Chinese scholars relate that ancient Chinese communities suffered from low productivity and technology. These communities relied on the help of animals, and so they naturally revered animals and began to worship them. They created the twelve animal signs of the Chinese zodiac, called the sheng xiao. These animals are, in order, the rat, the ox, the tiger, the rabbit, the dragon, the snake, the horse, the ram, the monkey, the rooster, the dog, and the pig. The animals do not correspond to any astrological signs in the sky; however, they are used to divide and record time.
The twelve selected animals had important parts in the lives of the ancient Chinese. The first category of animals included tamed and domesticated livestock, such as the ox, ram, horse, pig, dog, and rooster. To the ancient Chinese, these six animals symbolized a large family. They gave good luck and well-being. The second group included wild animals that the ancient Chinese respected and feared, such as the tiger, snake, rabbit, monkey, and rat. Of these animals, the tiger was most respected for its cunning and power. The snake was viewed as wise. The rabbit was likable, and the monkey was playful. The rat was considered to be the trickster. Finally, the dragon was in a category entirely by itself as a mythical beast. The ancient Chinese accounted the dragon as the wealthiest and wisest of all. Because of this, the dragon was the most revered of all other animals.

Which of the following is the best summary of this article?
A. Some Chinese scholars say ancient communities had low productivity.
B. The Chinese calendar uses a cycle of twelve animal signs.
C. The ancient Chinese had a close relationship with animals.
D. Chinese animals can be classified in three categories

Answers

Answer:

It hasn’t snowed in ages, well not that it matters since I’ll always be inside this prison. Looking out the window, I see Scout and Jem making of what seems a snowman… I wish I could help, but the only thing I can do is share my worthless treasures with them. Now I can’t even do that since Nathan decided to block the tree knothole up.  

As I lay in bed, I hear chaos on the street; I wonder if Scouts in trouble. “Why don’t they hurry, why don’t they hurry…” I heard Jem say. Hurry what? Whats happening? I take a step out, the cold night engulfs me. Looking out, I see one of the houses on fire; I sure wish I could help, but everyone would probably be scared of me. It really is cold, maybe I should get a blanket for Scout, its not healthy for her to be out here in the cold. I rush inside and grab my brown woolen blanket. I see Scout doing a little dance to keep warm and try to hold in a giggle. Silently walking up to her, I gently slip the blanket on and creep back inside. She didn’t even notice a thing.

Ned was to be at the central companionway with Conseil while he told Aronnax to wait in the library until he receives a signal from Ned

Explanation:

Ned's plan once the Nautilus had entered the Mediterranean was to use the life boat to escape.His plan was that they would escape when the Captain was in bed. Ned was to be at the central companionway with Conseil while he told Aronnax to wait in the library until he receives a signal from Ned. Ned had taken a monkey wrench with which he was going to unscrew the nuts bolting the life boat, which he knew how to operate, to the Nautilus. The action was meant to propel them to reach the surface of the water fast without alerting anyoneExplanation:In Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea Ned explained how they were to escape from the submarine in the lines:"In that case, I should seek to make myself master of the pinnace. I know how it is worked. We must get inside, and the bolts once drawn, we shall come to the surface of the water, without even the pilot, who is in the bows, perceiving our flight."However his plan to escape the Nautilus while in the Mediterranean was made impossible, as it went entirely too fast the entire time it was there.

Read "Not by Math Alone,” by Sandra Day O’Connor and Roy Romer. In a well-organized essay, analyze the rhetorical strategies the writers use to achieve their purpose. Is their argument persuasive?

Answers

Answer:

The article "Not by Math Alone" written by Sandra Day O’Connor and Roy Romer explains how American schools are failing when talking and teaching about government and how the political system works.

First, the writers give statistics to prove that high school students do not know much about the political system and democracy and then they explain how important it is for the country to have citizens that are aware of politics and that are interested in democracy, whether their future careers are related to politics or not.

I believe their arguments are persuasive because they give statistics as proof and also because having citizens that know how their country work and how politics affects them is always a good thing.

Read the excerpts from Queen Elizabeth's speeches. Excerpts from Queen Elizabeth I speeches. The first is from her Address to the Troops at Tilbury. The second is from her Response to Parliament's Request That She Marry. How does the rhetorical appeal used in these excerpts from Queen Elizabeth's Address to the Troops at Tilbury and Response to Parliament's Request That She Marry compare? Both use an appeal to logos by providing a reason to support her purpose. Both use an appeal to ethos by providing a reason why she should be trusted. Both use an appeal to logos by encouraging her audience to show strength. Both use an appeal to ethos by listing credentials to support her credibility.

Answers

Answer:

Both use an appeal to logos by providing a reason to support her purpose.

Explanation:

Queen Elizabeth, I had been the monarch of the British throne without any husband or even a legitimate heir to succeed her to the throne. Not only that, she was a woman and these issues would crop up as a national security question for her enemies or even subjects.

But in both speeches, she made an appeal to logic by asserting her capability to be not only the leader of the kingdom but also as a woman and without a husband. She presents herself as a strong leader and fully aware and capable of leading the nation even during wars. In her response to the marriage issue, she replied, "I will never in that matter conclude anything that shall be prejudicial to the realm, for the weal, good and safety whereof I will never shun to spend my life." And in the speech to the Tilbury troops, she declared, "I know I have the body of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too."

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.

Answer:

A) Both use an appeal to logos by providing a reason to support her purpose

Read the excerpt from Heart of a Samurai and then answer the question.

Eleven eyes. When at last he dared to look up, what he noticed was their eyes. Each pair a different color: green as a stormy sea, blue as the sky, black as night, or brown as his own. One man had only one eye, and that one as gray as a cloudy day. The other eye was covered with a patch.

There did not seem to be any tails, horns, or fangs among them. There were some alarmingly hairy faces and plenty of big noses, though!

Six big noses, in fact: one long and hooked, two long and straight, one squashed and wide, one turned up at the end, and another as big and red as a radish.

Based on this excerpt, what can readers infer about the stories the fishermen were told about the barbarians

The stories are completely true.

The stories lack detail.

The stories are completely false.

The stories are exaggerations

Answer:

The stories are exaggerations

Explanation:

According to the excerpt from Heart of a Samurai, the narrator uses hyperbole to describe the barbarians, according to the fishermen. The fishermen say that the barbarians had eleven eyes, with each eye having a different color, six big noses of different sizes and shapes, amongst others

Therefore, based on this excerpt, what the readers can infer about the stories the fishermen were told about the barbarians is that the stories are exaggerations

Most public library offer free Internet access to patrons.

Answers

Answer:

I believe the answer is D

The statement about performing Internet research which is true is: B. Never use your smart phone for research because of the many distracting apps on it.

A research can be defined as a systematic investigation or careful consideration of study with respect to a particular problem using scientific methods such as collection of data, documenting critical information, analysis of data, and the establishment of facts in order to reach new conclusions.

In English literature, there are different types of research and these include;

Applied research.Experimental research.Qualitative research.Theoretical research.Exploratory research.Explanatory research.Quantitative research.Descriptive research.

An internet research can be defined as a research methodology that typically involves gathering or collecting data (information) through the world wide web (WWW) such as blogs, social media networks, online journals, online articles, etc.

Hence, it is very important that you conduct an internet research by using a computer rather than on a smartphone because of the distractions that could be caused by the different software applications found on your smartphone.

In conclusion, when performing an internet research you shouldn't use a smartphone so as to avoid distractions from the many software applications installed on it.
