Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D. to keep a cool head in tense situations.

A. “You shouldn’t have allowed me or anybody else to shake your confidence in that knowledge. Try to remember that. And another thing: when you get into a dangerous place, don’t turn coward."

Explanation:

"Cub Pilot" is about Mark Twain's experience as a steersman in a boat under the guidance of his chief Mr. Bixyby. This chapter is a part of the novel "Life On the Mississippi" by Mark Twain.

Mr. Bixby decided to test Mark who felt so confident of being able to navigate the boat without his supervision. So, he 'planned' a scene where he is "below awhile" and asked Mark to take control in his absence. But a simple question of whether he (Mark) is confident of his knowledge of the course led to many 'theories' in his mind. He immediately felt his confidence gone, began to question everything which in the end, was just a test to see how he trust himself. Mr. Mixby's "test" was to teach him how to keep his head cool even in the tensest situation to be a good pilot. He told him that no one should be allowed "to shake your confidence" in the knowledge he has. And he also added, "when you get into a dangerous place, don’t turn coward."

Thus, the correct answers are option D for the first question and option A for the second question.

how was teamwork used in sonata for harp and bicycle

Answers

Answer:

In "Sonata For Harp And Bicycle", teamwork was used by Jason and Miss. Golden to bring the ghosts of William Heron and Miss. Bell together and stopped the ghosts from disturbing Grimes Building. Jason and Miss. Golden collaborated and worked to achieve the feat.

Below is an excerpt that supports that teamwork was used:

“Now we must run. You take the roses, sweetheart, and I’ll carry the bottles.”

Together they raced up eight flights of stairs and along the passages to Room 492.

The ghost of William Heron, the watchman at Grimes Building has haunted the staff working in the building for fifty years. The reason was because Miss. Bell, the woman he wanted to propose to died on the night of the proposal.

The two ghosts disturbed the building and as a result, staff do not stay after 5 o'clock. When Jason discovered the menance the presence of the ghosts was causing, he agreed with Miss. Golden to bring the strange couples together. They successfully achieved it.

Explanation:

"Sonata For Harp & Bicycle" is a short story written by Joan Aiken, an English writer who specializes in supernatural fictions and children's history novels.

Use the following excerpt from Boccaccio's The Decameron to answer the following question: "In the year of our Lord 1348, there happened at Florence, the finest city in all Italy a most terrible plague; which, whether owing to the influence of the planets, or that it was sent from God as a just punishment for our sins, had broken out some years before in the Levant (Middle East) and, after passing from place to place, and making incredible havoc all the way, had now reached the west… " Public Domain Based on the passage, how would Boccaccio likely feel about the actions of the flagellants, who warned Christians to repent?

Answers

This question is missing the options and is, therefore, incomplete. I've found the options online. They are the following:

Based on the passage, how would Boccaccio likely feel about the actions of the flagellants, who warned Christians to repent?

A. He would find their actions sinful because they accused God.

B. He would find their actions appropriate because the Church was corrupt.

C. He would find their actions appropriate because he believed human sin may have caused the plague.

D. He would find their actions inappropriate because he was certain the planets caused the plague.

Answer:

Boccaccio would probably feel the following:

C. He would find their actions appropriate because he believed human sin may have caused the plague.

Explanation:

Boccaccio does speak of the planets' influence causing the plague. However, that is not the only reason he deems possible. According to him, the plague could have very well been caused by sin. In that case, it would be a punishment sent by God. Therefore, if the plague was caused by sin, it made perfect sense to repent, just as was advocated by the flagellants. Boccaccio would, thus, most likely agree with them. Note: flagellants believe in repenting by hurting oneself, usually whipping one's own flesh.

In 300 words or less, identify a major event in the plot, and explain why it is important to Sanger Rainsford's internal
journey


PLEASE HELP

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Sanger Rainsford is the main character in Richard Connell's "The Most Dangerous Game." From the beginning of the short story until its ending, Rainsford endures hardship that is bound to make him grow and develop as a person. His internal journey, his change as a human being, is certainly affected by external events, the most important one originating with his meeting General Zaroff.

At the beginning of the story, Rainsford is quite the arrogant hunter. He reveals in a dialog his lack of empathy for his prey. Rainsford thinks the world can be divided into hunters and huntees, and that he is lucky to belong to the former instead of the latter. The huntees, according to his philosophy, do not really deserve any pity or sympathy. This is just how life goes.

However, Rainsford ends in Zaroff's private island only to find out what it feels like to be the huntee. The general is also a hunter who, very much like Rainsford himself, does not believe in empathizing with his prey. There is a catch in his philosophy, though. General Zaroff believes that applies to hunting men. He has grown tired of hunting irrational beasts and, looking for a more thrilling challenge, he has begun hunting human beings like himself.

Zaroff invites Rainsford to hunt alongside him, but Rainsford refuses, calling it murder. The general decides then to hunt Rainsford instead. Upon becoming the prey, Rainsford's internal journey is suddenly veered to a completely different path. He can no longer be the arrogant hunter he once was. He now understands the fear, the desperation that the animals he has hunted have felt. Facing death inevitably brings with it the instinctive wish to survive. No matter if rational or irrational, every living being in the world wishes to avoid death and remain alive. Rainsford is similar to any other animal.

2. Infer In lines 126-136, Maya tells a story about a student who immigrates

to the United States from Cambodia. How does this story advance, or add

details to, the plot's rising action?

Answers

Explanation:

It adds details to the plot's rising action since Maya is painted as been more intimidated because of her view that she's about to face something scary and embarrassing just as it happened to the student who immigrated to the United States from Cambodia.

Remember, any descriptions of incidents that create suspense, interest, or tensions are referred to as the rising action.

The text indicates that the immigrant may have experienced some inappropriate events. So she is used to feeling that way when she thinks she is in trouble. Although Maya has never undergone the same events as the other immigrant, Maya still feels uneasy and worried about getting in trouble. Maya thinks she has a connection with the immigrant that makes her more frightened that something scary and embarrassing will happen to her, as it did to the immigrant in the story.

Which four phrases in this excerpt from Robert Stawell Ball's Great Astronomers convey a commendable tone toward Ptolemy's work?

Answers

Which phrases in this excerpt from Robert Stawell Ball's Great Astronomers convey a commendable tone toward Ptolemy’s work?

he name, Ptolemy, appears to have been a common one in Egypt in those days. The time at which he lived is fixed by the fact that his first recorded observation was made in 127 AD, and his last in 151 AD. When we add that he seems to have lived in or near Alexandria, or to use his own words, "on the parallel of Alexandria," we have said everything that can be said so far as his individuality is concerned.

Ptolemy is, without doubt, the greatest figure in ancient astronomy. He gathered up the wisdom of the philosophers who had preceded him. He incorporated this with the results of his own observations, and illumined it with his theories. His speculations, even when they were, as we now know, quite erroneous, had such an astonishing verisimilitude to the actual facts of nature that they commanded universal assent. Even in these modern days we not infrequently find lovers of paradox who maintain that Ptolemy's doctrines not only seem true, but actually are true.

A.) so far as his individuality is concerned

B.) greatest figure in ancient astronomy

C.) gathered up the wisdom

D.) illumined it with his theories

E.) astonishing verisimilitude to the actual facts

Answer:

B. "greatest figure in ancient in astronomy"

C. "he gathered up the wisdom"

D. "illumined it with his theories"

E. "astonishing verisimilitude to the actual act"

Explanation:

The author acknowledges Ptolemy's work and contributions to astronomy, although some of his works and theories were later found to be wrong.

He calls him the greatest figure in ancient astronomy and says that he gathered up wisdom, brought light with his theories, and helped advance astronomy. He believes that even if some of the theories were wrong, they were similar to true facts.

Everyone who tried out for the basketball team had their hearts set on playing center. D. Each of the players must provide their own uniforms.

Answers

Answer:

The sentence that illustrates correct pronoun-antecedent agreement is:

A. Did most of the players sink their three-point shots?

Explanation:

We can eliminate letter B because of the compound conjunction "neither... nor". This conjunction makes the subject singular, which causes "their" to be the wrong pronoun. The correct pronoun would be "his", even though two people are mentioned.

Letter C can also be eliminated since the noun "everyone" is also singular and demands a singular verb and singular pronouns. We tend to think of it as referring to many people, which is the cause of confusion. With "everyone", we should avoid using "their".

Letter D is also incorrect. "Each" is the antecedent we need to consider, and it is a singular one. Again, the use of "their" is wrong here.

Therefore, we are left with letter A. "Most" can be used with singular or plural nouns. The verbs and pronouns that follow will agree with the noun, not with the word "most". In this case, we have "most of the players", "players" being plural. For that reason, the use of "their" is correct.

Poetry appeals to the reader's emotions, tends to say a lot in a small space and uses metaphors to make comparisons between unlike thing.

Poetry is a literary genre that is characterized by being the most refined manifestation, through the word, of the feelings, emotions and reflections that human beings can express about beauty, love, life or death. As such, it can be composed in both verse and prose.
