What role does ambiguity play in most flash fiction stories?

It makes the story uninteresting until its very last scene.
It requires the writer to provide a tragic or otherwise sad ending.
It requires readers to infer, or guess at, the story’s meaning.
It allows writers to provide a neat, clearly stated message.

Answers

Answer 1

It makes the story uninteresting until its very last scene.

Answer 2

Answer:

I think it is actually C. It required readers to infer, or guess at, the story's meaning.

Explanation:

This is some feedback my teacher gave me. "Ambiguity is the quality of not having a clearly defined meaning. For instance, an ambiguous detail is one that readers must interpret based on other clues in the story." And C matches that pretty well I think.

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.


Sugar was the connection, the tie, between slavery and freedom. In order to create sugar, Europeans and colonists in the Americas destroyed Africans, turned them into objects. Just at that very same moment, Europeans—at home and across the Atlantic—decided that they could no longer stand being objects themselves. They each needed to vote, to speak out, to challenge the rules of crowned kings and royal princes. How could that be? Why did people keep speaking of equality while profiting from slaves? In fact, the global hunger for slave-grown sugar led directly to the end of slavery. Following the strand of sugar and slavery leads directly into the tumult of the Age of Revolutions. For in North America, then England, France, Haiti, and once again North America, the Age of Sugar brought about the great, final clash between freedom and slavery.


Which sentence best states the authors' claim in this passage?


A. Economic demand for sugar led to political pressure to end enslavement.

B. The growing demand for sugar made the lives of enslaved people even worse.

C. Turning Africans into objects was important for the sugar industry to succeed.

D. Monarchies became increasingly strong and popular during the Age of Sugar.

2. More high school students are injured playing football than in any other extracurricular sport, but some athletes still want to play.

3. Football should be an extracurricular sport because it teaches teamwork; however, if athletes become injured, they are no longer part of a team.

In Antigone by Sophocles, Antigone is aware of the deadly consequences of burying her brother Polyneices against the king’s order. Yet she goes forward with it anyway because she can’t bear to let her brother's corpse rot and serve as food for scavenging birds. What theme of the play does her action reflect?

Answers

Answer: civil law versus morality

Explanation:

The theme of the play that is reflected by the action of Antigone is civil law versus morality.

Morality has to do with the principles regarding distinction between doing what is right and doing what is wrong. In this case, the fact that Antigone went against the order of the king and buried her brother as she couldn't bear seeing the corpse of her brother rot.

BOOM! a woman asks if he’s ok and helps him rise. she bring him to a table and gives him a free cherry pastry. his police friend asks him where he was at over the radio. as he responded with “i’m with a friend.” as he looks over at the woman. as he eats the pastry she asks, “would you like to know the recipe for this cherry pastry?” and as he responds a person outside yells. “AHHHH a thief!! they stole my purse!!” that’s when the officer says “gotta run, i’ll catch you later.”

Answer:

I went to see my friend, who works as a manager at a local restaurant. As I walked in, she led me to an empty table by the window. There was a person sitting at the counter. The woman customer was finishing up a cherry topped cake. I was watching the chef go to a wooden shelf and get some freshly baked muffins. The smell reminded me of my Mom's blueberry muffins recipe. As I was drinking my tea, I looked out the window and saw a policeman. He had just caught a thief robbing an old woman's purse. As I finish up my tea, I can't stop thinking about the sights, the sounds, and the smells.

What question will a reader who is unfamiliar with
scientific equipment most likely ask?
O What is a pipette and a concave slide?
O How long does the procedure take?
O Why do people prepare wet-
mount slides?
O What is the purpose of the paper towels?

Answers

Answer:

A). What is a pipette and a concave slide?

Explanation:

As per the question, the most likely question a reader unaware of the scientific equipment would ask would be that 'what is a pipette and a concave slide.' This is because he needs to know about what these equipment(Pipette and a Concave slide) are and their uses for understanding the procedure. Without knowing that a pipette is a small tube with an enlargement or bulb in the middle for transferring measured quantities of liquid and a concave slide is a microscopic slide used for examining comparatively thicker samples, they would not be able to either understand the process or follow it. Thus, option A is the correct answer.

The Black Beauty
The first place that I can well remember was a large pleasant
meadow with a pond of clear water in it. Some shady trees
leaned over it, and rushes and water-lilies grew at the deep
end. Over the hedge on one side, we looked into a ploughed
field, and on the other, we looked over a gate at our master's
house, which stood by the roadside. At the top of the meadow
was a plantation of fir trees, and at the bottom a running brook
overhung by a steep bank. Whilst I was young, I lived upon my
mother's milk, as I could not eat grass. In the day time, I ran
by her side, and at night I lay down close by her. When it was
hot, we used to stand by the pond in the shade of the trees, and
when it was cold, we had a nice warm shed near the plantation
As soon as I was old enough to eat grass, my mother started
to go out to work in the day time, and come back in the
evening. There were six young colts in the meadow beside me,
all older than I was; some were nearly as large as grown-up
horses. I used to run with them and had great fun; we used
to gallop together round and round the field, as fast as we
could. Sometimes we had a rather rough play, for they would
frequently bite and kick as well as gallop.
I wish you to pay attention to what I am going to say to
you. The colts who live here are very good colts; but they are cart-horse colts, and of course they have not learned manners
You have been well bred and are well born; your father has a
great name in these parts, and your grandfather won the cup
two years at the Newmarket races; your grandmother had the
sweetest temper of any horse I ever knew, and I think you have
never seen me kick or bite. I hope you will grow up gentle and
good, and never learn bad ways do your work with a good
will lift your feet up well when you trot, and never bite or kick
even in play
Thave never forgotten my mother's advice, I knew she was a
wise old horse, and our master thought a great deal of her. Her
name was Duchess, but he often called her Pet. Our master
was a good kind man. He gave us good food, good lodging
and kind words; he spoke as kindly to us as he did to his little
children: we all were fond of him, and my mother loved him
