José bought us two cardboard suitcases and one for himself, and an alarm clock like the one we used to try to win in the lottery tent in Mazatlan. Which word has a connotative meaning in the sentence?
This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
Read the sentence from Barrio Boy by Ernesto Galarza.
José bought us two cardboard suitcases and one for himself, and an alarm clock like the one we used to try to win in the lottery tent in Mazatlan.
Which word has a connotative meaning in the sentence?
cardboard
suitcases
alarm
tent
Answer:
The word that has a connotative meaning in the sentence is: cardboard.
Explanation:
Connotative meaning refers to a meaning other than the literal one. This connotative meaning can have its origin in social or cultural associations. In this particular case, if we were to take "cardboard" literally, we would imagine suitcases actually made from cardboard boxes. But, even though they have such a name, they aren't really made from cardboard. We can, thus, say that "cardboard" has a connotative meaning in this passage.

Read the excerpt from The Canterbury Tales.I can sting with my tongue; and when I preachI sting so hard, the fellow can’t escapeSlander and defamation, if so beHe’s wronged my fellow-pardoners, or me,Even if I don’t give his actual name,Yet everybody knows that he’s the oneFrom hints, and other circumstantialities—That’s how I deal with people who annoy us;That’s how I spit out venom, under guiseOf piety, and seem sincerely pious.How does the excerpt satirize the clergy?
Answer:
C. By revealing the clergy's vindictive abuse of power.
Explanation:
Satirizing is a literary technique that writers use to express opinions or let their characters speak in such a way that ridicules others. This allows the criticizing or at times humorously critiquing any moral value, or vices.
The given excerpt is from 'The Pardoner's Prologue' of Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales". These lines from the prologue present the vindictive language the clergy used in his teaching at the pulpit. He admits "I can sting with my tongue; and when I preach I sting so hard", using language that is "slander and defamation". He continues "I spit out venom, under guise Of piety, and seem sincerely pious". All these languages show the clergy's vindictive abuse of power which he thinks is ordained to him as a preacher or leader of the church.
Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
Answer:
The answer is C- By revealing the clergy's vindictive abuse of power

8. At the end of chapter 14, Linda’s little girl receives a necklace as a gift. What does Linda seem to think that the necklace symbolizes?
Answer:
Slavery
Explanation:
According to a different source, this question refers to the text Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl by Harriet Jacobs.
In this book, the protagonist is Linda, and by chapter 14, she has had another baby. This new baby is a girl, which greatly saddens Linda. Nevertheless, she resolves to baptize the baby behind her masters' backs.
During the ceremony, Linda’s father’s old mistress shows up and offers to name the baby. She also provides a gold necklace. For Linda, this gold chain from a white woman is a small symbol of slavery. She believes this to be the first sign of the many terrible things that await her daughter as she grows older.
What does this quote mean?
“A sharp tongue is the only edged tool that grows keener with constant use”
Answer:
Tools that are sharp (eg knives) get dull as you use them, but when you speak sharply (in a bitter or critical way) often, you overall tend to speak that way more. So, instead of getting less sharp, your tongue is getting sharper.

What is a sentence?A sentence is a linguistic expression. In traditional grammar, it is typically defined as a string of words that expresses a complete thought, or as a unit consisting of a subject and predicate. In non-functional linguistics, it is typically defined as a maximal unit of syntactic structure such as a constituent.
In functional linguistics, it is defined as a unit of written texts delimited by graphological features such as upper-case letters and markers such as periods, question marks, and exclamation marks. This notion contrasts with a curve, which is delimited by phonological features such as pitch and loudness and markers such as pauses; and with a clause, which is a sequence of words that represents some process going on throughout time.
A sentence can include words grouped meaningfully to express a statement, question, exclamation, request, command, or suggestion.

Later, his clever comments were plagiarized for many years before he published them in The Cynic's Word Book in 1906 and later in The Devil's Dictionary in 1911.
Which of the following inferences is best supported by the passage below (paragraph 5)?
I didn't really have any friends yet, so I was on my own for tryouts. The routine was easy to learn-a jazzy numbers performed to a big band
version of "Swanee" (you know, the "how I love ya, how I love ya" one). There was a lot of sliding with jazz hands and an entire section of high
kicks. I could kick higher than all of the girls except one dancer named LeeAnne. I practiced so much that I could do that routine in my sleep. I still
remember parts of it today.
O A The author was confident in her preparation for the tryout.
B. The author was very jealous of LeeAnne.
C. The author was bad at the routine.
D. The author thought the routine was so easy that she didn't need to practice it
The correct answer is A. The author was confident in her preparation for the tryout.
Explanation:
In the paragraph, the narrator describes her perspective about the tryout, about this she specifies the routine was simple "The routine was easy to learn" and she had completely mastered the routine as the author explains " I practiced so much that I could do that routine in my sleep." In this context, it can be inferred or concluded she "was confident in her preparation for the tryout" because, in the text, most details focus on how easy the routine was and the abilities of the author to perform it.

21. Antithesis means to put two ideas together in order to contrast them, pointing out their differences. In sentence 20, what
does Henry contrast with "love and reconciliation"? What is the effect?
Answer:
He contrasts them with "Fleets and Armies." This helps Henry emphasize that 'Great Britain has previously taken the matter from 'the diplomatic phase to the military phase.'
Explanation:
Antithesis is described as the literary device in which two contrasting ideas are juxtaposed in parallel form. It helps the author to create a balanced effect and provide a better understanding to readers.
In sentence 20, the 'love and reconciliation' are contrasted with 'Fleets and Armies' to signify that Great Britain does not consider the former('love and reconciliation') to be a viable strategy. It helps Henry to highlight that Britain has already taken the matter to the military phase and there is no scope to 'diplomatic options to resolve the issue.'
Read the passage from "Two Kinds." And I started to play. It was so beautiful. I was so caught up in how lovely I looked that at first I didn’t worry how I would sound. So it was a surprise to me when I hit the first wrong note and I realized something didn’t sound quite right. And then I hit another and another followed that. A chill started at the top of my head and began to trickle down. Yet I couldn’t stop playing, as though my hands were bewitched. I kept thinking my fingers would adjust themselves back, like a train switching to the right track. I played this strange jumble through two repeats, the sour notes staying with me all the way to the end. How is this passage an example of an internal conflict?
This question is missing the options. I've found them online. They are the following:
How is this passage an example of an internal conflict?
a. It describes the narrator's inability to stop playing when she wants to do so.
b. It describes the narrator's unexpected enjoyment of performing in front of an audience.
c. It describes the narrator's thoughts and feelings as she struggles through a poor performance.
d. It describes the results of the narrator's refusal to practice diligently and learn to play the piano correctly.
Answer:
The passage is an example of an internal conflict because:
c. It describes the narrator's thoughts and feelings as she struggles through a poor performance.
Explanation:
"Two Kinds" is a short story by Amy Tan. The main character is June, Suyuan's daughter. June is expected to become a child prodigy by her mother. However, she is determined to not work hard, to not apply herself. The conflicts with her mother lead June to decide that she will remain mediocre for the rest of her life.
Even though she had been taking piano lessons, June was not really taking them seriously. When the time for her first presentation comes, her performance is a fiasco. We get to experience all of her internal conflict as she describes her feelings when she is struggling. June is excited at first. She does enjoy receiving attention. However, that feeling does not last long. Her lack of discipline takes its toll, and June makes several mistakes throughout the performance. She is now frightened and embarrassed, but unable to stop playing. She knows the outcome that awaits her is filled with shame and judgment from the audience and, especially, from her own mother.
