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
analogy to compare the military might of the Utopians to that of other cultures.
anecdote to illustrate the circumstances under which Utopians go to war.
example to explain why the Utopians should be feared as superior warriors.
exciting fact to show the passion with which Utopians fight their enemies.

The emphasis on "madness" tells readers that this story is taking place within the narrator’s mind. Words like embellishments, fete, and masqueraders create a surreal atmosphere. Words like phantasm, bizarre, and delirious create a world that doesn’t seem real. Descriptions emphasize the beauty of the party and enjoyment of the partygoers to create a fanciful effect.
TEIRESIAS: But that’s what you are doing, when you claim my oracles are false Based on the passage, what is Teiresias’ attitude toward Creon? joyful accusatory optimistic remorseful
The correct answer is B. Accusatory
Explanation:
In writing the attitude of the author, narrator or characters towards some specific situation or subject is called tone, this attitude or tone can be identified by analyzing the election of words (diction), the use of descriptive details and in general terms the use of language of the author, narrator or character to refer to the subject or situation being described. Considering this, in the passage presented the character Teiresias refers to Creon by using the words "that's what you are doing when you claim my oracles are false" this means Teiresias is claiming Creon said his oracles are false and because of this Teiresias is accusing the other character of this. Therefore, the use of language suggests Teiresias' attitude toward Creon is mainly accusatory as he is blaming him for claiming Teiresias' oracles are false.
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.”

sadness for his soon-to-be-fatherless children
anticipation for upcoming adventures
reflection on his time with the Lilliputians
realization of his stubbornness for taking a second voyage,
The voyage was an ordeal, but it was worth it. They were on their way to America. The great majority of immigrants landed in New York City, at America’s busiest port. They never forgot their first glimpse of the Statue of Liberty. Edward Corsi, who later became United States Commissioner of Immigration, was a ten-year-old Italian immigrant when he sailed into New York harbor in 1907: My first impressions of the New World will always remain etched in my memory, particularly that hazy October morning when I first saw Ellis Island. The steamer Florida, fourteen days out of Naples, filled to capacity with 1600 natives of Italy, had weathered one of the worst storms in our captain’s memory; and glad we were, both children and grown-ups, to leave the open sea and come at last through the Narrows into the Bay.
My mother, my stepfather, my brother Giuseppe, and my two sisters, Liberta and Helvetia, all of us together, happy that we had come through the storm safely, clustered on the foredeck for fear of separation and looked with wonder on this miraculous land of our dreams.
Which line from the excerpt is an example of a quotation?
A. The voyage was an ordeal, but it was worth it.
B. They were on their way to America.
C. The steamer Florida, fourteen days out of Naples, filled to capacity with 1600 natives of Italy, had weathered one of the worst storms in our captain’s memory . . .
D. The great majority of immigrants landed in New York City, at America’s busiest port. They never forgot their first glimpse of the Statue of Liberty.
Answer:
The author writes that the ordeal of the voyage was worth it. He develops this idea by including a quotation that tells what the voyage was like and how immigrants felt about arriving to the US. The quotation gives credibility to the author's idea and makes the text stronger because it is from an immigrant who had firsthand experience making the voyage and arriving in the states.

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.

How do the settings of "Because I Could Not Stop for Death" and "Some Keep the Sabbath Going to Church" differ
"Because I Could Not Stop for Death" and "Some Keep the Sabbath Going to Church" are two different poems written by Emily Dickinson, and they have distinct settings that contribute to their unique themes and messages.
"Because I Could Not Stop for Death":
Setting: This poem is set in the context of a carriage ride with Death. The speaker describes how Death arrives as a polite and patient suitor to take her on a journey. The setting is more symbolic and abstract than concrete, as the journey represents the passage from life to death.
Time: The time in this poem is portrayed as timeless, as Death's carriage ride seems to transcend the conventional concept of time.
Atmosphere: The setting creates a calm and tranquil atmosphere. The description of the journey passing through various stages of life, such as a school, grain fields, and a sunset, creates a sense of inevitability and acceptance of mortality.
Symbolism: The setting serves as a powerful backdrop for exploring themes of mortality, the passage of time, and the acceptance of death as a natural part of life.
"Some Keep the Sabbath Going to Church":
Setting: This poem is set in a more earthly and domestic context. The speaker describes how she finds her own church in nature, away from the traditional church building. The setting is the speaker's personal experience in nature.
Time: The time in this poem is not explicitly mentioned, but it is clear that the speaker's communion with nature is an ongoing and personal experience, not limited to a specific time or day.
Atmosphere: The setting creates a peaceful and spiritual atmosphere. The speaker feels a sense of reverence and connection to the natural world, which serves as her place of worship.
Symbolism: The setting symbolizes the speaker's rejection of conventional religious practices in favor of a more personal and direct connection with the divine through nature. It emphasizes the idea that spirituality can be found outside the walls of a church.
