I MET a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert ... Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage [face] lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which still survive, stamped on these lifeless things.
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal these words appear
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
Which of the following sentences best describes the dramatic irony in the poem?
The traveler knows he will see the statue in the desert.
The traveler knows who the king was.
The audience knows the traveler has seen the statue in the desert
The audience knows the boastful king's power did not last.
The correct answer is D. The audience knows the boastful king's power did not last.
Explanation
Dramatic irony is a literary device that is based on giving the reader information about the story so that he understands the hidden meanings of the story related to the actions of the characters. In addition, the reader understands aspects that the characters themselves are unaware of, creating a feeling of suspense. In the excerpt presented the narrator tells the reader the power of the king will not last, as the narrator says "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains".
According to the above, it can be established that the correct answer is D. The audience knows the boastful king's power did not last.

Rode the six hundred.
Flash'd all their sabres bare,
Flash'd as they turn'd in air
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army while
All the world wonder'd:
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right thro' the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reel'd from the sabre-stroke,
Shatter'd and sunder'd.

Not the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell,
They that had fought so well
Came thro' the jaws of Death,
Back from the mouth of Hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.
When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wonder'd.
Honour the charge they made!
Honour the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred!

THE VOYAGES OF DOCTOR DOLITTLE
By Hugh Lofting
Chapter 1: The Cobbler's Son
My name was Tommy Stubbins, son of Jacob Stubbins, the cobbler of Puddleby-on-the-Marsh; and I was nine and a half years old. At that time Puddleby was only quite a small town. A river ran through the middle of it; and over this river there was a very old stone bridge, called Kingsbridge, which led you from the market-place on one side to the churchyard on the other.
Sailing-ships came up this river from the sea and anchored near the bridge. I used to go down and watch the sailors unloading the ships upon the river-wall. The sailors sang strange songs as they pulled upon the ropes; and I learned these songs by heart. And I would sit on the river-wall with my feet dangling over the water and sing with the men, pretending to myself that I too was a sailor.
For I longed always to sail away with those brave ships when they turned their backs on Puddleby Church and went creeping down the river again, across the wide lonely marshes to the sea. I longed to go with them out into the world to seek my fortune in foreign lands—Africa, India, China and Peru! When they got round the bend in the river and the water was hidden from view, you could still see their huge brown sails towering over the roofs of the town, moving onward slowly—like some gentle giants that walked among the houses without noise. What strange things would they have seen, I wondered, when next they came back to anchor at Kingsbridge! And, dreaming of the lands I had never seen, I'd sit on there, watching till they were out of sight.
Which of the following best summarizes the main point of the plot as presented in the excerpt of "The Cobbler's Son"? (6 points)
Tommy had little hope of escaping his quiet life.
Tommy learned strange songs from sailors in his youth.
Tommy hoped to live a life of adventure in his youth.

Summarize how the English language developed into what it is today.
The English language begins with the Anglo-Saxons. The Romans, who had controlled England for centuries, had withdrawn their troops and most of their colonists by the early 400s. Attacks from the Irish, the Picts from Scotland, the native Britons, and Anglo-Saxons from across the North Sea, plus the deteriorating situation in the rest of the Empire, made the retreat a strategic necessity. As the Romans withdrew, the Britons re-established themselves in the western parts of England, and the Anglo-Saxons invaded and began to settle the eastern parts in the middle 400s. The Britons are the ancestors of the modern day Welsh, as well as the people of Britanny across the English channel. The Anglo-Saxons apparently displaced or absorbed the original Romanized Britons, and created the five kingdoms of Northumbria, Mercia, Kent, East Anglia, Essex, Sussex, and Wessex (see map below). Notice that the last three are actually contractions of East Saxon, South Saxon, and West Saxon, and that the Welsh still refer to the English as Saxons (Saesneg).
Use this but change ur words but this would work
Answer:
The English language is an old language. It is spoken in almost all parts of the world.
In the early times, spoken English evolved around five centuries ago. The language soon became widespread because of the British Empire. The Industrial Revolution also gave rise to the spread of the English language.
Nowadays, globalization has made it easy for almost all human beings to communicate and speak in English. It has become the language of the world. People traveling to all parts of the country speak in English as a medium to translate their native language to others. Thus the English language has developed to be a world language today.

“There is a look about you,” he said. “It lies in your eyes and the mark is on your face. What is it?”
“Would you not grieve too,” I said, “if the woman who gave you birth was no more than a handful of dust?”
“It is not that alone. The hurt is of longer standing. Why do you lie?”
I looked up and his eyes were on me.
Surely, I thought, my mother has told him, for he knows; but as if he guessed my thoughts he shook his head.
“No, I do not know. Tell me.”
I held back. He was a foreigner, and although I no longer stood in awe of him, still the secret had been long locked up in my breast and would not come out easily. “I have no sons,” I said at last, heavily. “Only one child, a girl."

Explanation:
Mark me as brainiest
The statement is - "A fallacy that makes a claim that is supported with only one or two weak examples is called straw man" is true.
What is claim ?Claim statements include claims describing what is true or good, as well as comments about what must be done or recognized. Claims may be challenged. "A liberal arts education prepares students best," yet "I didn't appreciate the book" does not.
A claim is a statement made regarding one subject, such as a person or organization, concerning another subject. A claim is a contentious assertion made by an author in a text or theoretical framework in order for the reader to embrace it, which not everyone does.
A straw man fallacy occurs in that whenever someone takes another person's actual argument, distorts or amplifies it in some manner, and then criticizes the severe distortion as if it were the original position. Therefore, it can be concluded that the above statement is true.

Explanation:
The underlined part of the sentence is a restrictive clause. Thus, the correct option is C.
What is a restrictive clause?A restrictive clause is a type of subordinate clause that provides essential information to the sentence, without which the meaning of the sentence would be unclear or incomplete. It is also known as an essential clause.
A restrictive clause is usually introduced by a relative pronoun, such as "who," "whom," "that," "which," or "whose," and it modifies the noun or pronoun that immediately precedes it in the sentence.
It is important to note that a restrictive clause is not set off by commas, as it is an essential part of the sentence. In contrast, a non-restrictive clause, which provides additional, non-essential information to the sentence, is set off by commas.

Explain how form Impacts meaning in the poem "Caged Bird" by Maya Angelou.
Answer:
Maya Angelou does not let the standard meter, rhyme, and pase to control her poetry. She is the one who determines the structure or the lack of it and uses form to achieve what she wants. The sound, tempo, rhythm, and the rhyme are in service of each line. The poem “Caged Bird” is a great example of unstructured verse. The number of beats per line differs. The number of lines in each stanza changes as well. In addition, she uses the intermittent stanza as well. She also uses sporadic rhyme. The repetition of the third stanza serves to give some predictability to the poem and it draws the reader to participate with caged bird. Other parts of the poem are unpredictable. The joy of the free bird makes it possible for the reader understand the tragic story of the oppressed.In "Caged Bird" by Maya Angelou, the free bird is an extended metaphor for a free person, and the caged bird is an extended metaphor for an oppressed person. Angelou creates a comparison between the two birds to make her point. For example, a free bird that "leaps on the back of the wind" is a metaphor for being free to do anything, while a caged bird with clipped wings and tied feet is a metaphor for being kept from doing most things. Angelou alternates the focus of the stanzas between the free bird and the caged bird. This emphasizes the contrast between the two and highlights the emotions her extended metaphors convey.
