The story "Games at Twilight" by Anita Desai is set in India on a hot summer day. Children are forced to stay indoors but are eager to go out. Which four words in the excerpt suggest this sense of suffocation?
It was still too hot to play outdoors. They had had their tea, they had been washed and had their hair brushed, and after the long day of confinement in the house that was not cool but at least a protection from the sun, the children strained to get out. Their faces were red and bloated with the effort, but their mother would not open the door, everything was still curtained and shuttered in a way that stifled the children, made them feel that their lungs were stuffed with cotton wool and their noses with dust and if they didn’t burst out into the light and see the sun and feel the air, they would choke

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

I'm pretty sure it's "that stifled the children".

Explanation:

Stifled means suffocated, and it's asking which four words suggest this sense of suffocation, so I think that one makes the most sense.

In sentence 10 (reproduced below), the writer wants to compare a specific difference between making pennies now and making pennies at an earlier time.
In 2001, it cost 0.79 cents to make a penny, but now, with metal costs increasing, the cost has changed in a noteworthy way.
Which of the following versions of the underlined text most effectively accomplishes this goal?
A. (as it is now)
B. the cost has soared to 1.8 cents per penny
C. economists worry that the penny is unsustainable
D. the United States Mint has looked into less expensive metals
E. the penny is made of only 2.5% copper

Answers

Answer:

B. the cost has soared to 1.8 cents per penny.

Explanation:

In the given sentence, the reproduction of the given sentence means changing the sentence or particular line into a more refined or better version. This will be in tune with maintaining the meaning of the replaced line or words while trying to 'change' it.

While the first part of the sentence provides the previous cost of making pennies, the second part is about the current cost. And in the given sentence, "the cost has changed in a noteworthy way" can be changed into "the cost has soared to 1.8 cents per penny" to make the point much clearer. This change will ensure that the readers know and understand the 'hike' in the cost of penny making, which also completes the comparison.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.

Brook states that the distance on the line is 4 units. Caleb states that the whole line does not have a distance because it continues on forever. Vivian states that the line is 6 units long. A number line goes from negative 8 to positive 8. A line with arrows as endpoints is above the line and contains points L, M, N. A closed circle appears at negative 6 and is labeled L. A closed circle appears at negative 2 and is labeled M. A closed circle appears at positive 4 and is labeled N. Which distance did Brook measure? Which distance did Vivian measure?

Answers

Hi. You forgot to show the image of the line this question refers to. This makes it difficult for your question to be answered. However, when searching for your question on the internet, I was able to find another question exactly like yours, which showed an image of the line. This line is in the image attached below. If that was your case, I hope this answer can help you:

Answer:

Brook was measuring the distance between L and M, while Vivian was measuring the distance between M and N.

Explanation:

You will be able to answer this question very simply, as you only need to count the units between every two points on the line. If you count the first unit after point L to the unit that marks point M, you will see that there are 4 units, as Brok noted. If you do the same thing between points M and N, you will see that there are 6 units of distance, as Vivian noted.

Answer: 1.) the distance between L and M  

2.) the distance between M and N

Jorge is factoring a quadratic expression. First he factors out the greatest common factor & then uses grouping.

Answers

Answer:

B. 6x^2 − 9x − 27

Explanation:

Here is the complete question :

Jorge is factoring a quadratic expression. First, he factors out the greatest common factor, and then he uses grouping. Which expression could be jorges expression?

A. 7x2 − 28

B. 6x2 − 9x − 27

C. 4x2 + 18x + 8

D. 24x2 + 2x

A quadratic equation is an equation that usually has a single variable and it is raised to the power of 2.

it is usually in the form : ax² + bx + c = 0

a, b,c are known numbers

x is unknown

looking through the options, it is only option b that satisfies the two steps Jorge carries out

1. he factors out the greatest common factor

6x2 − 9x − 27

this factor is 3. the equation then becomes 2x2 - 3x - 9

2, he uses grouping.

to group, determine the factors of 2x^2 x -9  = -18x^2 that adds up to -3x : they are -6x and +3x

grouping them now becomes : (6x^2 + 3x) (-6x -27)

Popcorn, which was first enjoyed by the people of Peru over five thousand years ago, is not only healthy but also quite delicious. The high rate of popcorn consumption among Americans supports this claim. Because popcorn is relatively high in nutritional value, is fairly inexpensive, and lends itself to a variety of cooking methods, it is one of the most popular American snack foods.

What are “O Dubinushka” and “Tortured and Enslaved”?

signs on the front gates of shops
Russian folk and revolutionary songs
terms to describe cold, icy rains
Russian picketers in the garment district

Answers

Answer:

Russian folk and revolutionary songs

Explanation:

In the excerpt of the book, "We shall not be Moved," we learn that the picketers sang, “O Dubinushka” and “Tortured and Enslaved” as they moved through the garment district in very cold weather. "O Dubinushka" is a song that was composed by Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov in 1905 during the Russian revolution. The title of the song in English means 'The little Oat Stick' and it tells the story of the revolution from the standpoint of a worker.

"Tortured and Enslaved" is another revolutionary song that describes the resilience of the people despite immense suffering.

It was a dark and shadowy night, nothing could be seen for miles ahead. Everything was plain; there were no trees and no houses nearby. The place was entirely deserted. Where had this wandering fellow gone to so late at night? Even he did not know the answer. Perhaps, everything was a sort of limbo, he had died and gone to nowhere.

However, something was off. This place of nowhere had an elegance to it. It was a place of night and a place where shadows roamed in peace. It was majestic, it was a place where ghost haunted and the dead were were at peace with themselves. Buried underneath the ground were bones, he knew that due to the fact that a voice in his head had told him and he was warned not to disturb their peace. This place where he was at had no tombsstones to remember the dead. There were no plants, not weeds growing from the ground, not even tumbleweeds passing by. This place was absolutely void. Where was he? He did not know. But, one thing was certain and that was that he lived.

“Where am I?” He would ask himself. He would pace around the endless acres of nothingness that was filled with shadows and ghosts until he saw a green light. He tried to run after the green light but the more he ran the farther it seemed. Until, he just gave up. Then, he looked around and it seemed to him that he was still in the same place as before, nothing has changed. When he got tired of standing he sat down and cried. “Where am I?” he cried. Yet, there was no one to console him. There was no God nor man or woman, or even animal to be by his side. He was all alone in a secluded place that seemed to have no end. He thought that maybe perhaps it was a haunted place that whoever enters can never go back to their original life. This thought made him feel the temptation to dig a grave for himself, and he did, with his bare hands. When he finished he laid in it and waited and once he found his flesh no longer chubby but instead sucked to the bone he took the pile of dirt that he withdrew from the ground to dig the grave and he… still in the grave began shoving the dirt within the hole he made and he submerged himself within the dirt and due to suffocation, he died.
