Answer:
Woolf's word choices that suggests that Oliver is preoccupied with how others see him is "looked down"
Below is an excerpt:
"...And from the middle window he looked down upon the glossy roofs of fashionable cars packed in the narrow straits of Piccadilly."
This suggests that he had a sense of how others see him. The same word choices that revealed that he is preoccupied with how others see him is also seen in line 16 of "The Duchess And The Jeweller":
"...and he would look down at his legs, so shapely in their perfect trousers; at his boots; at his spats. They were all shapely, shining;..."

What is a short-term benefit for a company to regularly keeping wages low?
Employees find high job satisfaction.
Companies can expect a high turn-over.
Employees will become demoralized.
The company can keep costs to a minimum.
Answer:
The company can keep costs to a minimum.
Explanation:
This is the advantage that such a strategy would have for a company in the short-term. A company that regularly keeps wages low is likely to save money initially. However, this strategy is not a successful one in the long term. Such a company would most likely have employees who are unhappy or unsatisfied with their job. It would also lead to a high turn-over due to employees being demoralized.

Explanation:
ESSAY ON THE LIFE OF MILES DAVIS
Miles Davis, undoubtedly was born in a time marked by racism, although he was characterized by being a genius with the trumpet, he was a victim of racism, yet Miles with that daring personality and with that spirit of leadership that characterized him, He did not prevent those events from discouraging him from continuing to play, from continuing to create melodies with his trumpet that reached the hearts of all kinds of people regardless of their race, color, or religion, Miles through his music reflected that desire for equality for all within a nation that resisted to tolerate and give freedom of expression. That is why Miles today is remembered not only as a great ingenuity that opened the way for other people to also enter music. Miles Davis was the dominant force in jazz for at least thirty-five years. He listened, touched, and sought his own perspective; his gaze was always focused on the present and the future, never on the past. He argued that music must change (like the world) to maintain its significance. He never stood still, he never tamed, he never sought his comfort space; was constantly being reborn. Like every superior artist, with each change he left behind one style or way of working to face another; In this way he gained new followers and lost others, gained new accolades and new detractors. And none of it mattered to him.
Between 1975 and 1980, Miles stopped playing to deepen and ultimately abandon his brutal cocaine addiction. At the end of that period, in a self-taught and almost therapeutic way, to finish cleaning his body and mind of the drug intake that he maintained for almost four decades, he took up the brush and devoted himself to reflecting his thoughts on the canvas. What started as a hobby became a true passion for the musician. He took classes in New York with Jo Gelbard, with whom he developed a very good and sincere relationship; in fact, she accompanied him in his last days.
Miles's routine included painting in the morning for about five hours, then practicing with his instrument for a couple of hours, boxing, and finally composing and recording. “Painting for me is therapeutic. It keeps my mind busy with something while I'm not playing. " Very few of his paintings were exhibited during his lifetime, and it was only after his death that the more than one hundred works by Miles began touring galleries and museums around the world in their own right. At his last European concert in Paris in 1991, he played against the background of one of his large paintings.

RL9-10.4 Which of the following is an example of Figurative language
Answer: D
Explanation:
Which of the following best describes how the narrator describes nature, especially the cold?AThe narrator describes the cold as a pervasive, almost personified force.BThe narrator describes nature constantly changing and unpredictable.CThe narrator describes nature, even the dog, as indifferent to the struggles of the man.DThe narrator describes the cold as merely an element that can be easily conquered by men and fire.
This question is in reference to the short story "To Build a Fire", by Jack London.
Answer:
The options best suited for the way the narrator describes nature and the cold is:
C. The narrator describes nature, even the dog, as indifferent to the struggles of the man.
Explanation:
"To Build a Fire" is a short story by author Jack London in which a man learns a most valuable lesson at a very high cost. The main character ignores how powerful nature is, thinking too much of his own skills. He is new to the winter at the Yukon region and naive enough to forget his own weaknesses as a human being.
The narrator in the story makes it clear that nature is not concerned with man. Nature has no mind, it simply is, in a powerful manner. It is man who wishes to conquer nature but to no avail. Throughout the story, the man thinks to himself that "it is certainly cold". That's it. Simply put, no exaggeration, no personification.
The dog that accompanies the man, for instance, is merely confused by the man's lack of fear. The dog understands danger better than the man. Notice that it is indifferent toward this man. What concerns it is survival. The same goes for nature. It is relentless, unstoppable. The cold is still cold, even if it kills someone:
Never in the dog’s experience had it known a man to sit like that in the snow and make no fire. As the evening grew darker, its eager longing for the fire mastered it. [...] Later, the dog howled loudly. And still later it moved close to the man and caught the smell of death. This made the animal back away. A little longer it delayed, howling under the stars that leaped and danced and shone brightly in the cold sky. Then it turned and ran along the trail toward the camp it knew, where there were the other food providers and fire providers.

Read the excerpt from A Black Hole is NOT a Hole.
However, near a black hole, gases and dust and stars encounter its tug. Some things may be hurtling by so fast they won't get pulled into the black hole. Other things may not be as swift. They will be drawn in.
Closer and closer, the tugging force gets stronger and stronger. Close enough, the black hole no longer acts like a whirlpool.
With a whirlpool, there's always a fast-enough fish—or a fast-enough something—that moves so quickly it won't be pulled all the way into the center.
Not so with a black hole! Within a certain distance the black hole's power is so strong, nothing is fast enough to zip away.
What is being compared or contrasted in this excerpt?
A. A comparison between the power of a star and the power of a whirlpool is being made.
B. A contrast between the power of a star and the power of a whirlpool is being made.
C. A comparison between the power of a black hole and the power of a whirlpool is being made.

Hey!!
Here's your answer:
A negative sentence is a sentence that states that something is false. In English, we create negative sentences by adding the word 'not' after the auxiliary, or helping, verb. An example of an auxiliary verb is the helping verb 'be.' There are different forms that 'be' takes, including 'am,' 'is,' 'are,' 'was,' and 'were.'
For example:
1.She is not happy.
2.They were not playing football.

Read the passage.
Our region has experienced a record drought this year. The water level in the local reservoir has dropped by several feet. As a result, Councilman Garcia is proposing a water ban this summer. The ban would limit how often people can water their yards. There are several ways this ban will be effective.
To improve the argument that the ban will be effective, what would be the best fact to add?
a fact about Councilman Garcia
a fact about the history of the region
a fact about the impact of the drought
a fact about the creation of the reservoir
Answer:
To improve the argument that the ban will be effective,the best fact to addwould be:
a fact about the impact of the drought
Explanation:
Two reasons are backing this answer, in the first place to make aware people we need to provide arguments that are meaningful for the topic. Our topic is the droughts' impact because as a response to them Councilman Garcia proposed a strategy. Thus, we need to justify Councilman Garcia's proposal. And to let people know why they need it, we need to explain to them the impact of the drought. So they could accept it. In the second place, it is all about convincing them we have the correct point of view and we will only achieve that by providing evidence of it,
