Read the following letter carefully before you choose your answer. The following is a letter written by an already established Voltaire to a young and newly published author, M. Helvetius, in 1739. (1) My dear friend—the friend of Truth and the Muses—your Epistle is full of bold reasoning in advance of your age, and still more in advance of those craven writers who rhyme for the book-sellers and restrict themselves within the compass of a royal censor, who is either jealous of them, or more cowardly than they are themselves. (2) What are they but miserable birds, with their wings close clipped, who, longing to soar, are for ever falling back to earth, breaking their legs! You have a fearless genius, and your work sparkles with imagination. I much prefer your generous faults to the mediocre prettinesses with which we are cloyed. If you will allow me to tell you where I think you can improve yourself in your art, I should say: Beware, lest in attempting the grand, you overshoot the mark and fall into the grandiose: only employ true similes: and be sure always to use exactly the right word. (3) Shall I give you an infallible little rule for verse? Here it is. When a thought is just and noble, something still remains to be done with it: see if the way you have expressed it in verse would be effective in prose: and if your verse, without the swing of the rhyme, seems to you to have a word too many—if there is the least defect in the construction—if a conjunction is forgotten—if, in brief, the right word is not used, or not used in the right place, you must then conclude that the jewel of your thought is not well set. Be quite sure that lines which have any one of these faults will never be learnt by heart, and never re-read: and the only good verses are those which one re—reads and remembers, in spite of oneself. There are many of this kind in your "Epistle"—lines which no one else in this generation can write at your age such as were written fifty years ago. (4) Do not be afraid, then, to bring your talents to a Parnassus1; they will undoubtedly redound to your credit because you never neglect your duties; for them: they are themselves very pleasant duties. Surely, those your position demand of you must be very uncongenial to such a nature as yours. They are as much routine as looking after a house, or the housebook of one's steward. Why should you be deprived of liberty of thought because you happen to be a farmer-general2? Atticus was a farmer-general, the old Romans were farmers-general, and they thought—as Romans. Go ahead, Atticus. 1A sacred mountain in Greece, known as the home of the Muses of Greek poetry 2A privileged member of French society who collected taxes on behalf of the king Paragraph 2 could be used to support which of the following claims about the writer's tone? His tone when discussing Helvetius's work is obsequious and flattering. His tone when discussing Helvetius's work is patronizing and demeaning. His tone when discussing the works of others is critical and analytical. His tone when discussing the works of others is deferential and complimentary.

Answer:

3. Rivers still provide viable routes for shipping, but it is no longer the most feasible method for moving materials.

Explanation:

For a sentence to have a logical transition, there must be an accurate subject-verb or subject-pronoun agreement. It as a pronoun can be used as a subject or object in a sentence. When It is used to describe a subject, the subject is usually in the singular form. For example,

1. It is a book.

The sentence, 'Books are a good source of earning, but it is going extinct' is not correct because there is no agreement between the subject which is in the plural form and the pronoun.

So the third sentence should be worded as 'Rivers still provide viable routes for shipping, but they are no longer the most feasible method for moving materials'.

The correct answer is A. Were

Explanation:

Verbs should agree with the subject (person or entity doing the action) and they should be in the correct tense (present, past, or future). In this context, the section "Last year" indicates the action of the sentence occurred in the past, and therefore the verb should be in the past. Moreover, in this sentence, the subject is "the council members", which is a plural subject. This means an appropriate verb for this sentence should be in past and plural form. According to this, the only correct option is "were" because this is the past form of the verb to be, it is used for plural subjects, and it creates a coherent sentence.

Have a nice day!!!!

Answer:

We can point out that freedom of expression is particularly important nowadays. The current generation is addicted to expressing their opinion, to saying what they do not like or do not like. We can say that we have freedom of expression.

Freedom of expression is the fundamental right of man to say what he thinks. It is a natural right, which belongs to the essence of the human being, as well as the right to life, to dignity, being probably the most important right for the functioning of a free and democratic society.

At the individual level, freedom of expression is a necessary condition for the development, fulfillment, and dignity of each person. This right helps us to know and better understand the world we live in, through the free exchange of ideas and information with our fellow human beings.

Freedom of expression is important not only as a right, but also because it is essential for the observance of other fundamental rights (access to information, political freedom, religious freedom, the rights of national minorities, sex).

Without free expression there is no exchange of ideas, there is no public debate, there is no possibility to inform ourselves, to choose, to express ourselves artistically. Our daily choices, the way we dress, the music we listen to, the books we read, the media we are informed about, are all expressions of the right to free speech.

Totalitarian regimes (communism, fascism, Nazism, religious dictatorships) have been (and still are in some countries) the most hostile to this right. Restrictions imposed by law and abuses by the authorities concerned both political freedom of expression (banning opposition parties, restricting the right to association and public assemblies, sanctioning criticism of the government), and other manifestations of freedom of expression, such as cultural ones. artistic, sports.

For many historical periods, the world has been persecuted and has not been able to express its opinion, opinion, knowledge. There would be many examples: the ability of women to vote, the restriction of freedom of expression during communism (before 1989 in European countries and Russia). We are a "modern" generation addicted to expressing our opinions and expressing ourselves.

The origin of a word or etymology refers to the history of a word including the first language in which the word was used, and its evolution. In dictionary entries, it is common to find concise information about the etymology of a word. This section in the entry can be identified because it usually includes the word "from" or mentions another language such as Latin or Greek.

In the case of the excerpt presented, the origin of a word is explained in the section "1525-1535, Latin..." because by reading this section the reader will know the word first originated in the Latin language and meant "to bear".

Answer:

"Shooting an Elephant"

The Europeans are presented as imperialists who think that they are in control not knowing that they have lost their will power to the natives, whom they think they dominate. The Europeans are described like masked people who have grown to resemble the masks they wear with ingrained habits and prejudices.

The Burmese are presented as idle, idiotic, and lacking the coercive power necessary to be in obvious control of their lives, especially since they have no physical weapons.  However, what they lack in physical weapons, they possess in abundance with the power of the will.  This implies that their lack of physical weapons does not make them powerless in the real sense.  They have will.  With it, they control the Europeans who weld physical power.  

I empathize mostly with the Europeans.  Their portrayal by George Orwell is very sympathetic.  By trying to impose their authority on others, they limit their ability to even control their own lives.  They must dance to the music of the crowd because of the expectations placed on them by the natives.  The same is true of all rulers who have refused to embrace leadership principles, thinking that they are in charge of the people, not realizing that it is the people that control them with their crowd expectations.

Europeans are not accepted by others.  Europeans do not accept others.  Each tribe thinks highly of themselves and belittles the others.  But, we are all human beings, created in God’s image and likeness.  The moment we overcome our prejudices, it is the same moment that we are liberated to fulfil God’s mandate, “to exercise dominion over the earth.”  This dominion is not the domination of other people, but the dominion of the elements that make up the earth, the forces, and the evils that attempt to take over the earth that God has created for the welfare of human beings.  We must collaborate, cherish each other, and find joy in our diversity as humans.  We must act together in love.  Conclusively, George Orwell’s observation is true of all human beings, “when the white man (read, “any class of humanity”) turns tyrant, it is his own freedom that he destroys.”

Explanation:

George Orwell's 1936 short story titled: "Shooting an Elephant" describes his experiences as a police officer in Burma.  In it, he denounces British imperialism as lacking common sense.  Europeans are made a laughing stock of by the natives they try to rule.  According to George Orwell, Imperialism and colonialism are evil as no good has come from the imposition of another's will on others.

This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question, with the underline words.

Match the underlined word in each verse to its meaning in the context of the poem

the rhythm of a piece of poetry or music

a silly or foolish person

meaning, weight, or significance

reward

a small stream

1. "In which the burthen of the mystery, / In which the heavy and the  weary weight of all this unintelligible world, / Is lightened:"

(from "Tintern Abbey" by William Wordsworth)

2. "Faint I, nor mourn nor murmur, other gifts / Have followed; for such loss, I would believe, / Abundant recompence"

(from "Tintern Abbey" by William Wordsworth)

3. "Hold offl unhand me, grey-beard loon!"

(from "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge)

4. "nor yet beside the rill, Nor up the lawn, nor at the wood was he;"

(from "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard" by Thomas Gray)

5. "Where was heard the mingled measure. From the fountain and the caves."

(from "Kubla Khan" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge)

Answer:

burthen - meaning, weight, or significance

recompence - reward

loon - a silly of foolish person

rill - a small stream

measure - the rhythm of a piece of poetry or music

Explanation:

Burthen is an archaic form of spelling "burden". When we think of a burden, we think of something heavy, difficult to carry around. Therefore, burthen means "weight"

Recompence is more commonly spelled "recompense" nowadays. It is the same as reward.

A loon is a foolish or silly person. We can think of a "loony", a crazy or silly person, someone who does not think or see things the way others do.

A rill is, by definition, a small stream or brook. There is not much we can add here.

Finally, measure refers to the rhythm of a poem or a piece of music. We commonly refer to it by "meter" or simply "rhythm", depending on what we mean.

Answer:

The molar mass is 169g / mol.

Explanation:

To achieve this result you must consider the formula:

[(pº-p) / pº] = [na / (na + nb)]

This formula should be replaced by the values shown in the question as follows:

pº = 0.850 bar

p = 0.845 bar

To find the values of "na" and "nb", we will consider that the letter "m" represents the molecular mass of benzene that is equal to 78, so we have:

na = 0.5 / m; nb = 39/78 = 0.5

Now we can replace all values in the formula:

0.850-0.845 / 0.850 = (0.5 / m) / (0.5 / m) +0.5 =

0.5 / (0.5 = 0.5m) =

1/1 + m =

m = 0.850 / 0.005 - 1 = 169g / mol

The correct answer is D. They made poems easier to memorize.

Explanation:

In poems, alliteration refers to using words with the same consonant sound in a verse or multiple verses. This device makes the poem more memorable or easy to remember as the repetition forms a sound pattern. Also, by remembering which consonant sound is repeated it is easy to remember the words of each verse. Similarly, the use of the meter or a specific structure of verses (number of syllables in each verse and organization of stressed/unstressed syllables) makes the poem to be predictable and easy to remember. Moreover, these two features were more commonly used in poems during the 14th and 15th centuries as in this way the audience could better remember poems.

The correct answer is D. He will go back to his criminal ways

Explanation:

In the excerpt presented, it is described Jimmy took his suitcase and this contained "the finest set of burglar's tools in the East", which shows Jimmy is preparing to be once again a thief or commit crimes. This idea is reinforced by the detail "I don't understand. I am representing the New York..." because this shows Jimmy has dressed in a special way to pretend to be a businessman and in this way commit a crime. According to this, it is likely the next step of Jimmy is to go back to his criminal ways.

If I could not write

Paraphrase:

The (writer) loves to write! The writer would be very sad if they weren't able to write.

Comparison: While the Poem rhymes and used descriptive words to tell how sad the writer would be if they couldn't write (cry, sigh, be blue) the paraphrase just states clearly and simply the interpretation of the stanza.

Answer:

Here is the second stanza of "The Sparrow":

So birds of peace and hope and love

Come fluttering earthward from above,

To settle on life's window-sills,

And ease our load of earthly ills;

But we, in traffic's rush and din

Too deep engaged to let them in,

With deadened heart and sense plod on,

Nor know our loss till they are gone.

And here is a paraphrase of the stanza:

Peace, hope, and love are like birds that come fluttering down and sit upon our window sills. They try to draw our attention, but we ignore them because our lives are busy. We fail to notice that these elements are missing from our lives, but we regret that failure only when we realize that we have lost them.

The paraphrase does not have the same effect as the poem because it does not use the sound devices. It sounds like a flat statement of facts. However, the ideas gain clarity in the paraphrase.

We can also mention that both countries are located on the same continent and in the same hemisphere, next to each other allowing them to share the largest border in the world.

Canada and the United States have different forms of government, but we can mention that both are democratic countries and that they maintain the Senate as the Upper House, even though Canada is not a republic. In addition, both countries have a capitalist economy and are developed countries, which means that both have a large number of immigrants who want to achieve better living standards than those found in their home countries.

Another similarity that can be mentioned is the religious freedom protected by the government of the two countries. Even with this freedom, the two present Christianity as the most popular religion, with more than 50% of the population as adherents.

In addition, we can say that industrial production in both countries is greater than rural production, which means that the majority of the population lives in urban environments and has access to better quality of life, for example, access to quality education. , as both countries have a very low illiteracy rate.
