Explanation:
It was in an empty lot
Ringed by elms and fir and honeysuckle.
Bill Corson was pitching in his buckskin jacket,
Chuck Keller, fat even as a boy, was on first,
His t-shirt riding up over his gut,
Ron O'Neill, Jim, Dennis, were talking it up
In the field, a blue sky above them
Tipped with cirrus.
And there I was,
Just off the plane and plopped in the middle
Of Williamsport, Pa. and a neighborhood game,
Unnatural and without any moves,
My notions of baseball and America
Growing fuzzier each time I whiffed.
So it was not impossible that I,
Banished to the outfield and daydreaming
Of water, or a hotel in the mountains,
Would suddenly find myself in the path
Of a ball stung by Joe Barone.
I watched it closing in
Clean and untouched, transfixed
By its easy arc before it hit
My forehead with a thud.
I fell back,
Dazed, clutching my brow,
Groaning, "Oh my shin, oh my shin,"
And everybody peeled away from me
And dropped from laughter, and there we were,
All of us writhing on the ground for one reason
Or another.
Someone said "shin" again,
There was a wild stamping of hands on the ground,
A kicking of feet, and the fit
Of laughter overtook me too,
And that was important, as important
As Joe Barone asking me how I was
Through his tears, picking me up
And dusting me off with hands like swatters, And though my head felt heavy,
I played on till dusk
Missing flies and pop-ups and grounders
And calling out in desperation things like
"Yours" and "take it," but doing all right,
Tugging at my cap in just the right way,
Crouching low, my feet set,
"Hum baby" sweetly on my lips.

Answer:
Getting late for a meeting, need to run’, he said, as he slung his coat over the shoulder, and bounded out of the house. As he drove away, she came running down the stairs two at a time. ‘Wait, wait’, she said, but he had already left. Her mouth crumpled like used wrapping paper. ‘He forgot to give me a goodbye kiss’, she whispered in a voice that trembled under the weight of her hurt. She called him, ‘you left without giving me a kiss’, she said accusingly. ‘I am sorry sweetheart’, he said, his voice contrite. ‘It is okay’, she said, trying to be all grown up as she cut the call. She gulped down her breakfast morosely, wore her shoes, picked up her school bag and started to walk out of the door, her shoulders slumped. As she climbed down the steps, the car glided to a stop outside the house. He got out of the car. She ran to him, her whole face lit up like a Christmas tree. ‘I am sorry I forgot’, he said, as he picked her up and hugged her. She said nothing. Her jaw ached from smiling. Fifteen years later, no one would remember he was late for a meeting, but a little girl would never ever forget that her father drove all the way back home just to kiss her goodbye!

Read this excerpt from President Franklin Roosevelt’s speech following Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor. Which two parts show the president’s confidence that the United States will win the war against Japan?
The facts of yesterday and today speak for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our Nation.
As Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense.
But always will our whole Nation remember the character of the onslaught against us.
No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory. I believe that I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again endanger us.
Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory, and our interests are in grave danger.
With confidence in our armed forces—with the unbounding determination of our people—we will gain the inevitable triumph- so help us God

Write a letter to the editor about the misuse of wall chalking
Answer and Explanation:
North Colony
Kolkata, West Bengal
18 Jan, 2021
To
The Editor
The Telegraph
Kolkata - 725221
Subject: Misuse of wall chalking.
Respected Sir / Madam,
Through the columns of your esteemed daily, I would like to venture my views on the misuse of wall chalking.
The peoples are misusing the walls of the buildings and homes which are not public figures. They are using the posters and flyers on the walls of private buildings. The authorities should provide notice boards all around to prevent this to happen.
Even it has already been written on walls that not to use these walls for advertisement and campaigns and for any other personal use but people don’t understand that.
Most people do violence if they are being instructed. The authorities should provide notice boards to prevent this.
Hence, I request you to publish an article on this topic so that the authorities can see and make them perfect.
Thank you
Yours faithfully

Answer:
Alcohol belongs in the category of psychoactive substances one can legally buy in almost any
country, according to certain criteria. Most often, this criterion is age; in the majority of cases, it
is set to 21 years. However, in a number of countries, such as Australia, China, and Russia, it is
set to 18 (ICAP). In the United states, calls for lowering the drinking age have sounded for a rather
long time; considering that alcohol can lead to unpredictable behavior and other negative social
consequences, the drinking age should not be lowered.
One of the first associations that come to mind when talking about alcohol is driving. For citizens
of the United States, having a car is seen as a must starting from the age when a teenager is
allowed to receive a driving license. According to data provided by the organization Mothers
Against Drunk Driving, in 2010, a high percentage of car accidents connected to drunk driving
(15.1% out of 10.228 individuals) was observed among young people aged between 18-20 years.
Respectively, if youths were officially allowed to consume alcohol from 18 years old, this index
of car accidents would necessarily be much higher. Moreover, the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration claims that since establishing the drinking age of 21 in 1975, the number of car
fatalities among 18-20-year-old drivers in the United States decreased by 13%.

C
It is a rhetorical question that shows the speaker's exasperation.
D

Answer:
It is a rhetorical question that shows the speaker's exasperation.
Explanation:
In the poem, Walking Alone by Lawrence Raab, we read about the feeling of frustration the poet feels in a bid to reconnect with his lost love. He resorts to the writing of poems and the recitation of it to help him deal with the absence.
However, this skill does not seem to do much for him as he ended the poem by asking what his fingers were doing writing the poems all over again. This is a rhetorical question (a question meant to stress a point rather than to demand an answer) that highlighted his frustration.
How does the interaction of the elements of character, setting, and plot help develop and shape the themes in “ The Miracle Worker”? Use the details you have compiled from analyzing the play to identify how:

2. The plot shapes the characters and their relationships to one another.
The characters influence the plot.
3. The dramatic elements help present the theme or themes.

Explanation:
"In an earlier post on The Miracle Worker, we looked at the relationship between Annie Sullivan and Helen Keller. Thematic discussions and explorations when analyzing a play like The Miracle Worker can also be helpful when attempting to connect a play’s characters, actions, and plot to an overall idea. Discovering and establishing certain core themes can lead to even more discovery on the part of the reader. Here are three themes that are important in William Gibson’s play of Annie Sullivan, Helen Keller, and the Keller family."
The interaction of the elements of character, setting, and plot help develop and shape the themes in “The Miracle Worker” are the plot shapes the characters and their relationships to one another. Thus, option (2) is correct.
What is the theme "The Miracle Worker”?The great English literature story "The Miracle Worker" was enjoyed on July 28, 1962. Helen Keller's Story, William Gibson. Helen Keller became blind and deaf as a baby after contracting a horrible fever. The performance of Anne Bancroft as Anne Sullivan is sophisticated and heartbreaking.
"In an earlier piece on The Miracle Worker, we look at Annie Sullivan and Helen Keller's friendship. The Miracle Worker could also be useful when seeking to relate the characters, activities, and narrative of a play to a larger notion. There was a story character to one of the relationships.
As a result, the plot shapes the characters and their relationships to one another. Therefore, option (2) is correct.

"Friendship is a single soul dwelling in two bodies"
How you all are with opinion essay?
To the query, 'what is a friend?' Aristotle's response was 'a single soul dwelling in two bodies.'" These friends are the ones who most likely know us better than we know ourselves, and whose names are forever branded on our heart (Parrott & Parrott, 1998). Consider for a moment, which of these people are in your life; your friendship with them didn't happen in the blink of an eye. Over time we gradually begin to let these people see who we really are, and our friendship begins to grow into something memorable. "Friends are what have enriched my life. Oh, I have loved my family, but it's not the same. Friends have brought me more of the world; they've added spice and variety" (Apter & Josselson, 1998). We are born into our family, but one amazing thing about our life is that we have the ability to choose our friends. There are some common characteristics that span across all types of friendships: rules shape the friendship, can last a lifetime and typically consist of people in the same age range (Floyd, 2009). How are cross-se% friendships similar to same-s% friendships? How are they different? Using major motion pictures that depict this remarkable bond between friends, we realize the qualities these friendships possess that make them similar and yet how different they really are.
