Which four phrases from Robert Stawell Ball's "Great Astronomers" convey a commendable tone toward Ptolemy's work?
A. so far as his individual is concerned
B. greatest figure in ancient astronomy
C. gathered up the wisdom
D. illuminated it with his theories
E. astonishing verisimilitude to the actual facts
Answer:
The four phrases which convey a commendable tone are:
B. greatest figure in ancient astronomy
C. gathered up the wisdom
D. illuminated it with his theories
E. astonishing verisimilitude to the actual fact
Explanation:
Robert Stawell Ball (1840-1913) was an Irish astronomer who, in the excerpt we are analyzing here, is talking about another astronomer, Ptolemy (100 CE-170 CE). Ptolemy was Egyptian of Greek descent. Besides being an astronomer, he was also a geographer and a mathematician.
The adjective "commendable" refers to something or someone that deserves to be praised. If we are looking for phrases with a commendable tone, we are looking for phrases that praise someone. In that case, it is easy to see that phrases B, C, D, and E are the correct ones. The word choice - "greatest", "wisdom", "illuminated", "astonishing verisimilitude" - reveals the favorable opinion Ball has of Ptolemy's work.
How does the book “After the First Death” have the theme innocence?
I have been a nurse for twenty years. In that time, I have seen a great number of patients suffer because they did not have health insurance. One of the worst cases was a young mother of two who was diagnosed with early stage skin cancer. Because she could not afford treatment, the cancer spread from her skin to other parts of her body. By the time I saw her for the first time, the cancer had reached her brain, and she could no longer be helped. This sort of thing should not happen to anyone. A strong universal health care system could prevent instances like this from occurring.

logos, an appeal based on logic
ethos, an appeal based on the author’s character
pathos, an appeal based on emotion
no rhetorical appeal is used
Answer:

Second one pathos

What is Swift making a satirical statement about?
A. Society's attempt to address poverty
B. Society's denial of poverty
C. Society's indifference to poverty
D. Society's embarrassment about poverty
Swift is satirizing society's disregard towards poverty. Therefore, option C is correct.
Jonathan Swift criticizes the government's indifference for the needs of the poor and offers a satirical and implausible remedy that entails using and digesting newborns to restore balance and order.
The "Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift is a satirical and periodic work that fits into a particular literary subgenre. The title itself is a parody on the state of society at the time, and it also critiques the kings, the court, the constitution, the liberal political parties, and the conservatives while contemplating the social question of the country.
Swift employs sarcasm, sadness, poverty, infant cannibalism, and the artistic device of euphemism in this work to demonstrate to the reader the subject of the suffering of the human being at that time.

At the end of A Midsummer Night's Dream, couples are paired-off. Match each
woman with her mate at the end of the play.
You may refer back to the play, if needed.
Demetrius
1. Hermia
Lysander
2. Helena
3. Titania
Oberon
Answer:
1. Hermia → Lysander
2. Helena → Demetrius
3. Titania → Oberon
Explanation:
The above is correct. I have been able to match each woman with her mate at the end of the play.
Lysander was mistaken to be Demetrius and was placed under Puck's spell which led him to fall in love with Helena. But eventually, the spell over Lysander was reversed and Lysander finally marries Hermia at the end.
Also, Demetrius and Helena ended up marrying each other. Demetrius later said that he wasn't in love with Hermia but with Helena.
Titania is the wife of Oberon.
"A Midsummer Night's Dream" is a play written by William Shakespeare.

how can you tell that Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy based on the plot and character information the prologue contains?
Answer:
the prologue helps discern the play is a tragedy because:
1 ) it uses the phrase "star crossed lovers" which literally means lovers whose love is agianst the stars. This tells the audience that people and/or situation does not favour these lovers.
2) a tragedy is truly tragic if it doesn't start of as bad. With the introduction of romance followed immediately by the prediction of their death.
3) another element of a true tragedy is reversal of fortunes after the protagonists' demise or downfall. We were informed about the feud between their famillies, which must hav been why they were star crossed lovers, and the fact that the famillies feud was put to an end by their children's death tells us the play is a tragedy.

my experience in a city
Answer:
And since you are asking, what I find frustrating at City
Well first of all, I always try my best to stay positive and not to hold any grudges. With that being said, I occasionally run into some frustrations at work.
• Big Picture
Looking at a larger picture, sometimes I find it frustrating that I don’t have someone that I can really share my excitement with or get advice from. I know this is silly frustration, but I am currently the only marketing individual so when I am talking about marketing ideas, I never know who to talk to. I know Roger is my supervisor, but he is also the President of the company so I assume he has a lot more pressing topics to discuss than to hear all I have to say (sometimes I can get rambling and I don’t want to waste anyone’s time). So I occasionally mix it up and I’ll talk to Cara, Melissa, Amanda, etc. That is probably one of the most frustrating things. I like collaborating and I honestly would rather have short 15 min marketing meetings every week instead of having 1 larger marketing meeting once a month. It would save me more time and make me more efficient. I would rather do small steps every week instead of doing all of the steps and finding out that no one liked it or finding out we are not all on the same page. Also meeting more frequently would help me a lot because I hate running into a question and just having to write it down for the marketing meeting two weeks away. In a perfect world, if I had a question I would love to just

What is a satirical understatement?
-A powerful message conveyed with weak wording
-A powerful message conveyed with strong wording
-An unimportant message conveyed with weak wording
-An unimportant message conveyed with strong wording
Answer:
-A powerful message conveyed with weak wording.
Explanation:
Satire is the use of irony or ridicule to talk about something significant or important. And an understatement is when something important is made to appear less important, making it seem less important than it really is.
When a powerful message is conveyed by using weak words, this is known as a satirical understatement. It is satirical when the message is powerful but then the understatement is when the words used are weak, which makes the message less powerful, thus, understating it.
Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
