Answer:
"George kills Lennie by shooting him in the back of the head to save him from a more painful death at the hands of Curley, who has vowed to make him suffer for the death of his wife."
"Curley ends up finding out Lennie killed his wife and wants to torture and then kill Lennie. George doesn't want Lennie to suffer so George kills Lennie instantly. ... Lennie is at fault for his own death because George specifically told him not to talk to Curley's wife."
Explanation:
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red, than her lips red:
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask'd, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound:
I grant I never saw a goddess go,—
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
And yet by heaven, I think my love as rare,
As any she belied with false compare.
Which words and phrases in the sonnet indicate that the tone is satirical? Select two options.
“My mistress”
“black wires”
“damask’d”
“reeks”
“false compare”
Answer:
“My mistress” I believe.
Explanation:
Answer:
"Reeks"
Explanation:
Satirical means 'satire', so which part of the sonnet shows "the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices..."?
"My mistress" is a serious term, as is "black wires", "demask'd", and "false compare", but "reeks" doesn't have a very serious connotation.
Four Freedoms speech
Answer:
what ab it
Explanation:
Answer:
Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, members of the 77th Congress:
I address you, the members of this new Congress, at a moment unprecedented in the history of the union. I use the word “unprecedented” because at no previous time has American security been as seriously threatened from without as it is today.
Since the permanent formation of our government under the Constitution in 1789, most of the periods of crisis in our history have related to our domestic affairs. And, fortunately, only one of these -- the four-year war between the States -- ever threatened our national unity. Today, thank God, 130,000,000 Americans in 48 States have forgotten points of the compass in our national unity.
It is true that prior to 1914 the United States often has been disturbed by events in other continents. We have even engaged in two wars with European nations and in a number of undeclared wars in the West Indies, in the Mediterranean and in the Pacific, for the maintenance of American rights and for the principles of peaceful commerce. But in no case had a serious threat been raised against our national safety or our continued independence.

Type your response in the box. Look at the bicycle posters. Which one of the three advertisements do you think is the most appealing? Explain the reasons for your choice.
Answer:
I find the second poster more appealing. This is because it uses bright colors that grab my attention, such as the red in the background and the green letters. The words are written big which makes the poster easier to read. The aesthetic of it makes it feel bright and captivating.
Explanation:
I
Answer:
All of the images have their pros and cons. For example, image one has fun text and easy to read text, but no colors that draw your eye. Image two has bright colors that naturally draw your eye. Although the advertisement itself does draw your eye there is virtually no information about the image that you are advertising. In the third image there is a pop of color and clearly a lot of information, but the information is hard to read and not very eye catching, With that knowledge, I think that that image one is the best option, it has fun easy to read text and a big sketch of what you are advertising so the consumer knows what they are purchasing and some details.
PLEASE HELP!!! What is a common purpose of satire?
A. to explain to the reader how to make or do something
B. to express the author's feelings with descriptive details
C. to change readers' minds through the telling of realistic stories
D. to change readers' minds through humor and exaggeration
Answer:
d) to change readers’ minds through humor and exaggeration
Explanation:
Satire typically uses humor and exaggeration to make a persuasive point about a social or political situation. ( also, I took the quiz)
Ik im REALLY late but this is for the people next year! :)
Satire is a genre of the visual, literary, and performing arts where vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, frequently with the goal of exposing or shaming the perceived flaws of people , organizations, governments, or society itself into improvement. Hence option D is correct.
What is Satire ?Satire is most commonly fiction but is also occasionally non-fiction. Even though satire is typically designed to be hilarious, its main objective is frequently constructive social critique. It does this by employing wit to call attention to both specific and more general societal problems.
Strong irony or sarcasm is a characteristic of satire; in fact, literary scholar Northrop Frye once said that "in satire, irony is militant". However, satirical speech and writing also regularly include parody, burlesque, exaggeration, juxtaposition, comparison, and double entendre. This irony is "militant."

Which sentence in the passage uses parallel structure?
A fashion trend not only changes but is also evolving. It grows and is sometimes defining the era in which it originated. In the 1950s, for example, wide-circle skirts and wearing long dresses were in fashion. Then in the 1960s, the A-line skirt and a miniskirt became trendy. Fashion forecasting involves predicting future trends by observing changes in the current situation and learning from the past trends.
Answer:
Fashion forecasting involves predicting future trends by observing changes in the current situation and learning from the past trends.
Explanation:
The above sentence uses parallel structure.
Parallel structure (also known as parallelism) refers to the use of same pattern of words or phrases in order to show the equal importance of the words or ideas. When words and phrases are used, they should not only match in structure, but also in tense. Parallel structure is seen when conjunctions like and, but, or, etc are used.
In the sentence, we see that observing and learning follow the same pattern just before and after the and. This makes the sentence a parallel structure.
The use of parallel structure is used to add clarity to writing and to help make the sentence easier to understand.

Fashion forecasting involves predicting future trends by observing changes in the current situation and learning from past trends.

A. Central Park has a garden that houses plants mentioned in

B. Unheated buildings would result in a destructive freeze-thaw cycle.
C. While suspension bridges will last a few centuries, truss bridges

XO D. Water in Manhattan's underground spaces has to be pumped out
daily.
The clearest example of cause and effect in "The City Without Us" is option B: Unheated buildings would result in a destructive freeze-thaw cycle.
What is "The city without us" reveals ?"The City Without Us" is a book by Alan Weisman that explores what would happen to the world's cities and infrastructure if humans were suddenly to disappear. The book reveals several important insights:
The fragility of our infrastructure: Weisman shows how quickly many of our cities and buildings would start to deteriorate and collapse without constant human maintenance.
The resilience of nature: Despite the damage that humans have inflicted on the environment, Weisman also highlights how quickly nature would begin to reclaim our cities if we were to disappear.
"The City Without Us" offers a thought-provoking reflection on the relationship between humans and the built environment, and the potential consequences of our actions on the planet.
Here, the situation explaining the cause and effect is option B. This is because the cause (unheated buildings) directly leads to the effect (destructive freeze-thaw cycle) and is explained in the book as a consequence of the freezing and thawing of water in the building's structures.
