The article claims that reading fiction makes readers try to understand the characters' problems they face and helps readers better understand people in real life.
Therefore, we can say that the second answer option is the correct answer.
In the article "Health Benefits of Reading, Writing, Are Not Just for Patients" we present the following ideas:
Reading is extremely important for people's mental health.This is because reading distracts them, keeps the mind busy, stimulates reasoning, and exercises the brain.Reading fiction is just as important as reading nonfiction.This is because reading fiction allows people to stimulate their imagination and have contact with other worlds and different characters.When reading fiction, readers seek to understand a character's actions and problems.This makes readers more empathic, tolerant and sociable.Thus, we can understand that in addition to exercising and improving mental health, reading allows for a better social life for readers, as they are able to understand people in real life, in a more sensitive and comprehensive way.

Which sentence shows that the author is using first-person point of view?
It was a lazy Sunday afternoon. The sun was blazing over the roof, baking us all like cookies in an oven. I was lying on the sofa reading an old book. I was home alone because my mom had gone to her friend's wedding. She had asked me to come along. But who would want to step out in the scorching heat? The only activity worth doing on a hot afternoon is to read a good book while sipping lemonade. I had just begun to enjoy the book when there was loud knock on the front door. I looked up and wondered if it were a robber, a salesperson, or just the next-door lady looking for sugar. Our neighbors were funny people. They would run out of things at the weirdest hours. I put my book away and walked to the door.

Read the passage from chapter 7 of Animal Farm.
If she [Clover] could have spoken her thoughts, it would have been to say that this was not what they had aimed at when they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race. These scenes of terror and slaughter were not what they had looked forward to on that night when old Major first stirred them to rebellion. If she herself had had any picture of the future, it had been of a society of animals set free from hunger and the whip, all equal, each working according to his capacity, the strong protecting the weak, as she had protected the lost brood of ducklings with her foreleg on the night of Major's speech. Instead—she did not know why—they had come to a time when no one dared speak his mind, when fierce, growling dogs roamed everywhere, and when you had to watch your comrades torn to pieces after confessing to shocking crimes.

Answer:

3. We all want to be happy, but suffering is part of being human.
4. I need to sell some furniture; I will put an ad on Craig's List.

9. I went to the supermarket, but I didn't buy milk.
10. My mother brought the chicken; My uncle brought the dessert.
Explanation:
A clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb. An independent clause can stand on its own. In other words, it makes sense when we read it, and we do not need extra information to comprehend the clause's meaning.
A sentence can have one independent clause or more than one. In the cases where a sentence has more than one independent clause, we can connect them with commas and the FANBOYS or semicolons.
FANBOYS stand for: for (F), and (A), but (B), or (O), yet (Y), so (S). Sentences 1, 2,3,6, and 8 have a FANBOY, so we need to write a comma before them.
On the other hand, sentences number 4 and 7 connect the two independent clauses with a semicolon (;), Sentence 4 is not contrasting or adding two things as the FANBOYS do, but sentence number 7 has the word "however." We use "however" to contrast or compare the clauses. When we use it, we have to write a semicolon or a colon before it and a comma afterward.
Lastly, we have sentence 5, where we added a period to punctuate the second independent clause; however, we could have used a semicolon to show the connection between the two clauses.
In sentence number 9, we link the two independent clauses with the comma and FANBOY but. The two independent clauses are: I went to the supermarket. I didn't buy milk.
In sentence number 10, the two independent clauses are: My mother brought the chicken. My uncle brought the dessert.
We can see that clauses in sentences 9 and 10 have a subject and a verb, and they stand on their own.

Answer:
The literary elements the authors use to support the central idea of women autonomy is:
B. Ibsen uses dialogue to build conflict between characters, while Woolf alludes to historical figures to make her point.
Explanation:
Henrik Ibsen was a Norwegian playwright who lived from 1828 to 1906. He is considered the father of the Modern Theater. His play "A Doll's House" caused a stir when it was first performed in 1879.
The passage from the play "A Doll's House" uses dialogue to show that Nora, the main character, is finally becoming an autonomous, free woman. She has lived for years with a sexist, patronizing husband. Now, she is choosing to leave him and to not care about how society will condemn her.
Virginia Woolf was a British author who lived from 1882 to 1941. In "A Room of One's Own," she discusses how literature has been dominated by men throughout the ages and how women need their space, be it physical or psychological.
In the passage, Woolf alludes to different authors. She discusses how women had to hide behind male names in order to publish, and how that was never enough.

Prepare a speech about cultural identity using what you've learned from the short
story "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker.
Answer:
my previous draft which may give you a start
Hello, my name is ______, and today I'll be discussing Cultural Identity Swapping. Dee is a character in the short story "Everyday Use," and if you haven't read it yet, I recommend that you do so in order to gain a better understanding of culture and identity swap. Her name, Dee, represents a part of her ancestors' culture. She chose to change her name and culture so that no one would recognize her as an African American slave's child. She wanted to change her culture, so I looked into how simple it is to change one's cultural identity, and let me tell you, it's not easy. “Changing your cultural identity is harder than you think,” according to this website article. It's like starting a new school and finding out that no one likes you, so you can't make any new friends. All you have to do is keep your head down and avoid learning new things or making new friends. It's the same with culture; you try to change your cultural identity, but your cultural identity comes from your parents or ancestors, so it's not easy.” That said a lot to me. It demonstrates to me that you live your entire life with your cultural identity; you can change your normal identity, but when it comes to your culture, things go downhill quickly. It's a lot more difficult to work with team and traditions and activities than it was when your parents did so. entire culture just by changing her name. Now, you might think she got off easy, and I agree, but it was a symbol of her ancestry and all of that stuff that was passed down, so I imagine it was difficult to get over. At the end of the day, everyone is a completely different person. Thank you for taking the time to listen.
