In a dark room, the lights flicked on. It revealed two men looking at each other, both sitting on a chair across from one another. Both wearing suits. One man seemed notably bored. He seemed disinterested.
His face said it all: "I don't want to be here."
The other had intertwined his fingers together on the table. He on the other hand, seemed concerned.
He heavily observed him, frowning, extracting the details of his appearance.
You might be wondering: What is this nonsense? Well, here's some clues.
The walls had been draped with shadows, chimney choked with ivy, and windows with jasmine. This had all the appropriate externals and characteristics for a sketchy and suspenseful scene.
They were about to make a deal.
The guy who plastered an seemingly disengaged behavior had been secretly holding back his laughter.
He was about to scam this dude.
Was it for him? Yes, and no.
For the sketchy international non-profit organization he was working for. If he managed to scam him, he would've gotten some of the divvy.
Afterall, he was one of their best clients. This would've been a breeze.
"So, you up to the deal?" his heavy russian accent soaked between the words.
(This took 1 hour, so could I have brainliest? Lol.)
Based on what readers learn from the excerpt from "The Interlopers," Why didn't the two neighbors shoot one another?
"The two enemies stood glaring at one another for a long silent moment. Each had a rifle in his hand, each had hate in his heart and murder uppermost in his mind. The chance had come to give full play to the passions of a lifetime. But a man who has been brought up under the code of a restraining civilication cannot easily nerve himself to shoot down his neighbour in cold blood and without word spoken, except for an offence against his hearth and honour."

Is Pain a abstract noun
Answer:

Not if you suffer from it.
Pain is very real with very real explanations of why it is occurring. It only appears abstract if you have no way of touching pain, but abstract nouns are still nouns.

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.

It was a lazy Sunday afternoon. The sun was blazing over the roof, baking us all like cookies in an oven. I was lying on the sofa reading an old book. I was home alone because my mom had gone to her friend's wedding. She had asked me to come along. But who would want to step out in the scorching heat? The only activity worth doing on a hot afternoon is to read a good book while sipping lemonade. I had just begun to enjoy the book when there was loud knock on the front door.

His son too was buried in the magazine he was reading "what type of figurative expression is this?
Answer:
Metaphor
Explanation:
Metaphor is the figure of language that transports the word (or expression) from its literal meaning to the figurative sense. It is a comparison that is expressed without the terms that characterize a comparison. In metaphor, a word is used with the intention that an implicit meaning stands out in it and leads to the interpretation of what is being said.
In the phrase "His son was too buried in the magazine he was reading" the metaphor was used to compare "being stuck in reading" with "is buried in reading". It means that the boy was very absorbed with what he was reading in the magazine, as if trapped, buried.

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.

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.

Read the excerpt from act 3, scene 2, of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar and the information in the paragraph below it. Excerpt: ANTONY. Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears. 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.
Answer:
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. The lyrics of the chorus thus shows that how evil deeds and the good deeds affects the life of the humans while they live and even after their death.
Answer:
I'm pretty sure the answer is B since they reversed it and said "people’s evil deeds live on" instead of "The evil that men do lives after them"

Explanation:
Answer:
"Jenny told her friends that someone was coming over this afternoon." uses an indefinite pronoun, and, "Marcus told his parents that he would just drive himself to the game" uses a reflexive pronoun.
Explanation:
Indefinite pronouns are the ones that refer to things or people without saying directly who are they referring to, in the first sentence the indefinite pronoun is "someone"
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"
