Reread paragraphs 8–10. What are the author’s tone and point of view as he describes the start of the fire and the first attempts to extinguish it? How can you tell?

Paragraphs 8-10

The fire had started at about 4:40 that afternoon, when somebody on the eighth floor threw a cigarette or a match into one of the great scrapheaps of cotton left over from the tailoring process. The pile quickly burst into flames.

Somebody alerted the factory manager, Samuel Bernstein, who grabbed some nearby buckets of water and dumped them on the fire. They did little good. The cotton scraps were explosively flammable, more so than paper, and there was roughly a ton of the stuff piled on the eighth floor alone.

Bernstein dumped more buckets of water on the growing fire, but by this point they had no effect whatsoever, and the flames were spreading to the tissue paper patterns hanging above the wooden work desks. He ordered workers to drag a fire hose from a nearby stairwell. They opened the valve, but there was no pressure. As a historian of the fire, David Von Drehle, has argued, Bernstein made a fatalLinks to an external site. decision in those first three minutes. He could have spent the time fighting the fire or evacuating the nearly five hundred workers. Instead, he battled the exploding fire, to no effect. If he had spent the time evacuating, it is possible that nobody would have died that day.

Answer 1

Answer:

the authors tone sounds a bit condescending. the way he lays out the facts makes it seem that it was bernstein's fault that people neded up dying. in the very last paragraph he even states " if he had spent more time evaluating...  om not writing the rest lol"

but this shows that the author has a biased and opinionated tone.

4. How does the speaker describe the sea as a final resting place? How does this develop the meaning of the poem? Cite evidence from the text in your answer.


The Ocean

By: Nathaniel Hawthorne
https://www.commonlit.org/texts/the-ocean

Thanks in advance

Answers

This is the poem down here:

The Ocean has its

silent cave,

Deep, quiet, and

alone;

Though there be

fury on the waves,

Beneath them there is none.

The awful spirits of the deep

hold their communion there;

And there are those for whom we weep,

The young, the bright, the fair.

Calmly the weary seamen rest

Beneath their own blue sea.

The ocean solitude are blest,

For there is purity.

The earth had guilt, the earth has care,

Unquiet are its graves;

But peaceful sleep is ever there,

Beneath the dark blue waves.

Answer:

Check below for the answer and explanations.

Explanation:

The speaker describes the sea as though tempestous and uncalm at the surface, is very calm and silent deep in the bottom. It is so calm that the spirits have their meetings there and even the dead are found there. "The awful spirits of the deep hold their communion there; And there are those for whom we weep, The young, the bright, the fair."

He said there is purity and blest under the sea and it provides a better resting place for the dead than the earth which is uncalm and whose graves lack peace and solitude. He said, "The earth had guilt, the earth has care,

Unquiet are its graves;

But peaceful sleep is ever there,

Beneath the dark blue waves."

The main aim of this poem is to describe the blest, solitude and peace that exist under the ocean, and its suitability for receiving the body of man after death.

Explain the irony of Mr. Shiftlet’s statement that he served in the ""Arm Service

Answers

Answer:

Find explanation below.

Explanation:

In the book, 'The Life You Save May Be Truly Yours', written by Flannery O'Connor, the character Tom Shiftlet is described as a tramp-looking old man who wonders on his journey into the home of Mrs Lucynell Crater. One of his features include not having a full arm. An Irony is a literary device  in which the statement made by a character is the opposite of what is expected in reality. The statement has a humorous or amusing effect.

The Arm Services are a part of the military forces concerned largely with the security and protection of a country and its citizens. In this category, we have the; Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard.  

 When Tom Shiftlet made the statement that he served in the Arm Service, one would ordinarily not expect that as he does not have a full arm. It is also amusing to think of how a half armed man could work in the military.

THE TYGER

by William Blake1794

William Blake (1757-1827) was an English poet during the Romantic era who wrote extensively about God, nature, and the beauty of the human imagination. “The Tyger,” published alongside another poem called “The Lamb” in Blake’s poetry collection Songs of Experience, is one of the most anthologized poems in English. As you read, take notes on how the poem discusses the human condition and the question of existence.

Tyger Tyger, burning bright


In the forests of the night,


What immortal hand or eye


Could frame thy fearful symmetry?


In what distant deeps or skies


Burnt the fire of thine eyes?


On what wings dare he aspire?


What the hand, dare seize the fire?


And what shoulder, & what art


Could twist the sinews of thy heart?


And when thy heart began to beat,


What dread hand? & what dread feet?


What the hammer? what the chain?


In what furnace was thy brain?


What the anvil? what dread grasp


Dare its deadly terrors clasp!


When the stars threw down their spears


And water'd heaven with their tears:


Did he smile his work to see?


Did he who made the Lamb make thee?


Tyger tyger burning bright


In the forests of the night:


What immortal hand or eye,


Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

Answers

Answer:

the repition is to  show the idea that a universal creator is evident in "The Tyger," in which the questions the poet asks have to do with the creation of the fearsome tiger. its is reapeated to bring the poem to a close and connect the main idea

hope this helps, plz vote me the brainliest :)

Explanation:

The two repetitions can provoke questions, however, the first repetition provokes a question that must be answered in the proximal stanzas, while the last repetition, promotes a question that will not be answered, but will remain open for reflection.

We can arrive at this answer because:

William Blake questions why God created such a powerful creature, in this poem.He repeats the first stanza in the last stanza, showing little difference between them, to reinforce these questions.In the first stanza, however, Blake asks God about something that he himself can answer and answered in the other stanzas.In the last stanza, he questions something that only God can answer and that question remains unanswered, but it promotes great reflection.

In this case, we can say that the repetitions are intended to highlight doubts, but the effects of these doubts are different.

Match each subject-verb agreement rule with an example of its use.

sentence beginning with there
singular noun ending in s
collective noun
singular noun with two parts
phrase between subject and verb

Answers

Answer:

i attached a picture that’s the answer

The rules and their corresponding examples are given as below-

sentence beginning with there- There are many hiking trails that cross the entire country.

singular noun ending in s- Mathematics is important for planning how to pitch your tent.

collective noun- The team needs extra time to train for the expedition.

singular noun with two parts- Hiking trousers have several pockets for all your gear.

phrase between subject and verb- A guide with all the hiking maps lives on my street.

When we say "subject-verb" agreement, it means the number of the subject(s) and the verb used must be corresponding to each other. This means that singular subjects will have singular verbs and plural subjects will have plural verbs.

In the given rules and the need to match them with their corresponding sentences, we have to look at the specific rule asked and match it with the sentence that follows that rule. In this regard, the sentence that begins with "there" will be joined with the fifth sentence that starts with "there are..." Here, the subject "there" is plural so the verb "are" is used. Similarly, the singular noun ending in "-s" is found in sentence 4 "Mathematics" used with the singular verb "is". A collective noun is found in sentence3 "team", used with the singular verb "needs". A singular noun with two parts is found in the second sentence "hiking trousers with two parts" using the singular verb "have". Lastly, a phrase between subject and verb is found in sentence 1, the phrase "with all the hiking maps" using the singular verb "lives".

The subject-verb agreement helps safely and correctly use verbs in accordance with the subject(s) in a sentence. Accordingly, the correct pairing for the given rules and their corresponding sentences are paired as given in the beginning.
