What does Dawson rubbing his hands on his pants suggest about how he is feeling?
Debate Day
The sound of shuffling papers and soft murmurs filled the
brightly lit meeting room. The day Dawson had been eagerly
preparing for with his debate team had arrived. It had been
three months of long nights studying and practicing.
He glanced over at the other team who were speaking softly to
each other in a huddle. "Why do they seem so calm and
collected?" he muttered to himself.
He suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness emerge in the pit
of his stomach, and he looked to see if he could gauge how his
team was feeling
"Are you doing alright, Dawson?" his teammate Elaine asked.
"Ready for this?"
Dawson nodded his head quickly in reply.
The moderator made a brief announcement and Dawson
approached the podium, rubbing the palms of his hands on his
pant legs
After two hours of intense debate rounds, one of the judges
stood to announce the winner. Dawson's team erupted in
cheers and began giving each other high fives. Dawson could
not hide his relief and elation
OA. It suggests he is very nervous as he approaches the podium.
OB. It suggests he likes to warm up before he speaks
OC It suggests he has not prepared well for the debate.
OD. It suggests he is excited about his opportunity to speak.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

OA. It suggests he is very nervous as he approaches the podium.

Explanation:

In the given scenario, the narrator mentions how Dawson was "rubbing the palms of his hands on his pant legs." This shows his nervousness because normally, rubbing of palms together is a sign of one's nervousness.

Moreover, the line "[H]e suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness emerge in the pit of his stomach" also reveals his 'nervous' state. He appeared uneasy, which is further clarified by the last line "Dawson could not hide his relief and elation."

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

EXERCISE VII: Read the passage and do the tasks below. Choose no more than THREE WORDS from the reading text that have the same meaning as the given definition to fill in each blank.

While couples without a clear or equal chore division may encounter quarrels over who does what, a recent survey finds the divorce rate among couples sharing chores equally is about fifty percent higher than those in which wives do more or most of the housework, which can be a slap in the face for gender equality.

The researchers explain that modern couples organize their marriage and work out the tasks and duties, which may gradually turn their marriage into a business or contractual relationship. The woman may gradually feel less needed or happy and what's worse is that no one would care to help if something is not among their assigned chores. That seems to encourage conflicts rather than conflict resolution skills.

On the contrary, in families without equal task division women tend to be responsible for more chores than men. While they believe they can exchange their roles for their husbands', many women believe they are most naturally suited for certain tasks. They simply enjoy being involved in their children's activities, which means more chores for them. This group of women also report more marital satisfaction.

The survey also aimed to find out whether women's were happier if men shared more of the burden. In fact, they find that men report fewer family conflicts and greater well-being while women appear to be largely unmoved. This may be partly because they feel less guilty or simply learn how to have a quiet life.

What is the effect of the word choice in the phrase “when you are set down at random in that street in the middle of an inky black night” in Paragraph 2 of the passage?

A. It gives the paragraph a humorous tone.

B. It contrasts the description of the Mississippi River.

C. It creates a strong, relatable image.

D. It sets a dark, ominous mood.

The passage:

One cannot easily realize what a tremendous thing it is to know every trivial detail of twelve hundred miles of river and know it with absolute exactness. If you will take the longest street in New York and travel up and down it, conning its features patiently until you know every house and window and lamppost and big and little sign by heart, and know them so accurately that you can instantly name the one you are abreast of when you are set down at random in that street in the middle of an inky black night, you will then have a tolerable notion of the amount and the exactness of a pilot's knowledge who carries the Mississippi River in his head.

Explanation:

This province produces great quantities of excellent white incense, and also dates in great abundance. No grain is grown here except rice, and not much of that; but it is imported from abroad at a big profit. Fish is plentiful, notably tunnies of large size, which are so abundant that two of them can be bought for a Venetian groat. The staple diet consists of rice, meat, and fish. . . . As for the incense of which I have spoken, which grows here in such profusion, the lord buys it for 10 gold bezants a cantar and then sells it to foreign merchants and others for 40 bezants a cantar. The lord of Shihr does this on behalf of the sultan of the province of Aden. For the sultan of Aden has incense bought up throughout his dominions at the price of 10 bezants and afterwards sold at 40 from which he derives an immense profit.

Which detail best indicates the author's opinion of the incense that this province produces?

The author notes that the incense is produced in "great quantities."
The author uses the phrase "immense profit" to describe the value of the incense.
The author includes the detail that the lord "sells it to foreign merchants."
The author uses the word "excellent" to describe the incense grown in the province.

Answers

It can be inferred that the detail that best indicates the author's opinion of the incense that this province produces is: "The author notes that the incense is produced in "great quantities." (Option A)

What is an inference?

When a conclusion is reached after the rational examination of the facts from a text, the conclusion is called an inference.

Which detail shows a foreshadowing structure in the text?
A Day's Lodging
by Jack London (adapted excerpt)
He urged the dogs to their work again. He had travelled on the frozen surface of a great river. Behind him it stretched away in a mighty curve of many miles, losing itself in
a fantastic jumble of mountains, snow-covered and silent. Ahead of him the river split into many channels to accommodate the freight of islands it carried on its breast.
These islands were silent and white; no animals nor humming insects broke the silence; no birds flew in the chill air. There was no sound of man, nor mark of the
handiwork of man---the world slept.
John Messner seemed succumbing to the apathy of it all as the frost was benumbing his spirit. He plodded on with bowed head, unobservant, mechanically rubbing nose
and cheeks, and batting his steering hand against the gee-pole in the straight trail-stretches. But the dogs were observant, and suddenly they stopped, turning their heads
and looking back at their master out of eyes that were wistful and questioning. Their eyelashes were frosted white, as were their muzzles, and they had all the seeming of
decrepit old age, what of the frost-rime and exhaustion.

Answers

Answer:

The correct text in the passage which details a foreshadowing structure is

"There was no sound of man, nor a mark of the handiwork of man---the world slept."

Explanation:

Foreshadowing in literature refers to the hint at an impending problem, happenstance, or sudden change or turn of events.

Writers usually achieve this via the dialogue between characters', comments by the narrator which. Sometimes the narrator can make reference to a prophecy. A prophecy can also be put forward using one of the characters.

In this case, the foreshadowing came via the narrator.

Notice from the excerpt that it starts by saying "he (John Messner) urged the dogs to their work again.

He (the traveler, John Mesner) must have been in transit from to or from the lodging, using a sled driven by dogs for this was hinted at in the opening sentence of the excerpt.

Fast forward to sentence 6, the narrator states "There was no sound of man, no mark of the handiwork of man---the world slept."

If there was no sound of a man... that must have included the traveler either at the time when the observation was made or much later in the actual occurrence when the dogs, observant, suddenly stopped, turning heads and looked back at their masters mournfully. [See sentence 9]

characterization

Explanation:

i think so

Answer:

Characterization....

Read an excerpt from "Television and the Public Interest" and answer the question. The speech was delivered by Newton N. Minow, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, to the nation’s television executives in 1961.

[1] … But when television is bad, nothing is worse. I invite each of you to sit down in front of your television set when your station goes on the air and stay there, for a day, without a book, without a magazine, without a newspaper, without a profit and loss sheet or a rating book to distract you. Keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that what you will observe is a vast wasteland.

[2] You will see a procession of game shows, formula comedies about totally unbelievable families, blood and thunder, mayhem, violence, sadism, murder, western bad men, western good men, private eyes, gangsters, more violence, and cartoons. And endlessly, commercials—many screaming, cajoling, and offending. And most of all, boredom. True, you'll see a few things you will enjoy. But they will be very, very few. And if you think I exaggerate, I only ask you to try it.

[3] Is there one person in this room who claims that broadcasting can't do better? Well a glance at next season's proposed programming can give us little heart. Of 73 and 1/2 hours of prime evening time, the networks have tentatively scheduled 59 hours of categories of action-adventure, situation comedy, variety, quiz, and movies. Is there one network president in this room who claims he can't do better?

[4] The best estimates indicate that during the hours of 5 to 6 P.M. sixty percent of your audience is composed of children under twelve. And most young children today, believe it or not, spend as much time watching television as they do in the schoolroom. I repeat—let that sink in, ladies and gentlemen—most young children today spend as much time watching television as they do in the schoolroom. It used to be said that there were three great influences on a child: home, school, and church. Today, there is a fourth great influence, and you ladies and gentlemen in this room control it.

[5] If parents, teachers, and ministers conducted their responsibilities by following the ratings, children would have a steady diet of ice cream, school holidays, and no Sunday school. What about your responsibilities? Is there no room on television to teach, to inform, to uplift, to stretch, to enlarge the capacities of our children? Is there no room for programs deepening their understanding of children in other lands? There are some fine children's shows, but they are drowned out in the massive doses of cartoons, violence, and more violence. Must these be your trademarks? Search your consciences and see if you cannot offer more to your young beneficiaries whose future you guide so many hours each and every day …

[6] You must provide a wider range of choices, more diversity, more alternatives. It is not enough to cater to the nation's whims; you must also serve the nation's needs. And I would add this: that if some of you persist in a relentless search for the highest rating and the lowest common denominator, you may very well lose your audience. Because … the people are wise, wiser than some of the broadcasters—and politicians—think.

Which two sentences provide evidence that what is on television is a "vast wasteland"?

"You will see a procession of game shows … blood and thunder, mayhem, violence, sadism, murder … private eyes, gangsters, more violence, and cartoons." (paragraph 2)
"I repeat—let that sink in, ladies and gentlemen—most young children today spend as much time watching television as they do in the schoolroom." (paragraph 4)
"There are some fine children's shows, but they are drowned out in the massive doses of cartoons, violence, and more violence." (paragraph 5)
"Search your consciences and see if you cannot offer more to your young beneficiaries whose future you guide so many hours each and every day …" (paragraph 5)
"And I would add this: that if some of you persist in a relentless search for the highest rating and the lowest common denominator, you may very well lose your audience." (paragraph 6)
