Read this excerpt from the Cherokee creation story "How the World Was Made":
When all was water, the animals were above in Galûñ’lati, beyond the arch; but it was very crowded, and they wanted more room. They wondered what was below the water, and at last Beaver’s Grandchild, the little Water-beetle, offered to go and see if he could learn. He darted in every direction over the surface of the water, but could find no firm place to rest. Then he dived to the bottom and came up with some soft mud, which began to grow and spread on every side until it became the island that we call Earth. It was afterward fastened to the sky with four cords, but no one remembers who did this.
At first Earth was flat and very soft and wet. The animals were anxious to get down, and set out different birds to see if it was yet dry, but they found no place to alight and came back again to Galûñ’lati. At last it seemed to be time, and they sent out the Buzzard and told him to go and make ready for them…
When Earth was dry and the animals came down, it was still dark, so they got the sun and set it in a track to go every day across the island from east to west, just overhead…

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?
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.
write the following direct speech to reported speech last week. a very drunk man got in to abus and sat near a skinny girl.
The girl told the man that he was very drunk and it was quite distinguishing. She asked him what his mom and dad would feel when he arrived home like that. He replied that if her husband slept with a dry stick or what.
Explanation:
Reported speech is demonstrated as the grammatical construction in which the content of a statement, utterance, or question is communicated without employing the exact words of the speaker. The primary aim is to convey the same message using different words.
In order to convert the statements in the given conversation to reported speech, some necessary alterations in the pronoun, punctuation, and the verb would be made to convey the same content.
Which words in this excerpt from Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" indicate that it is a work of gothic literature? It [the tree] was connected with the tragical story of the unfortunate André, who had been taken prisoner hard by; and was universally known by the name of Major André's tree. The common people regarded it with a mixture of respect and superstition, partly out of sympathy for the fate of its ill-starred namesake, and partly from the tales of strange sights and doleful lamentations told concerning it. As Ichabod approached this fearful tree, he began to whistle; he thought his whistle was answered–it was but a blast sweeping sharply through the dry branches.

Question #4: Which sentence is a run-on sentence? A. Because she had no collar, I did not know if she belonged to a family or was a stray kitten. B. First, I decided I would make sure that she had food and water and a place to stay. C. The small kitten was walking aimlessly around the yard I decided to help her find her home. D. The next thing I did was make signs, and I posted them around the neighborhood.
The small kitten was walking aimlessly around the yard I decided to help her find her home, which is a run-on sentence. The correct option is c.
What is a run-on sentence?A run-on sentence can be understood as poor grammar. It exists when two independent clauses or the main clauses are incorrectly joined.
More than one independent clause cannot exist in a sentence unless they are properly combined. To properly combine clauses, correct conjunctions or punctuation must be added to the sentence.
Despite their name, run-on sentences have nothing to do with length. The only thing that determines a run-on sentence is when more than one independent clause exists without the proper tools to combine them.
Run-on sentences are quite short.

Answer:
C. The weather is nice today rainy, wet and cold tomorrow.
Explanation:
Run-on sentences are those types of sentences where two or more independent clauses or sentences are joined in one sentence improperly. So, instead of keeping them in separate sentences, they are joined in one sentence but without the use of an appropriate conjunction.
In the given sentences, the one with a run-on sentence is option C. This is because sentence C contains two independent clauses "the weather is nice today" and "rainy, wet and cold tomorrow". And when they are joined together, no appropriate or proper conjunction is used to make them into one sentence.
Sentence A is wrong as it contains just one independent clause.
Sentence B is wrong as it correctly uses "and" to join the two independent clauses.
Sentence D is wrong as it is just a single independent clause.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Explanation:
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.
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
