Read this passage from “To Build a Fire.” Knowing how the story ends, what literary element or device is the author using in this passage?

When it is seventy-five below zero, a man must not fail in his first attempt to build a fire—that is, if his feet are wet. If his feet are dry, and he fails, he can run along the trail for half a mile and restore his circulation. But the circulation of wet and freezing feet cannot be restored by running when it is seventy-five below. No matter how fast he runs, the wet feet will freeze the harder.
All this the man knew. The old-timer on Sulphur Creek had told him about it the previous fall, and now he was appreciating the advice.

Answer 1

Answer:

Foreshadowing

Explanation:

Foreshadowing is a literary technique whereby an author provides a hint of what is to happen later in the story. At the end of the story, "To Build a Fire," the man who sojourned in the Yukon trail died in the cold. Foreshadowing occurred earlier in the passage when the old-timer on Sulphur Creek gave the advice to travel with a partner. It was as if he knew in advance that the man could die from the cold if circulation was not restored when the temperature was seventy-five below. Unfortunately, when the man was being frozen by the cold, he recalled that advice.

70. We each other one day while John a bookin the library and i down beside him a. Met / was reading / sat c. Meet / is reading / have sat b. Had met / was reading / had sat d. Will meet / reads / sat

Answers

This question seems to be incomplete. However, there is enough information to find the right answer.

Answer: a. Met / was reading / sat

We met each other one day while John was reading a book in the library and I sat down beside him.

Explanation:

Out of the options provided, only the chosen one correctly uses the verb tense for the missing words in the sentence: all the actions happened in the past.

Option c is incorrect because it uses the present tense (meet) and the past perfect (have sat) as if the act of sitting had happened before they met.  

Option b. is incorrect because both actions, meeting, and seating, are in the past perfect tense, so there is an action that should happen after that that is missing.

Option d. is incorrect because the act of meeting happens in the future.

terribly profound. Company was irksome to me when alone, I could fill my mind with the sights of heaven and earth; the voice of Henry soothed

insurmountable barrier placed between me and my fellow-men: this barrier was sealed with the blood of Willam and justine, and to reflect on

Radio Mullah puts in so much effort to discourage people from going to school?

please please help me please help me ​

Answers

Answer:

Because he wants to keep people under his rule and within the ideology he wants to impose.

Explanation:

Radio Mullah is an Islamic extremist, cited many times in the book "I am Malala" as one of the main harbingers of Taliban rule in Afghanistan. Malala claims that Radio Mullah had a radio show, where he presented highly conservative and extremist, unscientific, oppressive and incorrect concepts. He was strongly against education, especially for women, and was even capable of bombing schools and killing people who took a stand against him.

He knew that fighting education was the main weapon for him to be able to control the population and make everyone follow their will, because the lack of education made people believe in everything they heard and did not have the ability to question and opine against wrong things. As such, Radio Mullah knew that a population without eucation was easily manipulated and that was his goal.

"I am Malala" is the book that tells the story of Malala, the Muslim girl who fought the Taliban for the right to study.

"American cities are full of homeless people who do not have access to food, shelter, or restroom facilities."
"It is a shame that there are so many homeless people in our country; something should be done to help them."
"Humanitarian groups often try to assist homeless people by organizing food pantries and providing blankets and personal items to help the less fortunate of their community."
"Urban homeless people should receive services such as regular food donations, public restrooms, and sleeping facilities because it would improve life for everyone living in the city."

Answer:

I think it is C.

It is well written as well thought out. It tells us exactly what these humanitarian groups try to do to help. It's specific and it's a grabs your interest. In fact, I wonder where the author is going to go with that.

D has a should. Though emphatic, it does not make you want to read on. It's too dogmatic.

A Though correct it is kind of uninteresting.

B is kind of like D. It provides a direction without telling us what the direction is.

Hi. This question asks you to review a narrative you wrote, for that reason I can't answer it for you, but I'll show you how to answer it.

First you must write your story, not caring about the correct spelling of the words, but writing them the way you think is correct.

You should highlight the words you are in doubt if you spell them correctly and rewrite them on another sheet. In this sheet you will show not only the words that you had doubts about the correct spelling, but what is your doubt. Next, you must show the correct form that these words should be spelled.

Your question states that you must present the words that must have the first capital letter. Words that must have the first capital letter are those that present a person's name, the name of a place, or are written after a period.

For words that you don't know the correct spelling, you should look up that word in a dictionary, or a search engine like g00gle, to see the correct spelling.

Read the paragraph from The Hot Zone. C. J. knew that if people learned what this virus could do, there would be traffic jams heading out of Reston, with mothers screaming at television cameras, "Where are my children?" When he talked to the Washington Post reporters, he was careful not to discuss the more dramatic aspects of the operation. ("I thought it would not be a good idea to talk about space suits," he explained to me much later.) He was careful not to use scary military terms such as virus amplification, lethal chain of transmission, crash and bleed, or major pucker factor. The author most likely included this paragraph to explain some of the reasons for downplaying the seriousness of the situation. describe the ways in which people overreact whenever danger is suspected. persuade the reader that newspapers always blow things out of proportion. illustrate the idea that scientists frequently have to hide the truth from civilians.
