Read the following letter carefully before you choose your answer. The following is a letter written by an already established Voltaire to a young and newly published author, M. Helvetius, in 1739. (1) My dear friend—the friend of Truth and the Muses—your Epistle is full of bold reasoning in advance of your age, and still more in advance of those craven writers who rhyme for the book-sellers and restrict themselves within the compass of a royal censor, who is either jealous of them, or more cowardly than they are themselves. (2) What are they but miserable birds, with their wings close clipped, who, longing to soar, are for ever falling back to earth, breaking their legs! You have a fearless genius, and your work sparkles with imagination. I much prefer your generous faults to the mediocre prettinesses with which we are cloyed. If you will allow me to tell you where I think you can improve yourself in your art, I should say: Beware, lest in attempting the grand, you overshoot the mark and fall into the grandiose: only employ true similes: and be sure always to use exactly the right word. (3) Shall I give you an infallible little rule for verse? Here it is. When a thought is just and noble, something still remains to be done with it: see if the way you have expressed it in verse would be effective in prose: and if your verse, without the swing of the rhyme, seems to you to have a word too many—if there is the least defect in the construction—if a conjunction is forgotten—if, in brief, the right word is not used, or not used in the right place, you must then conclude that the jewel of your thought is not well set. Be quite sure that lines which have any one of these faults will never be learnt by heart, and never re-read: and the only good verses are those which one re—reads and remembers, in spite of oneself. There are many of this kind in your "Epistle"—lines which no one else in this generation can write at your age such as were written fifty years ago. (4) Do not be afraid, then, to bring your talents to a Parnassus1; they will undoubtedly redound to your credit because you never neglect your duties; for them: they are themselves very pleasant duties. Surely, those your position demand of you must be very uncongenial to such a nature as yours. They are as much routine as looking after a house, or the housebook of one's steward. Why should you be deprived of liberty of thought because you happen to be a farmer-general2? Atticus was a farmer-general, the old Romans were farmers-general, and they thought—as Romans. Go ahead, Atticus. 1A sacred mountain in Greece, known as the home of the Muses of Greek poetry 2A privileged member of French society who collected taxes on behalf of the king Paragraph 2 could be used to support which of the following claims about the writer's tone? His tone when discussing Helvetius's work is obsequious and flattering. His tone when discussing Helvetius's work is patronizing and demeaning. His tone when discussing the works of others is critical and analytical. His tone when discussing the works of others is deferential and complimentary.
Answer: A) His tone when discussing Helvetius's work is obsequious and flattering.
Explanation: The writer uses a very distinctive tone to convey the message. He is quite critical about other's work, but focuses more on over-praising Helvetius's art, emphasizing that his rank did not matter and that his way of portraying feelings is naturally genius. He is using an obsequious and flattering tone, demonstrating his admiration and subtle constructive criticism for a newly published author.

The writer wants to introduce the topic of electronegativity with a concrete, casually observable example from the natural world. Which choice best accomplishes this goal
Answer:
B. How do water striders skim across the surfaces of ponds and lakes? Their hydrophobic legs are uniquely suited to this process, but the insects
Explanation:
Below are the options given:
A. NO CHANGE
B. How do water striders skim across the surfaces of ponds and lakes? Their hydrophobic legs are uniquely suited to this process, but the insects
C. How do our bodies break down the food we consume every day? While digestion would be impossible without enzymes and other proteins, these molecules
D. How does our DNA maintain a double helical structure? While the shape of this nucleic acid is the result of many complex properties, its structures
Option B is correct because it gives a concrete, casually observable example from the natural world and thereby accomplishes the goal. It explains the connection between surface tension and electronegativity.
Option B gives an example from the natural world - the water strider.
The water striders are a good example of insects that use the high surface tension of water and long, hydrophobic legs. This enables them to walk on water. Their legs are coated with a hydrophobic substance. The hydrophobic substance makes the legs to repel water molecules i.e it makes water unable to stick to their legs. This makes them to easily skim on water surfaces.
Answer:
Electronegativity is a measure of the affinity between electrons and atoms.
When an atom exhibits greater attraction for electrons, it is said to have very high electronegativity.
Electronegativity is an inherent quality that remains constant in all the atoms of an element. Fluorine is the chemical element with the highest electronegativity.
In nature, the most important element which whose electronegative qualities (or whose ability to bind with other atoms) make it crucial for life is Oxygen.
When we inhale air, the Oxygen is used by our bodies to convert glucose to energy and Carbon Di-Oxide is released.

SOME PLZZZ HELP URGENT :( What is the best way to edit this sentence? In the early part of the month of April, we traveled in our own car to the city of New Orleans in the state of Louisiana. A. We drove to New Orleans in early April. B. In the early part of April, we drove to New Orleans in Louisiana. C. In the early part of April, we traveled by car to the city of New Orleans. D. We traveled in our own car to the city of New Orleans, Louisiana, in early April.
Answer:
A. We drove to New Orleans in early April.
Explanation:
The context of "in our own car" and "in the state of Louisiana" isn't necessary for the readers. It just becomes excessive words that hinder the reader from a smooth read.
Answer:
A. We drove to New Orleans in early April.
Explanation:
Because New Orleans is such a big city, it isn't necessary to say it is in Louisiana since that will make the sentence more complicated/long.
It is also better to say "early April" rather than longer and more repetitive phrases like "the early part of April."
Lastly, it is best to say "we drove" instead of saying "we traveled in our own car" because they mean the same thing, but "we drove" flows better and is shorter.
So, A is correct because it has the best flow with the most simple phrases.

Question 9
Read the sentence from the passage.
Yes, there was the sea with the dawning sun making a golden dazzle over it, and toward th
glorious east flew two hawks with slow-moving pinions.
What is the meaning of the word pinions?
А
flowers
B
feathers
C
moths
D
tracks
Answer:
B. Feathers
Explanation:
The word pinion is most commonly used as a part of a bird's wing that includes the feathers.
In this sentence, the meaning of the word pinions is feathers, as it is describing the motion of the hawk's wings.
The other answer choices would not make sense because they don't relate to the wings of the hawks at all.

Explanation:
young apple-tree, which, planted by birds or cows, had shot up amid the rocks and open woods there, and had now much fruit on it, uninjured by the frosts, when all cultivated apples were gathered. It was a rank wild growth, with many green leaves on it still, and made an impression of thorniness. The fruit was hard and green, but looked as if it would be palatable in the winter. Some was dangling on the twigs, but more half-buried in the wet leaves under the tree, or rolled far down the hill amid the rocks. The owner knows nothing of it. The day was not observed when it first blossomed, nor when it first bore fruit, unless by the chickadee. There was no dancing on the green beneath it in its honor, and now there is no hand to pluck its fruit,—which is only gnawed by squirrels, as I perceive. It has done double duty,—not only borne this crop, but each twig has grown a foot into the air. And this is such fruit! Bigger than many berries, we must admit, and carried home will be sound and palatable next spring. What care I for other apples so long as I can get these? 2 When I go by this shrub thus late and hardy, and see its dangling fruit, I respect the tree, and I am grateful for Nature’s bounty, even though I cannot eat it. Here on this rugged and woody hillside has grown an apple-tree, not planted by man, no relic of a former orchard, but a natural growth, like the pines and oaks. Most fruits which we prize and use depend entirely on our care. Corn and grain, potatoes, peaches, melons, etc., depend altogether on our planting; but the apple emulates man’s independence and enterprise. It is not simply carried, as I have said, but, like him, to some extent, it has migrated to this New World, and is even, here and there, making its way amid the aboriginal trees; just as the ox and dog and horse sometimes run wild and maintain themselves. 3 Even the sourest and crabbedest apple, growing in the most unfavorable position, suggests such thoughts as these, it is so noble a fruit. Excerpt from "Wild Apples" by Henry David Thoreau. In the public domain. I Hear America Singing by Walt Whitman I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear, Those of mechanics, each one singing his as it should be blithe and strong, The carpenter singing his as he measures his plank or beam, The mason singing his as he makes ready for work, or leaves off work, 5The boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat, the deckhand singing on the steamboat deck, The shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench, the hatter singing as he stands, The wood-cutter’s song, the ploughboy’s on his way in the morning, or at noon intermission or at sundown, The delicious singing of the mother, or of the young wife at work, or of the girl sewing or washing, Each singing what belongs to him or her and to none else, 10The day what belongs to the day—at night the party of young fellows, robust, friendly, Singing with open mouths their strong melodious songs. "I Hear America Singing" by Walt Whitman, from Leaves of Grass. In the public domain. Question 1 Which sentence BEST states the author’s point of view regarding people who are ambitious? A It was a rank wild growth, with many green leaves on it still, and made an impression of thorniness. B Some was dangling on the twigs, but more half-buried in the wet leaves under the tree, or rolled far down the hill amid the rocks. C Most fruits which we prize and use depend entirely on our care.

Read the paragraph from Nick’s personal narrative.
Standing alone in my family’s barn, I thought about how much hard work and time my parents had invested—how much hard work and time we had all invested—in maintaining a fully operational farm. I did not remember a time when my clothes had not reeked of manure or my hair had not held fast to brittle pieces of straw. What would happen if my parents had to sell the farm so we could move closer to my grandparents? Just as I was attempting to imagine a life in the city, a sudden commotion erupted and interrupted my thoughts. With animals squawking and dust flying, I scrambled to pinpoint the source of this unexpected intrusion. In seconds that felt more like minutes, I was successful . . . and I could scarcely believe what my eyes were seeing.

'The white padded cell was meant to hold the insane, but to be honest it could drive someone insane. The white walls reflected the light, so it never seemed to get dark enough for sleep. The fan in the cell makes a horrible noise and if that does not get you, the constant dripping water will. It is truly a horrible place.' has a well described setting that creates an atmosphere. The correct option is d.
The setting of Option D is well described and successfully evokes a sense of dread and discomfort. The white, padded cell's reflective walls and description of it immediately arouse feelings of confinement and unease. The mention of the fan's constant noise and the water's drip adds to the claustrophobic and isolated feeling.
The atmosphere is made more intense by the author's use of sensory details such as the visual imagery of the white walls and the auditory imagery of the fan and dripping water. The reader is drawn into the scene and made to feel the tension and fear that the character in the cell is going through thanks to the vivid setting description.
