Consider these versions of The War of the Worlds.

Excerpt 1, from H. G. Wells's novel The War of the Worlds:

The common round the sand pits was dotted with people, standing like myself in a half-fascinated terror, staring at these creatures, or rather at the heaped gravel at the edge of the pit in which they lay. And then, with a renewed horror, I saw a round, black object bobbing up and down on the edge of the pit. It was the head of the shopman who had fallen in, but showing as a little black object against the hot western sun. Now he got his shoulder and knee up, and again he seemed to slip back until only his head was visible. Suddenly he vanished, and I could have fancied a faint shriek had reached me.

Excerpt 2, from Howard E. Koch's script for Orson Welles's radio adaptation:

PHILLIPS: Ladies and gentlemen, you've just heard Mr. Wilmuth, owner of the farm where this thing has fallen. I wish I could convey the atmosphere . . . the background of this . . . fantastic scene. Hundreds of cars are parked in a field in back of us. Police are trying to rope off the roadway leading to the farm. But it's no use. They're breaking right through. Cars' headlights throw an enormous spot on the pit where the object's half buried. Some of the more daring souls are now venturing near the edge. Their silhouettes stand out against the metal sheen.

Which statement best describes the similarity between these versions?

Both versions impart an urgent tone through a resident’s words.
Both versions impart setting details through colorful description.
Both versions explain the background of a scientific phenomenon.
Both versions use characterization to show the locals' intelligence.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The statement which best describes the similarity between these versions is:

B. Both versions impart setting details through colorful description.

Explanation:

H. G. Wells was an English author (1866-1946) who wrote the famous novel "War of the Worlds," in which martians invade the Earth. As we know, the novel was adapted and broadcast via radio in 1938 to sound as if it were news bulletins. Allegedly, some people panicked while listening to the radio, truly believing the planet was under attack. However, we now know it was not a generalized panic.

Both excerpts give a colorful, vivid description of the scene before the narrator's eyes. Word choice makes it possible for readers, in the first case, and listeners, in the second, to really see, hear, or even feel the same things as the narrator. With the first excerpt, we can see the person who fell into the pit trying to leave it, only to slip back and then be dragged by some mysterious creature. With the second passage, we can see the cars, the police, the headlights, and finally the shadows of the people who have approached the object that fell from the sky.

Answer 2

Answer: B

Explanation: Both versions impart setting details through colorful description.

how can the author's use of similes help to communicate a message to the reader? (Four sentences)

Answers

Answer:

Simile - a kind of description. A simile compares two things so that the thing described is understood more vividly, eg 'The water was as smooth as glass. A simile can create a vivid image in the reader's mind, helping to engage and absorb them.Generally, a writer uses similes to enable the reader to imagine in his mind what the writer is saying. This is why a writer compares one thing to another with which the reader is familiar. The speaker compares his love to a red rose that has just bloomed.Writers often use similes to introduce concrete images (like boxes of chocolates) into writing about abstract concepts (like life). Readers are more explicitly aware of the direct comparison that's being made with a simile compared to a metaphor, which is often more poetic and subtle.

Not sure how to verbally explain, but basically on the y-axis of the graph, 4,000 would refer to 4 million farms; 3,000 would refer to 3 million, 2,000 would refer to 2 million and so on. This would mean that in 1995, there are exactly 2 million farms.

three problems to develop the school​

Answers

Explanation:

Classroom Size

Many areas of the country are facing classrooms that are literally busting out at the seams. A report at NEA Today two years ago discussed how schools in Georgia, in the midst of major funding cuts for schools, had no choice but to lift all class size limits to accommodate students with the faculty the school system could still afford to keep. More recently, Fairfax County in Virginia has been looking into a proposal to increase classroom sizes in the face of significant budget cuts. The Board of Education in South Carolina is also weighing their options in this area.

Poverty

Technorati reported last fall that 22 percent of the children in the U.S. live at or below poverty level. American Graduate defines poverty as a family of four with an annual income level of $23,050 or lower. American Graduate also cites a report from the Southern Education Foundation, which shows in 17 states across the U.S., low-income students now comprise the majority of public school students in those states. Some estimates put poverty levels for public school students at 25% in the not-so-distant future.

Family Factors

Family factors also play a role in a teacher’s ability to teach students. Principals and teachers agree that what is going on at home will impact a student’s propensity to learn. Divorce, single parents, poverty, violence and many other issues are all challenges a student brings to school every day. While some teachers and administrators try to work with children in less than ideal family environments, they can only do so much – especially when parents are often not willing to partner with the schools to provide for the children.

Are the phrases “very interesting”and”consuming” synonomous

Answers

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Very interesting and consuming are both ways to refer to a story. and therefore both have synonym qualities.

Answer:

No, “very interesting”and "consuming” are not synonomous.

Explanation:

I found this to be tru by entering the word "consuming” into a thesaurus and finding synonyms that did not include "very interesting." The synonyms I found are the following: absorbing, compelling, compulsive, obsessive, overwhelming; intense, ardent, strong, powerful, burning, raging, fervid, profound, deep-seated. When looking up "consuming" in a dictionary, the definition is "completely filling one's mind and attention; absorbing," and I personally see no way that “very interesting” and "consuming” are synonomous.

The author of passage 1 would probably respond to the reference in passage 2 to the “social isolation inherent in living alone”by

Answers

Answer:

The author of passage 1 would probably respond to the reference in passage 2 to the “social isolation inherent in living alone” by referring to the results of the study mentioned in passage 1.

Explanation:

In the given two passages, the authors talk about the pros and cons of living alone. While passage 1 directs the arguments to the advantages and positive nature of why people live alone, passage 2 contradicts that argument.

Passage 2's argument that "social isolation [is] inherent in living alone" can be best responded to by the author of passage 1 by referring to the study results in passage 1. This is because passage 2 states that living alone makes a person more isolated which is contrasting to the claim made in passage 1. The author of passage 1 instead states that living alone "is the best of both worlds: community when you want it but guaranteed peace and quiet whenever you need."

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.

(3) A landowner owned a large piece of property containing an inn and a bakery. She entered into a contract to sell the property to a purchaser for $1 million. The contract was recorded. The purchaser gave the landowner $200,000 as earnest money. The closing date was set for September 10, two months after the signing of the contract. On August 10, an arsonist set fire to the inn, which burned to the ground. On September 10, the landowner appeared at the closing and tendered the deed to the property. The buyer refused to tender the remaining $800,000 of the purchase price and demanded the return of his earnest money. The landowner sued the buyer for specific performance of the contract. The buyer countersued for the return of his earnest money.
