How is Hyde different than the criminals-for-hire mentioned in the excerpt? Hyde is more cruel and violent than other criminals. Hyde expresses remorse for his crimes. Hyde works diligently to cover up his crimes. Hyde is capable of vanishing to escape suspicion.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is: Hyde is capable of vanishing to escape suspicion.

Explanation:

This is an excerpt from the strange case of Dr Jekyll and Hyde:

Men have before hired bravos to transact their crimes, while their own person and reputation sat under shelter. I was the first that ever did so for his pleasures. I was the first that could plod in the public eye with a load of genial respectability, and in a moment, like a schoolboy, strip off these lendings and spring headlong into the sea of liberty. But for me, in my impenetrable mantle, the safety was complete. Think of it—I did not even exist! Let me but escape into my laboratory door, give me but a second or two to mix and swallow the draught that I had always standing ready; and whatever he had done, Edward Hyde would pass away like the stain of breath upon a mirror; and there in his stead, quietly at home, trimming the midnight lamp in his study, a man who could afford to laugh at suspicion, would be Henry Jekyll.

The answer to the question is:

Hyde is capable of vanishing to escape suspicion.

Answer:

Hyde is capable of vanishing to escape suspicion.

Hearing the wind and birds cry.

Casting me aside feeling though on the side of a piece of metal, im the rust.

Answer:

The correct answer is 2. Five, because an iamb is an unstressed syllable and a stressed syllable.

Explanation:

An iamb is a metrical foot which consists of two syllables: the first one is unstressed, and the second one is stressed. If you count the syllables in this line, you will see that there are 10 syllables in total. Divide this by two (because an iamb consists of two syllables), and you will see that there are 5 iambs in total.

Therefore, options 3 and 4 are incorrect. Option 1 is also incorrect because an iamb, as I already said, consists of two, not one syllable.

Why does the speaker say, “Before I built a wall I’d ask to know/What I was walling in or walling out,/And to whom I was like to give offensive”?

Answers

Answer:

Because the speaker is cautious and likes to think before acting.

Explanation:

The speaker states “Before I built a wall I’d ask to know / What I was walling in or walling out, / And to whom I was like to give offensive,” to give the reader a sense of rationality and caution. This is because the speaker shows how cautious and how he always thinks before acting, not only so that he knows what he is doing and why he is doing it, but so that he is aware of the consequences that his actions will cause and that he can thus avoid situations that are not of interest to him.

How does Kim Ha change from her life in wartime Vietnam to her experience in Alabama?​

Answers

Answer:

Her life during the war in Vietnam and her new American life in Alabama taught her the differences between people and also the new way of life on the far side of the globe. She learned to read and write in English, speak in it, and also make friends in her school. Moreover, she also learned to accept the things that may not be the same as the ones in Vietnam, like the dried papayas instead of the real papaya she so wanted.

When Saigon fell and the North Communist army began to take over the place, Ha and her family boarded the navy ship and escaped. Taken by a cowboy sponsor from Alabama, the whole family began a new life in the two-bedroom house paid for by the sponsor. And from then on, Ha's life began to change. She was deemed a stranger in her new school, their neighbors were rude, students picking on her which led to her eating lunch in the bathroom. But after her encounter with Miss Washington, her life began to change again. She took English classes, learned the proper use of the articles and the verb forms, learned self-defense from her brother Vu Lee, made new friends in Pam/Pem, and Steven/ SSs ì - Ti - Vâ n. She also began to adapt to the change in their living, their food, and most importantly, the loss of their navy father.

She also learned to accept the things in America that may not be to the mark like the ones back at home in Vietnam. She has also accepted the fact that her father will not return to them and that they will have to create a new permanent life in Alabama without him.

Answers

Answer: Its D :)

Explanation:

I just did the unit test.

The statement that best states the author’s purpose for including this quote in the text is to help the reader feel the excitement and unity of the striking workers. Therefore option D is the correct response.

What is a Strike?

A work stoppage brought on by a widespread employee refusal to perform their duties is known as a strike action, also known as a labor strike, labor strike, or simply a strike. Typically, a strike is a response to employee complaints.

According to Article 19 of the Indian Constitution, the freedom to protest is a basic right in that country. However, the right to strike is a legal one, not a fundamental one, and the Industrial Dispute Act of 1947 attaches statutory limitations to this right.

The past tense of "strike" is often "struck." The exclusions include being guilty, having a stroke of bad luck, getting hurt, or getting sick, as well as the ability to strike out a paragraph in a document. Use "struck" the rest of the time. This regulation does not appear to be binding.
