Read the passage from "By the Waters of Babylon.”

All the same, when I came to the Place of the Gods, I was afraid, afraid. The current of the great river is very strong—it gripped my raft with its hands. That was magic, for the river itself is wide and calm. I could feel evil spirits about me, I was swept down the stream. Never have I been so much alone—I tried to think of my knowledge, but it was a squirrel's heap of winter nuts. There was no strength in my knowledge any more and I felt small and naked as a new-hatched bird—alone upon the great river, the servant of the gods.

Describe a character in a series/movie that you idolise thoroughly. You can talk about how they dress, speak, walk, etc.​

Answers

Parties are often preceded by fun questions, like what to give? Who to bring (if you have a plus one, that is)? When to arrive? And, crucially, what to wear? Most of us don’t just happen to have a floor-length silk gown or a tailcoat hanging around in our closet, waiting for the day our Met Gala invite finally arrives. But would that even be the right kind of thing to wear to such an event? We’ve got answers, and options, for every possible occasion on your social calendar.

AlohaS4

Answer & Explanation:

A character that I idolize thoroughly in a series/movie would be "Aloha" from "Coroika/Splatoon". It's a manga series by Nintendo. Aloha is a very different character, someone who stood out to me almost instantly. He's very confident and kind while being very childish and a bit crazy at times. He's a fun character overall and his design was very laid-back to me.

Aloha speaks in a very "party" type style. What I mean by "party" style is his slang. He doesn't use full sentences or full words. Aloha's style of slang gives off a carefree vibe. He's not strict and likes to have fun rather than following rules.

Aloha's dressing style is something that would be better described as something you'd wear at the beach or on vacation. He's seen usually with a light blue shirt styled with white flower-type designs on it. He wears shorts and tennis shoes that are styled in all different colors. Pink, yellow, blue, etc. He usually puts his hair in a ponytail with some left down. He wears a pink golf visor.

Aloha is from a world where humans died 12,000 years ago and squids, octopuses, and jellyfish as well as some other smaller sea creatures have evolved into more humanoid characters. In this world, Turf War is the main way of living, they play Turf War games for entertainment and money. But, Aloha does it for simple fun with his close friends. People he would consider family, even. He's one of the highest ranks as the 3rd highest S ranker in their whole city of Inkopolis. The ranks are C, B, A, S, X. "X" rank being the highest, Of course, you can be a "#" minus, too. So, a "C -" Is the lowest possible rank while an "X +" Is the highest possible rank.

The reason I idolize this character, Aloha, so much is that he always gave off a very calm feeling to me. He was kind but confident. I have always had a lack of confidence. Aloha also had this feeling of being crazy and carefree. He kind of reminds me of a child, someone very young. Of course, he's older than me, but, he still felt like someone most could get along with. He's hard to hate when he's always so carefree and kind to everyone. Aloha has been seen multiple times through the series with his best friends or his Turf War teammates. They're a tightly-knit team who play in an unpredictable way, making them hard to beat when you have no idea what they'll do next.

~Aloha

PS: Yes, I named my account after this character. I idolize him very much. ^-^

Read Story-Time by Edgar Guest

According to this poem, stories A. give children terrible nightmares if told before bedtime. B. transform fathers into wonderful heroes for their children. C. help people cope with the problems that they experience. D. let people have adventures from the comfort of home

Answer: D. let people have adventures from the comfort of home.

Explanation:

Guest´s poem describes a father telling stories to the kids before bedtime. That nightly ritual seems to happen every day, and allows them to go on adventures with pirates, "Or fairies hiding in the glen," and many other fictional scenes.

In those adventures, they can be as they wish, because "No longer are they youngsters small," and the father is not old.

He describes seemingly dangerous situations, such as great battles, that might seem dangerous but are harmless because they always end well and just in time for bed.

B. He is too tired to run and decides to die
in his sleep.
C. He slows down so his dog can catch up
to him.

Answers

Answer: B. He is too tired to run and decides to die  in his sleep.

Explanation:

In ''To Build a Fire'' a man is traveling in the Yukon in very cold weather with a dog. He attempts to build a fire multiple times but fails each time as the cold and snow snuff it out.

When he predicts that he was nearing death as the cold got worse, he decided to start running in order to get blood circulating around his body but it is too cold and he is too tired so his endurance fails him and he stops running. He now accepts that his death and meets it with perceived dignity by deciding to fall asleep and die from there.

1] I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
[5] Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
[10] Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
[15] A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
[20] In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

What happens in the first stanza?

The poet describes a time that he felt lonely and came upon a field of daffodils.
The poet ponders the meaning of life and the challenges and joys of the hills and valleys.
The poet reflects on a moment when he realized that nature could be gentle or harsh.

Antitrust laws protect competition and bring about lower what?

A.
Wages

B.
Taxes

C.
Prices

D.
Efficiency

Answers

Answer: C. Prices

Step by step explanation:

Just took the exam!

Antitrust laws protect competition and bring about lower Prices. Thus, option C is the correct option.

Antitrust laws are designed to protect and promote competition in the marketplace. One of the primary objectives of these laws is to prevent monopolistic practices that could lead to higher prices and reduced consumer choice. By ensuring a competitive environment, antitrust laws aim to bring about lower prices for goods and services.

When multiple companies are actively competing, they are incentivized to offer better deals and prices to attract customers, resulting in more affordable options for consumers. Additionally, healthy competition often drives innovation and efficiency, leading to further benefits such as improved product quality and increased economic growth.

Does Bilbo Baggins show perseverance in The Hobbit?

Answers

Answer:

He acts at first like a coward and a scaredy-cat because that is what hobbits do. They like to just sit around all day and be lazy and do nothing. In the middle and end of the book he actions lean him more towards fierce and brave.

Explanation:

He initially displays cowardice and fear because that is how hobbits behave. They enjoy doing nothing but lounging about all day. His acts throughout the middle and end of the novel skew him more toward brave and aggressive.

What is the concept of the Bilbo Baggins?

The stealthy Bilbo Baggins is a gentleman. He didn't steal out of avarice; rather, he did it in order to advance their investigation and safeguard his party's members. Because he is a Hobbit, Bilbo embodies Tolkien's definition of a true hero: a small man with a large heart.

The adjective that best depicts Bilbo Baggins at the opening of The Hobbit is "well-ordered." The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, which was helmed by Peter Jackson, is a fictional film. The movie came out in the year 2012.

Thus, He initially displays cowardice and fear because that is how hobbits behave.
