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

But it was not dark. Everywhere there were lights—lines of light—circles and blurs of light—ten thousand torches would not have been the same. The sky itself was alight—you could barely see the stars for the glow in the sky. I thought to myself "This is strong magic" and trembled. There was a roaring in my ears like the rushing of rivers. Then my eyes grew used to the light and my ears to the sound. I knew that I was seeing the city as it had been when the gods were alive.

That was a sight indeed—yes, that was a sight: I could not have seen it in the body—my body would have died. Everywhere went the gods, on foot and in chariots—there were gods beyond number and counting and their chariots blocked the streets. They had turned night to day for their pleasure—they did not sleep with the sun. The noise of their coming and going was the noise of the many waters. It was magic what they could do—it was magic what they did.

Which details from the text best support the analysis that the narrator is in awe of the city at night? Select three options.

“But it was not dark. Everywhere there were lights.”
“I thought to myself ‘This is a strong magic’ and trembled.”
“That was a sight indeed—yes, that was a sight: I could not have seen it in the body—my body would have died.”

Freedom will not come
Today, this year
Nor ever
Through compromise and fear.
I have as much right
As the other fellow has
To stand
On my two feet
And own the land.
I tire so of hearing people say,
Let things take their course.
Tomorrow is another day.
I do not need my freedom when I’m dead.
I cannot live on tomorrow’s bread.
Freedom
Is a strong seed
Planted
In a great need.
I live here, too.
I want my freedom

Identify the symbolism in the poem. For instance, what do the birds, the singing, and the sky represent? What is the central meaning of the poem?

Answers

Answer:

Caged bird, open sky, free birds

Explanation:

The caged bird depicts the African American who has been bound by society, and the cage symbolizes society. The laterally sky, which is far away from the imprisoned bird, represents freedom, since the free bird “identifies the sky his own.” White Americans might be represented by the free bird. 

Answer:

In the poem, Maya Angelou compares a caged bird to a free bird. The caged bird represents the African American who is restricted by society, and society is represented by the cage. The sky, which is wide-open, yet distant to the caged bird, symbolizes freedom, as the free bird “names the sky his own.” The free bird could represent white Americans. The free bird’s life is carefree and unfettered, and its voice is beautiful and free. The caged bird, on the other hand, is trapped in a cage and “stands on the grave of dreams.” Its voice is fearful and unnatural. The singing of both birds represents self-expression and how discrimination and inequality can hinder and distort the views, ambitions, and expression of those who are persecuted.

1. A letter to a hotel manager complaining about their bad services.

Answers

My name :                                                     Date:

Dear [Hotel Manager Name], My family and I had the misfortune of staying at your hotel from [check in date] to [check out date] in room number [804]. During our stay, we encountered a number of unsatisfactory service levels that I think you should know of and hopefully do something about.

I am writing to complain about the poor customer service experience in your hotel during my stay last week. When I reached your hotel, there was firstly nobody in the reception area to talk to the customer. I waited for around 30 mins in the reception hall itself when a man came there. Enquiring him about the hotel room I had booked 4 days ago, he was just clueless and said no booking was done earlier. After having a dispute with him, he finally got convinced of booking a new room. Apart from this, the food served in the room was quite tasteless and I did not feel like it was even worth paying.

I would like to file a complaint so that there may not be any such incidents happening in the future since I have planned to stay there in the hotel for 3 or 4 times in the future also since it is the only hotel nearby the seminar hall where I would frequently need to visit.

I suggest that customer service should be improved well. All the bookings done prior to the staying period should be well maintained so that customers may not face any issues. Moreover, the food provided in the room should be fresh and tasty as customers are playing for this.

determined, stubborn
Explain the connotation of each.

Answers

Explanation:

Explain the connotation of each. Both words are similar. Determined is more positive and can be associated with someone who is hardworking. Stubborn is a more negative connotation and can be associated with someone who doesn't want to listen.

Answer:

Though both words have roughly the same meaning, they have different connotations. We associate the word “determined” with someone who is industrious and hardworking. These ideas are associated with a positive connotation. “Stubborn,” on the other hand, has more of a negative connotation. We think of someone who is obstinate or inflexible when we hear the word stubborn.

C. The narrator has announced that a crime will take place.
D. The old man’s eyes described as pale blue.

Answer:

D. The old man’s eyes described as pale blue.

Explanation:

According to the excerpt from Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe, the narrator talks about how his senses were sharpened and not dulled as most people would imagine. He considered taking the old man's life, not because of some personal slight or to take his property, but because he wanted to end the man's life and rid himself of the pale blue eyes.
