How does the setting affect Jonathan's outlook on his
house?
This newest miracle was his little house in Ogui Overside.
Indeed nothing puzzles God! Only two houses away a
huge concrete edifice some wealthy contractor had put up
just before the war was a mountain of rubble. And here
was Jonathan's little zinc house of no regrets built with
mud blocks quite intact! Of course the doors and
windows were missing and five sheets off the roof. But
what was that?
-"Civil Peace,"
Chinua Achebe
1. Jonathan is doubtful that his house will continue to
stand, since the surrounding area is war torn.
2. Jonathan is grateful that his house still stands,
since the surrounding area is war torn.
3. Jonathan is confused that his house still stands,
given the surrounding destruction.
4. Jonathan is guilt stricken that his house still stands,
given the destruction of the neighboring house.

Answers

Answer 1

The correct answer is 2. Jonathan is grateful that his house still stands,

since the surrounding area is wartorn.

Explanation:

In stories, the setting includes the place where actions take place. Additionally, this factor has a great impact on the story and even the characters. In the case of the excerpt presented, the fact Jonathan house is almost intact while a huge nearby building was destroyed makes Jonathan feels grateful, this feeling can be seen in "This newest miracle was his little house in Ogui Overside" that shows Jonathan is surprised but happy or in "But  what was that?" that shows Jonathan appreciates the house was not destroyed even when there minor damages.

Answer 2

Answer:

B. Jonathan is grateful that his house still stands, since the surrounding area is war torn.

"There is within me (and with sadness I have watched it in others) a knot of cruelty borne by a stream of love, much as our blood sometimes bears the seed of our destruction, and at times I was mean to Doodle". What is the narrator trying to convey by putting "and with sadness I have watched it in others" in parenthesis?


A.The narrator is admitting that he can recognize "cruelty" because he was "mean" himself


B. The narrator is erasing some of his own guilt by stating that others possess "cruelty" too


C. The narrator is indicating that he feels victimized by "cruelty."


D.The narrator is hoping that no one will remember his "cruelty" toward Doodle

Answers

Answer:

B. The narrator is erasing some of his own guilt by stating that others possess "cruelty" too .

Explanation:

James Hurst's short story The Scarlet Ibis revolves around the story of William "Doodle" Armstrong who was born with a heart problem. Though narrated by the brother, the story deals with the theme of love and hate and even resentment for his disabled brother.

In the given excerpt from the story, the narrator only addressed as "Brother" recalls how he would hang out with his younger brother. He admits that at times he felt stifled to be 'stuck' with his slow brother, unable to be at par with his friends. The use of parenthesis in the words "and with sadness I have watched it in others" is to convey the narrator's own sense of justifying his guilt in his treatment of Doodle while they were younger. He mentioned that he has "watched it in others", implying that the very same mean streak is also evident in others, which seems to mean that what he did was also something that others have also done.

Thus, the right answer is option B.

Leave as little white space as possible is not an effective way to organize text. Therefore, option (B) is correct.

What is an effective way to organise text?

Effective organization of text should use headers to break a text into topics, use bullet points to create a list, use bold font for emphasis, and include appropriate amounts of white space to make the text easier to read and navigate.

Leaving too little white space can make the text appear cluttered and overwhelming, making it difficult for the reader to follow the content. Effective use of white space can improve the readability and visual appeal of a text, making it easier for the reader to focus on the main ideas and understand the content. Therefore, option B is not an effective way to organize text.

5. This story has a significant emotional crisis and a brutal physical climax. A) Define the crisis and

the climax of the story. B) Explain how the author uses suspense to lead to both plot events.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

This question is about the short story "The Wife's Story", by Ursula K. le Guin.

5. This story has a significant emotional crisis and a brutal physical climax. A) Define the crisis and  the climax of the story.

The story is told from the perspective of a werewolf. This female narrates how strange her beloved husband has become over time, and how others from her community have told her there was something in his blood that he inherited from his father. She does not know what it is, and she loves him too much to ask.

The emotional crisis comes when she realizes her husband transforms into a human from time to time, when there is no moon. The climax comes immediately afterward, when she, her sister, and others from the community chase him down to kill him. It is the narrator's sister that does it.

B) Explain how the author uses suspense to lead to both plot events.

The author limits our perception and knowledge when she chooses to narrate the story from a first-person perspective. Not only that, but suspense is skillfully used. The narrator reveals information little by little, at first tricking us into thinking they are all humans. Slowly, she talks of them all sleeping during the day while her husband goes "hunting" in broad daylight. She smells something different in him when comes back from those hunting trips, and even her daughter reacts to his presence with fear. Then she describes his transformation, how all of his hair disappears. She finally calls him a man. All this time, she toyed with us readers, leading us to believe this is a werewolf story when, in reality, it is a "werewolf's story", an inversion to the myth. The wolf who becomes a man is cursed, not the man who becomes a wolf. But she takes her time, confusing readers, building the suspense.

The correct answer is A. Mr. H Potter, The cupboard under the Stairs, 4 Private Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey

Explanation:

The information presented, refers to the address where Harry Potter (main character of a set of novels by J.K. Rowling) received his letters. In terms of punctuation as any other address, it is important to use either commas or periods to separate each section of the address.

According to this, after the name of the receiver (Mr. H Potter) it is necessary to include a period or comma, then after the section "the cupboard under the stairs" because this refers to the specific section of the house, then after the number of the house and name of the street (4 Private Drive), and finally, after the name of the town (Little Whinging) that is right before the name of the county. Thus, option A shows the correct punctuation because commas separate the correct sections in the address.

("Herbivore" p. 14).

Explanation:

In any academic paper, the pattern and correct citation of sources is a must for academicians. It is this simple yet complicated method that enables the readers to know whether the paper is worth reading and whether it has solid proof of sources or is just a 'hypothetical' paper without much sources to validate it.

Among the options given for an in-text citation for an encyclopedia, the correct way of putting the in-text citation is to put the name/ title of the book followed by the year of publication and then the page number. And considering our given options, the year is not provided so that will be omitted. In that case, the correct answer will be "the title" and then the page number. Thus, "Herbivore" p. 14 is the correct answer.

Answer:

D. ("Herbivore" 14).

Explanation:

Hi, the person above is incorrect regarding MLA format.  In a parenthetical citation for MLA format, there is no "p" for page number.  It is simply the page number and/or author's surname.  If there is no author, it is an abbreviation of the work's title in quotation marks, just like above.

Hope this helps.

Choose four sounds that are members of a natural class of English phonemes, and explain their shared features in square brackets.

Answers

Answer:

1. /p/ [voiceless stops]

2. /t/ [voiceless stops]

3. /k/ [voiceless stops]

 /p/, /t/, /k/ are consonant sounds which have voiceless stops. These sounds are also aspirated at the beginning of words- i.e when pronounced, there is usually a forceful expulsion of air in words like "top", "tap", "kill", etc.

When the sounds are used at the end of words or joined with some consonants, they are not aspirated e.g drop, stop, etc.

4. /m/ [nasal stops]

When pronouncing nasal stops, the velum usually lowers to allow a free flow of air from the nose.

Examples of words that have nasal stops are:

"mouth", "mud", etc.

The narrator in The Canterbury Tales, says he plans to "give account of all their words and dealings, / Using their very phrases as
they fell." For which kind of characterization would an author provide such details?
a. direct characterization
C. direct and indirect characterization
b. indirect characterization
d. dramatic characterization

Answers

The correct answer is B. Indirect characterization

Explanation:

When authors use indirect characterization they only explain the actions, words, and general behavior of characters to show the reader how the characters are, rather than directly describing the characters from their perspective (direct characterization). According to this, the narrator of The Canterbury tells will use indirect characterization because he will only explain the "words and dealings" of the characters through the characters "very phrases as  they fell", which shows the narrator will not describe the characters directly but let their words and actions show how they are.

20 marks​

Answers

As shown in the question above, we are bombarded with advertisements when we watch TV, the problem with all of this is that the advertisements are of the most varied we have, which can leave us tired and sadly confused, as a result, we usually do not pay attention to these advertisements and probably we will not look for the advertised products. However, advertisers continue to look for TV stations to advertise their products, the reasons for this are probably:

TV is still a strong communication vehicle. TV is a device present in almost all houses, which facilitates the visualization of the advertisement. TV is unable to filter the interests of its owner to display only advertisements that may interest him. Broadcasters profit a lot from different ads.

As already shown above, this confusion of ads can be harmful to the advertiser, to reduce this problem, the advertiser can choose to:

Invest more in online ads, than in ads on TV stations. Make ads with a cleaner look, but with attractive factors. Charge broadcasters to have their ad displayed with related ads. Hire a strong team that has the ability to make your ad stand out.

Answers

Answer:

Our account manager, Amanda, graduated from college in 1997.

Have you seen Brian? No one seems to know where he is.

You can copy that section by highlighting the corresponding text box icon in the left frame of the document editor or by selecting the text box itself

His office is much cleaner than hers.

The new receptionist seems as if she is well qualified.

Explanation:

First, let's take:

Our account manager, Amanda, ____________in 1997

The options for this question are "graduated college" and "graduated from college"

In this case, the preposition "from" makes the sentence more clear since people "graduates from highschool/college" etc. Thus, the correct answer would be "our account manager, Amanda, graduated from college in 1997"

Have you seen Brian? No one seems to know where he ____________.

The options are "is" and "is at"

We can see that "at" is a preposition, prepositions are used to connect nouns and pronouns, however, when at the end of a sentence we should only use them when it's necessary, for example, in phrasal verbs. In this case we don't have a phrasal verb, thus the correct option is "Have you seen Brian? No one seems to know where he is"

You can copy that section by highlighting the corresponding text box icon in the left frame of the document editor or selecting the text box itself .

You can copy that section by highlighting the corresponding text box icon in the left frame of the document editor or by selecting the text box itself.

As we said before, prepositions are used to connect nouns and pronouns and they also help to make sentences clearer, in this case, the second option is clearer since they added the "by" in "by selecting the text box itself"

Therefore, the correct answer is "You can copy that section by highlighting the corresponding text box icon in the left frame of the document editor or by selecting the text box itself"

His office is much cleaner than hers.

His office is much cleaner then hers.

When we compare two different things, we need to use "than" to make the comparison between them. In this example we are comparing two offices, one that is cleaner than the other, Therefore the correct answer is "his office is much cleaner than hers"

The new receptionist seems like she is well qualified.

The new receptionist seems as if she is well qualified.

In this example, both options are right from a grammar point of view, however, the use of "as if" is a more formal way of saying things and we use it when we are not certain about something or we don't know if something is true for sure. Thus, the most formal and clearer option would be:

The new receptionist seems as if she is well qualified.
