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.

HOW DOES EPIC HERO BEOWULF CONFRONT AND DEFEAT EVIL?
Answer:
Beowulf confronted three demonic beasts, Grendel, his mother, and the Dragon without sparing a thought for his own life. In the epic poem of the same title, Beowulf is depicted as an epic hero, who fights and kills Grendel and stops him from killing any more of Hrothgar's men. This courageous confrontation with a demonic beast proves Beowulf's great loyalty and love to Hrothgar and his people.
On his own part as an epic hero, Beowulf shows that he is a brave, loyal, responsible, and strong warrior-leader by risking his life for the greater good and glory of his people and his kingdom. He utilized his great courage, inhuman strength, and faith to also defeat Grendel’s mother, who fought to revenge her son's death, by using the sword that Grendel’s mother kept at her disposal, but was unable to use. He had earlier defeated Grendel himself and later he also defeated the Dragon. By traveling great “distances to prove his strength at impossible odds against supernatural demons and beasts,” Beowulf proves that he is indeed an epic hero.
Explanation:
The poem "Beowulf " (c1200) dates back to a very different era. But, the poem gives modern day readers a historical view of Anglo-Saxon life. It also emphasizes universal human characteristics and themes of life that are still relevant to the modern day readers. For instance, it teaches readers that Anglo-Saxons believe in revenge and battle more than life because life is fleeting, but fame is not.
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.

If an author wanted to write a book that showed the humor and the tragedy of life in a distant country, he or she would most likely write alan
A. parable
B. tragicomedy
C. satire
D. allegory
Answer:
... he or she would most likely write a/an:
B. tragicomedy.
Explanation:
Parables are short stories, usually easy to understand and that have a moral lesson at the end. Jesus, for instance, used to preach by using parables, so that even simple people would learn the lessons he wanted to convey. We can eliminate this option.
A satire does use humor, but its purpose is to expose the vices and imperfections of certain people, especially of those in power. Its purpose is to ridicule them. We can also eliminate this option.
An allegory is a story that carries a hidden meaning. A famous example of allegory is George Orwell's "Animal Farm", in which the animals and the events are representations of the Russian Revolution. This is also not the choice we are looking for.
The best option is indeed letter B. tragicomedy. This literary genre is a mix of humor and tragedy, of comedy and sadness. The instructions tell us the author wants to write a book to show "the humor and the tragedy" of something. There is no better choice than a tragicomedy.
Answer:
B. tragicomedy

Since childhood, Jess has been interested in the art of storytelling. She would entertain her little brother and sister with tales of magic and adventure. She started writing stories almost as soon as she learned the alphabet. To write her stories, Jess relies on her colorful imagination.
___________________________
Let us consider the other answer choices:
Choice [A]: "has been interested" ;
Choice [C]: "would entertain" ;
Choice [D]: "started writing" ;
are all "verb phrases" ; that do not contain any "noun"— or subject or object—nor do they function as a "noun" or "subject" in any way.
Choice [E]: "as soon as" ; is an "adverb phrase" that describes "when" something is about to happen —(albeit not very specific about "when"—in this particular explanation.
____________________________
Choice: [B]: " the art of storytelling" ; is the correct answer.
____________________________
This is clearly a "noun phrase" ; since it begins with a noun [athough this is not required to be a "noun phrase"]—and is modified by a "gerund" [i.e. modified by further explanation—by using the words "of storytelling"] ; in which the "gerund" is "storytelling". Gerunds are nouns formed from "verb forms ending in -ing" —which function as a noun.

A poem is the very image of life expressed in its eternal
truth. There is this difference between a story and a
poem, that a story is a catalogue of detached facts, which
have no other connexion than time, place, circumstance,
cause and effect; the other is the creation of actions
according to the unchangeable forms of human nature, as
existing in the mind of the Creator, which is itself the
image of all other minds.
- "A Defence of Poetry,"
Percy Bysshe Shelley
According to the passage, what is the difference
between a poem and a story?

Explain how Kim’s heritage influences his relationships with the people he encounters, including his friends. What does Kim think about the British who live in India? Use text from the excerpt you read to support your answers.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Kim’s heritage influences his relationships with the people he encounters, including his friends in that he was born in Europe, so he has different genes that the people from India so his personality is different. However, he has been living in India for many years and he understands the culture of this territory that in those years was ruled bu the British government. He knows how to relate with the people from India and the people from Britain although he has always believed that the English people are superior. The contradiction is that the has differences with the British who live in India because he knows so well the native men and women from India. He knows what the Indians think of the white British and why they are reluctant to the British. So he developed traits that make him more fond of the Indians than the British.
The novel "Kim" was written by English author Rudyard Kipling in 1900. In this novel, Kipling makes a precise description of the culture, traditions, customs, and beliefs of the Indian people.
Answer:
Kim's identity is particularly complicated. He is European by birth, but he has been immersed the culture of India his whole life. Kim displays the traits of both the British and the Indians, but he considers the British superior to the natives, as seen in this interaction with an Indian friend: “There was some justification for Kim—he had kicked Lala Dinanath's boy off the trunnions—since the English held the Punjab and Kim was English.”
However, Kim is not comfortable with the idea of interacting with Europeans, partly because of the kind of life he leads:
As he reached the years of indiscretion, he learned to avoid missionaries and white men of serious aspect who asked who he was, and what he did. For Kim did nothing with an immense success. . . . [and] missionaries and secretaries of charitable societies could not see the beauty of [what he did].
Kim avoids British men and women who live in India. Since he has grown up with the natives, he shares their mistrust of the Europeans.

What would happen if my parents had to sell the farm so we could move closer to my grandparents?

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 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.

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.
