Answer:
The correctly punctuated quotation seems to be the first one:
According to Dr. Brock at the Amazon Institute, "capybaras have webbed feet for swimming and can even sleep underwater by keeping their nose just above the surface for breathing."
Explanation:
We can easily eliminate the last two options, since their use of quotation marks is completely wrong. Quotation marks are supposed to establish, so to speak, where the quote begins and where it ends. That is, they are supposed to show which words belong to the person being mentioned, separating them from the author's words. In the last two options, the marks are including words that were not said by Dr. Brock.
Now, when it comes to the first two options, we need to be careful because they are very similar. They are both using the quotation marks correctly. They also include the period before the last quotation mark, which is also correct. The difference between them seems to be only the capitalization of "Capybaras" in the second one. Such capitalization is unnecessary, which is why I believe the first option is the best choice.

The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best
could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge.
You, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not
suppose, however, that I gave utterance to a threat. At length
I would be avenged; this was a point definitely settled-but
the very definitiveness with which it was resolved precluded
the idea of risk. I must not only punish but punish with
impunity.* A wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes
its redresser. It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails
to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong
It must be understood that neither by word nor deed had 1
given Fortunato cause to doubt my good will. I continued, as
was my wont, to smile in his face, and he did not perceive
that my smile now was at the thought of his immolation.**

Which of the following excerpts from the short story "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe best demonstrates the unreliability of the narrator?
OA You should have seen how wisely I proceeded-with what caution-with what foresight-with what dissimulation I went to
work!
OB. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily—how calmly I can tell you the whole
story.
Oc And then, when I had made an opening sufficient for my head, I put in a dark lantern, all closed, closed, that no light shone out
and then I thrust in my head.
OD. Oh, you would have laughed to see how cunningly I thrust it in! I moved it slowly-very, very slowly, so that I might not disturb
the old man's sleep.

The excerpt from the short story "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe that best demonstrates the unreliability of the narrator is:
D. Oh, you would have laughed to see how cunningly I thrust it in! I moved it slowly-very, very slowly, so that I might not disturb the old man's sleep.
How is the unreliability of the narrator demonstrated in the text?In the text, the unreliability of the narrator is seen in his own description of himself. He clearly used the word, cunningly to describe how he thrust an object in and moved stealthily so that he would not wake the old man who was sleeping. All of these descriptions point to the personality of the narrator as a deceitful person.
Through this description, we can say that he was an unreliable person. Direct characterization is often used to show the qualities of a person in a very clear manner. We do not have to think about what the narrator represents for the text clearly mentions that he was cunning.

What purpose do sentence starters
serve?
A)to introduce and to explain the textual evidence
B) to repeat the writer's idea
C) to explain the textual evidence
D)to introduce the textual evidence
Answer: D)to introduce the textual evidence
Explanation: While it can be difficult at times to start sentences in order to express ideas or thoughts, sentence starters can come to the rescue as they are words and phrases to use at the start of sentences and thus provides a partial frame to begin. It serves to introduce the textual evidence (the point of analysis) within a text in order to complete a writing or discussion activity thus helping them build toward the ability to analyze and write about content without the use of the frames.

'A doctrine of consideration for others, similar to the golden rule, was taught by Confucius as the basis for all social and political conduct.' written in active voice
Answer:
'Confucius taught a doctrine of consideration for others, similar to the golden rule as the basis for all social and political conduct.'
Explanation:
The given sentence is written in the passive voice because the subject 'Confucius' is not performing the action(taught) stated by the verb but rather receives it and the object and verb are being emphasized and shown interest in.
It can be converted into the active voice by substituting the subject to its original position and removing 'by.' This will help emphasize the subject in the sentence where it(the subject) is directly performing the action. Thus, the final sentence will follow the structure of 'subject(Confucius) + verb(taught) + object('a doctrine...conduct'). Therefore, the final sentence in the active voice reads as:
'Confucius taught a doctrine of consideration for others, similar to the golden rule as the basis for all social and political conduct.'

Since the publication of the first novel of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight saga in 2005, millions of readers
all over the world, the majority of whom are teenage girls and women, have fallen for the love story of
Bella and Edward. Furthered by the release of the movie adaptations of the first three volumes in
2009 and 2010, critics have started to wonder about the foundation of Twilight-mania, especially
concerning the basic theme of the story, namely the vampire myth, which, throughout its literary
history, is rather a reflection of "adolescent male fantasy" (Twitchell, Living 6). Still, the indisputably
kitsny story of an inconspicuous teenager who falls in love with the vampire next door fascinates
today's emancipated and independent females and thus can be regarded as an essential part of the
success. It would seem that the attraction derives from Meyer's unique interweaving of different
generic elements, a strategy which can be found in other late 20th- and 21st-century popular
literature. Thus, for instance, the "Harry Potter books have been received with manic enthusiasm"
because they, too, "uniquely combine several kinds of appeal" (O'Keefe 176), such as the mixture of
public school story and fantasy. In the Twilight Saga, we find a similar amalgamation of various
different literary genres - fantasy fiction for young adults, vampire story, gothic romance, and
Arthurian legend. It is a medley, a generic crossing that is - not least due to its focus on an active
young heroine - bound to entice a primarily female readership.
Through an analysis of the figure of the vampire in literature as well as in folklore it will be observed
to what extent Edward differs from the folkloric blood-sucking revenant and also from the master of all
literary vampires, Dracula. Furthermore, it will be investigated how his knightly behaviour towards
Bella contributes to the impression of a romantic transformation of the gothic form. Special attention
will also be paid to the figure of Bella, who, on the one hand seems to be presented as the femme
fragile or damsel in distress concerning her physicality, but, on the other hand, represents a figure of
identification for female readers as the independent, strong-willed hero of young adult fiction. The
analysis seeks to prove that the combination of these various aspects of different genres and
traditions allows Meyer to create a new kind of vampire love story.
