Answers

Answer 1

The correct answer is D. They made poems easier to memorize.

Explanation:

In poems, alliteration refers to using words with the same consonant sound in a verse or multiple verses. This device makes the poem more memorable or easy to remember as the repetition forms a sound pattern. Also, by remembering which consonant sound is repeated it is easy to remember the words of each verse. Similarly, the use of the meter or a specific structure of verses (number of syllables in each verse and organization of stressed/unstressed syllables) makes the poem to be predictable and easy to remember. Moreover, these two features were more commonly used in poems during the 14th and 15th centuries as in this way the audience could better remember poems.

Answers

Answer:

A. A camel can go without water for days and days, he stores water in the hump on his back.

Explanation:

This sentence is a run-on sentence, as the two clauses "a camel can go without water for days and days", and "he stores water in the hump on his back", are better to be independent of each other, because they have very little commonality.

The first stanza of “On Being Brought from Africa,” introduces a paradox. Using evidence from the poem, describe the paradox.

Answers

Answer:

“On Being Brought from Africa”

Paradox in the first stanza:

Phillis described her enslavement as a means of her salvation.  Thus, she was brought to America so that her soul could be saved.  Those who enslaved her, saved her.  This ordinarily sounds difficult to understand and contradictory.  How can somebody who kill you make you alive?  This is a paradox which can only be appreciated in the light of the Christian gospel.  Christ died and rose again from the dead.  Because He has risen, He is able to save those who die in sin.

This is the central message of Phillis' poem titled "On Being Brought from Africa."  In her own words:

 "Twas mercy brought me from my Pagan land,

  Taught my benighted soul to understand  

  That there's a God, that there's a Saviour too:

  Once I redemption neither sought nor knew. "

Evil was turned to good in her life.  She was not complaining against her enslavement or being removed from her African root, friends, and family.  She eulogized God who has the ultimate power to bring about good from evil.  Though, she was not praising evil, she knew and therefore, understood, and greatly benefited from the evil done to her, and even appreciated those who did her evil for doing her good.

This should be the attitude of all Africans, including African Americans, and this should be how they must view their past.  Slavery was a condemnable evil.  But, God has turned it to good.  Africans should stop lamenting their past enslavement.  They should henceforth make themselves free and live in freedom.  They should not retreat to their past.  The past is history.  It is not the future of Africa.  They should appreciate that, though, enslavery derived them of temporary freedom, it has brought lasting freedom.  Freedom is only achieved in Christ Jesus, in walking the talk, and not in blaming the past or past actors.  Olaudah Equiano bought his freedom within three years.  For more than 50 years now, Africans have been in charge of their governments and their borders, but what have they achieved with the leadership?  They are still leading the people back to slavery in so many absurd ways.

Explanation:

Phillis Wheatley wrote "On Being Brought from Africa" in 1773.  She is recognized as the first African American woman to publish a book in English.

The paradox is that black people are seen as sinful beings, even if they accept and practice Christian concepts and doctrines.

We can arrive at this answer because:

Paradox is the figure of speech that presents two contrary ideas, which cancel each other out as true and coexisting ideas.In “On Being Brought from Africa,” we can see an example of this figure of speech when the speaker forms that black people were forced to adopt Christianity when they were pulled out of Africa and imprisoned in America.However, even though they are Christians and practice Christianity, black people are seen as sinful and pagan people.

In this case, we can see that the paradox in this poem shows that even Christians, blacks are seen as beings turned to sin.

Answer:

Explanation:

From my opinion, fast food companies want to advertise their food to children in school is to encourage the young people to eat fast food. if they do like the food the children will be brain washed into thinking fast food is good and will have them go to fast food constantly. They like this cycle because they can easily get more money and preying on little kids is an advantage because they don't know any better. this is why i think fast food companies want to advertise and sell their products in schools.

Answers

Explanation:  In Birmingham, Alabama, in the spring of 1963, King’s campaign to end segregation at lunch counters and in hiring practices drew nationwide attention when police turned dogs and fire hoses on the demonstrators. King was jailed along with large numbers of his supporters, including hundreds of schoolchildren. His supporters did not, however, include all the Black clergy of Birmingham, and he was strongly opposed by some of the white clergy who had issued a statement urging African Americans not to support the demonstrations. From the Birmingham jail, King wrote a letter of great eloquence in which he spelled out his philosophy of nonviolence:Near the end of the Birmingham campaign, in an effort to draw together the multiple forces for peaceful change and to dramatize to the country and to the world the importance of solving the U.S. racial problem, King joined other civil rights leaders in organizing the historic March on Washington. On August 28, 1963, an interracial assembly of more than 200,000 gathered peaceably in the shadow of the Lincoln Memorial to demand equal justice for all citizens under the law. Here the crowds were uplifted by the emotional strength and prophetic quality of King’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech, in which he emphasized his faith that all men, someday, would be brothers.

In the story "A Retrieved Reformation," Detective Ben Price follows Jimmy Valentine to Elmore, Arkansas. At the end of the story, what can you infer about Jimmy Valentine’s thinking? What does he believe price aims to do at the bank? In about 50 words, explain what you can infer and support your answer with examples from your text.

Answers

Answer:

At the end of the story, Jimmy Valentine seemed to finally have a change of heart after opening a safe which was believed to be unbreakable with his "special tools" of his trade, to save a young girl stuck in the bank safe.

He believed that the policeman Price was there to take him in custody and finally be imprisoned with definite proof or evidence.

Explanation:

O. Henry's short story "A Retrieved Reformation" revolves around the story of a notorious thief Jimmy Valentine who had a change of heart after saving a young child from a locked bank safe. The end of the story shows Valentine giving up his fake identity and agreeing to go with policeman Ben Price to the station, indicating he's ready to be kept a prisoner.

He believes that Price was there to catch him red-handed as he had never been caught red-handed before in all his crimes. When he was set free from the prison, he blatantly stated that "I never broke open a safe in my life". Now that Price was there to see everything that had happened, even though he didn't rob the bank but rather saved a little girl's life, he believed that the policeman was there to arrest him now that he's seen him break open a safe with his own eyes.

He shows his resignation when he saw Ben Price, simply greeting the man with "his strange smile" and admitted "You’re here at last, are you? Let’s go. I don’t care, now."

Answer:

Detective Price arrested Jimmy in the past. Jimmy sees Price outside the bank after he opens the safe to save Annabel’s niece. Jimmy believes Price is there to arrest him for the recent bank robberies. This is evident when he tells Price, “Got around at last, have you? Well, let’s go

When you encounter a T-critical value of 2.50, which T-obtained value would reject the null hypothesis? A) Tobt = 2.75 B) Tobt = -2.75 C) Tobt = 2.40 D) Tobt = - 2.40

Answers

Answer: A) Tobt = 2.75 B) Tobt = -2.75

Explanation:

We reject the null hypothesis when the absolute critical t-value is lower than the absolute t-obtained value.

The given t-critical value [tex]T_{crit}=2.50[/tex]

So , we reject null hypothesis , when [tex]2.50< | T_{obt}|[/tex]

Since, [tex]2.50<|2.75|,\ \ 2.50<|-2.75|[/tex]  but [tex]2.50>|2.40|\ \ \ , 2.50>|-2.40|[/tex]

So, the correct options are A) Tobt = 2.75 B) Tobt = -2.75

Before I built a wall I'd ask to know What I was walling in or walling out, And to whom I was like to give offence. Something there is that doesn't love a wall, That wants it down." Now read "The Pasture," also by Robert Frost. I’m going out to clean the pasture spring; I’ll only stop to rake the leaves away (And wait to watch the water clear, I may): I shan’t be gone long.—You come too. I’m going out to fetch the little calf That’s standing by the mother. It’s so young, It totters when she licks it with her tongue. I shan’t be gone long.—You come too.

This question is incomplete. According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

Frost’s opinions changed through time. The poems have different speakers. Frost’s speakers represent his own views. The poems were written at different locations.

In this question, we see two different poems written by the same author, Robert Frost. In the first poem, Frost talks about the building of a wall, and how this is perceived not only by the person building the wall, but by others. In the second case, Frost talks about a calf, and how this symbolizes the beginning of the spring. The views that are expressed about spring are different because the speakers in the poem are different as well. Therefore, they each focus on different elements of spring.

Which sentences in this excerpt from Ernest Hemingway's "In Another Country" reflect the theme of the psychological alienation caused by war?
We all had the same medals, except the boy with the black silk bandage across his face, and he had not been at the front long enough to get any
medals. The tall boy with a very pale face who was to be a lawyer had been lieutenant of Arditi carefully selected volunteers specializing in
dangerous campaigns and had three medals of the sort we each had only one of. He had lived a very long time with death and was a little
detached. We were all a little detached, and there was nothing that held us together except that we met every afternoon at the hospital.
Although, as we walked to the Cova through the tough part of town, walking in the dark, with light and singing coming out of the wine-shops,
and sometimes having to walk into the street when the men and women would crowd together on the sidewalk so that we would have had to
jostle them to get by, we felt held together by there being something that had happened that they, the people who disliked us, did not
understand.

Answer:

He had lived a very long time with death and was a little

detached. We were all a little detached, and there was nothing that held us together except that we met every afternoon at the hospital

We felt held together by there being something that had happened that they, the people who disliked us, did not understand

Explanation:

The first sentence describes how the war affected the men psychologically as they had all stayed with death for too long and were detached, in a way from their immediate surrounding with the only thing holding them together being the visits to the hospital.

The second sentence that reflect the theme of psychological alienation caused by war was the statement about being held together and not being understood by the people who disliked them.

Answers

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Lourdes hadn’t bothered to study for the essay exam, joking that her motto was "fake it ‘til you make it." Now, as she stared in horror at the test booklet, the blank pages were doing the laughing, knowing she had no answers. What kind of figurative language is used?

a. personification

b. simile

c. metaphor

d. hyperbole

Answer:

The kind of figurative language being used is:

a. personification

Explanation:

Personification is a common figure of speech in literary works. Personification happens when an author gives living qualities to non-living things. For instance, if the speaker of a poem says that the wind and the leaves are dancing during fall, he is using personification. Wind and leaves are not humans; they do not dance. However, by saying so, the speaker makes the movements of the leaves being carried by the wind more artistic, more vivid even.

The same happens when the author of the passage we are analyzing says, "the blank pages were doing the laughing, knowing she had no answers." Blank pages are not beings, much less conscious beings. They cannot know anything or laugh at all. But, by phrasing it this way, the author makes it seem that Lourdes is being mocked, that her fate is quite an ironic one.

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

Answers

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.
