Read the passage.

To Waken an Old Lady
by William Carlos Williams

Old age is
a flight of small
cheeping birds
skimming
bare trees
above a snow glaze.
Gaining and failing
they are buffeted
by a dark wind—
But what?
On harsh weedstalks
the flock has rested,
the snow
is covered with broken
seedhusks
and the wind tempered
by a shrill
piping of plenty.

What is the theme of this poem?

Elderly people should live life fully despite the difficulties of old age.

For young people, life is full of challenges.

Elderly people should not go outside in snowy and windy weather.

Young birds should not try to fly during strong winds.

You can take __________ the shirt ____________ the sweater .Not both. A.Neither--------- nor B.Either-----------or

Answers

Answer:

B. Either-----------or

Explanation:

'Either - Or' is used in the English sentence which refers to a choice between any two options. They are used to determine one or the other of the alternatives.

Either - Or is used to affirm each of the two alternatives.

In the context, it is given that :

We can take one of the two item, that is  ----

1. shirt

2. sweater

We affirm to choose only one item from the two.

So, the answer is " B. Either-----------or "

" You can take either the shirt or the sweater."

Lawd, ef Ah had jus one mo bullet Ah'd taka shot at tha house. Ah'd like t scare ol man Hawkins jusa little ... Jusa enough t let im know Dave Saunders is a man. What message does the author give to the reader by using the phrase big white house in this context

Answers

Answer:

To show the readers that Mr. Hawkins was a rich landowner.

Explanation:

Richard Wright's "The Man Who Was Almost A Man" is about a young teenage black boy's desire to be an adult. But through the process of trying to 'exhibit' himself as an adult, he learned that adulthood is a difficult and extensive journey that he cannot easily achieve.

In the given excerpt, Dave is seen with his gun looking at Mr. Hawkins' "big white house" which he wishes he "[could] taka shot at tha house . . . scare ol man Hawkins jusa little ... Jusa enough t let im know Dave Saunders is a man." And through the description of the house, we can infer that Mr. Hawkins is a rich, white landowner who Dave hates.

Answers

Answer:B is the answer

Explanation:Ratio

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, has an internal rhyme. hence the option B is correct.

What is Internal Rhyme ?

Internal rhyme is a poetic device in which words within a line of verse rhyme with one another. Unlike end rhyme, which occurs at the end of lines, internal rhyme can occur anywhere within a line of poetry.

For example, consider the following lines from Edgar Allan Poe's poem "The Raven":

"While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,

As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door."

In these lines, the words "napping" and "tapping" rhyme with each other within the first line, and the words "rapping" and "tapping" rhyme with each other within the second line.

This creates a musical and rhythmic effect within the poem, drawing attention to the repeated sounds and emphasizing certain words and phrases.

Internal rhyme is a common technique used in poetry to add emphasis, musicality, and complexity to a poem's language and structure.

What figure of speech is used in "White smoke crept over a green field."

Alliteration
Idiom
Simile
Personification

Answers

Answer:

Personification

Explanation:

Alliteration means the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words.

Idiom means a group of words established by usage as having a meaning not deducible from those of the individual words.

Simile means a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more emphatic or vivid.

Personification means the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something nonhuman, or the representation of an abstract quality in human form.

So the answer is personification because "White smoke crept over a green field." is the attribution of a personal nature characteristics.

Read this paragraph from chapter 5 of The Prince.


Whenever those states which have been acquired as stated have been accustomed to live under their own laws and in freedom, there are three courses for those who wish to hold them: the first is to ruin them, the next is to reside there in person, the third is to permit them to live under their own laws, drawing a tribute, and establishing within it an oligarchy which will keep it friendly to you. Because such a government, being created by the prince, knows that it cannot stand without his friendship and interest, and does its utmost to support him; and therefore he who would keep a city accustomed to freedom will hold it more easily by the means of its own citizens than in any other way.


Which statement best summarizes the central idea of the paragraph?


A. A prince can hold a newly acquired state that is accustomed to freedom only by first ruining it, then moving there and establishing an oligarchy that is loyal to him.

B. There are three ways for a prince to hold a newly acquired state that is accustomed to freedom: ruin it, live there, or create an oligarchy that is loyal to him—and the third way is easiest.

C. A prince can hold a newly acquired state that is accustomed to freedom only by first ruining it, then moving there and winning the citizens’ loyalty by granting them freedom.

D. There are three ways for a prince to hold a newly acquired state that is accustomed to freedom: ruin it, live there, or create an oligarchy that is loyal to him, all of which are equally effective.

Answers

Answer:

The statement which best summarizes the central idea of the paragraph is:

B. There are three ways for a prince to hold a newly acquired state that is accustomed to freedom: ruin it, live there, or create an oligarchy that is loyal to him - and the third way is the easiest.

Explanation:

"The Prince" is a book published in 1532 by Niccolò Machiavelli, an Italian statesman and and political philosopher born in 1469.

As we can see in the excerpt, Machiavelli is discussing the ways a conqueror can maintain a conquered land under his control, especially if the people from that land are used to being free and to having their own government. According to him, there are 3 ways: "to ruin them, . . . to reside (live) there in person, . . . and establishing an oligarchy which will keep it friendly to you."

The third way is the easiest one. The conqueror would be using the land's own people and politicians in his favor. With that in mind, we can choose letter B as the best option.

You had to prepare a meal all by

short story​

Answers

I prepared a meal by myself. To make the meal I first looked for a recipe. I found an old recipe book and looked through all the recipes. I found a recipe for baked chicken and mashed potato’s with green beans. I decided to make it. I found some chicken breast and thawed it. While it thawed I boiled water for the potatoes. Once the water came to a boil I dropped the potatoes in and checked on the chicken. It was fully thawed so I seasoned it and put it in the oven. Once that was done I got to work on the green beans. I got them from a can but I seasoned and drained them before heating them up. After that I checked on the potatoes. The pot had over boiled and I had to quickly mop up the mess made before straining out the water. Once that was finished I was exhausted, but I was able to mash the potatoes and add the salt, butter, and milk. I then pulled the chicken out of the oven. Then I set the table and called my family down. Everyone loved the food. I learned how much work goes into cooking and not take it for granted.

What impact does the setting of this passage have on the characters?

Claire and Susan traveled Europe with other students to experience the fascinating local cultures. They tried out new foods, met new people, and visited some of the most breathtaking locations. They even managed to make some new friends along the way. When they returned home, Susan and Claire felt that they wouldn’t look at things the same way again. It had been a great experience.

Answers

The setting in the following passage is highly relevant to the characters and plotline. The passage details Claire and Susan's trip to Europe. During their trip, they experience "fascinating local cultures", "new foods", "new people", and "the most breathtaking locations". The passages goes on to explain hat they even made friends along the way. If the setting had been anywhere else, the experience would not necessarily have been the same. They may not have been able to find foods as enjoyable as the ones that found in Europe, they may not have been able to find as nice of people and friends, and they may not have found the scenery along the way as interesting. For this reason, the setting is undeniably one of the most important factors in the passage and to these characters.
