1.The library of your school has been expanded and modernised with the facilities of computer and Internet connection and video tapes and shifted to a new block which is more spacious and better ventilated. As Rishabh / Ruchika, write a report in about 120-150 words for your school magazine. pls guys help its urgent
When we arrived at school today we had a very pleasant surprise. Our library has been improved and has devices that will not only make our research and reading more effective, but also present us with a more comfortable and less tiring environment that will positively influence our academic performance.
The library has a larger space, which may not only house more students but also acquire a larger and more complete arch than what we had before. However, this is not the only upgrade that we will be able to observe, since now the library allows us to have computers and internet access, which will make our research more complete because we will have access to numerous research sources and may even speed up the loan and return of books whenever we need them.
Improvements like this only bring positive results to our academic community and we should expect that other sectors of our school are contemplated.
Ruchika.
Im sorry its so long ill give brainliest to whoever anwsers it correctly.
Read the two passages and answer the question. Passage 1: "Midas" retold by Thomas Bulfinch [1] Bacchus, on a certain occasion, found his old schoolmaster and foster-father, Silenus, missing. The old man had been drinking, and in that state wandered away, and was found by some peasants, who carried him to their king, Midas. Midas recognized him, and treated him hospitably, entertaining him for ten days and nights with an unceasing round of jollity. [2] On the eleventh day he brought Silenus back, and restored him in safety to his pupil. Whereupon Bacchus offered Midas his choice of a reward, whatever he might wish. He asked that whatever he might touch should be changed into gold. Bacchus consented, though sorry that he had not made a better choice. [3] Midas went his way, rejoicing in his new-acquired power, which he hastened to put to the test. He could scarce believe his eyes when he found a twig of an oak, which he plucked from the branch, become gold in his hand. He took up a stone; it changed to gold. He touched a sod; it did the same. He took up an apple from the tree; you would have thought he had robbed the garden of the Hesperides. His joy knew no bounds, and as soon as he got home, he ordered the servants to set a splendid repast on the table. Then he found to his dismay that whether he touched bread, it hardened in his hand; or put a morsel to his lip, it defied his teeth. He took a glass of wine, but it flowed down his throat like melted gold. [4] In consternation at the unprecedented affliction, he strove to divest himself of his power; he hated the gift he had lately coveted. But all in vain; starvation seemed to await him. He raised his arms, all shining with gold, in prayer to Bacchus, begging to be delivered from his glittering destruction. Bacchus, merciful deity, heard and consented. "Go," said he, "to River Pactolus, trace its fountain-head, there plunge yourself and body in, and wash away your fault and its punishment." He did so, and scarce had he touched the waters before the gold-creating power passed into them, and the river sands became changed into gold, as they remain to this day. Passage 2: "Bacchus's Regret" by Hunter Doyle [1] King Midas returned my beloved teacher to me, so I rewarded him with a wish—whatever he wanted would be. Midas cried, "Give my fingers a golden touch! Then, I shall have a gilded kingdom and such." [5] I tried to make him see the err of his choice, but he would not heed the caution in my voice. I pleaded with Midas, "Be careful what you choose, for you're only thinking of what you'll gain—not what you'll lose." [9] His thirst for wealth became no match for his appetite; after all, a gold apple is not something one can bite. His daughter wept for her poor starving dad, so he wiped her tears and told her not to be sad. [13] Into a golden statue Midas's daughter became, and he and his greedy wish were ultimately to blame. Yet, maybe if I had put up more of a fight and a fret, then I wouldn't have to live with all this regret. How does the poem show the theme greed can have negative consequences differently than the myth? By allowing Bacchus to refuse Midas's wish By changing what Midas wishes for By resolving Midas's conflict sooner By showing what happens to Midas's daughter
Answer:
by showing what happens to Midas's daughter
Explanation:
HOPE THIS HELPS!!! :)
Answer:

Explain: All King Midas cares about is his gold he does not or nor care for anyone or anything but his gold.

2. Read the given extract and answer the questions that follows. The tree stretches in the sun It knows the birds that fly The beasts that run, climb and jump From its heavy loaded branches It yawns and digs its roots a) What does the animals and birds do? b) Name the poem and the poet. c)What is the poetic device used in this stanza ? Pick the line and write.
Answer and Explanation:
a) What do the animals and birds do?
The animals and birds use the tree freely, climbing it, jumping or flying from its branches. This is the tree in summer, according to the poem.
b) Name the poem and the poet.
The poem is called "The tree in Season", and it was written by Robert Fisher.
c) What is the poetic device used in this stanza? Pick the line and write.
The most evident poetic device used in this stanza is personification. Through personification, an author attributes human-like qualities to non-human beings or living qualities to non-living objects. The tree is just a tree. It has no mind, no knowledge. Yet, the speaker says it "knows the birds". The tree does not have a moving body, like animals and humans do. It cannot move on its own. Yet, the speaker says it "stretches" and "yawns".

What evidence from the novel the war of the worlds supports the theme that human vanity can lead to trouble? A. But, looking, I presently saw something stirring within the shadow: greyish billowy movements, one above another, and then two luminous disks — like eyes. B. The Martians seem to have calculated their descent with amazing subtlety — their mathematical learning is evidently far in excess of ours — and to have carried out their preparations with a well-nigh perfect unanimity. C. No writer up to the very end of the nineteenth century expressed any idea that intelligent life might have developed there far, or indeed at all, beyond its earthly level. D. It required a certain amount of scientific education to perceive that the grey scale of the Thing was no common oxide, that the yellowish-white metal that gleamed in the crack between the lid and the cylinder had an unfamiliar hue.
Answer:
C. No writer up to the very end of the nineteenth century expressed any idea that intelligent life might have developed there far, or indeed at all, beyond its earthly level.
Explanation:
H. G. Wells' science-fictional novel "War of the Worlds" is one of the very first stories ever written about any form of conflict between humans and extraterrestrial beings/ aliens. Presenting the novel as a narrative form through the eyes of a young man in London, the plot revolves around a sudden Martian attack on Earth.
One of the themes of the novel i that human vanity 'refused' or failed to acknowledge the presence of an extraterrestrial being out in the vast universe. This idea is supported when the author comments that "no writer up to the very end of the nineteenth century expressed any idea that intelligent life might have developed (anywhere outside of human existence)." This means that humans think highly of themselves that they didn't think any creature exists or can exist and didn't even think about it even in the nineteenth century.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Answer:
You are called by them.

Directions: Read the lines of poetry. Slashes represent line breaks. Identify two or more poetic techniques being used in each example and write them on the line. There may be more than two techniques being used. In the boxes below, explain each of your answers. Alliteration, Consonance, Onomatopoeia, Repetition, Rhyme, Rhythm 1. Radiant raindrops couching in cool flowers; And flowers themselves, that sway through sunny hours, Dreaming of moths that drink them under the moon; Which techniques are being used (list two or more)?
Answer:
Alliteration, Repetition, Rhyme.

Alliteration- This is a technique when the same first letter of a given word is used again in the next word or close quarters. So, the alliteration in the given lines of poetry is "radiant raindrops/ couching.. cool/ sway.. sunny" etc. While radiant and raindrops start with "R", couching and cool starts with "C" and sway and sunny starts with "S". This is a pattern of alliteration.
Repetition is the use of the same word/ words in a consecutive pattern or a short space of the poem. This is used at times to emphasize the word. The repeated word in the given lines of poetry is "flowers"
Rhyme is the similarity in the sounds in the lines. This correspondence of such similar-sounding end words especially in lines of poetry is identified as the rhyme scheme. The rhyme in the given lines of poetry is in the words "flowers" and "hours" that have the same end-sound.
