Answer:
The two statements which best identify the central ideas seem to be:
1. Race is taught rather than born into someone.
3. Comparison is a helpful tool for framing one's identity.
Explanation:
Dalton Conley (1969) is a sociologist who grew up being a white boy in a community of African American and Hispanic people.
In the excerpt we are analyzing here, Conley explains how race is something that we learn from society. For instance, when he was a child, he wanted to have a sister so badly that he kidnapped a black girl in the playground. As a child, he didn't even know or care about the fact that he and that little girl belonged to different races. It was only later that he learned that he was white and that it meant he was privileged.
He also explains that comparison is what helps us frame things as well as ourselves:
"There is an old saying that you never really know your own language until you study another. It's the same with race and class."
It is through comparison that we find similarities as well as differences. Conley, for instance, compares his experience as a white person to that of Europeans and finds that they are quite different.
Which key details does Orwell include to support the central idea that Snowball uses his language skills to manipulate the other animals
Answer:
B). "After much thought Snowball declared that the Seven Commandments could in effect be reduced to a single maxim, namely: 'Four legs good, two legs bad.'"
C). "A bird's wing, comrades,' he said, 'is an organ of propulsion and not of manipulation. It should therefore be regarded as a leg.'"
D). "The birds did not understand Snowball's long words, but they accepted his explanation, and all the humbler animals set to work to learn the new maxim by heart."
E). "When they had once got it by heart, the sheep developed a great liking for this maxim, and often as they lay in the field they would all start bleating 'Four legs good, two legs bad!'"
Explanation:
In the context of the novel 'Animal Farm' authored by George Orwell, the above statement reflects Snowball's use of his linguistic skills to influence other animals at the farm.
As the novel aims to satirize the Russian Revolution and comment upon the brutality, exploitation, and incompetence of the Stalin government. Orwell establishes Snowball as the representative of a white man('Leon Trotsky who was an intellectual theorist, leader, and revolutionary') in opposition to Stalin. The above excerpts show how he uses his communications skills to influence other animals at the farm in order to establish a separate authority of their own. Hence, options B, C, D, and E are the correct options.

For there lay The Combs-the set of combs, side and back, that Della had worshipped long in a Broadway
window. Beautiful combs, pure tortoise shell, with Jewelled rims-Just the shade to wear in the beautiful
vanished hair. They were expensive combs, she knew, and her heart had simply craved and yearned over
them without the least hope of possession. And now, they were hers, but the tresses that should have
adomed the coveted adornments were gone.
But she hugged them to her bosom, and at length she was able to look up with dim eyes and a smile and say.
"My hair grows so fast, Jimi And them Della leaped up like a little singed cat and cried, 'Oh, ohr" Jim had not
yet seen his beautiful present. She held it out to him eagerly upon her open palm. The dull precious metal
seemed to flash with a reflection of her bright and ardent spirit."Isn't it a dandy, Jim? I hunted all over town to
find it You'll have to look at the time a hundred times a day now. Give me your watch. I want to see how it
looks on it
Instead of obeying, Jim tumbled down on the couch and put his hands under the back of his head and
smiled. Delia,' said he, "let's put our Christmas presents away and keep'em a while. They're too nice to use
Jest at present. I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs. And now suppose you put the chops
on."
The magi, as you know, were wise men-wonderfully wise men-who brought gifts to the Babe in the manger.
They invented the art of giving Christmas presents. Being wise, thelr gifts were no doubt wise ones, possibly
bearing the privilege of exchange in case of duplication. And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful
chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of
their house. But in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were
the wisest. O all who give and receive gifts, such as they are wisest. Everywhere they are wisest. They are the
magi.
What character traits reveal about Della in
the passage above
She feels that it’s important to dress modestly
She has the ability to be unselfish and loving
She is prone to fits of passion
She has the ability to look over wrongs in order to preserve relationships
Answer:
She has the ability to be unselfish and loving

Which of the following people in the article provides the MOST support for the following idea? Gathering data from cellphones is NOT a violation of privacy.
Answer: Andrew R. Sriubas
Explanation:
This question is based on the article, "Smart billboards are checking you out - and making judgements".
In this article, Andrew Sriubas, chief commercial officer at OUTFRONT Media, tells of how the billboards will be able to read the data of cellphones but not who owns the data. It will simply read things like their home address, ethnicity and age and recommend ads based on that.
Sriubas does not believe this to be an invasion of privacy because the more intimate details of the person will not be known such as their name.
I tried to finish the meal, but the burned meat was as tough as leather, and I began to wonder whether I was eating someone’s old sneakers. Which type of figurative language does the sentence contain? idiom metaphor personification simile
Answer:
simile
Explanation:
A figures of speech is also referred to as figurative language and it can be defined as a deliberate and specific construction or use of language by writers, authors or speakers to create a special effect in their speech or literary work (write-ups).
In English literature, the main purpose of the figures of speech (figurative language) is to convey more information and enable the readers or listeners have a deeper understanding of a literary work. Some examples of the figures of speech (figurative language) used in literature are simile, paradox, metaphor, apostrophe, hyperbole, personification, etc.
Metaphor is an implied comparison without the use of the word as or like. It involves creating a direct similarity between two words or things.
Idioms are phrases that may be impossible to interpret or difficult to understand based on a loose translation of the words contained therein. Therefore, idioms are everyday language that shouldn't be interpreted literally but in a figurative sense.
Personification involves intentionally attributing life, human characteristics (qualities) or feelings and emotions to inanimate objects i.e non-living things.
Simile has to do with comparison of two things using as or like.
Hence, the type of figurative language used in the above sentence is simile because the burned meat was compared with leather (old sneakers) using as.
Answer:
D) simile

They stood together, away from the pile of stones in the corner, and their jokes were quiet and they smiled rather than laughed.
