2 Why did Gopal's wife collapse to the floor?
(please help me find out the ans.)
Answer:
She had just been informed that a surgical operation needed to be carried out on her husband who had been critically ill and bedridden.
Explanation:
Gopal"s wife had just been informed that a surgical operation needed to be carried out on her husband who had been critically ill and bedridden for about one and half months.
This was the verdict of Dr Raman, Gopal's long-term friend, whose frankness and openness had earned him a reputation of being truthful.
Hence if Dr Raman said it, then it must be true.
Hence Dr Raman's verdict of the need to carry out an urgent operation on Gopal, in addition to the strain of protracted caring for her husband, was too much for Gopal's wife to bear, weakened her and made her to collapse on the floor.
what type of clause is the following? if you follow these guidelines independant clause, dependent clause, primary clause, and main clause
Answer:
Dependent clause.
Explanation:
A dependent clause is a clause or group of words that cannot stand on its own as a sentence. They need to be part of another clause, an independent clause, to be in a sentence. They contain a subject and a verb but cannot function as a complete sentence or thought.
In the given clause "if you follow these guidelines", the presence of the conditional adverb "if" makes it a dependent clause.
Thus, the correct answer is a dependent clause.

Write an essay that explains how the foreshadowing in "The Monkey's Paw" by W. W.
Jacobs creates tension, suspense, or both. Your essay will have an introduction
paragraph, several body paragraphs, and a conclusion paragraph. The ideas in your
essay must be linked by transitions.
Make sure you show a good understanding of what foreshadowing, tension, and
suspense mean. Also make sure you can pick out examples of these elements in
"The Monkey's Paw" so that you can support your essay's claim with evidence.
Your essay should include the following elements:
• A claim about how the foreshadowing in W. W. Jacobs's story creates tension or
suspense
• An introduction paragraph, at least two body paragraphs, and a conclusion
paragraph
• Evidence from the story that supports your claim
• Transitions that link words and ideas
Answer:
In ‘The Monkey’s Paw’ the author W.W.Jacobs begins the story by setting the scene and the atmosphere by describing the area in which the White’s live. Jacobs describes the night as cold and wet, while inside the house the blinds are drawn and the fire is burning brightly. This is a good contrast, as the house seems to have a warm and safe atmosphere inside, even though the cottage is situated in a remote area of the country, with extremely unpleasant and harsh weather. Before the Sergeant-Major arrives, the atmosphere of the house seems quite tense and dull. Jacobs shows how tense Mr. White is when he writes “Bawled Mr. White, with sudden and unlooked-for violence”. You can easily see that Mr. White doesn’t seem to be concentrating on his game of chess. As ‘The Monkey’s Paw’ was written over a century ago, Jacobs doesn’t use explicit gory details to create horror like modern scary films and books. Instead, he uses subtle hints in most aspects of the story to build up an element of terror and one of these aspects is the way that Jacobs uses setting. The setting of part I begins with a cliché common to most gothic horror stories. “The night was cold and wet but in the small parlour of a Laburnum villa…” The wet and cold atmosphere has an unpleasant effect on the reader as it makes them immediately feel uneasy about the situation. Cold and wet as a combination are both largely used clichés to set the scene of a story, similar to ‘To Build a Fire’, by Jack London, which did however have a more intense description of the setting which was successfully suspenseful and eerie. The pathetic fallacy at the very beginning conveys the idea that the story will contain dark or evil connotations. The use of the word, ‘but’ has been purposely selected to show there is more to the situation, implying that it is liable to a twist. The first paragraph has a great ambience of normality across it; this had been done to allow the reader to empathize with the characters, as it has been set in a fairly common area. However, by setting it in a commonplace, such as a home – Jacobs is defying the orthodox Gothic Horror genre setting. Most stories or novels which follow the rules of this genre are set in deserted places or a more enchanted/fictional region.
In addition, the transition between each part of the story shows large changes in mood. After Herbert retires for the night, the second part begins, which has a very customary, “prosaic” mood to it. The contrast of mood between the start of part II and the end of part I is very large and keeps the reader alert. The huge amount of tension built when Herbert gazes into the fire is dropped instantaneously, keeping the interest of the reader. The following day, the mood is very calm and relaxed, the reader may feel as if the mood were too normal, and become suspicious, waiting for some action to occur. Following the Gothic Horror genre, there is a cliché that sunlight has a large impact on the mood of a story, as everything seems more controlled and calm during the day.
Answer:
The author is able to create tension and suspense through many ways in “The Monkey's Paw”. In the opening sentence of the story, we are given a quick description of the surrounding area. In gothic stories, they are usually set in a remote and isolated area, as in “The Monkey's Paw” the main setting is in a remote village where there were only two houses around. “Without, the night was cold and wet,” sets the scene of the story. A gloomy background has been given to set the surrounding area. The weather is similar to the feelings of the main characters.This is a good contrast, as the house seems to have a warm and safe atmosphere inside, even though the cottage is situated in a remote area of the country, with extremely unpleasant and harsh weather. The setting of part I begins with a common to most gothic horror stories. “The night was cold and wet but in the small parlor of a Laburnum villa…” The wet and cold atmosphere has an unpleasant effect on the reader as it makes them immediately feel uneasy about the situation. The use of the word, ‘but’ is used purposely to show there is more to the situation, implying that there might be a twist. The first paragraph has a great mood of routine across it, and this has been done to allow the reader to empathize with the characters, as it has been set in a fairly common area.
In addition, the transition between each part of the story shows large changes in mood. After Herbert retires for the night, the second part begins, which has a very usual, “dull” mood to it. The contrast of mood between the start of part II and the end of part I is very large and keeps the reader alert. The huge amount of tension built when Herbert gazes into the fire is dropped instantly, keeping the interest of the reader. The following day, the mood is very calm and relaxed, the reader may feel as if the mood were too normal, and become suspicious, waiting for some action to occur. Following the Gothic Horror genre, it is common that sunlight has a large impact on the mood of a story, as everything seems more controlled and calm during the day.

Stating that "7,000 people watched the night Frankie Nelson set her 18-hour record" most develops the central idea that the introduction of the bicycle brought with it many changes. indoor track racing was more popular than outdoor racing. female cyclists were more competitive than male cyclists. bicycle racing was a popular sport in the 1880s and 1890s.
Answer:
The statement most develops the central idea that:
D. bicycle racing was a popular sport in the 1880s and 1890s.
Explanation:
American author Sue Macy (born 1954) published "Wheels of Change" in 2011. The book focuses on how bicycles served as an instrument for women to break rules and challenge societal standards and expectations in the past.
The quote we are analyzing here was taken from Chapter 4 of the book. The paragraph as a whole states that indoor racing was popular and that women were very interest in seeing other women race. However, our focus in on this particular sentence:
"7,000 people watched the night Frankie Nelson set her 18-hour record."
The sentence above develops the idea that bicycle racing was a popular sport in the 1880s and 1890s. Seven thousand people is a lot, even for today's standards. That number shows the popularity of the sport. Since the sentence does not include information concerning who was racing or watching the race, nor where the race was taking place, we can safely choose letter D as the best option.

Greed, Fear, Impatience, Ignorance, and Hope will all fight for mental dominance over the speculator.

Which propaganda technique is being used in the following statement? "My opponent is much younger than I, and has not learned to be responsible enough to do this job."
Answer:
Ad hominem.
Explanation:
Propaganda techniques are the devices or techniques used to attack one's opponents. Such techniques are used to influence the readers or listeners, in the hope of appealing to their desires and support.
The given statement is an example of ad hominem because it makes a personal attack on the opponent rather than the argument. The speaker talks of the young age of his opponent, which he states, makes him unsuitable for the job. This argument is based on the capability of the opponent and a personal attack, which makes the whole statement invalid.
Thus, the correct answer is ad hominem.

We should make our function simple and on all important occasions we should remember the suffering humanity, and allot some part of our treasure to charity.

Read the passage and answer the question that follows:
Despite our best efforts as parents, we will always make mistakes in raising our children. It's inevitable. There are so many decisions to be made in any given day, week, month, or year. It's an inhuman task to make all of these decisions correctly. Who would even want to try for perfection?
We shouldn't worry too much, though, because it is precisely our mistakes that teach our children the most about life. Life is full of mistakes, obstacles, and trouble. Shielding our children from these by striving for perfection in our own parenting does them no favors.
Given this, a parent might be tempted to give up trying to make good decisions and simply let the chips fall where they may. Admittedly, that attitude is not without its benefits, but it goes too far in the other direction. Children are much more observant than we think, but often draw the wrong conclusions from what they observe. If we give up trying to make the right decisions, they might get the message that we don't care about their future.
We can take comfort in this much: we teach our children even when we're not trying to. That doesn't mean we should stop trying to do our best, to make the right decisions whenever possible. It just means that we shouldn't beat ourselves up when we make mistakes. Either it won't matter because it's something small, or it just might build some character in our children, a commodity that will serve them well.
