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.

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME I REALLY NEED THIS!!!Read this excerpt from a passage.
As the World Wildlife Foundation reports on its website, "Pirate fishing accounts for an estimated 20%
of the world's catch and as much as 50% in some fisheries. The costs of illegal fishing are significant,
with the value of pirate fish products estimated at between $10-$23.5 billion annually."
How do you know this excerpt contains objective language?
It stresses the author's point of view.
O The information is from a website.
O It provides factual information that can be verified.
O The author's opinion is convincing.
The correct answer is C. It provides factual information that can be verified.
Explanation:
Objective information focuses on facts and reality, rather than on personal views. Due to this, all objective information can be verified as this information derives from phenomena that can be observed, studied, and measured. Moreover, objective language avoids including the author's point of view or opinion and focuses on providing neutral information.
This occurs in the excerpt presented because all information regarding pirate fishing such as "Pirate fishing accounts for an estimated 20%" or "the value of pirate fish products estimated at between $10-$23.5 billion annually" is neutral and can be proven. Indeed, it is possible to read other sources to know if the statistics given are true or to study the phenomenon as the rate of pirate fishing and the cost of its products does not depend on personal perspectives but it is a reality.

What evidence from "To Build a Fire" might lead you to this inference?
The man is arrogant and overconfident.
This question is incomplete. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
What evidence from "To Build a Fire" might lead you to inference?
The man is arrogant and overconfident.
A)Working carefully from a small beginning, he soon had a roaring fire, over which he thawed the ice from his face and in the protection of which he ate his biscuits. For the moment the cold of space was outwitted.
B)He had felt the give under his feet and heard the crackle of a snow-hidden ice-skin. And to get his feet wet in such a temperature meant trouble and danger. At the very least it meant delay, for he would be forced to stop and build a fire, and under its protection to bare his feet while he dried his socks and moccasins.
C)Those old-timers were rather womanish, some of them, he thought. All a man had to do was to keep his head, and he was all right. Any man who was a man could travel alone.
D)He looked at his watch. It was ten o'clock. He was making four miles an hour, and he calculated that he would arrive at the forks at half-past twelve. He decided to celebrate that event by eating his lunch there.
Answer:
The evidence that leads to the inference that the man is arrogant and overconfident is:
C)Those old-timers were rather womanish, some of them, he thought. All a man had to do was to keep his head, and he was all right. Any man who was a man could travel alone.
Explanation:
"To Build a Fire" is a short story by author Jack London. The main character is a man traveling alone but for the company of a dog in the harsh cold of the Yukon region. This man has been warned by an older man about the perils of traveling alone. As a matter of fact, he was clearly told not to do so. However, he is quite arrogant and overconfident when it comes to his abilities. He not only underestimates nature, but also judges the old person who has tried to advise him. That is precisely what the excerpt in letter C shows:
C)Those old-timers were rather womanish, some of them, he thought. All a man had to do was to keep his head, and he was all right. Any man who was a man could travel alone.
Unfortunately, he ends up dying for not being able to build a fire when he should. Nature easily overcomes him and his arrogance.
Answer:
B)Those old-timers were rather womanish, some of them, he thought. All a man had to do was to keep his head, and he was all right. Any man who was a man could travel alone.

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.

Nick uses chronological order to relate his narrative. What effect does this have on his arrangement of the plot? It allows Nick to include extra details as he develops the events that lead to the most exciting parts of his story. It allows Nick to surprise the reader by disrupting the calm setting with unexpected excitement. It allows Nick to omit the conclusion because he states his feelings at the beginning of the narrative. It allows Nick to choose which events he will include and which events he would like to eliminate.
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.

O Because it has no natural predators, it has adapted quickly to its new home
The lionfish now threatens to destroy native fish populations in the Atlantic, Caribbean, and Gulf of Mexico.
Hey There!!
The answer to this is: When reading this, we saw how this lion fish was put into the Atlantic, and therefore, there's actually one thing that is actually something that we would want to consider, and that would actually indicate that it would be our answer.

The lionfish was accidentally introduced into the Atlantic Ocean in the 1990s.
This would be your answer, and this would be why it would be that they have adapted very quickly to their homes and all the they have now have.
Your answer: The lionfish was accidentally introduced into the Atlantic Ocean in the 1990s.
