Commonlit: 'The emperor's new clothes'

PART A: What is the meaning of the word "swindlers" as it is used in paragraph 2?

A Traveling people who weave clothes

B Magicians who weave magical clothes

C Scammers who con people for money

D Spies who lie for information​

Answers

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

Finishing the story, we see that the "weavers" weren't honest, and therefore that cancels the option of A. They certainly are not magical so that cancels B. They are not spies, I believe they are self-employed, so the only option is C, which is true. The excerpt also includes the "They let it be known" and not "It was known".

Hope this helps! :)

The Governor,

Ocean State.

Dear sir,

I am writing this email to you to inform you about the unemployment of the youth in the community.

The youth constitutes about 55% of the entire population and it is saddening that most of them are unemployed. After the completion of their education, they are left on the street by wandering.

This has led to the increase in crime rate because most of them has resorted to internet fraud, robbery and kidnapping. The increase in crime rate has caused unrest and lack of peace.

In conclusion, I want to implore you to please encourage both indigenous and foreign investors to establish their company in our community in order to create more employment opportunities.

Yours sincerely,

Youth leader.

We can infer that gatsby most likely bought his home in west egg because why

Answers

Answer:

Gatsby likely bought his home in West Egg because he can be closer to Daisy Buchanan.

Explanation:

F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" revolves around the story of Jay Gatsby and his desire to be reunited with his former girl friend Daisy Buchanan, even though she had already been married to another man. The book also revolves around themes of social class, wealth, lost American dream, love, marriage, etc.

Though narrated by Nick Carraway, the neighbor of Gatsby and Daisy's cousin, the story's main protagonist is Jay Gatsby. While Daisy resides in East Egg, the wealthier part of the city, Nick and Jay's houses are situated on West Egg, the 'less fashionable part of the city. And Jay Gatsby's most likely reason for purchasing his home in West Egg seems to be that it will enable him to be closer to Daisy. This particular location is right across the bay from the Buchanan’s house.

Why does Reldresal believe that his people face "the danger of an invasion" from outside? Cite specific evidence from the text to support your answer.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

This question concerns the novel "Gulliver's Travels" by Jonathan Swift.

Reldresal is the principal secretary of Lilliput, one of the strange lands where the main character Gulliver ends up at. Lilliput is inhabited by people who are less than 6 inches tall. Lilliputians spend most of their time discussing trivial matters, and their sense of justice is quite odd.

According to Reldresal, Lilliput faces the possibility of an invasion by Blefuscu, which is also inhabited by tiny people. Lilliput and Blefuscu have engaged in quite a dangerous argument as to whether an egg should be broken on its small side or the large side to be eaten. Both peoples are clearly worried with petty issues. The evidence taken from the book is the following:

Lilliput is "threatened with an invasion from the island of Blefuscu, which is the other great empire of the universe." Blefuscu has "equipped a numerous fleet, [who] are just preparing to make a descent upon us."

Can someone please write a argumentative essay (IT DOSENT HAVE TO BE LONG AT ALL) on why you agree with Operation Migration in the book of Rethinking the Wild

Answers

Answer:

Summary Of Rethinking The Wild By Christopher Solomon Essay

1530 Words7 Pages

Humanity co-exists with nature in a relationship that periodically shifts between symbiotic and parasitic. We maintain this relationship in order to survive. In exchange, we carefully monitor how our behavior alters the natural environment and affects those living within it. This responsibility is the price we pay for our species’ sentience and dominance. To help fulfill our duty, America established the 1954 Wilderness Act in hopes of becoming passive “guardians” of nature instead of encroaching “gardeners.” However, the Wilderness Act has failed. In his article, “Rethinking the Wild”, Christopher Solomon questions the effectiveness of the law and correctly concludes that, after fifty years of dormancy, mankind must take an active role in environmental protection, the role of the gardener. Though critics may argue that the passivity of the “guardian” should be maintained, realistically, little can be done to preserve the environment when we refuse to do anything. Because mankind has a greater stake in the wilderness than we realize, we must assume a proactive role in protecting the wilderness out of respect for nature and our own ethical standards.

Boundaries and Investments

Assume for the sake of our argument that nature holds no intrinsic value. Why, then, is the wilderness worth protecting? Truthfully, the wilderness can be a valuable indicator of the planet’s overall health, which is not easily gauged in industrialized and populated areas due to human influence.

The perimeter of a photograph is 34 inches. It is 10 inches long. How wide is it?
inches

Answers

Answer:

7 inches

Explanation:

                                7

                  10                     10

                              7

10 plus 10 is 20

34-20 is 14

14  divided by 2 is 7

Answer:

7 inches

Explanation:

Assuming that the photograph takes a rectangular shape, we are given the length, which is 10 inches. The formula for calculating perimeter is l + l + w + w. So, we know that two sides, which are the opposite sides, are congruent and that two sides of this photograph are 10 inches. Now, we have accounted for 20 of the total 34 inches and only need to solve for the remaining 14 inches. Since the sides will be congruent, we simply half 14 and find that the width is 7 inches.

ASAP!!!!! How did Hitler become known throughout Germany?
Why were the Italian people unhappy with the Treaty of Versailles?
Why did Italy face serious problems at the conclusion of WWI?
How did Mussolini rise to power?
How did Mussolini try to restore order in Italy?

Answers

Answer: 1. Adolf Hitler was appointed chancellor of Germany in 1933 following a series of electoral victories by the Nazi Party. He was one of the most powerful and notorious dictators of the 20th century. Hitler capitalized on economic woes, popular discontent and political infighting to take absolute power in Germany.

2. Most Italians believed that Italy had been treated very badly at Versailles. 460,000 Italians had died in the war, Italy had not been given the land that had been promised at the Secret Treaty of London and Italy was heavily in debt, mostly because of the USA.

3.  Italy faced unemployment, a decline in trade, rising taxes, and a weak and divided government.

4/5. He advocated the emergence of a dictator. Mussolini established a force called the fasci di combattimento (“fighting bands”), which is a group of fighters bound together by ties as close as those that secured the fasces of the lictors—the symbols of ancient Roman authority. Fascism was created and its symbol was devised. The Fascist movement grew larger in power and seized ideas of nationalism and anti-Bolshevism, Mussolini began to gain power at national level. He promised to restore order
