Read the excerpt from David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest
It's clear that this really pretty sincere yellow Dean at left is Admissions. And surely the little awarian figure

drinking-along-with-it look that spells professionally Academic reservations,
Why does the narrator most likely refer to the deans by their titles rather than their names?
O to distance himself from those present
O to show a personal connection with the group
O to explain his position in relation to the others
O to set a formal tone for the meeting

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

to distance himself from those present

Explanation:

According to the excerpt from David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest, the narrator describes the different deans by their titles rather than names. He describes the Dean of Admissions, Athletics and Academics.

The most likely reason the narrator refers to them by their titles rather than names is to distance himself from those present.

The Story Behind Your Dreams
By Ben Slivnick 2018

How does the author’s discussion of Paul McCartney and Rene’ Descartes contribute to the development of ideas in the text (paragraphs 8-9)?
A. it shows how new and influential ideas can come across from dreams.
B. it proves that intelligent people tend to have more complex dreams.
C. it demonstrates the importance of trying to understand our dreams.
D. it supports the theory that your brain is organizing information as you sleep.

Answers

Answer:

A. It shows how new and influential ideas can come across from dreams.

Explanation:

Ben Slivnick's "The Story Behind Your Dreams" argues about the origin and causes of why people dream. Are dreams a vision or mere memories that our subconscious mind plays in our thoughts?

Arguing on how many theorists believe in the importance of one's dreams and how they are connected with one's memories, Slivnick delves into how dreams are an essential part of our lives. He presents an example of how Paul McCartney and Rene Descartes are some famous people who have got inspirations or were influenced by what they saw in their dreams. And by taking these personas as examples, the author presents how dreams can help influence a person in developing new ideas.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Answers

Answer:

1. Are you a part-time student?

2. Does your sister go out a lot?

3. Do your parents live near here?

4. Do you have any sisters?

Explanation:

In the given question, you need to create questions in the present simple tense. The present simple tense is a type of present tense we use to describe habits, unchanging situations, general truths, and fixed arrangements.

This is one of the most basic tenses in English. Most regular verbs use the root form, except in the third-person singular, which ends in -s. For example:

Your sister goes out a lot.

When we want to ask a question in the present simple tense, we need to add the verb to be and put it before the subject of the sentence. Often, this is the beginning of the sentence. We could transform the sentence I wrote above and then turn it into a question:

Your sister does go out a lot.Does your sister go out a lot?

You need to keep this in mind when arranging the words you were given. A form of the verb to be will come first, the subject will come second, and the predicate containing the main verb will come last.

1. PART A: What does the phrase
"eternal sleep" most closely mean as it
is used in line 2?

Answers

Answer:

A. Death.

Explanation:

Gary Soto's poem "The Tempest 4.1.156-8" is a reference to William Shakespeare's play "The Tempest". But Soto used this play and gave it a slight twist, with the poem leaning towards the theme of death.

The use of the phrase "eternal sleep" in the second line of the poem is suggestive of death, the eternal sleep of a person. Soto, like Shakespeare, believes that we are not to be in this world forever. He states "We are such stuff... rounded with a sleep". Then he continues with the line "but before this eternal sleep", suggesting the scene where "our loved ones look away" to not see us die before their eyes.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

How dose the detail of the children on the spirit’s legs contribute to the overall text?

Answers

This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

How does the detail of the children on the spirit’s legs contribute to the overall text?

A. They represent Ignorance and Want, which the spirit warns Scrooge to beware of.

B. They symbolize two of society’s ills which cling to Christmas: the desire to receive instead of to give, and the failure to acknowledge suffering.

C. They represent Ignorance and Want, two of Scrooge’s faults that hopefully have been corrected by the spirit’s visit.

D. The author likely includes these children to remind readers to care for those in need during Christmas time.

Answer:

The correct answer is option B. They symbolize two of society’s ills which cling to Christmas: the desire to receive instead of to give, and the failure to acknowledge suffering.

Explanation:

   Undoubtedly two of the society's ills wich cling to Christmas is the desire to receive, and never think about those who have the least.

This is exactly what the children represent in the spirit's legs. Children with deprivation and poverty while others have everything, and still want more.

This story tells the life of a selfish and sullen man who changes his way of being during a cold Christmas due to the visit of three ghosts, and it is precisely about symbolizing this problem in society, and trying to change it.
