Explanation:
Unusual normality what is the most likely audience for this story
Answer:
The most likely audience for the story "Unusual Normality" seems to be the general public, the readers or anyone who comes through this story who have no idea of how lucky they are.
Explanation:
The short personal narrative "Unusual Normality" is based on the true childhood events in the narrator/ author Ishmael Beah. The narrative details his life as an orphan and a child soldier, then adopted in America where he had a chance in living a new life away from the war-torn life in his native Sierra Leone.
Though the whole story is more or less directed at the people he met during his narration, be it the schoolmasters, or even his classmates and their parents, the intended audience seems to be the general public. He did not seem to particularly direct his story at anyone in particular. But as a whole, he is just narrating his life events and provide information about his life in Sierra Leone, so that those who think they know what hard life is may know the reality of his life and how lucky most people are to have a family and be checked upon by their parents. This is evident in his closing statements-
"I wanted them to understand how lucky they were to have a mother, a father, grandparents, siblings, people who to them were annoyingly caring about them and calling them to make sure they were ok. I wanted them to understand also that it was extremely lucky for them to only play pretend war and never have to do the real thing and that this naive innocence that they have about the world was something that I could no longer have I did not have that capacity."
5. What effect does the author's choice to describe the
princess as "semi-barbaric" in paragraph 20 have on the
text?
O A It reveals a similarity between the princess and her
father, giving a clue about her decision
OB It reveals that the princess is not really in love with
the man in the arena, hinting at her decision
OC It reveals the ease with which the princess made her
decision between the lady or the tiger.
OD It reveals the princess's desire to use the arena's
choices to get revenge against her father.
Answer:
The effect is:
A. It reveals a similarity between the princess and her father, giving a clue about her decision.
Explanation:
"The Lady, or the Tiger?" is a short story by American author and humorist Frank Richard Stockton. The author makes sure to let readers know that the princess in the story is "semi-barbaric". That is the same term he used to described her father and to explain his absurd idea of a fair trial. The criminal had to choose one of two doors to open. If he opened the door behind which a tiger was hiding, he would immediately be judged guilty, and he'd be punished by the tiger. If he opened the door behind which a damsel was waiting, he would have to marry her immediately, no matter if he was already married or loved someone else.
By stating this similarity between father and daughter, the author hints that her decision concerning the man she loves is most likely going to be absurd as well. He lover will undergo the trial created by her father. Will she help him choose the door with the damsel? That would mean he would marry someone else. But if she helps him open the door to the tiger, the man she loves will die. The author does not tell us what decision she makes but, again, if she is semi-barbaric, we can only assume she is selfish and impulsive.
Answer: A. It reveals a similarity between the princess and her father, giving a clue about her decision.

Identify whether the sentence is a simple or a compound is sentence. Alice goes to the library and finishes her homework.
Answer:
Simple
Explanation:
It is not joined by a comma, semicolon or conjunction
Answer:
Compound
Explanation:
There are two clauses joined by a conjunction which makes this sentence a compound sentence. To clarify further, the sentence describes two separate subjects: going to the library and finishing homework. Joined by the conjunction, "and," the sentence is now compound. To be a simple sentence, it can only refer to one subject per sentence.

Horses were an important advantage that Hernán Cortés had during his attacks on the Aztecs. Thus option C is correct.
What is Aztec?The agriculture, lands, art, and building of the Aztecs were well-known. They created a calendar system, learned how to write, and constructed temples and other sites of worship. They have also been renowned for being ruthless and ferocious. They offered human sacrifices to appease their gods.
The stronger weapons and cavalry that were available in 1521 allowed Hernan Cortes to overthrow the Aztec Empire. The Spanish used to have an advantage over the larger, unknowing Aztec army because they had steel firearms, horse, and guns. Spanish horses, weaponry, ships, and guerilla warfare were utilized by Cortes to terrify the Aztecs into submission.
Therefore, option C is the correct option.

The boy's role , traits and evidence in the story "sixteen"
Answer:
Maureen Daly uses a first person narrator in her short story “Sixteen.” As the story begins, the narrator, who is the protagonist, goes to great lengths to let the reader know that she is worldly in a teenaged sort of way. She knows what the latest styles are, she reads the current editorials, and listens to the radio. She wants you to know that she is not just a silly girl. When she ventures out to the skating rink on a cold winter night, she describes the beauty of the stars, the moon, the crunchy snow, and the sounds at the rink. It seems that she is an intuitive, detailed oriented, young woman in how she presents herself and cares for her things. She places her shoes out of the way in the skate shack to keep them safe. She is a rational thinker.
However, as soon as the young male skater takes her hand, all rationality ceases. She becomes a giddy young girl who purely enjoys skating and walking home with this young man. When they reach home, he says he will call her, which she firmly believes. She waits expectantly for days before coming to the realization that he will never call. This takes you back to the beginning of the story when she says, “Now don’t get me wrong. I mean, I want you to understand from the beginning that I’m not so really dumb.”
