Read the first passage from "The Tell-Tale Heart” that Karishma read.
I had my head in, and was about to open the lantern, when my thumb slipped upon the tin fastening, and the old man sprang up in bed, crying out—"Who's there?"
After reading the passage, Karishma predicted that the narrator would get caught by the old man.
Now read the second passage that Karishma read.
I kept quite still and said nothing. For a whole hour I did not move a muscle, and in the meantime I did not hear him lie down. He was still sitting up in the bed listening;—just as I have done, night after night, hearkening to the death watches in the wall.
The most logical revision for Karishma to make to her prediction is that the narrator
A. gives up his plan to murder the old man.
B. comes back another night to murder the old man.
C. continues with his plan to murder the old man.
D. eventually admits his presence to the old man.
Answer:
C. continues with his plan to murder the old man.
Explanation:
According to the first excerpt, it was logical that based on the clues and events available, Kashima would assume that the narrator was going to be caught by the old man because the old man sighted him entering his room.
However, from the second excerpt which shows that although the old man woke up, the narrator did not make any noise to betray his presence, he did not leave the scene, neither did he change his mind and Kashima can conclude that the narrator will continue with his plan to murder the old man.

How does Kennedy’s word choice affect the tone and meaning of this excerpt from the passage? While the wall is the most obvious and vivid demonstration of the failures of the Communist system, for all the world to see, we take no satisfaction in it, for it is, as your Mayor has said, an offense not only against history but an offense against humanity, separating families, dividing husbands and wives and brothers and sisters, and dividing a people who wish to be joined together. The phrase “obvious and vivid” sets an aggravated tone and suggests Kennedy is weary of standing up to communism. The phrases “brothers and sisters” and “joined together” suggest a peaceful tone and highlight the need for cooperation with communists. Repetition of the word “offense” develops an angry tone and emphasizes the destructiveness of communism. Repetition of the word “dividing” creates a frustrated tone and suggests Kennedy is prepared to take action against communists.
Answer:
The excerpt provided in the question belongs to a speech President Kennedy gave in West Berlin on June 26th, 1963. The President's word choices such as "failures", "world to see", "obvious", "offense against humanity" "dividing" help to set the tone and meaning of his speech. Kennedy addressed the audience in Berlin, but also the world, to express the support given by the United States to West Berlin against the wall that the Soviet Union had built. He uses repetition, for example with the word offense, to give a clear message on how the communist system is attacking the freedom of the world and of all of Berlin's citizens, and how democracy is the only solution to the separation of families and communities that want to be together.

Authors use various narrative techniques to manipulate time in a work of fiction. Cite examples of how the narrator Influences Ume and pacing
within the story. What effect does the pacing have on how the reader Interprets the story?
games at twilight
Answer:
The pace of the story changes every time the mood of the children changes.
Explanation:
The pace of the story changes every time the mood of the children changes. A perfect example of this is at the beginning of the story. The first paragraphs are slightly lengthy and greatly detailed to show the mood of the current situation. Since all the kids are stuck indoor on a blistering hot day, the mood is dragged and allows the reader to understand the children's situation.
However, once mother permits the children to exit, the mood changes to a more exciting and thrilling tone. This is also when the story’s pace changes. Read the following line:
“The children, too, felt released. They too began tumbling, shoving, pushing against each other, frantic to start.”
This line allows the reader to relate to the characters and understand their emotions. Clearly, we read that the children are moving so fast they begin tumbling one another frantically.
Another good clue that represents a change in pace is when the kids share this interaction:
“Let’s play hide-and-seek.”
“Who’ll be It?”
“You be It.”
“Why should I? You be——”
“You’re the eldest——”
“That doesn’t mean——”
Here, it’s almost as if the children are moving at such a fast pace, they begin to speak over one another. It’s written in such a way that the reader almost feels like they’re a part of the story, experiencing the chaotic bickering between the children.
Answer:
The pacing of the story changes with the changing moods of the children. The story opens with the sense of oppression a group of children feel when they are forcibly kept inside the house. The pace is slow at this point. The pace changes when the children rush outside to play. It increases as the game of hide and seek closely replicates a hunting game. Raghu is like a wild animal hunting his prey.
When Ravi is hiding, the narrator doesn’t reveal exactly how much time has passed: “for minutes, hours, his legs began to tremble with the effort, the inaction.” As the suspense builds, the reader is eager to know the outcome. The pace builds and climaxes when the narrator describes Ravi’s plans for winning the game. The narrator gives us a glimpse of the myriad of thoughts streaming across his mind.
The pace comes to a grinding halt when Ravi realizes that no one cared where he was hiding, and he is not the winner of the game. The reader, who experienced the rush of the game as well as the sudden jolt of defeat, can sympathize with Ravi’s disappointment.

Japan has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area. The facts of yesterday speak for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation.
As Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense.

Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger.
With confidence in our armed forces - with the unbounded determination of our people - we will gain the inevitable triumph - so help us God.

Answer:
Girls still deprive of education in many countries of the world. It is not good for them, their society as well as for their nation. Even Indian society considers women inferior to men. Perhaps, it is the reason for Indians still struggling as an underdeveloped nation. We should seriously think about it.
Girls, in most of the developing countries, are facing the lack of education. They are forced to bear tortures everywhere. Initially, they struggle to get a life and then to get a basic education. They also strive to get a job and to marry a guy of their choice. The main reason for all this is the lack of education in women. This problem will remain until we decide to educate every girl.
An educated girl is like a blessing for society. She becomes able to educate her complete family. She also nurtures her children by instilling good manners. A girl can lead the world to the right path. The most important tool she needs is basic and higher education

Read the excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game." Some wounded thing, by the evidence a large animal, had thrashed about in the underbrush; the jungle weeds were crushed down and the moss was lacerated; one patch of weeds was stained crimson. A small, glittering object not far away caught Rainsford's eye and he picked it up. It was an empty cartridge. "A twenty-two," he remarked. "That's odd. It must have been a fairly large animal too. The hunter had his nerve with him to tackle it with a light gun. It's clear that the brute put up a fight.

Read the following:
"Thanksgiving chefs have a tough choice to make: stuffing or dressing? Both dishes are a delightful mix of bread, vegetables, aromatic spices, and
fat. But that's where the similarities end.
"Stuffing is cooked inside the turkey. It spends hours soaking up lots and lots of turkey juices. No matter what, stuffing will always taste like turkey.
There's no point in adding expensive or delicately flavored ingredients because the baked-in flavor of turkey will not be denied. Dressing is cooked
separately, which allows the taste of the individual ingredients to shine through. Experimentation is rewarded with dressing, so go ahead and throw in
something exotic, like sausage, oysters, sourdough, or cornbread.
"There's only so much space inside a turkey, so there is never enough stuffing. It rarely lasts until the end of the main meal, making it a fleeting treat.
Dressing is limited only by the size of the oven. It's easy to make large quantities that can feed a crowd and still provide days (and days) of leftovers.
"Perhaps the most important difference between stuffing and dressing is the risk of food poisoning. Stuffing must get hot enough to kill all the
bacteria it picks up from the turkey. It can still be dangerously undercooked when the meat is done, but many home chefs don't think to measure stuffing
temperature. Dressing is far less likely to be contaminated, and it also cooks faster because it bakes alone in a pan."
What are the points of comparison used to compare dressing and stuffing?
ingredients, recipes, temperature, bacteria
inside the turkey, outside the turkey, popularity, food safety
cooking technique, leftovers, food poisoning
preparation, taste, amount, safety
Answer:
preparation, taste, amount, safety
Explanation:
The points of comparison used to compare dressing and stuffing are preparation, taste, amount, and safety. Thus the correct answer is D.
What is the point of comparison?A point of comparison is referred to as an element that helps in identifying the point which makes difference between two objects. This point of comparison allows us to make a comparison between them and highlight the unique feature.
The point of comparison between the dressing and stuffing is preparation that their preparation technique is different. The dressing and stuffing use different techniques for making food.
The size of stuffing is relatively small than that of dressing which uses an oven to make it baked. It is easy to make large quantities that can feed a big group crowd.
Therefore, option D is appropriate.
