The knocking ceased suddenly, although the echoes of it were still in the house. He heard the chair drawn back and the door opened.

The street lamp flickering opposite shone on a quiet and deserted road.

In the fall the war was always there, but we did not go to it any more. It was cold in the fall in Milan and the dark came very early. Then the

O What was once just an attractive aquarium fish has recently become one of the biggest menaces in the Atlantic
O The lionfish was accidentally introduced into the Atlantic Ocean in the 1990s.
O Because it has no natural predators, it has adapted quickly to its new home
The lionfish now threatens to destroy native fish populations in the Atlantic, Caribbean, and Gulf of Mexico.

Answers

Hey There!!

The answer to this is: When reading this, we saw how this lion fish was put into the Atlantic, and therefore, there's actually one thing that is actually something that we would want to consider, and that would actually indicate that it would be our answer.

Let's take notice in the paragraph on how the following sentence shows that this would be a total accident, and that this animal was putted in this location not by purpose, but by accident, and therefore, this was the actual lead on why humans are at fault for the lion fish problem.

The lionfish was accidentally introduced into the Atlantic Ocean in the 1990s.

This would be your answer, and this would be why it would be that they have adapted very quickly to their homes and all the they have now have.

Your answer: The lionfish was accidentally introduced into the Atlantic Ocean in the 1990s.

happens to a person's sense of

a
larger group?


A It shuts down.

B It grows weaker.

C It grows stronger.

D It remains the same.

Answers

Answer:

A its shuts down

Explanation:

Great leaders tap into the needs and fears we all share. ... At the same time, she needs to find ways for individuals to grow. ... Squeeze the wrong one, and the person may well shut down.

According to the article, a person's sense of individuality shuts down when that person follows a larger group, as shown in option A.

We can arrive at this answer because:

This article shows how following the thinking of a large group can be harmful to an individual's individuality.This is because the thought not shared by a large group prevents a person's logical thinking and personal assessment of ideas and concepts.This harms individuality and prevents the individual from perceiving incorrect thoughts and negative attitudes that the group is carrying out.

In other words, following the ideas of a large group prevents the person from being a rational being and from using their mental abilities to make important decisions.

what evidence is there that Rip’s encounter with the men in the mountains was not just part of a dream that he had when he fell asleep while hunting in the mountains?

Answers

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.

Tedla replied that he just came back from his holiday in Nekemte

Betra then asked if he went to Shambu and Tedla replied that it was his first trip. He said he could show Betra some pictures tomorrow if he was free.

Betru replied that he would arrange some things tomorrow but he was free tonight.

Tedla suggested he comes to his place and asked what time they should meet.

Betru said he would be there by eight and asked if it was alright?

Read the following letter carefully before you choose your answer. The following is a letter written by an already established Voltaire to a young and newly published author, M. Helvetius, in 1739. (1) My dear friend—the friend of Truth and the Muses—your Epistle is full of bold reasoning in advance of your age, and still more in advance of those craven writers who rhyme for the book-sellers and restrict themselves within the compass of a royal censor, who is either jealous of them, or more cowardly than they are themselves. (2) What are they but miserable birds, with their wings close clipped, who, longing to soar, are for ever falling back to earth, breaking their legs! You have a fearless genius, and your work sparkles with imagination. I much prefer your generous faults to the mediocre prettinesses with which we are cloyed. If you will allow me to tell you where I think you can improve yourself in your art, I should say: Beware, lest in attempting the grand, you overshoot the mark and fall into the grandiose: only employ true similes: and be sure always to use exactly the right word. (3) Shall I give you an infallible little rule for verse? Here it is. When a thought is just and noble, something still remains to be done with it: see if the way you have expressed it in verse would be effective in prose: and if your verse, without the swing of the rhyme, seems to you to have a word too many—if there is the least defect in the construction—if a conjunction is forgotten—if, in brief, the right word is not used, or not used in the right place, you must then conclude that the jewel of your thought is not well set. Be quite sure that lines which have any one of these faults will never be learnt by heart, and never re-read: and the only good verses are those which one re—reads and remembers, in spite of oneself. There are many of this kind in your "Epistle"—lines which no one else in this generation can write at your age such as were written fifty years ago. (4) Do not be afraid, then, to bring your talents to a Parnassus1; they will undoubtedly redound to your credit because you never neglect your duties; for them: they are themselves very pleasant duties. Surely, those your position demand of you must be very uncongenial to such a nature as yours. They are as much routine as looking after a house, or the housebook of one's steward. Why should you be deprived of liberty of thought because you happen to be a farmer-general2? Atticus was a farmer-general, the old Romans were farmers-general, and they thought—as Romans. Go ahead, Atticus. 1A sacred mountain in Greece, known as the home of the Muses of Greek poetry 2A privileged member of French society who collected taxes on behalf of the king Paragraph 2 could be used to support which of the following claims about the writer's tone? His tone when discussing Helvetius's work is obsequious and flattering. His tone when discussing Helvetius's work is patronizing and demeaning. His tone when discussing the works of others is critical and analytical. His tone when discussing the works of others is deferential and complimentary.

Answers

Answer: A) His tone when discussing Helvetius's work is obsequious and flattering.

Explanation: The writer uses a very distinctive tone to convey the message. He is quite critical about other's work, but focuses more on over-praising Helvetius's art, emphasizing that his rank did not matter and that his way of portraying feelings is naturally genius. He is using an obsequious and flattering tone, demonstrating his admiration and subtle constructive criticism for a newly published author.
