In which sentence is the action arrow pointing in the correct direction?
A.
<–––––
Juan ran down the driveway so that he would not be late for the bus.
B.
––––––>
Juan ran down the driveway so that he would not be late for the bus.
Answer:
B.
––––––>
Juan ran down the driveway so that he would not be late for the bus.
Explanation:
Juan ran down the driveway so that he would not be late for the bus. The arrow pointing to the right would be more probable than an arrow pointing to the left since the road (in normal circumstances) have the right lane going forward while the left lane is in the opposite direction.
––––––> juan ran down the driveway so that he would not be late for the bus.
The sentence that is likely to point to the right direction is the second one. This is because the arrow describes a movement from the left to the right. This is the most common way in which cars move down the road. It is also the most intuitive direction for people as we tend to read (in English) from the left to the right.

Answer: THERE IS NOTHING GREATER THAN MUSIC
WHAT WOULD THE WORLD BE WITHOUT MUSIC
The world would be a very quiet place. Music is in many ways the fabric of our lives and the definition of society. It is a reminder of how things once were, an indication of how things are, and a view of where society is headed. Music is a direct reflection of the picture of society. Music can be a way to deliver messages, a poetic medium, a fine art, or nothing more than a source of entertainment. No matter what it is used for, music is the perfect art and our lives would be that much less complete without it that life as we know it would not at all be the same without music. Music is the perfect art. It has movement, because it progresses over a set period of time. However, music does not restrict the audience in the way that movies or graphic art does. The listener can create whatever image she or he wants to when listening to music. It is an art that appeals to the conscious mind, but the best music also appeals to the subconscious. No thought is required to enjoy good music, though it is often thought-inspiring. Instrumental music does not bind the listener into a fixed template in the way that literature and poetry do: the reaction to music is different from person to person Music with lyrics is often referred to as “words set to music.” This is not always the case. However, they restrict the images of the musical work in the same way that prose and poetry limit their subject. Whether instrumental or lyrical, music comes from the people and can enlighten us all. It was during the 1960s that the social revolution and the struggles for civil rights inspired such musicians as Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin and Joan Baez to write songs of protest. In turn, the music of these artists, and many others, influenced the younger generations and spread the word of the revolution. Without music, many teenagers of the time would not have been given the influence of the time or its associated mentality. Music was, and continues to be, a kind of social education to the younger generation. Teenagers turn to popular music for their philosophies and get a sense of their place in the world. In fact, cliques of young people are often defined by the music they listen to: “punks” listen to punk rock and heavy metal; “nerds” are reputed to listen to classical music; the “in” crowd listens to the latest material alternative music has to offer; the “loners” listen to obscure pop artists or classic rock. Youth culture would be much less vivid than it is if the world had no music. Generations would not be sparked to action without music. The war drums of primitive peoples were a kind of music. It was they that stirred the Cavemen and the Vikings to participate in decade-long wars. Music's social influence is ever-present. Our society is shaped by it. Not only is music the chisel of society; it is a constant thread that runs through nature. Music is everywhere: the sound of falling water, the rustle of leaves underfoot, the call of wild birds even the sound of rush-hour traffic is a kind of music. The common definition of music is “a series of pitches and rhythms that have an overall coherence.” This definition is limited to man-made music. For humans to create music is inevitable. It is as natural as thought. Therefore, the idea of a world without music is highly hypothetical. One would sooner consider a life without experiences or a year without days. A day in a world without music might proceed like this: One would awaken to the sound of a radio announcer speaking about politics. On the way to work, the radio show would consist of interviews with famous personalities. The work day would be terribly boring, since the office would not have any decorations (these would have been made by artists who had been influenced by music). This “world without music” seems to have incoherence's and cracks in it. It does not make sense and does not quite explain itself. Music is essential for the world to even make sense. It is as fundamentally inherent as gravity is in the universe. Any attempt to restrict or control music, such as is made in communist politics, is both vain and unrealistic. One cannot challenge the broadloom of the universe when making political policies! The history of human musicians is rich, and has many fine people lining its ranks. Music has changed the artistic and non-artistic world immeasurably, such that a world without music is nothing more than a terrifying fantasy. A world without music would be a quiet place indeed.

Which is an example of personification in the excerpt? The sword has magical qualities. The lizard is frightened of the sword. The lizard uses a sword to cut crops. The sword is sharp enough to cut crops.
Excerpt:
"Bru-h Lizard and Bru-h Rabbit” from The People Could Fly.

Answer:

Explanation:
A figures of speech is also referred to as figurative language and it can be defined as a deliberate and specific construction or use of language by writers, authors or speakers to create a special effect in their speech or literary work (write-ups).
In English literature, the main purpose of the figures of speech (figurative language) is to convey more information and enable the readers or listeners have a deeper understanding of a literary work. Some examples of the figures of speech (figurative language) used in literature are simile, paradox, metaphor, apostrophe, hyperbole, personification, etc.
Personification involves intentionally attributing life, human characteristics (qualities) or feelings and emotions to animate and inanimate objects i.e non-living things.
An example of personification in the excerpt above is, The lizard uses a sword to cut crops. It's practically impossible for a lizard or any other animal to use a sword in cutting crops because they lack the sense, ability and composure to do so.

Modal verbs to express certainty and
possibility
1,Deborah is looking a bit tired. Perhaps she’s working
too hard.
2.He never goes on holiday. I don’t suppose he earns
much.
I looked this question up and, in one of the sites where I found it, each number had two answer choices. Just in case, I will use them here.
1.
A. She may / might / could be working too hard.
B. She must be working too hard.
2.
A. He must not earn very much.
B. He may not / might not earn very much.
Answer:
The answers are:
1. A. She may / might / could be working too hard.
2. B. He may not / might not earn very much.
Explanation:
The modal verbs "may", "might" and "could" are used to express possibility. Therefore, they do not convey much certainty, that is, the speaker is not 100% sure of what he / she is saying, but he / she knows there is a possibility of being right.
That is why those verbs are the best ones to complete the sentences above. In both cases, the speaker is supposing, assuming something. In the first sentence, the speaker believes it is possible that Deborah is tired because she is working too hard. In the second one, the speaker assumes "he" is likely to not earn much because he never goes on holiday.
Note: "Could" is also used to express ability in some cases.
Many things must be done before a shuttle can launch. The shuttle has many parts. They are made in different places in the United States. The finished parts are sent to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The pieces of the shuttle go to the Vehicle Assembly Building. NASA workers connect all the parts. NASA calls it "stacking."
After all of the parts are put together, the whole vehicle is called the Space Transportation System. Now, it's time to move to the launch pad.
The Space Transportation System rides on a crawler. The top of the crawler is as big as a baseball diamond. The crawler has tracks of wheels like a tank. It is very, very slow. It moves about one mile per hour on a road called the crawlerway.
When the shuttle gets to the launch pad, NASA has more work to do before countdown. The shuttle may sit on the launch pad for weeks. This is the countdown clock. It tracks the amount of time until launch.
The astronauts get into the orbiter about 3 hours before launch. Finally, everyone waits for the words, "3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . . Liftoff!"

Select the correct text in the passage.
Which sentence in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich suggests that Ivan Ilyich aspired to be part of the elite in society from a
young age?
Ivan Ilyich was le phenix de la famille as people sald. He was neither as cold and formal as his elder brother nor as wild as the younger, but was
a happy mean between them-an intelligent polished, lively and agreeable man. He had studied with his younger brother at the School of Law,
but the latter had failed to complete the course and was expelled when he was in the fifth class. Ivan Ilyich finished the course well. Even when
he was at the School of Law he was just what he remained for the rest of his life: a capable, cheerful, good-natured, and sociable man, though
strict in the fulfillment of what he considered to be his duty, and he considered his duty to be what was so considered by those in authority.
Neither as a boy nor as a man was he a toady, but from early youth was by nature attracted to people of high station as a fly is drawn to the
light, assimilating their ways and views of life and establishing friendly relations with them. All the enthusiasms of childhood and youth passed
without leaving much trace on him; he succumbed to sensuality, to vanity, and latterly among the highest classes to liberalism, but always within
limits which his Instinct unfallingly indicated to him as correct.
At school he had done things which had formerly seemed to him very horrid and made him feel disgusted with himself when he did them; but
when later on he saw that such actions were done by people of good position and that they did not regard them as wrong, he was able not
exactly to regard them as right, but to forget about them entirely or not be at all troubled at remembering them.

Read the lines from "A Psalm of Life."
Lives of great men all remind us

And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time.
The imagery in the lines suggests that
time moves slowly and surely.
great deeds are remembered in history.
time is like an unending, perpetual desert.
each day is equivalent to a grain of sand.
Answer:
The imagery in the lines suggests that great deeds are remembered in history.
Explanation:
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem "A Psalm of Life" talks of life in general and how it is like a battlefield. The poet talks of the purpose of life and how one can live a life that is filled with sorrow and suffering along the way. Nevertheless, the poet also reveals an optimistic side of living and that one can leave a "footprint" by doing good deeds.
In the given lines from the poem, the speaker mentions how "lives of great men all remind us we can make our lives sublime". He then uses imagery to reveal the "footprints on the sands of time". This imagery suggests that history will always remember the great deeds of people, no matter how many years passed.
Thus, the correct answer is the second option.
