Answer and Explanation:
"Condensed Milk" is a short story by Russian author Varlam Shalamov (1907-1982), who based it on his own experience as a prisoner. Shalamov spent around 15 years at a Gulag, a forced-labor camp.
The unnamed protagonist of the story is very much like Shalamov himself. Most likely arrested for expressing opinions against the political regime, he lives a miserable life at the Gulag. He is sick, weak, and apathetic due to the suffering and starvation.
The conflict is introduced by another character, Shestakov, who has privileges at the Gulag. Shestakov offers the protagonist a chance to escape the camp. However, the protagonist knows this means either death or more time as a prisoner. Nonetheless, instead of directly rejecting the opportunity, he chooses a more interesting approach to deal with the conflict. He asks for some condensed milk to drink, saying he will feel stronger and will be able to escape after drinking it.
He does not have any intention of escaping. He is just using Shestakov to get some delicious food for him. The climax of the story, the point when the conflict is being addressed, is when the protagonist drinks the two can Shestakov has brought him. It is also the point where he reveals his real intentions:
'You know,' I said, carefully licking the spoon, 'I changed my mind. Go without me.'
The protagonist was right. Shestakov was indeed working with the government, and those who tried to escape were either killed or sentenced to more time. But it is interesting to see that the protagonist regards his actions as a revenge - small, but still a revenge. He outsmarted the man who was willing to get him killed. He dealt with the conflict with wit and humor:
It was, of course, a weak, worthless act of vengeance just like all my feelings. But what else could I do?
Answer:The conflict in the short story Condensed milk is survival in a Gulag, hungr and desperation.

Which line from the passage best supports the theme that patience is a virtue?
line 1
line 2
line 3
line 4
line1 because he really showing patience he said tunes in to his task like it's the only thing on planet
Answer:
Line 4
Explanation:
Line 4 states that our subject is 'slow and steady', implying that he has patience, and then describes the positive results of his scrupulous work: 'the issues have been solved and the car is running smoothly again'. The subject is able to reap the fruits of his labor, thus demonstrating that patience is a virtue.
The other sentences describe his engagement with his task in a more neutral way. In line 1, there is no mention of patience, only of his absorption in his task. In lines 2 and 3, the meticulous nature of his approach is described. Only in line 4 is the 'virtue' aspect of patience revealed.

The harsh wind scoured the scant remaining leaves from the trees, and a desolate landscape remained in its wake.
The underlined portion of the sentence is
a coordinating conjunction.
a dependent clause.
an independent clause.
a subordinating conjunction.
Answer:
Answer is C. an independent clause (A. a coordinating conjunction) Explanation: Although nothing is underlined, I think the question stiil can be answered. But first, a quick revision. Independent clause is the one that conveys a complete thought and contains enough information to stand on its own. On the othet hand, dependent clause can only express a meaning if it is linked to an independent clause via the subordinating conjunction. In our sentence, both clauses, "The harsh wind scoured the scant remaining leaves from the trees" and "A desolate landscape remained in its wake" are independent clauses and as such they are linked together via a coordinating conjunction "and". So, if any of these two clauses is underlined then the correct answer is "independent clause". However, if the conjunction "and" is underlined, then the answer is "coordinating conjunction".
Answer:
an independent clause

and he used his friendliest voice with the reporters,
assuring them over the telephone that there really was no

Somehow the reporters concluded that the sick monkeys

Which detail supports the central idea?
Dante
Intro
Answer:
The topic is limitation of news released to the media.
The central idea is that there are situations where the truth must be hidden.
The detail that supports the central message is sentence: "C. J. Peter's comments to The Washington Post were designed to create an impression that the situation was under control"
Explanation:
In a text, the topic refers to the subject presented. In the text above, we can see that this topic is the limitation of news released to the media. We can see that this is the topic, because we saw that after a tragedy happened, the media received limited, contained information that did not present the tragedy as it actually happened.
The central idea of a text, on the other hand, refers to the message the author wants to teach the reader. In the text above, we can see that this message is that there are situations where the truth must be hidden. This is because the group hides the truth about the tragedy so as not to generate panic and despair in the population. Therefore, we can conclude that it was necessary to hide the truth for security reasons.
The details that support the central idea are the sentences that show how the message is correct, or how it happened. In this case, we can identify the following sentence as a support detail: "C. J. Peter's comments to The Washington Post were designed to create an impression that the situation was under control"

Does learning about gender stereotypes helps you in understanding other person's individuality? What are the effects of gender stereotyping on you? Can jobs like caregiver nurse and cook applicable to any gender why
Answer and Explanation:
Does learning about gender stereotypes helps you in understanding other person's individuality?
No. Individuality is the character and personality of a person and what is unique to them that differentiates them from other people. Gender stereotype is the belief that a gender group should behave and/or perform a particular role in society. Therefore individuality and gender stereotypes are two different topics that do not complement the other.
What are the effects of gender stereotyping on you?
Somewhat indifferent to it and yet unconsciously yielding to most of its effects. Example, the idea of patriarchy and it's importance to the male gender role.
Can jobs like caregiver nurse and cook applicable to any gender why?
Yes. It is mostly believed that the female gender is more suitable to care giving roles.

the country where land is cheaper. There, they try to start a

For this story to qualify as a work of Modernism, how best should it end?
A. The oldest child struggles to find a job but finally succeeds.
B. A tornado strikes, destroying their property, but they live.
C. Through hard work, they manage to slowly tame the land.
D. All of the problems they tried to escape come right back.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
The definition of modernism is "a style of movement in the arts that aims to break with classical and traditional forms." Characteristics of modernism usually include self-consciousness and irony.
If all of their problems come back, that would be considered as irony [I'm pretty sure]
Answer:
D or B
Explanation:
Two characteristics of modernism in literature are absurdity and symbolism. Knowing this, the most absurd of these options is D because the family tries to start a new life, but they are unable to if all of the problems they had, came right back. B would also be a ridiculous option, because having a tornado strike after you come looking to leave your problems behind is simply absurd. For symbolism, both work well too, so sorry for not being sure. In D, the symbol of the problems returning would be that no matter how hard these people try to leave their past behind, there will always be a form of it chasing right behind them. And for the tornado, in my opinion, it would signify that this is simply not the place to start a new life. Because of this, I believe it is D, but it may also be B, so I am sorry for not being able to give you a clear answer. I hope this helps you!

Read the passage from chapter 17 of The Prince.
Coming now to the other qualities mentioned above, I say that every prince ought to desire to be considered clement and not cruel. Nevertheless he ought to take care not to misuse this clemency. Cesare Borgia was considered cruel; notwithstanding, his cruelty reconciled the Romagna, unified it, and restored it to peace and loyalty. And if this be rightly considered, he will be seen to have been much more merciful than the Florentine people, who, to avoid a reputation for cruelty, permitted Pistoia to be destroyed. Therefore a prince, so long as he keeps his subjects united and loyal, ought not to mind the reproach of cruelty; because with a few examples he will be more merciful than those who, through too much mercy, allow disorders to arise, from which follow murders or robberies; for these are wont to injure the whole people, whilst those executions which originate with a prince offend the individual only.
How does the repetition of the words cruel and cruelty affect the tone of the paragraph?
Answer:
The repetition of the words "cruel" and "cruelty" results in a manner of insistence and places a heavy emphasis on these characteristics deemed less detrimental than certain others (such as mercy). It highlights the importance, value, and role of this quality according to Machiavelli. This repetition also serves to counterpoise the negative connotations one may instinctively associate with the word "cruelty" and render it neutral. It brings a certain intensity to Machiavelli's tone.

what do we mean whenwe say plural form of noun
One person, place or thing is a singular noun. Having more than one things, or having multiple people or places, that's referring to plural nouns.
For example,
One school = singularTwo schools = pluralWe simply add s to the end of the noun for a lot of cases to make it a plural form. Though sometimes you'll have something like this
One cross = singularTwo crosses = pluralNote how we add on 'es' instead of simply 's'. This is so won't have a string of 's' letters at the end, and it adds on another syllable as well.
Some nouns are the same whether singular or plural. Such examples are
fishdeersheepSo you could say something like "I caught one fish yesterday" or "The biologist estimates there are about 200 fish in the lake".
