I muttered, knocking my knuckles through the glass, and stretching
an arm out to seize the importunate branch; instead of which, my
fingers closed on the fingers of a little, ice-cold hand!
Which figurative language is used in the sentence given?
Answer:
Alliteration.
Explanation:
Alliteration is a literary device that refers to the use of the same consonant word in consecutive words in a sentence. In other words, we can say that alliteration is when the same consonant sound in close proximity in a sentence.
In the given sentence from "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte, the author/ speaker uses the figurative language of alliteration. Alliteration is seen/used in the words "knocking my knuckles" and "fingers closed on the fingers . . ."
Thus, the correct answer is alliteration.
Read the sentence. Determine if the appositive is restrictive or nonrestrictive based on punctuation. My dog Zeus won at the county dog show. What can be concluded about Zeus? Zeus is the speaker's only dog, because Zeus is a restrictive appositive. The speaker owns more than one dog, because Zeus is a restrictive appositive. Zeus is the speaker's only dog, because Zeus is a nonrestrictive appositive. The speaker owns more than one dog, because Zeus is a nonrestrictive appositive.
Answer: The speaker owns more than one dog, because Zeus is a restrictive appositive.
Explanation:
An appositive noun or phrase is said to be restrictive when the word that it modifies is being narrowed down. It simply tells the noun that one is writing about. A restrictive appositive is not separated from rest of the sentence by commas.
Since the sentence "My dog Zeus won at the county dog show" isn't separated by comma and tell us that the speaker owns more than one dog.
Answer: B The speaker owns more than one dog, because Zeus is a restrictive appositive

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.
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: B
Explanation: Both versions impart setting details through colorful description.
Which three important events in the story should be included in its summary?
adapted from The Glass Axe
by Andrew Lang
There was once upon a time a King and Queen who had everything they could possibly wish for in this world except a child.At last, after twelve years, the Queen gave birth to a son; but she did not live long to enjoy her happiness, for on the following day she died. But before her death she called her husband to her and said, "Never let the child put his feet on the ground, for as soon as he does so he will fall into the power of a wicked Fairy, who will do him much harm." And these were the last words the poor Queen spoke.
The boy throve and grew big, and when he was too heavy for his nurse to carry, a chair was made for him on little wheels, in which he could wander through the palace gardens without help; at other times he was carried about on a litter, and he was always carefully watched and guarded for fear he should at any time put his feet to the ground.
But as this sort of life was bad for his health, the doctors ordered him horse exercise, and he soon became a first-rate rider, and used to go out for long excursions on horseback, accompanied always by his father's stud-groom and a numerous retinue.
Every day he rode through the neighboring fields and woods, and always returned home in the evening safe and well. In this way many years passed, and the Prince grew to manhood, and hardly anyone remembered the Queen's warning, though precautions were still taken, more from use and wont than for any other reason. One day the Prince and his suite went out for a ride in a wood where his father sometimes held a hunt. Their way led through a stream whose banks were overgrown with thick brushwood.Just as the horsemen were about to ford the river, a hare, startled by the sound of the horses' hoofs, started up from the grass and ran towards the thicket.The young Prince pursued the little creature, and had almost overtaken it, when the girth of his saddle suddenly broke in two and he fell heavily to the ground.No sooner had his foot touched the earth than he disappeared before the eyes of the horrified courtiers.They sought for him far and near, but all in vain, and they were forced to recognize the power of the evil Fairy. . . .
Hardly had the Prince touched the ground than he felt himself violently seized by an unseen power, and hurried away he knew not whither. A whole new world stretched out before him, quite unlike the one he had left. A splendid castle surrounded by a huge lake was the abode of the Fairy, and the only approach to it was over a bridge of clouds.On the other side of the lake high mountains rose up, and dark woods stretched along the banks; over all hung a thick mist, and deep silence reigned everywhere.No sooner had the Fairy reached her own domain than she made herself visible, and turning to the Prince she told him that unless he obeyed all her commands down to the minutest detail he would be severely punished.Then she gave him an axe made of glass, and bade him cross the bridge of clouds and go into the wood beyond and cut down all the trees there before sunset.At the same time she cautioned him with many angry words against speaking to a girl he would most likely meet in the wood. The Prince listened to her words meekly, and when she had finished took up the glass axe and set out for the forest. At every step he seemed to sink into the clouds, but fear gave wings to his feet, and he crossed the lake in safety and set to work at once.
Answer:
A. There was once upon a time a King and Queen who had everything they could possibly wish for in this world except a child.
B. "Never let the child put his feet on the ground, for as soon as he does so he will fall into the power of a wicked Fairy, who will do him much harm."
D. No sooner had his foot touched the earth than he disappeared before the eyes of the horrified courtiers.
Explanation:

2. The instruction given by the Queen is also important as failure to keep to it will have dire consequences.
3. The point where the Princes' foot touched the ground is another high point in the story. The readers will now be interested in knowing what happened eventually.

As future teacher how are you going to use the concept of peace education as transformative education among your students. Give example.
Answer and Explanation:
A teacher can show how education is the main basis for people to fight violence peacefully and beneficially, preventing further violence from occurring and thus encouraging peace among people. This is a duty that teachers must take to all students, showing how education allows the evolution of the individual who can resolve conflicts, injustices and even wars.

I want you to think about both of these songs: This is America by Childish Gambino
Im Not Racist by Joyner Lucas
Explanation:
These songs both had political backgrounds and influences. ((I advise you to do some googling on their meanings, I am going off somewhat on my own))
This is America was based off America's stereotypes and had metaphors about race and gun violence. He used his music platform to inform the world about the violence around them and his about his violent contradictions about being black in America.
Here is a link for a break down of the music video : https://time.com/5267890/childish-gambino-this-is-america-meaning/ (I don't know if it is an reliable source b/c media outlets are biased sometimes)
I'm not Racist is a song that was written about the state of race relations in America and how far apart blacks and whites are in how they see things in America. He used his platform to show the world the mindsets of specifics races (whites and blacks) to one another in their own county. "First, the white man unloads his frustrations and his views on Black Lives Matter, the NFL anthem protests. There are even potshots taken against 2Pac and Eminem.
Then the black man reacts. He takes on white privilege, cultural appropriation, and attacks against former President Barack Obama." - CNN news paper. And thrroughout the song both of the men insist "I'm not Racist".
Here is a link for the break down of the music video: https://www.cnn.com/2017/11/29/entertainment/joyner-lucas-not-racist-video-trnd/index.html (Please note that media outlets like these can be biased and CNN has been known to be biased so use caution and double check your info.)
Both of these men used the music platform to spread awareness of the political matters of the people in the United States.

Topic: Helping families during the pandemic.
Explanation:
Dear Mr/Mrs (your US representative)
As you know we are entering a pandemic, and the economy will become bad. Many business owners are going to fire their employees or putting them on a break without pay. The employees that make up these businesses are mainly a part of the lower and lower-middle class. Now the question is: When these families don't have a monthly income, how are they going to survive this pandemic?
Of course the higher and higher middle class will have no problem staying home and can afford all of their necessities. But the government will have to help our community. I propose that there should be at least 3 days out of the week where the city counsel can give out groceries to the families in need. These groceries can have the basic needs such as bread, eggs, milk, juice, rice etc. When the counsel gives out the groceries, they could be stationed somewhere where everyone knows how to get there.
I'm sure the counsel has some money to be able to do this for the community. This could help the families in these difficult times. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Your name

in what way do you think overseas commitment " influence the rise and fall of nations in Europe
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options attached we can say the following.
The way I think overseas commitment influenced the rise and fall of nations in Europe is the following.
Powerful European nations started to navigate the oceans since the so-called Age of Exploration. Prince Henry of Portugal was one of the first to build a powerful navy to explore and conquer in the name of his nation. Other European monarchies followed through, as was the case of Spain, France, and Great Britain.
They got inspiration from the "Three Gs" that are often used to summarize the motivation for European exploration are Gold, God, and Glory.
The age of exploration had European nations more power due to the discovery of new territories and the colonization of those territories. They discovered new lands where raw materials and natural resources abounded. So the three "G's" that motivated that explorations were Gold, the monarchy knew that many territories had plenty of gold and the crowns wanted that god to increase their wealthiness. God, they tough that they had to evangelize the natives Indians of that far lands to make them Christians. Ang Glory, to get supremacy over other European nations that were also competing for new territories.

Answer:
The sentence in this passage that correctly uses the semicolon is the following one: She had made up her mind; she was going to travel the world one way or another.
Explanation:
A semicolon is used to join in a single sentence two independent clauses that are closely related in thought. When a semicolon is used to join two ideas, these ideas are given equal position. In the sentence above, the second clause specifies the first one. The first one states that she had made up her mind and the second one specifies what this means: she made up her mind, she had decided to travel the world.
