Read this excerpt from Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.
I knew I could never let Mom hear the messages, because protecting her is one of my most important raisons
d'être, so what I did was I took Dad's emergency money from on top of his dresser, and I went to the Radio
Shack on Amsterdam. It was on a TV there that I saw that the first building had fallen. I bought the exact same
phone and ran home and recorded our greeting from the first phone onto it. I wrapped up the old phone in the
scarf that Grandma was never able to finish because of my privacy, and I put that in a grocery bag, and I put that
in a box, and I put that in another box, and I put that under a bunch of stuff in my closet, like my jewelry
workbench and albums of foreign currencies.

Answers

Answer 1
the answer is c i took the test
Answer 2

The word that best describes the tone of this excerpt is "methodical". The narrator describes in detail the steps he took to protect his mother from hearing the messages on the phone, including buying a new phone and hiding the old one.

What tone is set in "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close'' ?

The tone of "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" by Jonathan Safran Foer is complex and multifaceted, as the novel deals with a range of themes and emotions.

The tone is calm and deliberate, as if the narrator is carefully planning and executing his plan to protect his mother.

There is no sense of deceit or disrespect in the tone, and while there may be a hint of sentimentality in the mention of the scarf that his grandmother was never able to finish, it is not a dominant tone in the passage. Hence, option C is correct.

The cost of laptop and desktop differs from each other. The cost of replacing modem with another modem or router will also be an expense to the business.

Laptop cost $890

Desktop cost $1,130

Modem $50

while a used modem is $20

WAN is $0.02/GB

LAN is $20,000/year

This expense is basic in both the setups

Laptops $890 * 3 = $2670

Home Based additional expense

Rent $1,400

Modem $50

LAN $20,000

= $21,450

Building Network

Modem $50 * 3 = $150

WAN $0.02/GB *  950,000 = $19,000

Answer:

Tomatoes can be picked and stored in the morning.

Explanation:

A sentence can be defined as a group of words that comprises of both a subject and predicate used to convey a logical information. Sentences are classified into three (3) main categories and these includes;

I. Simple sentence.

II. Compound sentence.

III. Complex sentence.

In English language, a simple sentence can be defined as a sentence that comprises of a single independent clause, a predicate or verb and a subject. Also, the subject in a simple sentence is joined together by a conjunction such as "and" and "because" to reflect the action that is being performed or done by the verb in the sentence.

In this scenario, you are required to rearrange the sentence in such a way that it becomes logical and expresses a complete thought.

Hence, the sentence is rearranged and written as follows;

"Tomatoes can be picked and stored in the morning."

Read the following excerpt from “The Gift of the Magi” and answer the question. For there lay The Combs--the set of combs, side and back, that Della had worshipped long in a Broadway window. Beautiful combs, pure tortoise shell, with jewelled rims--just the shade to wear in the beautiful vanished hair. They were expensive combs, she knew, and her heart had simply craved and yearned over them without the least hope of possession. And now, they were hers, but the tresses that should have adorned the coveted adornments were gone. But she hugged them to her bosom, and at length she was able to look up with dim eyes and a smile and say: "My hair grows so fast, Jim! And them Della leaped up like a little singed cat and cried, "Oh, oh!" Jim had not yet seen his beautiful present. She held it out to him eagerly upon her open palm. The dull precious metal seemed to flash with a reflection of her bright and ardent spirit."Isn't it a dandy, Jim? I hunted all over town to find it. You'll have to look at the time a hundred times a day now. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it." Instead of obeying, Jim tumbled down on the couch and put his hands under the back of his head and smiled."Della," said he, "let's put our Christmas presents away and keep 'em a while. They're too nice to use just at present. I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs. And now suppose you put the chops on." The magi, as you know, were wise men--wonderfully wise men--who brought gifts to the Babe in the manger. They invented the art of giving Christmas presents. Being wise, their gifts were no doubt wise ones, possibly bearing the privilege of exchange in case of duplication. And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house. But in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest. O all who give and receive gifts, such as they are wisest. Ev

Answers

Answer: The author is emphasizing the sense of loss that Della must feel when she realizes she can’t use them.

Explanation:

The purpose of the author’s description of the beauty of the combs is that the author is emphasizing the sense of loss that Della must feel when she realizes she can’t use them.

From the excerpt, Della has always admired the combs which she had worshipped in a Broadway window. She adores them and believed that it will be perfect for her hair.

Eventually Jim got it for her but the tresses that should have adorned the coveted adornments were gone. Here, the author described how beautiful and adorable the combs were to show how Della must have really felt bad that she won't be able to use them.

A verbal altercation quickly turns physical. Montague's relative Benvolio approaches and draws his sword in an effort to break up the altercation. Tybalt, a Capulet kin, draws his own sword after spotting Benvolio's drawn one.

Benvolio tries to explain that he is only trying to maintain order, but Tybalt declares that he hates peace just as much as he hates the Montagues and launches an attack.

The conflict is attempted to be resolved by a group of citizens brandishing clubs. Only their wives stop Montague and Capulet from attacking one another as they enter. When Prince Escalus arrives, he issues a stop-fighting order under threat of torture.

"false compare"

Explanation:

In lines 13 - 14 of Sonnet 130, William Shakespeare talked about the beauty of his love interest.

And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare

As any she belied with false compare.

He believed that her beauty was misrepresented or contradicted (As any she belied) when compared to the beauty of others which was exaggerated (false compare/comparison). He did not believe in using bulky adjectives to qualify his woman for he believed that he could directly tell how he felt about her. Being belied or contradicted is supported by the fact that there was a false comparison.

Read the article Skara Brae: Skara Brae is one of the oldest historical sites in Europe, and it stayed hidden for more than 4,000 years. The ancient village of Skara Brae was discovered on the main island of Orkney, in Scotland. A massive storm in 1850 removed the sand that had covered it for thousands of years, exposing the remains of a small village. Skara Brae is a collection of eight round, stone houses that still have their stone furnishings and even some of the belongings of the inhabitants. The contents can tell us a great deal about how people lived in what is called the Neolithic era, or the last period of the Stone Age. Seven of the eight houses appear to have been family homes, with beds, dressers, fireplaces, and even simple toilets. The eighth house may have been a community workshop. It shows evidence of tool-making and the use of a large fire pit. How was Skara Brae built, and what, eventually, happened to it

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

As shown in the text above, the Skara Brae was built with stones. Despite being in Europe and wood being more efficient as a thermal insulator for cold weather, wood was very scarce in this region, with stones being a more appropriate material to build houses, as you can see in the remains of this community. Many scientists believe that the roofs of these houses were made from whale ribs and the bones of other animals.

Historians believe that Europe's very cold weather during the winter was the reason the residents of this house left the region. In addition to the fact that their stone houses did not protect them from the intense cold, the region did not have enough food for them during the colder seasons.

It is important to emphasize that Skara Brae is considered a historical heritage by UNESCO.
