Answer:
D. Proof that the free peoples of other continents are capable of
standing against Nazi Germany
Explanation:
According to the excerpt from Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Four Freedoms speech, he describes the events of World War II before the United States, entered the war.
Therefore, the evidence that Roosevelt uses to support his argument that the United
States should help its allies in the fight against Nazi Germany is proof that the free peoples of other continents are capable of standing against Nazi Germany.

Egyptian scripts were replaced with Coptic, which included six demotic characters. In the ninth century, Arab scholar Abu Bakr Ahmad Ibn-Wahshiyah was able to partly decipher the hieroglyphs by comparing them to Coptic. But in the eleventh century, it too was replaced, by Arabic. The link was once again severed. For centuries, Western scholars tried to decipher the hieroglyphs, with little success. They were working under a false hypothesis, that the hieroglyphs were pictograms, with each symbol representing an object or an idea.
Which is the best summary of this paragraph?
A - After Coptic became the prominent script, it was replaced by Arabic, which resulted in breaking society’s connection to ancient times.
B - For many centuries, people who spoke a variety of different languages tried to figure out the meaning of hieroglyphs.
C - Hieroglyphs are letters, not symbols representing a whole idea, which many scholars throughout history were not aware of.
D - For a long time, scholars from different places tried to figure out the meaning of hieroglyphs, but they mistakenly believed each hieroglyph was a symbol
Answer:
I believe it is D
Explanation:
I think this because in the excerpt:

Answer:
driving the dead leaves across the earth
Explanation:
Although you have not shown the poem you are referring to, from the context of your question we can see that you are referring to the poem "Ode to the West Wind" where in lines 15 and 16, poet Mary Shelley compares the wind moving the clouds with the wind that move the dead leaves that have fallen from the trees, so that new leaves can re-emerge. In this comparison, Shelley claims that the wind shakes the clouds as if they were branches of trees and drags them across the sky as if they were leaves, dropped on the ground.
Answer:
driving the dead leaves across the earth

Stealing the Day
by Samantha G. (excerpt)
I achieved the unofficial "smart kid" designation in elementary school, and it was not until years later that I met someone who threatened to depose me from my reign.
His name was George, after our nation's first president, and he had been the smartest kid in school during his early academic career as well; but George grew up on the other side of town, so we had really never crossed paths. We were introduced in our biology class, seated at opposite ends of the first row of desks. When our teacher began asking basic questions to test our science knowledge, George and I had not even noticed each other's existence.
But when Mr. Hartley inquired about the aardvark's natural habitat, both of us shot a hand into the air.
"Africa!" exploded the dual shout, followed by snickering from the rest of the class. I peeked in the direction of the other voice to see George gazing directly ahead, as though he was oblivious to anyone else. Surely, he perceived the awkwardness of this circumstance, and had the abrupt comprehension that there was another "smart kid" in the school! But no acknowledgment crossed his face, and I stared back at my own desk as class continued.
When the bell rang and students began jostling out the door, I hung back, thinking that I should at least introduce myself to George. He had waited for everyone else to push out of the classroom as well, and I extended my hand toward him with a smile.
"I just wanted to let you know that I plan to outdo you in every class we have together this semester, and every semester until graduation," he said.
Without glancing in my direction, George dashed out the door and down the hall toward his locker. I was left in shock at his words, at the audacity of his confidence and conceit. After standing immobile for a few moments, I ducked out the side door of the classroom into the late summer sunshine to comprehend what had just transpired. Ultimately, I came to the apparent explanation to his immature attack: George perceived me as a threat.
When the regional science fair was announced, I knew George had already begun working on his entry, as I had. On the day of presentations, as professors from the local university strolled among poster board displays and homemade volcanoes, I had a clear view of George's project. When he detected my surveillance, George began sauntering toward me and I planted my feet firmly, steeling myself for the verbal assault.
"Is this your first science fair?" he inquired, observing my display critically. "I want to make you aware that I'm going to—"
"I know, I know. You're going to beat me at everything." George smirked, self-satisfied and headed back toward his own project. Anger surged through me as I thought of his haughty conduct, his readiness to belittle me at every opportunity. But it was imperative that George not divert me, and I regained my composure as I spied a science fair judge in my peripheral vision.
By November, George was plainly exhausted by his one-sided antagonism, and I scarcely saw him after Thanksgiving. When report cards were distributed before Christmas, he never approached me to compare grades, and I knew that he had relinquished the battle.

The statement which best expresses how the underlined section creates an effect in the plot is option A i.e. It establishes the surprise that the narrator feels throughout the plot.
What is mystery in the excerpt by Samantha ?A text that causes tension is one that makes the peruser need to figure out more about the subject examined. The sentence that is in all likelihood intended to make anticipation for the peruser.
His name was George, after our countries first president, and he had been the most brilliant youngster in school during his initial scholarly profession also yet George experienced childhood with the opposite side of the town, so we had actually never run into each other.
Given the sentence over, the peruser will be in all likelihood keen on figuring out more about George. Since the storyteller had not exactly run into George, he and the peruser will need to figure out what George is like at this point.
In a story, what causes tension is what is going on that makes the peruser or watcher needing to figure out more about what happened in the story.
Anticipation as a rule keeps the peruser particularly anxious to understand what occurred next in the story line.
Subsequently, the storyteller embarks to let us know that the ways of the two children where yet to cross, so because of that, one will need to realize what happens when their ways cross.

Dialogue is important in a story for two reasons. Which of the following is one of the reasons?
It reveals character personality details.
It allows one character to speak alone.
It allows characters to be silent for a while.
It demonstrates action instead of speech.
Answer:
It reveals character personality details.
Explanation:
Dialogue is a feature of a literary text that involves a conversation between two or more characters. It can also be termed as an exchange of words between two or more people.
Dialogue is an integral part of a story because it helps readers to get to know the character(s). The dialogues spoken or used by people are a means to give them personality and are a much better character development instead of the narrator or speaker describing them.
Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
Read the passage from "The Lady, or the Tiger.”
Directly opposite him, on the other side of the inclosed space, were two doors, exactly alike and side by side. It was the duty and the privilege of the person on trial to walk directly to these doors and open one of them. He could open either door he pleased; he was subject to no guidance or influence but that of the aforementioned impartial and incorruptible chance.
What is the author’s purpose for describing the two doors as absolutely identical?
This question is missing the answer choices. I was able to find the complete question online. The choices are the following:
A. to reveal that the outcome of the trial is decided by luck.
B. to show that the verdict is predetermined.
C. to reveal that the defendants are in control of the verdict.
D. to emphasize that the trial is completely fair.
Answer:
The author's purpose for describing the two doors as absolutely identical is:
A. to reveal that the outcome of the trial is decided by luck.
Explanation:
"The Lady, or the Tiger" is a short story by American author and humorist Frank Richard Stockton (18340-1902). In the story, a king is described as semi-barbaric, which shows he is only partially civilized. He understands the importance of a trial to decide whether someone is guilty of a crime or not. However, the trial he comes up with is absurd, and the outcome is decided by sheer luck.
The person being accused of the crime is led to an arena. There, he is supposed to choose between two doors. Behind one of them, he will find a beautiful maiden. Behind the other one, he will find a tiger. The doors are completely identical - nothing about them reveals what is behind them. Thus, it is really a matter of luck whether the man will choose the lady or the tiger. If he chooses the door with the maiden, he is found innocent, and his reward is to marry her immediately. If he chooses the door with the tiger, he is found guilty, and his punishment is to be eaten by the animal.
As we can see, it does not matter whether the person really committed a crime or not. What matters is how lucky he is to choose to right door.
Read this excerpt from Don Quixote and answer the question.
"Hush, friend Sancho," replied Don Qulxote, "the fortunes of ware more than any other are liable to frequent
fluctuations, and moreover I think, and it is the truth, that that same safe Friston who carried off my study and
books, has turned these giants into mills in order to rob me of the glory of vanquishing them, such is the
enmity he bears me; but in the end his wicked arts will avall but little against my good sword."
What is the meaning of "enmity based on the context above.
O Evil
O Hostility
Generosity
o Disappointment
The correct answer is A. Evil
Explanation
In the Don Quixote fragment, he refers to "Friston" a character he blames for having "who carried out my study and books" and "turned these giants into mills" to rob him of the glory of vanquishing them. Later, he expresses that their relationship is one of "enmity" because Frinton has acted against Don Quixote, according to above it can be inferred that the word enmity according to the context described refers to the evil act of Friston against Don Quixote, so the correct respect is A. Evil.

Why are people, and in particular girls and women, willing to risk death to escape the refugee camp
in Bangladesh?
Answer:
People are willing to risk death to escape the camps because they are intensely overcrowded, with people living in shelters made of bamboo and plastic sheeting. Also, the people in the camps can’t get jobs or leave the camps without permission, putting them in a permanent state of poverty. They escape by boat, hoping to improve their lives by finding jobs or marrying men who have jobs. Girls and women are also willing to risk death to leave because they face sexual assault in the camps.)

Read the following quote and then identify the literary device that is being used.
LENNOX: “So that, I say,
[Macbeth] has borne all things well”
understatement
satire
compliment
sarcasm
Answer:
sarcasm
Explanation:
According to the given quote, Lennox says that Macbeth has borne all things well.
The literary device most likely used in this excerpt is sarcasm. This is because, Macbeth struggled throughout most of the book to control situations around him and even had to resort to murder on more than one occasion and definitely did not bear "all things well".
Therefore, Lennox's words were most likely sarcasm.

what does the meaning behind Luca?
Answer:
It's the Italian equivalent of Luke and means “bringer of light,” something delighted parents around the globe would agree is true about their precious offspring.hope it helpsstay safe healthy and happy....Answer:
The name Luca is of English origin and means "bringer of light". It is the Italian variation of Luke or Lucas, meaning "man from Lucania".
Luca is not, ultimately, a love story. But it is a story that’s explicitly about otherness and self-discovery. The symbolism lends itself to interpretations of queerness, or as an allegory of assimilation.
SUMMARY OF LUCA (SPOILERS)SEA CHANGE – Disney and Pixar’s “Luca” is a coming-of-age story about a sea monster who dreams of life beyond the surface. Since sea monsters look human when they’re dry, filmmakers at Pixar Animation Studios had to figure out how to showcase the incredible transformation from sea monster to human and back again in a fun and organic way. Given concept art and parameters driven by story, technical teams worked toward giving artists the flexibility to craft each transformation according to story needs—dictating details like the origin and speed of the transformation. The end result—developed through the collaboration of multiple teams, including art, tools and global technology, characters, effects, animation, simulation and lighting—is stylized, specific and seamless.
Summary begins hereAlberto and Luca run away to live in Portorosso after Luca’s loving but overprotective parents (Maya Rudolph and Jim Gaffigan) attempt to send him to live with his deep-sea-dwelling Uncle Ugo (Sacha Baron Cohen). The kids have to pass in a community they expect would react with hostility if they were ever perceived as they wholly are. Alberto harbors a fantasy of perpetual escape in which he and Luca will use the prize money from the race to buy a Vespa and go on a never-ending road trip, while Luca, to Alberto’s dismay, starts to wonder if there’s a place where he can learn from and live among the humans — even though there are some, like town bully Ercole Visconti (Saverio Raimondo), who wear their intolerance proudly. “What happens when she sees you? When anyone sees you?” Alberto demands when Luca starts talking about following Giulia to school.
Luca is so intent on meaning something that it only ever halfway inhabits the delightfully colorful world it lays out. We never get a deeper understanding of the history between the sea monsters and the humans beyond some hints that there has been far more interaction than Luca was raised to believe. We never find out why Luca’s mother thinks the world is so dangerous; the narrative just needs her to be paranoid, and so she is. Alberto’s wayward dad remains an offscreen squiggle, a means of bolstering the surrogate-parent relationship Alberto begins to develop with Giulia’s father, a stern but kind fisherman whose bushy eyebrows are identical to his bushy mustache. Luca falls in love with astronomy after Giulia shows him the heavens through a telescope, but his burgeoning desire to study exists in contrast to nothing in particular, because there’s no sense of what future would have been available to him had he stayed underwater.
One of the side effects of children’s films becoming more progressive, aware, and careful is that they can lose some of the dimensionality they had before, when they were awash with subtext that didn’t always feel coherent or intended. Luca collects artifacts from the world above — much like a certain Disney mermaid with whom he shares a corporate umbrella — while never encountering anyone as defiantly memorable as Ursula, a villain based on the drag queen Divine. The film would rather evoke Guadagnino and Hayao Miyazaki, especially the latter’s Porco Rosso; the 1992 movie is an obvious touch point. But Luca doesn’t have the lived-in texture of a Studio Ghibli production, either, that palpable sense of a universe extending beyond each animated frame. What it does have are some groovy Italian pop songs and a setting as pleasant as a summer afternoon. The light glimmers off the surface of the ocean without any worry of going too deep.
