Answers

Answer 1

One can find the elements of magical realism within Julio Cortazar's short story, "The House Taken Over."

The author chose to describe two siblings, who lived an isolated life, in their Argentine ancestral home.

The siblings' unrealistic choices to remain unmarried and live off the family farm's income evokes the hubris of extraordinary plenitude without purpose.   What becomes worrisome is that they did not find any fulfillment in their idle consumption of French literary works and practiced perfectionism in cloth knitting.  

They lived a life of mystery and fear, remaining defenseless amidst alien invasion of their only home.  Without question or thought, they finally abandoned the house out of undefinable suspicion that the aliens, who had earlier occupied half of the house, had finally taken over the whole house.

C. Talking it out
D. Reflective listening

Answers

Answer:

B. Brainstorming solutions

As a professional critic of life and letters, my principal business in the world is that of manufacturing platitudes for tomorrow, which is to say, ideas so novel that they will be instantly rejected as insane and outrageous by all right thinking men, and so apposite and sound that they will eventually conquer that instinctive opposition, and force themselves into the traditional wisdom of the race. I hope I need not confess that a large part of my stock in trade consists of platitudes rescued from the cobwebbed shelves of yesterday, with new labels stuck rakishly upon them. This borrowing and refurbishing of shop-worn goods, as a matter of fact, is the invariable habit of traders in ideas, at all times and everywhere. It is not, however, that all the conceivable human notions have been thought out; it is simply, to be quite honest, that the sort of men who volunteer to think out new ones seldom, if ever, have wind enough for a full day's work. The most they can ever accomplish in the way of genuine originality is an occasional brilliant spurt, and half a dozen such spurts, particularly if they come close together and show a certain co-ordination, are enough to make a practitioner celebrated, and even immortal. Nature, indeed, conspires against all such genuine originality, and I have no doubt that God is against it on His heavenly throne, as His vicars and partisans unquestionably are on this earth.

D. Forest
SUBMIT

Answers

Answer:

its d forest

Explanation:

The type of setting in which the characters are most likely to lose their innocence is, island.

What is innocence?

Innocence means the quality of being pure.

Because when a character is trapped on an island with a very limited amount of resources for their survival, the character starts to lose their innocence as they get experience of pain and suffering, which reframes their perspective towards their lives. Thus, the type of setting in which the characters are most likely to lose their innocence is an island.

Hence the correct option is, B. Island

“In separate columns on a sheet of paper write a complete subject and the completepredicate of these words”

1.urban sprawl harms there habitat
2. Growing families want bigger houses and yards

Answers

In the first sentence the subject is "urban sprawl" and the rest of the sentence is the predicate. In the second sentence, the subject is "Growing families" and the rest of the sentence is the predicate.

The subject of a sentence is the term that suffers or provokes the action of the verb of the sentence, while the predicate is all the terms that deny or affirm something about the subject.

In this case, it is important that you know which term is the verb of each sentence, as this term is essential for the subject to be found.

The verb is the term that indicates an action, or a state of the individual. In the two sentences presented above, the verbs are "to harm" and "to want."

Knowing which term is the verb of the sentence, you can find the subject and predicate as follows:

To find the subject, ask who is causing or suffering the action of seeing.In the first sentence: Who is harming the habitat? Who is harming the habitat is urban expansion. In this case, urban expansion is the subject of the sentence.In the second sentence: Who wants bigger houses and yards? Growing families. Hence, growing families are the subject of the sentence.To find the predicate, identify what is being said about the subject of each sentence.In the first sentence: What is urban expansion doing? It's harming the habitat.In the second sentence: what do growing families want? They want bigger houses and yards.
