Answer:

Letter to the chairman of the local government area requesting for social amenities.

Explanation:

To,

The Chairman

ABC District

..........

23 May 2017

Subject: Request for social amenities in our locality.

Dear Sir,

On behalf of the residents of ABC village, I would like to bring to your kind attention the lack of social amenities. For the villagers, it is important that we have some congregational spaces or buildings whenever there's a need to discuss issues. Added to that, we have no means of getting drinking water, which leaves us to try to get it from the nearby village, a hectic and tiring effort for everyone.

And there is also hardly any good infrastructure for the children to learn and study. There are no buildings to be called schools, leaving the children to learn out in the open.

So, as a representative of our locality, we would like to request you o kindly look into the matter and try to get us some of the basic social amenities for our village.

Anticipating your response.

Thank you for your time.

Regards,

Mr. Ashutosh Singh.

Which two pieces of textual evidence from Selection 2 illustrate Laurence's persistence


A."After ten more minutes he cautiously raised his head and looked about. It seemed endless, row upon row of crates, boxes, barrels."

B."At the stern of the boat he found a room with a door partially ajar. Laurence came upon a narrow ladder leading up into darkness near the stern of the the ship."

C."He felt what seemed to be stacks of small, light and very hard squares of wood. Laurence put the square into his mouth and tried to bite into it."

D."After a full hour he found one whose lid was open a crack --- hardly wide enough for the his fingers. Bit by bit, the bread softened, until at last he was able to break off a piece."

Which word or group of words best helps to clarify the meaning of block printing in the last paragraph?
from "The Printing Press"
in Great Inventions and Discoveries by Willis Duff Piercy

1 "Except a living man," says Charles Kingsley, "there is nothing more wonderful than a book—a message to us from the dead—from human souls whom we never saw, who lived perhaps thousands of miles away; and yet these, on those little sheets of paper, speak to us, amuse us, vivify us, teach us, comfort us, open their hearts to us as brothers. We ought to reverence books, to look at them as useful and mighty things." Milton calls a good book "the precious life blood of a master spirit, embalmed and treasured up on purpose to a life beyond life." Cicero likens a room without books to a body without a soul. Ruskin says, "Bread of flour is good; but there is bread, sweet as honey, if we would eat it, in a good book." And Thomas Carlyle exclaims: "Wondrous, indeed, is the virtue of a true book! O thou who art able to write a book, which once in two centuries or oftener there is a man gifted to do, envy not him whom they name city-builder, and inexpressibly pity him whom they name conqueror or city-burner!"
2 For centuries the traditions, stories, and songs of men were handed down orally from father to son and were preserved only in the memory. The poems of Homer, the great Greek bard, were recited by readers to large audiences, some of them numbering probably twenty thousand. By and by men felt the need of perpetuating their thoughts in some more permanent way than by memory, and there grew up a rude system of writing.
3 The early Greeks and Romans used for their books tablets of ivory or metal or, more commonly, tablets of wood taken from the beech or fir tree which was then followed by a material called parchment. This was made from the skins of animals, particularly sheep or lambs. About the end of the ninth century or the beginning of the tenth, after Christ, parchment and vellum as material for books gave way to paper. Initially paper produced, was made of cotton, but during the twelfth century it was produced from linen. It is not known who invented linen paper, but its introduction was the first great catalyst to book making. About the beginning of the fifteenth century after Christ, there came over the world an enormous wave of intellectual awakening.
4 The human intellect began to awake, to stretch itself, to go forth and conquer, which hence brought about the invention of printing. Before this time, ever since man began to record his thoughts, whether on plank, stone, or papyrus, on bark of tree, skin of animal, or tablet of wax or paper, every letter was made by hand. The process was necessarily slow, books were rare and costly, and only the few could have them. But with the advent of a process that would multiply books andmake them cheap, learning wasmade accessibleto the legion. Before theinventionof printing with movable, metal types, a kind of block printing was used. The words or letters were carved on a block of wood; the block was applied to paper, silk, cloth, or vellum, and thusimpressionswere made.

The story "Games at Twilight" by Anita Desai is set in India on a hot summer day. Children are forced to stay indoors but are eager to go out. Which four words in the excerpt suggest this sense of suffocation?
It was still too hot to play outdoors. They had had their tea, they had been washed and had their hair brushed, and after the long day of confinement in the house that was not cool but at least a protection from the sun, the children strained to get out. Their faces were red and bloated with the effort, but their mother would not open the door, everything was still curtained and shuttered in a way that stifled the children, made them feel that their lungs were stuffed with cotton wool and their noses with dust and if they didn’t burst out into the light and see the sun and feel the air, they would choke

Which excerpt from "Initiation” correctly matches with the implied resolution of the story?

There really was no doubt now that she would get in; This is the climax implying that Millicent will accept the invitation.
"It won't be any different with us, Tracy," Millicent had told her; This is the rising action implying that the two girls will remain friends.
“Well, what do they do as a club?" Millicent wanted to know; This is the exposition implying that Millicent will challenge the club’s activities.
Swooping carefree over the moors, they would go singing; This is the falling action implying that the sorority girls will form a choir.

here's the reading extract for context:

Ebraime stared up the slope into the gathering mist. Tongues and tracers of cloud raced past the shattered base of the cliffs; below him the mountain fell sharply away, golden in the light of the setting sun. He had never climbed so high before, and he was scared. He had never lost a sheep before. That scared him too.

He crouched against the mountainside, afraid to look back. Against the rising noise of the wind he heard the bleating of the ewe once more. It came from his right, it seemed. Cautiously he crept, hand and foot, up the loose, stony slope. The fierce wind was growing colder, biting through his thin khaki shirt. He glanced back. Behind him the golden light died with the sunset as he reached the base of the broken cliffs.

Zebasberg is a fierce mountain. Ebraime stared up at the soaring, cold grey rocks and trembled. He crept carefully around and between the huge boulders that littered the base of the peak, following the faint bleat of the sheep. The light was dim and dying when at last he found the ewe. She lay in a hollow between two slabs, a small corner of shelter from the rising storm. Gratefully he slipped down beside her. 'Quiet now, quiet now, he whispered gently. The ewe gazed at him with empty eyes and nuzzled closer. Outside the hollow, the wind howled and the world went black..
Ebraime nestled against the warmth of the ewe and looked out at the invisible night. I didn't lose her, he thought proudly. Tomorrow it will be light again and I can lead her down to the farm. Mr Lamprechts will be well pleased with me. He will see that I work well when I bring back this sheep. Ebraime huddled against the warm sheep in the sheltered hollow and was soon asleep.

In the hollow high up against Zebasberg, the ewe raised her head. She sniffed the air and gave a loud bleat. Ebraime woke at once. Where am I? Ebraime thought, clutching the ewe. She struggled and suddenly called again. He held her tight around the middle, peering into the darkness.

What's wrong? he thought. "Be still, be still,' he whispered to the ewe. She tried to lunge to her feet. 'Still, still,' he tried to calm her, when sud denly he became aware of the smell. A terrible rank pungent smell, some thing new in the hollow, something close at hand. "Go away!' he shout ed, terrified.

The ewe lunged without warning and a hot gust of foul breath came out of the dark. Something unseen and awful struck Ebraime full in the face. The ewe screamed, a long des perate bleat, and tore loose from his grip. Another awful searing blow ripped across his face and neck.

He reeled back and screamed from fear and the terrible pain of the blow. The unseen shape knocked him carelessly aside and with a throaty roar leaped away out of the hollow. He felt himself sinking into darkness and he tried to cry out again. Far away, he heard the last bleat as the beast took the ewe. The terrible pain shrank away as he slipped into unconsciousness.

There was no one at the cottage. In the kitchen he found a half-loaf of bread. He wolfed the bread and sank exhausted into a chair facing the open door.

He didn't hear the girl's approach. He was roused by the cautious knock and the soft call 'Ouma Sanna?' He stumbled to his feet. The girl was sil houetted against the bright sunshine outside the door. Ebraime stood up and tried to speak. He had hardly realised that no sound would come when the girl screamed, a scream that echoed shrilly around the room and out across the farmyard. Ebraime stood rooted in the doorway. The girl's screams bewildered and frightened him. What was wrong? Why had the girl screamed like that? He looked back into the cottage. Something moved on his left and he started violently. The light was slanting across Ouma Sanna's only picture, a hand-coloured photograph of herself as a young woman, hand in hand with a young man. Ebraime turned towards the movement and realised that it was his own reflection that had moved. His face was reflected in the dusty glass.

Two eyes stared wildly at him from a face raked with raw, bloody stripes, puffed and wounded and horrible. Suddenly he understood. My face, he shouted to himself. It's my face!​​

Rita did not care what her parents had said last night; she was glad things were changing. They might be willing to overlook the ratty textbooks and dingy classrooms at the old high school, but Rita was glad she and her classmates would be attending Somerset High in the fall. The first few days would be terrifying; Rita could barely imagine what she would wear or say. She knew people would protest outside, but she also knew she could prove herself among the white kids. She looked forward to her first new textbook, her first test, and her first “A.”
