Read the passage from "The Lady, or the Tiger.”

This semi-barbaric king had a daughter as blooming as his most florid fancies, and with a soul as fervent and imperious as his own. As is usual in such cases, she was the apple of his eye, and was loved by him above all humanity. Among his courtiers was a young man of that fineness of blood and lowness of station common to the conventional heroes of romance who love royal maidens. This royal maiden was well satisfied with her lover, for he was handsome and brave to a degree unsurpassed in all this kingdom, and she loved him with an ardor that had enough of barbarism in it to make it exceedingly warm and strong. This love affair moved on happily for many months, until one day the king happened to discover its existence.

Which conclusion does the passage best support?

The princess is strongly barbaric, so she will choose the tiger.
The princess loves the young man enough to choose the lady.
The king is semi-barbaric, so he will make sure the young man gets the tiger.
The king loves his daughter strongly enough that he will pardon the young man.

Answers

Answer:

I believe it's A

Explanation:

I took the test a while back. If I recall correctly, the answer is A.

The conclusion that is best supported by the passage is that the princess in strongly barbaric, so she will choose the tiger, as expressed in option A.

Will the princess choose the tiger?

The narrator of "The Lady, or the Tiger" makes a point of explaining that the princess is quite barbaric, just like her father is. The king was barbaric enough to come with a trial that either forces a man to marry a woman or to  be killed by a tiger.

If the princess is so similar to her father, we can assume her jealousy and selfishness will be such that she will choose the tiger for the man she loves. She will not be able to stand the idea of his being married to another woman.

With the information above in mind, we can choose option A as the correct answer.

How does this passage demonstrate the use of propaganda? It uses bandwagon by claiming that Snowball was fighting alongside Jones. It uses scapegoating by blaming Snowball for actions he is not responsible for. It uses hyperbole by exaggerating Snowball’s actions during the Battle of the Cowshed. It uses repetition by repeating tales of Snowball’s actions during the Battle of the Cowshed.

Answers

This question is missing the passage. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Read the passage from Animal Farm.

In April, Animal Farm was proclaimed a Republic, and it became necessary to elect a President. There was only one candidate, Napoleon, who was elected unanimously. On the same day it was given out that fresh documents had been discovered which revealed further details about Snowball's complicity with Jones. It now appeared that Snowball had not, as the animals had previously imagined, merely attempted to lose the Battle of the Cowshed by means of a stratagem, but had been openly fighting on Jones's side. In fact, it was he who had actually been the leader of the human forces, and had charged into battle with the words "Long live Humanity!" on his lips. The wounds on Snowball's back, which a few of the animals still remembered to have seen, had been inflicted by Napoleon's teeth.

How does this passage demonstrate the use of propaganda?

A. It uses bandwagon by claiming that Snowball was fighting alongside Jones.

B. It uses scapegoating by blaming Snowball for actions he is not responsible for.

C. It uses hyperbole by exaggerating Snowball’s actions during the Battle of the Cowshed.

D. It uses repetition by repeating tales of Snowball’s actions during the Battle of the Cowshed.

Answer:

The passage demonstrates the use of propaganda because:

B. It uses scapegoating by blaming Snowball for actions he is not responsible for.

Explanation:

Scapegoating is a propaganda technique used to relieve someone from guilt or responsibility by blaming someone else. It distracts people's attention to the one being blamed, preventing them from focusing on the problem itself and the fact that it needs to be fixed.

The passage we are analyzing here is an example of scapegoating. It was taken from the allegorical novella "Animal Farm", by George Orwell, in which the animals are used to represent the leaders and the people of Russia after the revolutions that led to the Soviet regime.

Napoleon, one of the pigs, has become a dictator on the farm. To divert the animals' attention from the atrocities he is committing, he blames Snowball, a pig who no longer lives at the farm. In reality, Snowball was the one pig who truly worked to benefit all the animals. Napoleon kicked him out of the farm in order to obtain power for himself. Now, he uses Snowball as a scapegoat, blaming him for things he has never done. By doing that, Napoleon controls, confuses, and scares the other animals.

Answer:

B. It uses scapegoating by blaming Snowball for actions he is not responsible for.

The Necklace

She was one of those pretty and charming girls born, as though fate had blundered over her, into a family of artisans. She had no marriage portion, no expectations, no means of getting known, understood, loved, and wedded by a man of wealth and distinction; and she let herself be married off to a little clerk in the Ministry of Education. Her tastes were simple because she had never been able to afford any other, but she was as unhappy as though she had married beneath her; for women have no caste or class, their beauty, grace, and charm serving them for birth or family, their natural delicacy, their instinctive elegance, their nimbleness of wit, are their only mark of rank, and put the slum girl on a level with the highest lady in the land.

She suffered endlessly, feeling herself born for every delicacy and luxury. She suffered from the poorness of her house, from its mean walls, worn chairs, and ugly curtains. All these things, of which other women of her class would not even have been aware, tormented and insulted her. The sight of the little Breton girl who came to do the work in her little house aroused heart-broken regrets and hopeless dreams in her mind. She imagined silent antechambers, heavy with Oriental tapestries, lit by torches in lofty bronze sockets, with two tall footmen in knee-breeches sleeping in large arm-chairs, overcome by the heavy warmth of the stove. She imagined vast saloons hung with antique silks, exquisite pieces of furniture supporting priceless ornaments, and small, charming, perfumed rooms, created just for little parties of intimate friends, men who were famous and sought after, whose homage roused every other woman's envious longings.

When she sat down for dinner at the round table covered with a three-days-old cloth, opposite her husband, who took the cover off the soup-tureen, exclaiming delightedly: "Aha! Scotch broth! What could be better?" she imagined delicate meals, gleaming silver, tapestries peopling the walls with folk of a past age and strange birds in faery forests; she imagined delicate food served in marvelous dishes, murmured gallantries, listened to with an inscrutable smile as one trifled with the rosy flesh of trout or wings of asparagus chicken.

She had no clothes, no jewels, nothing. And these were the only things she loved; she felt that she was made for them. She had longed so eagerly to charm, to be desired, to be wildly attractive and sought after.

She had a rich friend, an old school friend whom she refused to visit, because she suffered so keenly when she returned home. She would weep whole days, with grief, regret, despair, and misery.


Read each of the excerpts below from “The Necklace.” Most of them provide textual evidence for a theme related to the main character's belief that having more money would make her happy. Which excerpt is NOT related to this theme.

They walked down towards the Seine, desperate and shivering. At last they found on the quay one of those old night-prowling carriages which are only to be seen in Paris after dark, as though they were ashamed of their shabbiness in the daylight.

One evening her husband came home with an exultant air, holding a large envelope in his hand. "Here's something for you," he said. Swiftly she tore the paper and drew out a printed card on which were these words: "The Minister of Education and Madame Ramponneau request the pleasure of the company of Monsieur and Madame Loisel at the Ministry on the evening of Monday, January the 18th."

"I'm utterly miserable at not having any jewels, not a single stone, to wear," she replied. "I shall look absolutely no one. I would almost rather not go to the party." "Wear flowers," he said. "They're very smart at this time of the year. For ten francs you could get two or three gorgeous roses." She was not convinced.

Explanation:  

To make Comparative sentences, we have to write the subject, then the adjective, the word than, and the other object or person. If the adjective is short, we add to it the suffix -er, but if it has more than three syllables, like beautiful, we write the word more before the adjective without -er. For example, Angelina is more beautiful than Kristen.

To write Superlative sentences, which are sentences where we do not compare subjects, but we state that one is superior. We write the subject and the adjective with the suffix -est. If the adjective is long, has more than three syllables, we use the phrase the most before the adjective. For example, Pique is the most beautiful football player.

The adjectives good and bad change when we write sentences in comparative and superlative. Good in comparative becomes better and in superlative best. Bad becomes worse and in superlative worst.

What is paragraph?

A paragraph  is a self-contained unit of discourse in writing dealing with a particular point or idea. Though not required by the orthographic conventions of any language with a writing system, paragraphs are a conventional means of organizing extended segments of prose.

The oldest classical British and Latin writing had little or no space between words and could be written in boustrophedon. Over time, text direction (left to right) became standardized. Word dividers and terminal punctuation became common. The first way to divide sentences into groups was the original paragraphos, similar to an underscore at the beginning of the new group. The Greek parágraphos evolved into the pilcrow (¶), which in English manuscripts in the Middle Ages can be seen inserted inline between sentences.
