Answer:
There is no concrete evidence that Rip's encounter with the men in the mountains was part of his dream when he fell asleep while hunting in the mountains.
From the text, Rip is described as falling asleep and waking to hear a stranger call his name. It is possible that his encounter with the men on the mountains could be a dream.
Explanation:
Irving Washington's Rip Van Winkle is a short story about an easygoing man Rip Van Winkle who is a likable man but has to endure his wife's constant nagging and because of this, he leaves home often to avoid her.
He is a hardworking man who can hunt and fish but has bad luck with his farmland as it refused to yield produce.
He spends most of his time at the inn with other idle men but his wife still follows him there and nags him and the other men so he goes into the woods to hunt, with his dog Wolf and gun.
One day Rip goes high into the mountains to hunt squirrels, he gets tired and falls asleep. When he wakes, he hears a strange voice calling his name and he helps him carry his keg up a hill where he sees strange-looking men on Dutch clothes and he eventually has a drink with them and falls asleep.
When he wakes, he discovers that the men are no longer there, his beard is now a foot long, his gun is old and rusty and Wolf, his dog is no longer there.
Read the following passage:
"Time had not been kind to the abandoned farm. No one had looked after the place for years. Once their parents
died, the kids had drifted off to city jobs, one by one. The walls of the old barn sagged inward. Crisp red had
dimmed to pale pink. Wild daisies poked their heads through the broken windows of a rusting pickup. The
windmill still turned in the dry breeze but most of the blades had long since fallen off."
Identify the topic of the paragraph and what the author is saying about the topic. From that, find the stated main
idea.
Topic: buildings and tools
o What the author is saying about the topic need constant upkeep
Stated main idea: No one had loo he place for years.

Match the underlined word in each verse to its meaning in the context of the poem
the rhythm of a piece of poetry or music
a silly or foolish person
meaning, weight, or significance

(from "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard" by Thomas Gray)
5. "Where was heard the mingled measure. From the fountain and the caves."
(from "Kubla Khan" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge)
Answer:
burthen - meaning, weight, or significance
recompence - reward
loon - a silly of foolish person
rill - a small stream
measure - the rhythm of a piece of poetry or music
Explanation:
Burthen is an archaic form of spelling "burden". When we think of a burden, we think of something heavy, difficult to carry around. Therefore, burthen means "weight"
Recompence is more commonly spelled "recompense" nowadays. It is the same as reward.
A loon is a foolish or silly person. We can think of a "loony", a crazy or silly person, someone who does not think or see things the way others do.
A rill is, by definition, a small stream or brook. There is not much we can add here.
Finally, measure refers to the rhythm of a poem or a piece of music. We commonly refer to it by "meter" or simply "rhythm", depending on what we mean.

Choose a stanza from any poem, including those in this lesson. Write a paraphrase of those lines. Then compare the original stanza with the paraphrase. What has changed in the transition from poetry to prose?
Answer:
I love to write
Day and night
What would my heart do
But cry, sigh, and be blue
If I could not write
Paraphrase:
The (writer) loves to write! The writer would be very sad if they weren't able to write.
Comparison: While the Poem rhymes and used descriptive words to tell how sad the writer would be if they couldn't write (cry, sigh, be blue) the paraphrase just states clearly and simply the interpretation of the stanza.
Answer:
Here is the second stanza of "The Sparrow":
So birds of peace and hope and love
Come fluttering earthward from above,
To settle on life's window-sills,
And ease our load of earthly ills;
But we, in traffic's rush and din
Too deep engaged to let them in,
With deadened heart and sense plod on,
Nor know our loss till they are gone.
And here is a paraphrase of the stanza:
Peace, hope, and love are like birds that come fluttering down and sit upon our window sills. They try to draw our attention, but we ignore them because our lives are busy. We fail to notice that these elements are missing from our lives, but we regret that failure only when we realize that we have lost them.
The paraphrase does not have the same effect as the poem because it does not use the sound devices. It sounds like a flat statement of facts. However, the ideas gain clarity in the paraphrase.

The vapour pressure of pure benzene at a certain temperature is 0.850 bar. A non volatile, non electrolyte solid weighing 0.5 g is added to 39.0g of benzene. The vapour pressure of the solution then is 0.845 bar. What is the molecular mass of the solid substance
Answer:
The molar mass is 169g / mol.
Explanation:
To achieve this result you must consider the formula:
[(pº-p) / pº] = [na / (na + nb)]
This formula should be replaced by the values shown in the question as follows:
pº = 0.850 bar
p = 0.845 bar
To find the values of "na" and "nb", we will consider that the letter "m" represents the molecular mass of benzene that is equal to 78, so we have:
na = 0.5 / m; nb = 39/78 = 0.5
Now we can replace all values in the formula:
0.850-0.845 / 0.850 = (0.5 / m) / (0.5 / m) +0.5 =
0.5 / (0.5 = 0.5m) =
1/1 + m =
m = 0.850 / 0.005 - 1 = 169g / mol

Katherine Johnson reached for the stars long before she helped send humans into space. Born on August 26, 1918 in West Virginia, Johnson had a gift for numbers. As Johnson later described, she spent her life counting—counting the steps she walked, the dishes she washed. “Anything that could be counted, I did,” she once said. School came easily for Johnson, and she completed eighth grade by the age of 10. After that, she couldn’t continue learning locally because her county denied African American students access to secondary education. Johnson’s father, Joshua, moved the family 120 miles away so she could attend high school. By 18, she graduated with honors from West Virginia State College, receiving degrees in mathematics and French. She then went on to teach these subjects at a public school. After teaching for many years, one job posting changed the arc of her life. The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) was looking to hire women to fill unique positions. The job title: Computer. Based at Langley Research Center, these “human calculators” checked the math done by NACA’s male engineers and mathematicians. Johnson’s sharp intellect and resourcefulness were quickly recognized at Langley; she was promoted after only two weeks. Nonetheless, Johnson faced barriers at the agency. At the time, many workplaces weren’t integrated, and Johnson and her African American colleagues were segregated within an area of Langley named “West Computers”. Regardless, she steadfastly asked questions and made her voice heard. In 1958, NACA began to focus more on space travel, and the agency was newly dubbed the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Johnson’s career flourished at NASA. In 1961, Johnson plotted astronaut Alan Shepard’s path into space. Then in 1962, Johnson helped astronaut John Glenn to be the first American to orbit the Earth. Even though NASA had started using electronic computers, Johnson was the one to double-check the machines’ calculations before blast-off. Additionally, Johnson contributed to Apollo 11’s milestone 1969 moon landing. She also helped Apollo 13 return safely home after an equipment malfunction. Later in her career, Johnson worked on calculations for NASA’s space shuttles and satellites. Even with such stellar contributions, many people in America didn’t know Johnson’s name until long after her retirement. In 2016, writer Margot Lee Shetterly published Hidden Figures, a chronicle of Johnson and two of her fellow mathematicians’ work at NASA. Later that year, shetterly’s bestselling book was turned into a movie of the same name. Finally, the whole world saw the magnificent trajectory of Katherine Johnson’s career. Read the excerpt. “Even with such stellar contributions, many people in America didn’t know Johnson’s name until long after her retirement. In 2016, writer Margot Lee Shetterly published Hidden Figures, a chronicle of Johnson and two of her fellow mathematicians’ work at NASA.” Choose the two synonyms that have the same meaning as the word figures as it’s used in the title of Shetterly’s book. Choose 2 answers: (Choice A) A definitions (Choice B) B answers (Choice C) C numbers (Choice D) D questions (Choice E) E shapes (Choice F) F people
Answer:
Two Synonyms meaning "figures" as used in Shetterly Hidden Figures are:
1. (Choice C) C numbers
2. (Choice F) F people
Explanation:
Synonyms, for example, "figures," are words that bear similar meanings to other words. This implies that one can use the other words in place of the synonyms. For instance, figures can mean "numbers." In mathematical terms, a figure is a number. It can also mean "people," especially when used in a contextual text. One can write: "Eminent federal government figures and prominent people in town accompanied the scientists to the Observatory."

Why were meter and alliteration important poetic devices to 14th century
poets?
A. They helped poems stand out from others.
B. They lengthened the lines on the page.
C. They simulated natural conversation.
D. They made poems easier to memorize.
SUBMIT
The correct answer is D. They made poems easier to memorize.
Explanation:
In poems, alliteration refers to using words with the same consonant sound in a verse or multiple verses. This device makes the poem more memorable or easy to remember as the repetition forms a sound pattern. Also, by remembering which consonant sound is repeated it is easy to remember the words of each verse. Similarly, the use of the meter or a specific structure of verses (number of syllables in each verse and organization of stressed/unstressed syllables) makes the poem to be predictable and easy to remember. Moreover, these two features were more commonly used in poems during the 14th and 15th centuries as in this way the audience could better remember poems.
(1) Shipping along rivers is not as popular as it once was. (2) It is done by air and trucking on interstates. (3) Rivers still provide viable routes for shipping, but it is no longer the most feasible method for moving materials. (4) As rivers declined in popularity, other shipping methods took their place as the best ways to ship merchandise. Which sentence lacks a logical transition?
Answer:
3. Rivers still provide viable routes for shipping, but it is no longer the most feasible method for moving materials.
Explanation:
For a sentence to have a logical transition, there must be an accurate subject-verb or subject-pronoun agreement. It as a pronoun can be used as a subject or object in a sentence. When It is used to describe a subject, the subject is usually in the singular form. For example,
1. It is a book.
The sentence, 'Books are a good source of earning, but it is going extinct' is not correct because there is no agreement between the subject which is in the plural form and the pronoun.
So the third sentence should be worded as 'Rivers still provide viable routes for shipping, but they are no longer the most feasible method for moving materials'.

What is your response to Dadaist Marcel Duchamp’s Fountain, which he called a “ready-made.” Is it art?
1. Read the short personal essay by George Orwell.2. Answer the following questions. _How are the Europeans presented in this story? What are they like?_How are the Burmese presented? what are they like? _who do you empathize the most with? _ Describe the presence of prejudice and racism in the story events as well as Orwell's narration(wording choice).
Answer:
"Shooting an Elephant"
The Europeans are presented as imperialists who think that they are in control not knowing that they have lost their will power to the natives, whom they think they dominate. The Europeans are described like masked people who have grown to resemble the masks they wear with ingrained habits and prejudices.
The Burmese are presented as idle, idiotic, and lacking the coercive power necessary to be in obvious control of their lives, especially since they have no physical weapons. However, what they lack in physical weapons, they possess in abundance with the power of the will. This implies that their lack of physical weapons does not make them powerless in the real sense. They have will. With it, they control the Europeans who weld physical power.
I empathize mostly with the Europeans. Their portrayal by George Orwell is very sympathetic. By trying to impose their authority on others, they limit their ability to even control their own lives. They must dance to the music of the crowd because of the expectations placed on them by the natives. The same is true of all rulers who have refused to embrace leadership principles, thinking that they are in charge of the people, not realizing that it is the people that control them with their crowd expectations.
Europeans are not accepted by others. Europeans do not accept others. Each tribe thinks highly of themselves and belittles the others. But, we are all human beings, created in God’s image and likeness. The moment we overcome our prejudices, it is the same moment that we are liberated to fulfil God’s mandate, “to exercise dominion over the earth.” This dominion is not the domination of other people, but the dominion of the elements that make up the earth, the forces, and the evils that attempt to take over the earth that God has created for the welfare of human beings. We must collaborate, cherish each other, and find joy in our diversity as humans. We must act together in love. Conclusively, George Orwell’s observation is true of all human beings, “when the white man (read, “any class of humanity”) turns tyrant, it is his own freedom that he destroys.”
Explanation:
George Orwell's 1936 short story titled: "Shooting an Elephant" describes his experiences as a police officer in Burma. In it, he denounces British imperialism as lacking common sense. Europeans are made a laughing stock of by the natives they try to rule. According to George Orwell, Imperialism and colonialism are evil as no good has come from the imposition of another's will on others.
