Answers

1 Initial Consonant - jar, juice, horse, bee, suite


2 Initial Consonant - sky, crabs, pneumonia, fly, Britain, tray, choir


3 Initial Consonant - straight, scratch, shrink

One initial consonant: sky, jar, fly, horse, Britain, and scratch. Two initial consonant: crabs, bee, juice, tray.

What is consonant?

A consonant is a speech sound produced by partially or completely blocking the flow of air out of the mouth with the speech organs in linguistics.

Consonants are made by restricting the vocal tract in some way, usually with the lips, tongue, teeth, and/or glottis. An initial consonant is a consonant that is pronounced at the beginning of a word.

Vowels do not function as consonants. There are five vowels in the English language (a, e, i, o, u), and the remaining letters are consonants.

The task specifically requests words with one, two, or three initial consonants, so vowels must be avoided.

Here,

One initial consonant: sky, jar, fly, horse, Britain, and scratch.Two initial consonant: crabs, bee, juice, tray.Three initial consonant: straight, pneumonia, suite, shrink, and choir.

Thus, these are the consonants present.

D. Tiffany should participate more in class: She has some great ideas that would benefit other students.

Answers

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The clauses before and after a colon or semicolon should always be able to stand alone, and D is the only answer that does this.

Answer:

D. Tiffany should participate more in class: She has some great ideas that would benefit other students.

Explanation:

Answer:

The sentence that correctly shows where a colon is needed in the sentence is the following one: Tyffany should participate more in class: She has some great ideas that would benefit other students (D).

Explanation:

A colon means that is to say. The fact is that a colon or a semicolon may be used between independent clauses when the second sentence illustrates, explains or expands on the first sentence.  In this case, the second sentence explains why Tyfanny should participate more in class.

D. The second sentence (She has...) explains the first sentence (Tiffany should...). So the colon should be between the first and second sentence.

Which is the best meaning of the phrase "she’ll not be hit with Cupid’s arrow”?

Answers

Answer:

She does not want to fall in love with anyone.

Explanation:

The phrase 'to be hit with Cupid's arrow' is based on classical mythology. Cupid is the son of Venus and Mercury and he is associated with love and desire. He carries arrows with which he shoots his victims. When a person is hit by an arrow, the person immediately falls in love. Therefore, as the quote states that she will not be hit with an arrow, the suggestion is that she will not fall in love with anyone.


If you were writing about how
de Vaca's experiences with
the Native Americans may
have influenced him to treat
them humanely later in his
life, which passage below
would give good supporting
detail?

Answers

Answer:

- Para 23: "We got to their dwellings, where we saw they had built a hut for us with many fires in it"

Explanation:

As per the question, the 23rd passage would provide the most adequate supporting details to substantiate the claim that 'de Vaca's encounter with the native Americans might be the cause of Vaca's kind and generous treatment of them in his later life.' This is reflected through the descriptions in the passage like 'we got to their dwellings...in it' as it shows that this experience made him understand their life, culture, and values which they offer to others despite being indigenous. Thus, this not only supports but justifies the claim as well. Hence, para 23 is the correct answer.

Read this sentence from the story.


A few days later, I was sitting down with John, one of the executive editors of the newspaper chain, hearing all the daunting details of being a “cub reporter.”


Which earlier part of the story does this sentence refer to?



The narrator is not sure which kind of writer she wants to become.


The narrator interviews for a job for which she is not qualified.


The narrator has a long and challenging job search.


The narrator is panicking during her first day on the job.


The passage prior to the text: ⬇



I was in full-on panic mode. Here I was on my first day as an inexperienced reporter having to cover an important story with little guidance. I was starting to regret my decision to take the job. What was I doing here? I wasn’t a journalism major. I didn’t have a “beat.” I didn’t even know all the rules about dealing with sources and off-the-record information.


The previous spring, I’d taken up my boss on his offer and stayed at my part-time job through the summer after college. He gave me more hours, so I was making more money, but I didn’t yet have the responsibility of a “real” job. I’d been an English major and wanted to be a writer, though I had no idea what kind of writer. I’d taken the summer to think about things and prepare for a fall job search.


By the time I began the search for my first full-time job, the job market was in bad shape. During my first few months looking for a job, I sent out countless resumes and only had one interview. Unfortunately, I was very unqualified for the job at the time. Then a woman I worked with at my part-time job told me about a reporter position opening up at the newspaper chain where her daughter worked. Though I’d never thought about being a reporter, I figured it couldn’t hurt to go on the interview. In addition to interview experience, the opportunity meant I was officially networking. All the job search materials I’d read stressed the importance of networking in finding a job.

Re-read lines 1-29 of "The Wife's Lament." What events led to the speaker's banishment to the forest grove?

Answers

Answer:

The enmities with the enemies of the speaker's husband was what caused her to be banished in the woods.

Explanation:

"The Wife's Lament" is a poem about a lost love, where the speaker laments the separation between herself and her husband. While reading the poem, we can see that the speaker was forced to be banished in a wood that prevents her from seeing her husband again, even though she loves him very much. The poem does not make clear what caused this separation, but we know that this was the result of the enmities created between the speaker's husband and their enemies.
