Based on the following excerpt from O. Henry’s “The Gift of the Magi,” which statement about Della is most likely true?

One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. And sixty cents of it was in pennies. Pennies saved one and two at a time by bulldozing the grocer and the vegetable man and the butcher until one’s cheeks burned with the silent imputation of parsimony that such close dealing implied. Three times Della counted it. One dollar and eighty-seven cents. And the next day would be Christmas.

There was clearly nothing to do but flop down on the shabby little couch and howl. So Della did it.

A.
Della is upset because her house is in shabby condition for Christmas.
B.
Della is angry at herself for lying to the butcher to save some extra money.
C.
Della is ashamed because she cheated the local vegetable man out of money.
D.
Della is sad because she doesn’t have enough money to buy Christmas presents.

Answers

Answer 1

Della is sad that she didn't have enough money saved to get gifts; since it says "...and the next day would be Christmas," this implies it was important to the plot or story. The answer should be D.

Answer 2

Answer:

D.

Della is sad because she doesn’t have enough money to buy Christmas presents.

What inference can be made about Amelia Earhart? Once a male pilot achieved something, Amelia had to do the same. She enjoyed trying things that no one else had done. Her attempt to fly around the world failed because she was sick. Although she flew airplanes, she secretly worked for the government.

Answers

Answer:

She enjoyed trying things that no one else had done.

Explanation:

Amelia Earhart can best be described as an adventurer. She loved trying new things right from childhood and this shaped her career as a pilot. She was always setting new challenges for herself to overcome. For example, in 1928, she was the first female passenger to cross the Atlantic with pilot Wilmer Stultz.

In 1932, she was the first woman to fly herself alone across the Atlantic Ocean. In 1935 she was declared missing after she engaged in another adventure while circumnavigating the globe in her Lockheed Model 10-E Electra. She was later declared dead in absentia.

How does Friar Lawrence respond to Romeo's new love interest? * He rejoices that Romeo has found someone who loves him He scolds Romeo He fears for Romeo's life

Answers

Answer:

He scolds Romeo.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Ju liet" revolves around the tragic love story of two star crossed lovers who were compelled to their deaths to stay loyal to each other. This story remains one of the most famous stories of true love.

Romeo was previously in love with Rosalind who did not love him back. So, when he saw Ju liet, the daughter of his family's arch-enemy, and she reciprocates, he felt it is true love and decided to be with her, even deciding on marrying her. Friar Lawrence, a friend, and confidante of Romeo, at first scolded him for easily replacing one woman with another. He chided him, commenting "Young men’s love then lies Not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes [. . .] The sun not yet thy sighs from heaven clears, Thy old groans ring yet in my ancient ears". He finds it shocking that Romeo could easily move from loving Rosalind and pining for her to completely in love with Ju liet and even deciding on marriage.

Thus, the correct answer is Friar Lawrence scolded Romeo when he first heard of Romeo's new love interest.

5.) Once again, this is an article (not story) about the history of football, so it is expository text.

6.) This time it is a story (not article) talking about Holocaust, so it is literary text.

7.) Another article explaining something = expository.

8.) Ads are meant to persuade you to buy something, so it would be persuasive writing.

9.) This is explaining the steps to do something so it is considered procedural text.

How do you determine the difference between when a p wave and s wave arrives at a seismogram location?

Answers

Answer:

ANSWER IS BELOW......

Explanation:

As the P and S waves travel out from an earthquake the P waves get progressively farther ahead of the S waves. Therefore, the farther a seismic recording station is from the earthquake epicenter the greater will be the difference in time of arrival between the P and S wave.

Because of their wave movement, P waves travel through any kind of material, whether it is a solid, liquid or gas. On the other hand, S waves only move through solids and are stopped by liquids and gases.

Select two poems from the list provided in the project. using these two poems, write a clear, concise, 250-word essay that compares and contrasts them. make sure you include at least two of the following to support your thesis: tone, point of view, literary devices, or meter.

Answers

Answer:

Focus on the Themes. Show how two poems have similar or different themes such as romantic love, death or courage.

Examine the Mood and Tone. Two poems by the same author can have similar or different moods and tones.

Study Imagery in Both Poems.

Evaluate the Language, Style and Format.

Explanation:

Compare and contrast "Tell Me, O Swan" by Kabir and "The Swan" by Rilke.

Both poems use the swan as a symbol. In the Kabir poem, the swan is seen as a kind of mystery. The poet questions the swan ("From what land do you come / O Swan? to what shore will you fly?") as a way of addressing certain mysteries of life itself. Like the swan, perhaps, each of us is on a journey to an unknown "shore."

Rilke, on the other hand, is a bit more explicit. The swan is the focus of a simile: the "laboring" of humans is like the "lumbering gait" of the swan on land. The image suggests that life is ungainly, awkward, difficult.

This difference suggests a difference in tone and in the relationship of the poet to the subject of the poem. For Kabir, the tone is expressive of a kind of ecstatic truth: the poet tells the swan to "awake, arise, follow me" because the poet can lead the swan to paradise ("where the terror of Death is no more"). In this sense, the Kabir poem is explicitly religious in a way the Rilke poem is not. Rilke seems to address a specific person who faces death
