We Lived Happily During the War

And when they bombed other people’s houses, we
protested
but not enough, we opposed them but not
enough. I was
in my bed, around my bed America
was falling: invisible house by invisible house by invisible house.

In the sixth month
of a disastrous reign in the house of money
in the street of money in the city of money in the country of money,
our great country of money, we (forgive us)
lived happily during the war.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

his behavior is not careful and he doesn't care about he things in his apartment

The one character trait that has to be exhibited by Patrick is careless. Hence, Option A is correct.

What is character?

Characters in fiction are individuals or other beings who appear in stories. It is possible to distinguish between a "real" and "fictional" character depending on whether the character is wholly imaginary or is based on a real-life person.

A person's character can be used to describe their personality. As an illustration, if someone is described as having a peculiar character, they actually mean this. He is such a wonderful character because of his courage and tenacity.

Our character makes us who we are. Therefore, we frequently assess someone's character when passing judgment on them. When Kaitlin arrived at Patrick's apartment, she looked around and noticed a number of drink cans that were only halfway full.

As well as some cooked chicken breasts that were stale in a skillet in the kitchen. Along with the fact that Patrick wasn't home, she also observed that all of the lights and televisions were on.

Therefore, option A  is correct.

Read the scenario. A group of four friends are in class together. They are all members of the school band. After class, one member of the group asks the others if they want to discuss where to have their next practice. All four members decide this is a good idea. Two of the friends suggest their houses for the practice. All members of the group vote on where to have the practice. Which statement best describes the discussion? It is an informal discussion because the people could participate without preparing in advance. It is an informal discussion because the members are using diction appropriate to the topic. It is a formal discussion because the members voted on where to have the practice. It is a formal discussion because the conversation is taking place in a classroom.

Answers

Answer:

It is an informal discussion because the people could participate without preparing in advance.

Explanation:

An informal discussion is one that takes place without proper planning. This type of discussion is carried out suddenly to resolve situations without major impacts. None of the members of the informal discussion were submitted to rules, or needed to study and prepare for the discussion, as it ends quickly and only needs simple and direct answers. An example of this can be seen in the question above, where a group of friends quickly decide where they can rehearse for the school band. This discussion established between them was carried out without planning or regulations. In addition to being completed quickly and not having a big impact. This succeeds in proving that this situation is an example of informal discussion.

The giant drank it with pleasure and asked Odysseus what his name was, and with that Odysseus cleverly said "Nobody, My name is Nobody."  He then dunked the stake into the fire and threw it in the giant's one eye. The giant screamed and when his brothers heard they asked who was hurting him, and he screamed, "Nobody! Nobody is hurting me! My brothers help!" With that they left, thinking he was fine. the next morning the giant lifted the heavy door to let his sheep out, and Odysseus and his men rode under the rams and sheep for freedom at last.

When did Daisy find out Gatsby lived near her

Answers

Answer:

Daisy finds out Gatsby lives near her in Chapter 5, after she and Gatsby are reunited at Nick's house.

Explanation:

"The Great Gatsby" is a novel by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940). The story revolves around themes such as the depravity of the American society and the corruption of the American dream.

The story's narrator is Nick. His cousin, Daisy, is now married to a millionaire, Tom. However, five years before the story begins, she fell in love with Jay Gatsby, a young and poor soldier. Now, Gatsby too is a millionaire, and he has bought the mansion across the bay from Daisy's to be close to her.

Daisy does not know Gatsby lives near her. She only finds out about it in Chapter 5. Gatsby purposefully befriends Nick and asks him to invite Daisy to his (Nick's) house for tea. When Daisy comes, Gatsby appears. After a moment's confusion, they reconnect, and Gatsby invites her over to his place. This is the moment when Daisy realizes Gatsby lives next door to Nick and across the bay from herself.

Which excerpts from Queen Elizabeth's Response to Parliament's Request That She Marry rely on a rhetorical appeal to logos to persuade her audience that even if she produced an heir it would not guarantee England's prosperity or safety? Select two options.

A. I give you all my hearty thanks for the good zeal and loving care you seem to have.
B. You may well assure yourselves, my meaning is not to determine any thing.
C. I always continued in this determination, although my youth and words may seem to some hardly to agree together, yet is it most true.
D. The realm shall not remain destitute of any heir that may be a fit governour, and peradventure more beneficial to the realm.
E. For though I be never so careful of your well-doing, and mind ever so to be, yet may my issue grow out of kind, and become perhaps ungracious.

please answer if you confirmed actually got it correct on test.

Answers

Answer:D. The realm shall not remain destitiute of any heir that may be a fit governour, and peradventure more beneficial to the realm.

E. For though I be never so careful of your well doing and mind ever so be, yet may my issue grow out of kind and perhaps become ungracious.

Explanation:

From the selected options, while Queen Elizabeth is mindful of the need for a royal heir, she states any offer spring by her will not prevent calamities upon England.

The two excerpts from Queen Elizabeth's Response to Parliament's Request are in options D & E. Hence, Options (D) & (E) are correct.

Queen Elizabeth asserts that the realm will not be left without a suitable heir who can govern and potentially benefit the country.

By emphasizing the availability of capable successors, she implies that the mere act of producing an heir does not guarantee England's prosperity or safety.

This logical reasoning challenges the assumption that her marriage and producing an heir are necessary for the welfare of the realm.

Queen Elizabeth employs logos by stating that even if she is diligently concerned about the well-being of her people and intends to continue doing so, there is a possibility that her issue (offspring) could deviate from expected behavior or become ungracious.

Thus, this line of reasoning suggests that simply having an heir does not guarantee the desired outcome for England's future.

How does the description "Careless she is with artful care, / Affecting to seen unaffected" characterize the women in the poem?

Answers

Answer:

The description characterizes women as sneaky and malicious beings who act conscientiously to deceive those around them.

Explanation:

The lines presented in the above question are from the poem "Amoret" written by William Congreve, where he makes constant use of paradox to show the difference in how women act and how they really are. According to the poem, women act in a naive, shy, and careless way to convey an image of fragility and enchant those around them, however all these actions are coldly planned in a malicious and sneaky way, as women are the opposite of that.

Answers

Hi. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, and I will try to help you as best I can.

To answer this question, you will need the text it is related to. As stated in the question, you must present two sentences where the author is reflecting on the experiences he has had. In this case, you will need to find, within the text, the moments when the author shows thoughts about his experiences, where he presents what he learned and how these experiences were positive or negative for his life and how this contributed to the story that it's counting, that is, you shouldn't look for the experiences themselves, but how they impacted the author.

Passage: The apathy which seemed to take possession of some of the men at the frustration of their hopes was soon dispelled. Parties were sent out daily in different directions to look for seals and penguins. We had left, other than reserve sledging rations, about 110 lbs. of pemmican, including the dog-pemmican, and 300 lbs. of flour. In addition there was a little tea, sugar, dried vegetables, and suet. I sent Hurley and Macklin to Ocean Camp to bring back the food that we had had to leave there. They returned with quite a good load, including 130 lbs. of dry milk, about 50 lbs. each of dog-pemmican and jam, and a few tins of potted meats. When they were about a mile and a half away their voices were quite audible to us at Ocean Camp, so still was the air.

We were, of course, very short of the farinaceous element in our diet. The flour would last ten weeks. After that our sledging rations would last us less than three months. Our meals had to consist mainly of seal and penguin; and though this was valuable as an anti-scorbutic, so much so that not a single case of scurvy occurred amongst the party, yet it was a badly adjusted diet, and we felt rather weak and enervated in consequence.
