Why does Tammet call his birth date blue
Daniel Tammet calls his birth date blue because he associates the number 31 with the color blue. He has synesthesia, a neurological condition that causes people to experience different senses together.
For Tammet, numbers and letters have colors, shapes, and textures. The number 31 is blue for him, and so is his birth date, January 31, 1979.
In his book Born on a Blue Day, Tammet describes how he sees numbers and letters. He says that the number 31 is "a deep, rich blue, like the ocean on a clear day." He also says that the letter "A" is "a bright yellow, like the sun."
Tammet's synesthesia is a very rare condition, but it is not unique to him. There are other people who experience synesthesia, and they often have different associations between numbers, letters, and colors. For example, some people might see the number 31 as red, while others might see it as green.

I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interrèd with their bones. So let it be with Caesar. Background information: "The Evil That Men Do” is the title of a song by the English heavy metal band Iron Maiden. The lyrics of the chorus say that people’s evil deeds live on. To emphasize the point, Iron Maiden invokes a common cultural allusion. reverses a familiar literary allusion. makes a joke about a historical allusion. plays on a well-known religious allusion.

From the given excerpt, it is understood that the people’s evils deeds live on. The evil that men do lives after them however the good deeds which they have done gets over as their bones do after they die. This must be with Caesar and all the men who have done both the evils and the good deeds.

It is said, O King, that there were once in a city three sisters, who lived together and earned their bread by spinning flax. The youngest was also the prettiest, radiant and graceful as the moon. Her elder sisters, who were born to a different mother, hated and envied her, both for her beauty and for her skill at spinning.
One day the youngest went to the market, and, finding herself with a small coin left over, bought a little clay pot to hold flowers.
“You silly girl,” shrieked the sisters. “We can’t waste our money on fancies and fripperies.”
She made no answer, but placed a single rose in the pot, and sat down to her spinning.
The days passed, in drudgery and silent toil. The two older sisters kept nagging the poor girl and making fun of her. Her only pleasure in life was to fill the little pot with flowers, which she could look at and smell as she worked.
Now one day the sisters were out, and the girl, alone with her thoughts, burst into tears. “Oh, little pot,” she said, “you are my only friend. My sisters have gone out and left me to work all by myself, without anything to eat.”
And the little pot heard her, and brought forth sweetmeats for her to eat. For there was a jinni in the pot, and whatever the mistress of the pot asked for, the jinni would provide.
The girl kept the secret of the pot from her sisters, but whenever they were out, she would ask for whatever she fancied. She would eat and drink her fill, and dress up in beautiful clothes; but when her sisters came home, she was always careful to be back in her rags and hard at work at her spinning wheel.
Now it happened that the king announced that he was going to hold a great feast for all the people of the city. Everyone was invited, even the three poor sisters.
The two older sisters dressed up in their threadbare best, and set out for the feast. “You can’t come,” they said. “You would shame us in those rags. You’re not fit for such fine company.”
But as soon as they were gone, the girl asked her pot for a beautiful green robe and scarves and garments of the finest silk. She asked, too, for sparkling rings and turquoise bracelets, and gold anklets studded with diamonds to wear around her slender ankles.
When she entered the king’s harem, where the women’s part of the entertainments was being held, everyone there gasped at her beauty, and at the richness of her magic clothes and jewels. Even her sisters were moved to tears at her grace and charm, and never guessed that this lovely princess was their own despised sister.
The girl slipped away before the end of the feast, so as to be home first. She took off the diamond anklets in order to be able to run faster, and in her haste she did not notice that she dropped one. It fell into the water trough where the king’s horses drank.
Next morning the horses refused to drink, shying away from the trough in terror, for the anklet shone and flared beneath the water, frightening them.
The groom took the jewel to the king’s son. He turned it around and around in his hands, saying nothing. Finally he declared, “The girl whom this anklet fits shall be my wife!”

Reflexive pronouns are the ones we use when the active person in the sentences is also the receiver of the action, in sentence two the reflexive pronoun is "himself"
Read the following passage:
For a long time, I refused to forgive Philippe for what he
had said. I held on to my unforgiveness in the hopes that
by drinking this poison I might kill my enemy. But soon it
was my insides that were burning.
How does the metaphor in this passage most clearly support the author's
purpose?
A. It illustrates unforgiveness as a poison to show how it can be
administered incorrectly.
B. It makes Philippe seem like poison to show how he damaged the
speaker's inner being
C. It compares unforgiveness to drinking poison to show that it hurts
the offended more than the offender.
D. It likens enemies to poison to show that sometimes we don't know
we've been harmed until it's too late.
Hello :)
I'm inferring that the answer is C because in the passage it states "I held on to my unforgiveness in the hopes that by drinking this poison I might kill my enemy." basically stating that she was holding a grudge against this person and she hoped that it would hurt them, then she proceeded on stating "But soon it was my insides that were burning.". metaphorically speaking her insides weren't actually hurting from any "poison", she is basically saying that she was the only one who was hurting from holding this grudge. I'm inferring that it is C because that answers makes the most sense.
It compares unforgiveness to drinking poison to show that it hurts the offended more than the offender. this is how the metaphor in this passage most clearly support the author's purpose. Hence option C is correct.
What is passage ?a route, path, channel, or track by which anything travels; a means of escape or admission. Clearing ice through channels is done by special ships. a hallway or lobby providing access to several rooms or areas of a building or flat. The end of the tunnel is where her office is.
the path or direction that a person, object, or movement takes. a hallway, corridor, etc. the nasal passages are an opening or entry into, through, or out of anything. a trip over the sea between two points: a choppy transit over the English Channel.
due to the passage's statement that "I held on to my unforgiveness in the hopes that by ingesting this poison I might kill my enemy." But suddenly it was my insides that were burning, she said, essentially indicating that she was harbouring resentment towards this person and that she wanted it would damage them. She is essentially stating that she was the only one who was hurting from harbouring this anger and that, metaphorically speaking, there was no "poison" causing her insides to hurt. Because that response makes the most logic, I am assuming that it is C.

How are Brueghel's painting Landscape with the Fall of Icarus and Ovid's "The
Story of Daedalus and Icarus' similar?
Answer:
the correct answer is both show Icarus drowning after the wax holding his wings together has melted.
Brueghel's painting Landscape with the Fall of Icarus and Ovid's "The Story of Daedalus and Icarus" are similar because they both show Icarus drowning after ignoring his father's adivce and flying to close to the sun.
In the painting, we can see Icarus's feet sinking into the water. And, in Ovid's story, the melting of the wax holding Icarus's wings together along with his falling into the sea is clearly described.
Answer:
The answer is:
Both describes Icauru's fall
Explanation:
In Ovid's Metamorphosies, he writes:
"When the boy began to delight in his daring flight, and abandoning his guide, drawn by desire for the heavens, soared higher. His nearness to the devouring sun softened the fragrant wax that held the wings: and the wax melted: he flailed with bare arms, but losing his oar-like wings, could not ride the air. Even as his mouth was crying his father’s name, it vanished into the dark blue sea, the Icarian Sea, called after him." (OVID. Metamorphosis. Bk VIII:183-235 Daedalus and Icarus. Univesity of Virginia).
Pieter Bruegel depicts this moment in his painting. However, instead of painting Icarus falling from the sky, he depicts the moment when he drowns in the ocean. We can see only his legs shaking over the water, but there's no sight of his father Dedalus. Another interesting point of this painting is that Icarus is not the central character. Instead, Bruegel focuses on the landscape and its surroundings. People who are working there doesn't stop his job to help Icarus. They just continue to work. It's an interesting piece of art!

Explanation:
write a letter to the editor of newspaper complaining about traffic problems
Answer:
Through the columns of your reputed newspaper, I would like to make everyone aware about the traffic jam in our city . Due to this huge population and the increased number of public and private cars, the city often faces bad traffics.
The number of people living in this city, the cars they are using and the public transportation they need is higher than the number of roads. As a result, the traffic jam often occurs and people have to suffer. Another reason for the traffic jam is the unauthorised parking of cars in the street. People do not often follow the exact traffic rules and because of their sincerity, we often face the horrible traffics in the street.
The traffic jam in our city is one of the terrible things the city dwellers have to face. People get stuck on the roads and they have no idea when they would be able to reach their destination. Because of this jam, people often miss important schedules, students can’t reach school in time and the outcome is devastating. Because of the jam in the street people have to schedule accordingly and the total time killed in the street is simply a waste of time.
There are many steps which should be taken to reduce the jam in the street. First of all the people who are driving in the street should very strictly follow the traffic rules. The traffic control authority should more strictly apply the rules. The number of private automobiles is increasing rapidly. Many single families own multiple cars and thus increase the number of total cars driving in the street. The rule should be imposed on purchasing cars and the price of the fuel could be increased as well. The public transportation system should be improved so that people can travel on public cars. The city has more population than it can comprise and decentralisation of industries, offices and educational institutes can be another solution to this abhorrent problem.

Answer: B. Trenton Place is also home to Big Sky Theater. . . . one of the largest theaters in the city, equipped to host concerts, plays, and seminars.
Explanation: B is the answer because it doesn't leave you feeling like you're missing a piece of information when reading it, unlike the other options. In option A, it only talks about the building itself, not what it's used for. Option C gives you a specific example, which isn't helpful because it doesn't give you a clear idea of Trenton Place. Option D is hardly important because it's talking about a prediction of crowd numbers.
Hope this helped!
The correct answer is B) Trenton Place is also home to Big Sky Theater. . . . one of the largest theaters in the city, equipped to host concerts, plays, and seminars.
Size matters when you are hosting a conference. Trenton Place is the largest convention center in the country, boasting 2.6 million square feet of space.

The best use of ellipses to shorten the passage is "Trenton Place is also home to Big Sky Theater. . . . one of the largest theaters in the city, equipped to host concerts, plays, and seminars."
In grammatical terms, an ellipse is a punctuation mark that uses three dots after a word. It is used to omit a word or words in a paragraph. It is helpful to save some space or to eliminate some words that are somewhat not necessary to understand the context of the sentence. In this case, when we use "Trenton Place is also home to Big Sky Theater. . . . one of the largest theaters in the city equipped to host concerts, plays, and seminars," we are including the most important elements of the sentence.

Which statement best summarized the conflict resolution of “by the waters of Babylon”?
Answer:
The story is set in New York many years after an apocalypse, and communities have formed in the area’s forest and hills.
Explanation:
According to a different source, these are the options that are included with this question:
The story is set in New York City during an apocalypse, in which people are trying to prevent a disaster by reinventing religion.The story is set in New York many years after an apocalypse, and communities have formed in the area’s forest and hills.The story is set in postapocalyptic New York City, where society is creating new technology that can rebuild the cities.The story is set in New York immediately after an apocalypse, when people have become very religious and are focused on farming.The story "By the Waters of Babylon" focuses on a community in the future which is located close to New York. This story takes place after an apocalypse, when all culture as we know it has disappeared. The few surviving humans have associated in groups that live in the forests and hills of the area.
Final answer:
The conflict resolution in 'By the Waters of Babylon' involves the protagonist, John, understanding his society's past and seeking to rebuild his civilization with this new knowledge. This mirrors historical resolutions in Babylonian culture where learning and adaptation were essential.
Explanation:
The story 'By the Waters of Babylon' by Stephen Vincent Benét deals with a post-apocalyptic future where a character named John, the son of a priest, takes a journey of knowledge and discovery. The conflict resolution within the story involves John's realization and understanding of the truth about his society and the past civilizations, particularly the advanced society that existed before the 'Great Burning.' He comes to understand that his people, the 'hill people,' are living in the ruins of a much more advanced society, which they call 'the place of the gods.' John resolves to continue seeking knowledge and to share this with his own people in the hope of rebuilding civilization.
In terms of the historical context, the ancient Babylonian culture faced various conflicts and challenges regarding agricultural matters, as evidenced by their sophisticated laws on irrigation and agriculture, reflecting the tensions within their society. Similarly, the resolution of conflicts in the past, such as the peace formed between Media and Lydia due to superstitious fears, and the social adjustments required for successful agriculture in Babylonia due to the nature of the land, mirror the themes of learning from the past and adapting that are present in Benét's narrative.
