Answer:
C: She wishes to calm Mary and cover up her own lack of composure.
Explanation:
Jane Austen's "Persuasion" revolves around the life of a young woman named Anne Elliot and her struggles with family, love, and friendship. The novel deals with the common themes of social status, class rigidity, marriage, and one's profession as deemed 'fit' in a society.
In the given passage from the text, Mary revealed she saw Mr. Elliot and Mrs. Clay together which Anne denied for Mr. Elliot "was to leave Bath at nine this morning, and does not come back till to-morrow." But when Mary insisted it was them, Anne had no choice but to go and see for herself. She did it mainly to calm Mary and also to hide her embarrassment in not knowing what is really going on or who Mr. Elliot really is.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
Great Gatsby Seminar What roles do telephones and cars play in the development of the novel?
Answer and Explanation:
In "The Great Gatsby", a novel by author F. Scott Fitzgerald, telephones and cars are as important for the development of the plot as the characters themselves.
When it comes to telephones, it is through them that mysteries are either created or unveiled. Right from the start of the novel, Tom's lover calls him at home in the middle of dinner. That causes a fight between Tom and Daisy and leads Nick, the narrator, to learn of Tom's infidelity. Gatsby is also constantly being told there is someone on the phone for him, however the revelation concerning his calls comes later on in the plot. It turns out that Gatsby is a criminal, and the phone calls are from his partners and cronies. If it weren't for his crimes, Gatsby wouldn't be rich enough to pursue Daisy. Without Tom's infidelities, Daisy might have never cheated on him with her old boyfriend Gatsby. Telephones, therefore, help things take their course in the novel.
The same goes for cars. The characters are constantly driving and being driven. Their cars represent their power, wealth, and desires. The first time Daisy meets up with Gatsby at Nick's house, she is driven in the rain. When Tom pays a visit to his lover, he uses his car as an excuse to talk to her husband. Whenever any of them, Tom or Gatsby, wants to go to the city to do their shady businesses - money related or not -, they take their cars. Finally, Tom's lover is run over and killed by Daisy when she is driving back from the city, uneasy and pressured by Tom and Gatsby. This tragedy leads to the final tragedy, which is Gatsby's own death. Cars, as well as telephones, are crucial for conflicts to develop in the story.

Correct the sentence below.
Self-compassion is made up of mindfulness, the ability to manage thoughts and emotions without being carried away or repressing them, common humanity, or empathy with the suffering of others, and self-kindness, a recognition of your own suffering and a commitment to solving the problem.
(A) away or repressing them, common humanity, or empathy with the suffering of others,
(B) away, or repression of them, and common humanity, or empathy with the suffering of others,
(C) away, or repressing them, common humanity, empathy with the suffering of others;
(D) away or repressing them; common humanity, an empathy with the suffering of others;
(E) away or repress them; common humanity, to empathize with the suffering of others
Answer:
(D) away or repressing them; common humanity, an empathy with the suffering of others;
Explanation:
The sentence needs the use of semicolons to identify the different nouns with their explanation that self-compassion is made up of. As a result, the list of components of self-compassion share the same parallel structure, which consists of a noun followed by a comma and its definition. Thus, the correct and complete version is the following:
Self-compassion is made up of mindfulness, the ability to manage thoughts and emotions without being carried away or repressing them; common humanity, an empathy with the suffering of others; and self-kindness, a recognition of your own suffering and a commitment to solving the problem.

The man sped down the road until a police officer stops them.
A sentence diagram. The first horizontal line has words man sped. Below man is the word the. Below sped are the words down road. Below down road is the word the. Below sped is the word until next to a dotted vertical line. A second horizontal line has words officer stops them. Below officer is the word a and the word police on separate lines.
How should this sentence be corrected? Select all that apply.
1.Change “Down the road” to “until he stopped.”
2.Change the word “until” to “so that.”
3.Change the pronoun “them” to the pronoun “him.”
4.Change “A police officer” to “the man.”
5.Change “stops” to “stopped.”
Answer:
3. change the pronoun "them" to the pronoun "him"
a man is speeding down the road, not men; therefore the pronoun should be singular not plural.
5. change "stops" to "stopped"
this sentence is written in past tense, so "stopped" would be used

Read the excerpt from It's Our World, Too!: Young People Who Are Making a Difference. In his small Idaho school, football meant everything to Ernesto ("Neto”) Villareal, sixteen, the team’s star running back. And yet when he heard fans screaming racial insults at him and his Hispanic-American teammates, he wondered how he could keep playing for fans who felt that way. The insults also bothered Andy Percifield, a white student leader. When Neto and Andy teamed up, each using his own special power, fans began to feel heat they had never felt before. The details of this excerpt reveal the author’s purpose by explaining why the fans acted like they did. including facts and details about the topic. encouraging the reader to believe in something. expressing opinions about a topic.
Answer:
The details of this excerpt reveal the author’s purpose by
b. including facts and details about the topic.
Explanation:
This excerpt does not at any moment explain why the fans acted the way they did. We can only come up with assumptions, but nothing is clear. We are not told why they screamed those insults nor why they "feel the heat". We can eliminate option A.
Option C is also wrong since the author does not address the reader. There is also no encouraging of beliefs. We are told how the characters feel, but the author does not establish a sense of right and wrong, or of just and unjust.
Option D can also be eliminated. The author does not express any opinions concerning a topic. Again, we know how Neto and Andy feel about the fans' behavior, but that is all.
We are thus left with option B. The details the author gives us about the way the characters feel are enough for us to elicit the topic of the excerpt. It certainly concerns racial prejudice and how it affects people.
Answer:
The purpose of the author in this excerpt is to highlight the issue of racial insults and discrimination in a small Idaho school and to showcase how two individuals, Neto and Andy, with their respective abilities, worked together to challenge and change the fans' behavior. The author aims to shed light on the impact of such insults on Neto and his Hispanic-American teammates, as well as on Andy, who felt bothered by the situation despite being a white student. By emphasizing the collaboration between Neto and Andy and the "heat" the fans began to feel, the author aims to inspire readers to recognize the power they have to make a difference and stand up against discrimination and injustice. The author's purpose, therefore, is to encourage the reader to believe in the ability to create positive change and challenge negative attitudes and behaviors.
Explanation:
I’m a story about gladiators, which character is most clearly round? A. Camilla, the stranger from Gaul who is trying to make a new life in Rome B. Flavius, the uncaring emperor who eats grapes and bullies his subjects C. Cecilia, the fierce animal tamer who delights in unleashing the lions D. Lucius, the gladiator who lives for bloodshed and wants nothing but glory
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
A round character is one that we have a lot of detail on. A flat character is one that we do not know much about (things like backstory, feelings, etc.)
Usually the round character is the main character. Out of these answer options, Camilla looks like the main character because stories usually aren't focused on villains (B and D) and Cecilia seems like more of a side character, so I believe Camilla is the main character.
She also seems the most round because it says that she is from Gaul and she wants to make a new life in Rome. We already have much more backstory to her than the others, so the the round character is A. Camilla, the stranger from Gaul who is trying to make a new life in Rome.
Have a wonderful day! :D
Answer: Camilla, the stranger from Gaul who is trying to make a new life in Rome

Modern day writing is only slightly different. Today, we don't use English like Shakespeare did. Shakespeare wrote more than just plays, he wrote poems and some books. Today, authors like J.K. Rowling use their imagination more to create stories about wizards and kids with magical powers. Back then, they did not come up with such magical powers unless it spoke about God or Jesus.
Identify the sentence in which modifiers are correctly placed. A. Morris ate a hamburger at a diner, full of grease and fat. B. Morris ate a hamburger, which was full of grease and fat, at a diner. C. Morris ate, being full of grease and fat, a hamburger at a diner. D. Full of grease and fat, Morris ate a hamburger at a diner.
Answer:
B). Morris ate a hamburger, which was full of grease and fat, at a diner.
Explanation:
The second sentence employs the modifier correctly as it places the modifier('which was full of grease and fat') immediately followed by the noun it describes i.e. 'hamburger.' It is also punctuated correctly with the use of commas(,) at the beginning and end of the modifier. Thus, it appropriately justifies the rule. The other options are incorrect as they incorrectly place the modifier after the verb, besides other noun(which it doesn't describe), or in place of the subject. Thus, option B is the correct answer.

What is the main message of 1984 ?The main message of George Orwell's novel 1984 is to alert readers to the perils of dictatorship. The book's main goal is to illustrate the utmost level of control and authority that would be feasible under a really totalitarian system. It investigates the effects such a governmental structure might have on society and the individuals who inhabit it.
The 1949 publication of George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-four, often known as 1984, served as a warning against tyranny. Readers were deeply affected by the terrifying dystopia, and his ideas infiltrated popular society in a level that was only seldom possible with novels.
