adapted from The Underdogs
by Mariano Azuela
Some men on horseback rode up, shouting and sweating; two of them dismounted, while the other hung back to watch the horses.
"We want food! Give us eggs, milk, beans, anything you've got! We're starving!"
The speaker wore chevrons on his arm, his companion red stripes on his shoulders.
"Whose place is this, old woman? Of course it's not empty. How about the light and that child there? Look here, confound it, we want to eat, and quick too. We’re coming in."
"Tell me what they call this ranch, woman?" the sergeant asked.
"Limon," the woman replied curtly, carrying wood to the fire and fanning the coals.
How does the setting influence characterization in the text?
A.
The setting causes the characters to endure cold temperatures.
B.
The setting causes the characters to have difficulty riding the horses.
C.
The setting causes the characters to have difficulty finding food.
D.
The setting causes the characters to use overly polite manners.
Answer: C. The setting causes the characters to have difficulty finding food.
Explanation:
The setting infers that the characters in question are looking for food to eat. First the men who came in on horseback ask for food and say they are starving which means that they have had difficulty finding food.
Then the notice that the ranch may not have food as well when they say that there is no way the place can be empty and lacking of food seeing as there was a child there. This means that the woman herself wants food so the setting is such that the characters seem to all have difficulty in finding food.

Why might the author have decided to explain a scientific concept using a
reference to a historical event?
Hi. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try to help you as best I can.
The author explained a scientific concept because he wanted readers to understand the meaning of that scientific concept, which would allow the reading of the text to be more convenient and efficient for the reader. The decision to explain the scientific concept through a historical event was to show how this concept fits into the real world. The use of the reference, on the other hand, was intended to extend the explanation by showing another application of the scientific concept, making it even more understandable.

Read the excerpt from “The Oval Portrait,” by Edgar Allan Poe.
The rays of the numerous candles (for there were many) now fell within a niche of the room which had hitherto been thrown into deep shade by one of the bed-posts. I thus saw in vivid light a picture all unnoticed before. It was the portrait of a young girl just ripening into womanhood. I glanced at the painting hurriedly, and then closed my eyes. Why I did this was not at first apparent even to my own perception. But while my lids remained thus shut, I ran over in my mind my reason for so shutting them. It was an impulsive movement to gain time for thought?—to make sure that my vision had not deceived me—to calm and subdue my fancy for a more sober and more certain gaze.

make this passive voice pls ...[it help us to make oo7 conversation style.it will definitly bring a great revolution in our life.]
Answer:
The elaboration of the oo7 conversation style was carried out thanks to the help of it, which caused a revolution in our lives.
Explanation:
A sentence that has a passive voice is one where the subject undergoes the action presented by the verb and does not perform the action presented by the verb. As you may already know, the verb is the word that promotes an action or a state, while the subject is the term that allows the action of the verb to happen, promoting it in some way. In this case, in the sentence shown in the question above, we can see that the verb is the word "help" and the subject is the word "it" in the first sentence. "It" is promoting the action represented by the verb "help," which makes this sentence a active voice sentence. To transform it into the passive voice, we must rewrite this sentence, making "it" start to suffer the action of this verb. This can be done as follows:
"The elaboration of the oo7 conversation style was carried out thanks to the help of it, which caused a revolution in our lives."

Consider what you've learned about suspense, foreshadowing, sensationalism, inevitability, coincidence, and sentimentality. Describe each of these considerations and the result of an author's poor handling of each one.
Explanation:
Suspense: This is a literary device used by an author in other to emerge his reader's full interest in the story narrated. Often times this involves creating a strong feeling of anticipation that something strange; unexpected or unknown is about to occur at a point in the story. In a situation when an author does not create suspense, his readers may find the story uninteresting or unappealing.Foreshadowing: this is a literary device used to give a glimpse or hint of a future event in the story. It acts as a hint to avid readers of a particular story so they can thus relate to how events in the story come together.Sensationalism: As the name implies, this involves the addition of details that elicit excitement or a sensational response from readers. An author who overly uses this literary device may deter rather than interest most readers because they disapprove of his methods of expression.inevitability: this refers to events or actions that are portrayed as must occur events or actions. An author who portrays an event that would normally be considered evitable by his readers as inevitable may lose his reader's interest.coincidence: as the name implies, it is a skillful narration of events by an author that happens by chance in a story. Similar care needs to be applied by an author as mentioned above in point 4.sentimentality: this can be viewed as the narration of events or actions in a story based on the author's own emotions and feelings. An author's emotions and feelings can thus affect their reasoning on a particular issue in which readers share an opposite viewpoint.What does the speaker mean by these lines: "And I throbbed with a burning desire/To travel this immensity"?
Examine this research question.
What are solutions to homelessness in modern America
Which of the following is the MOST relevant and credible source.
addressing this research question?
The correct answer is option A. “Setting a Path to End All Homelessness.” United States Interagency Council on Homelessness. 2017. 18 Sep. 2017.
