Which lines from the passage support the theme "true
strength is knowing when not to act"?
"Here is your part at break of day tomorrow /home
with you, go mingle with our princes."
"The swineherd later on will take me down the
port-side trail - a beggar, by my looks, / hangdog
and old."
"If they make fun of me/in my own courtyard, let
your ribs cage up/ your springing heart, no matter
what I suffer."

Answers

ANSWER: The answer is C

If they make fun of me / in my own courtyard, let your ribs cage up / your springing heart, no matter what I suffer.

EVIDENCE:

The lines from the passage which best support the theme “true strength is knowing when not to act” are:

“If they make fun of me in my own courtyard, let your ribs cage up your springing heart, no matter what I suffer, no matter if they pull me by the heels or practice shots at me, to drive me out. Look on, hold down your anger.”

There are some parts that have special meaning and add a more solid example of self-control: “let your ribs cage up your springing heart”, this means that Odyssey has to suppress his feelings. And of course: "Look on, hold down your anger.” This quotation requires no explanation.

PLEASE HELP!!

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Let's focus on each part at a time.

Phrase or Clause? the best choice for the words in BOLD.

1.) GRABBING A SANDWHICH, Rene hurried off to join his friends.

2.) Ms. Smith’s only comment ON MY PAPER was that my handwriting was difficult to read.

--> A clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a predicate. A clause MUST contain a verb. A phrase is a group of words that stand together and express a concept. A phrase is often a part of a sentence or a clause. With that in mind, we can answer:

1.) GRABBING A SANDWHICH, Rene hurried off to join his friends.  --> clause

2.) Ms. Smith’s only comment ON MY PAPER was that my handwriting was difficult to read. --> phrase

Independent Clause, Dependent Clause, or Phrase?

3.) Even though John likes ham, HE HATES MARMALADE

4.) EVEN THOUGH JOHN LIKES HAM, he hates marmalade

5.) THE WAX IS MELTING because it is too hot

6.) The wax is melting BECAUSE IT IS TOO HOT

7.) I WANTED TO GO TO THE ZOO, so we packed up and left

8.)I wanted to go to the zoo, SO WE PACKED UP AND LEFT

--> An independent clause is able to express a full idea on its own. On the other hand, a dependent clause needs the main clause to make sense. Dependent clauses begin with subordinate conjunctions. Check the definition for phrase above.

3.) Even though John likes ham, HE HATES MARMALADE  --> independent clause

4.) EVEN THOUGH JOHN LIKES HAM, he hates marmalade  --> dependent clause

5.) THE WAX IS MELTING because it is too hot  --> independent clause

6.) The wax is melting BECAUSE IT IS TOO HOT  --> dependent clause

7.) I WANTED TO GO TO THE ZOO, so we packed up and left  --> independent clause

8.)I wanted to go to the zoo, SO WE PACKED UP AND LEFT --> independent clause ("so" is a coordinating conjunction)

Coordinating Conjunction or Subordinating Conjunction?

9.) EVEN THOUGH John likes jam, he hates marmalade

10.) The wax is melting BECAUSE it is too hot

11.) I wanted to go to the zoo, SO we packed up and left

12.) Tomorrow is his birthday, BUT i forgot to get a gift

--> There is an easy acronym to help memorize the coordinating conjunctions: FANBOYS (for, and, not, but, or, yet, so). By elimination, we can easily recognize the ones that are subordinating conjunctions:

9.) EVEN THOUGH John likes jam, he hates marmalade  --> subordinating

10.) The wax is melting BECAUSE it is too hot  --> subordinating

11.) I wanted to go to the zoo, SO we packed up and left  --> coordinating

12.) Tomorrow is his birthday, BUT i forgot to get a gift --> coordinating

What Conjunction is in the sentence below?

WHEN the moon shore, HE lurked in

13.) WHEN or HE?

--> "He" is a subject pronoun, not a conjunction. Therefore, the only possibility for a correct answer is the other option, "when".

How would a book written by an anthropologist about an indigenous group of people be different from an autobiography of one of the people's elders?

Answers

Explanation:

A book written by an anthropologist would be less connected to the lives and culture of the people and therefore would be more factual, while an autobiography would be written more personally and include some aspects of the culture in a more specifically connected way.

Read this excerpt from Little Women.

Money is a needful and precious thing,—and, when well used, a noble thing,—but I never want you to think it is the first or only prize to strive for. I'd rather see you poor men's wives, if you were happy, beloved, contented, than queens on thrones, without self- respect and peace.
Marmee tells her daughters this shortly after Meg returns from a fortnight with the well-to-do Moffats. Amy and Meg have both wanted to have nicer things and be a part of high society, but cannot because Father lost their wealth. Without marrying well, they will never have more than they do right now and will always have to work. Selecting either Meg or Amy as the focus of your answer, discuss whether either girl learns the lesson Marmee tries to teach them here. Use details to explain why they have or have not.

Answers

Answer:

I feel Meg will learn this lesson in a short amount of time.

Explanation:

Meg has just encountered the upper class, she has experienced what it is like in their shoes. Depending on how the interaction went will decide how Meg chooses to pursue her wish of being seen as a queen. I know from prior knowledge that Meg’s enjoyed herself but was embarrassed when her sister caught her acting as someone else.

Answer:

I think Meg learns a bit more about the lesson that Marmee teaches them

Explanation:

In the text, It says nothing about Amy being "helpful, or generous" but it does say that she wants to have nicer things and be a part of higher society.

In the text, it does say one thing about Meg. She returns with the well-to-do moffats. Which I think, she returned ONLY because of the well being of the moffats, which is a family. So she did something good in my opinion.

Although I am not sure of the meaning of, " She returns with the well-to-do moffats" So do please correct me if I am wrong

Answers

Answer:

Even if something is cruel, people have the tendency to follow the crowd and participate.

Explanation:

The given question refers to the text The Lottery written by Shirley Jackson. It tells about a lottery that takes place in a village every year. All of the villagers participate, despite some of them initially not wanting to. The entire time we think that it's a typical lottery, but, in the end, it turns out that the villagers are choosing whom they're going to stone.

The options you were given are the following:

Even if something is cruel, people have the tendency to follow the crowd and participate. Sometimes a few people must be sacrificed to ensure the group’s survival.  Important decisions should not be made by lotteries. Traditions help people understand the past.

Based on the information about what the text is about, we can conclude that its theme is that, even if something is cruel, people have the tendency to follow the crowd and participate.

The scientist received high marks for his brilliance and his humour.

Explanation:

Faulty parallelism is an error in the structure of a sentence characterized by two parts of the sentence having different structures.

In spoken communication it can be easily heard, and although the intended meaning of the sentence can be understood, it usually confuses the listener and gives the impression of an uneducated speaker.

However, it can easily be corrected by rewriting sentence using only one structure for both parts. This particular sentence could be rewritten as:

1) The scientist received high marks for his brilliance and his humour.

or

2) The scientist received high marks because he was brilliant and because he was humorous.

I believe students should not be graded in school, because it lowers their self esteem and puts pressure on them. Most students try their best but sometimes their best is not good enough. When they see that their classmates are getting better grades then they put pressure on themselves to try to achieve the same thing. This is unhealthy and can result in anxiety later on in life. If a student gets a bad grade and everyone else gets good grades, then it could make that person feel bad and make them think they aren’t smart enough. In conclusion, I think students should not be graded in school because it can have a negative impact on them.

How is this excerpt representative of free verse?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

"Crossing Brooklyn Ferry" is the poem by Walt Whitman that made him a pioneer of free verse. Free verse happens when a poem does not follow any rules for meter or rhyme schemes. Let's take a look at the excerpt provided:

Just as you feel when you look on the river and sky, so I felt,

Just as any of you is one of a living crowd, I was one of a crowd,

Just as you are refresh’d by the gladness of the river and the bright flow, I was refresh’d,

Just as you stand and lean on the rail, yet hurry with the swift current, I stood yet was hurried,

Just as you look on the numberless masts of ships and the thick-stemm’d pipes of steamboats, I

look’d.

Each line has a different length, so to speak. It is clear that Whitman had no concern for the number of syllables and the rhythm to be the same in each line. When we look at the last word or sound of the lines, we notice the same lack of concern for them to be similar or equal. We can tell there is the repetition of the phoneme /t/ at the end of each last word, but that is not enough to characterize rhyming. This is why this excerpt is a representative of free verse.
