate, to join in the war the US has so carefully been trying to stay out of.
Read the rough draft of a student’s conclusion to an argumentative editorial. (1) Year-round schooling would help student achievement. (2) Not so much information would have to be crammed into nine months. (3) Furthermore, the elimination of long breaks, particularly summer break, would significantly reduce "learning loss” and the additional time wasted at the beginning of each academic year to reteach previously learned material. (4) It is clear that year-round schooling helps students learn and retain more. (5) The United States is not the only country to experiment with a year-round school schedule. (6) Although many still claim that evidence about year-round school and its link to higher achievement is inconclusive, these people need to open their eyes and see that students in these schools consistently score higher on certain assessments than students who attend schools with traditional nine-month calendars. (7) It is about time that we replaced our outdated and inefficient school calendars. Why should sentence 4 be removed from this conclusion?
It is not necessary to omit sentence 4 from this conclusion. It offers a succinct and straightforward summary of the essay's core point, which is that year-round instruction improves students' learning and retention. By omitting a powerful closing statement that summarizes the author's opinion on the subject, sentence 4 would weaken the conclusion.
What is Sentence?A sentence is a grammatically correct language construction that expresses a notion or thought. The subject, or the thing, location, or idea being described, and the predicate—the action, state of being, or connection between the subject and the rest of the sentence—make up the majority of a description.
Depending on the communication's context and goal, a sentence may be as brief as one word or as long as several paragraphs. To help clarify their meaning and make phrases easier to understand, sentences in writing are typically separated by punctuation, such as periods, question marks, and exclamation points.
Therefore, it is not necessary to omit sentence 4 from this conclusion.

Read the excerpt from Act II of Hamlet. Hamlet: Slanders, sir: for the satirical rogue
Which is a metaphor?
Answer:
Their eyes purging thick amber and plum-tree gum.
Explanation:
William Shakespeare's "Hamlet" is the story of revenge taken by the young Hamlet on his father's killer, his uncle Claudius. Claudius had not only taken the kingship but also married the wife of his own brother King Hamlet, Gertrude.
The provided excerpt from Act II is from the scene where Polonius had tried to show or proof the insanity of Hamlet to King Claudius and Gertrude. The metaphor in this excerpt is "Their eyes purging thick amber and plum-tree gum". This is a description of the book's contents that he was reading, to Polonius. Metaphors are words used to compare one thing with another, but which is not literally applicable. So, the metaphor uses words like "purging thick amber and plum tree-gum" which is impossible to happen in the real world. It is just a metaphorical comparison of old people.

Which lines in this excerpt from Arthur Conan Doyle's “The Contest” suggest that Emperor Nero was ruthless?
An hour later the shepherd was well on his way to his mountain home, and about the same time the Emperor, having received the Chaplet of Olympia for the incomparable excellence of his performance, was making inquiries with a frowning brow as to who the insolent person might be who had dared to utter such contemptuous criticisms.
“Bring him to me here this instant,” said he, “and let Marcus with his knife and branding-iron be in attendance.”
“If it please you, great Caesar,” said Arsenius Platus, the officer of attendance, “the man cannot be found, and there are some very strange rumours flying about.”
“Rumours!” cried the angry Nero. “What do you mean, Arsenius? I tell you that the fellow was an ignorant upstart, with the bearing of a boor and the voice of a peacock. I tell you also that there are a good many who are as guilty as he among the people, for I heard them with my own ears raise cheers for him when he had sung his ridiculous ode. I have half a mind to burn their town about their ears so that they may remember my visit.”
“It is not to be wondered at if he won their votes, Caesar,” said the soldier, “for from what I hear it would have been no disgrace had you, even you, been conquered in this conquest.”
“I conquered! You are mad, Arsenius. What do you mean?”
“None know him, great Caesar! He came from the mountains, and he disappeared into the mountains. You marked the wildness and strange beauty of his face. It is whispered that for once the great god Pan has condescended to measure himself against a mortal.”

Which word has the most negative connotation?
stingy
thrifty
frugal
prudent
The correct answer is A. Stingy
Explanation:
In language, the connotation of a word refers to the ideas, images, concepts people have about some word and that can differ from their literal or dictionary meaning. In this way, in a dictionary, words with the same meaning can have a positive connotation, a neutral connotation or a negative connotation. In the case of the words presented all of the words frugal, prudent, thrifty and prudent in the dictionary are adjective that defines someone who careful spares money or does not like to spare a lot of money. However, while thrifty, frugal and prudent have mainly a positive or neutral connotation of someone that knows how to spend money and avoid spending money excessively, the word stingy has a negative connotation as it is related with someone unwilling to spend money or not generous which is not adequate. Therefore, the word with the most negative connotation is stingy.

In this excerpt, Nick makes it clear that Gatsby does not seem to be like the other people around him. He picks his words with care, as if he was playing a part. He also seems to be trying too hard, as Nick tells us that his formality of speech "just missed being absurd." It seems like Gatsby is not as sophisticated as everyone else, but he does not want anyone to notice. However, Nick can see through it, developing the theme that Gatsby is an outsider in this luxurious world.
Read the passage from Utopia.
This was the only ground of that war in which they engaged with the Nephelogetes against the Aleopolitanes, a little before our time; for the merchants of the former having, as they thought, met with great injustice among the latter, which (whether it was in itself right or wrong) drew on a terrible war, in which many of their neighbours were engaged; and their keenness in carrying it on being supported by their strength in maintaining it, it not only shook some very flourishing states and very much afflicted others, but, after a series of much mischief ended in the entire conquest and slavery of the Aleopolitanes, who, though before the war they were in all respects much superior to the Nephelogetes, were yet subdued; but, though the Utopians had assisted them in the war, yet they pretended to no share of the spoil.
The purpose of this passage is to provide an
