Answer:
The inference that the reader can make about Simon Wheeler is that B)Simon Wheeler is friends with the Rev. Leonidas W. Smiley.
Explanation:
From The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County by Mark Twain, the reader can make the inference that Simon Wheeler is friends with the Rev. Leonidas W. Smilly because the narrator has a friend living in the East and he writes his friend to look for a man named Simon Wheeler and find out how the narrator's friend Leonidas Smiley is doing.
It turns out that it was a practical joke because there is no such person as Leonidas Smiley but he chose the name "Smiley" so that he would recall "good natured" Jim Smiley and launch into a lengthy narration about him which he eventually does.

Read the passage. (1) Many American men were drafted during World War II. (2) Many other men volunteered to serve. (3) In fact, so many men entered the armed services that professional baseball experienced a shortage of good players. (4) Philip K. Wrigley had an interesting solution to the problem. (5) He started a new league. (6) It was called the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL). (7) To find good players, he scouted women’s softball clubs. (8) They were very popular at that time. (9) The AAGPBL was a hit. (10) In 1948, the year in which the league reached its high point of popularity, more than a million fans came to watch AAGPBL games. (11) The league produced many fine players, including Mary “Bonnie” Baker. (12) Dorothy Kamenshek was also a fine player. (13) After World War II ended, the AAGPBL declined in popularity. (14) In 1954, the league was disbanded. Which is the most effective way to combine sentences (11) and (12)? The league produced many fine players, and they include Mary “Bonnie” Baker and Dorothy Kamenshek. The league produced many fine players, including Mary “Bonnie” Baker and Dorothy Kamenshek. The league produced many fine players, Mary “Bonnie” Baker and Dorothy Kamenshek also was fine. The league produced many fine players, Mary “Bonnie” Baker and Dorothy Kamenshek.
Answer:
"To find good players, he scouted women’s softball clubs, which were very popular at that time." is the correct answer. The last choice makes it sound like he's only scouting the popular women's softball clubs rather than all of them. The second to last option is not grammatically correct because of the comma between scouted and women's. The second option just replaces the period with a comma and and, which makes it still seem as if the two pieces of information are separate.
Explanation:
Which of the following sentences uses an idiom? That game was wicked cool. The girl was sure that the medicine was helping her recover more quickly from her infection. That hot fudge sundae really hit the spot. None of the choices are correct
Answer:
None of the choices are correct.
Explanation:
An idiom is a group of words that are generally accepted to mean a certain thing which is different from their individual meanings.
Example: Over the moon
This is generally accepted to mean that somebody is happy but taking the meanings individually, it does not mean happiness.
So, the correct answer is none of the choices are correct because none of the choices satisfies the conditions above.
Read the following text reproduced from neil postman's amusing ourselves to death.
The television commercial is the most peculiar and pervasive form of communication to issue forth from the electric plug. The move away from the use of propositions in commercial advertising began at the end of the nineteenth century. But it was not until the 1950's that the television commercial made linguistic discourse obsolete as the basis for product decisions. By substituting images for claims, the pictorial commercial made emotional appeal, not tests of truth, the basis for consumer decisions. Which of the following is not a plagiarized version of the above?
a. television commercials have made language obselete as a basis for making decisions about products. the pictorial commercial has substituted images for claims and thereby made emotional appeal, rather than tests of truth, the basis for consumer decisions.
b. postman argues that television commercials do not use language or "tests of truth" to viewers decide whether to buy a product. instead, they rely on images to create an emotional appeal that influences consumers' decisions.
c. the television commercial is a terrible thing. the move away from the use of propositions in commercial advertising began at the end of the nineteenth century. but it was not until the 1950's that the television commercial made linguistic discourse obsolete as the basis for product decisions. by substituting images for claims, the pictorial commercial made emotional appeal, not tests of truth, the basis for consumer decisions.

Answer:
B). Postman argues that television commercials do not use language or "tests of truth" to viewers decide whether to buy a product. Instead, they rely on images to create an emotional appeal that influences consumers' decisions.

It restates the meaning of the passage using different words that help in preventing plagiarism. The other options represent Postman's language as well as ideas without paraphrasing and acknowledgment or citation of the source that eventually plagiarizes them. Thus, option B is the correct answer.

Answer:
2a + 3(a + 1) = 8----->13a − 2a − 4 = 0----->46(2a − a + 1) = 24----->34 + 3(a + 2) = 16----->2Explanation:
Part 1
2a + 3(a + 1) = 8
2a+3a+3=8
5a=8-3
5a=5
a=1
Part 2
3a − 2a − 4 = 0
a-4=0
a=4
Part 3

Subtract 4 from both sides
3(a+2)=16-4
Distribute the Left Hand Side
3a+6=12
Subtract 6 from both sides
3a=12-6
3a=6
Divide both sides by 3

Which word best describes the narrator based on this excerpt?
A. Self-promoting
B. Social
C. Witty
D. Popular
Answer:
B. Social
Explanation:
In the excerpt from "Exhalation", the narrator describes himself in a manner that suggests that he is social. He talks about 'lingering to enjoy his conversations with friends, sharing the news of the day with each other and sharing the air from newly filled lungs'. He also talked about the solidarity and companionship that springs from the fact that they all share air from the same source.
A social person is one who is disposed to friendship with others. So from the excerpt, we can deduce that the narrator is a social person because he enjoys fellowship with his acquaintances.

In the concluding chapter of Pollution and the Death of Man, Udo Middleman discusses how his children have a different view of environmental issues than his generation did1. So much of our worldview is based on the ideas we are exposed to through the media. Explore the environmental issues/attitudes that you see in media. Briefly tell us about a movie, TV show, advertisement, etc. that has an environmental message. What does the literature and the Bible have to say about this
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
I am going to explore the environmental issues/attitudes that I see in the media, taking the case of the film "An Inconvenient Truth," produced by former Democratic candidate to the presidency of the United States, Al Gore.
The film, released in 2006, tries to create conscience about the difficult topic of the damage that humans are inflicting on the environment and how mother Earth tends to react when so much noise, air, and water pollution abounds on the planet. The central topic is global warming, and the film presents testimonials and statistics about the increasing pollution levels in most parts of the earth and the damage industries and means of transportation causes the planet due to carbon dioxide.
Other pieces of literature support these concerns, meanwhile, the Bible warned of the kind of destruction that was created in the past if we sin and do not respect nature as a creation of God.

Option (c) is the correct answer to this question.

Which question best represents the theme Woolf analyzes in A Room of One's Own? OA. Why didn't women write during certain historical periods? B. Why was love not a factor in choosing a husband in the 16th century ? O Why didn't more women become actresses during Shakespeare's day? D. Why were women considered the property of men in the Elizabethan era?
Answer: A. Why didn't women write during certain historical periods?
Explanation:
Woolf analyzes the history literature written by women showing that the lack of time, privacy, and economic self-sufficiency, all required to be able to be writers, were historically denied to women.
She states that it was her aunt´s inheritance that allowed her dedication to write, in opposition to the life of most women.
This theme appears in the title itself since women need a room of their own to be able to write.

changing "yesterday was sunday" into present continuous
Answer:
It will become "Today is Sunday "
Answer:
Today is still SUNDAY
Explanation:
BRUTUS. It must be by his death: and for my part I know no personal cause to spurn at him But for the general. He would be crowned: How that might change his nature, there’s the question. It is the bright day that brings forth the adder, And that craves wary walking. Crown him that, And then I grant we put a sting in him That at his will he may do danger with. Th’ abuse of greatness is when it disjoins Remorse from power. And to speak truth of Caesar, I have not known when his affections swayed More than his reason. But 'tis a common proof That lowliness is young ambition’s ladder, Whereto the climber-upward turns his face; But when he once attains the upmost round, He then unto the ladder turns his back, Looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees By which he did ascend. So Caesar may. Then lest he may, prevent. And since the quarrel Will bear no colour for the thing he is, Fashion it thus: that what he is, augmented, Would run to these and these extremities; And therefore think him as a serpent’s egg Which, hatched, would as his kind grow mischievous, And kill him in the shell. How does the characterization of Caesar in this passage connect to the central idea of the passage? By reflecting on Caesar’s position in society, Brutus comes to realize that Caesar has lost integrity as a ruler and that he must join the plot to assassinate Caesar. When Brutus allows himself to be convinced to join the conspiracy against Caesar, it seals his fate and leads to his ultimate defeat and death. Brutus decides to join the conspiracy against Caesar because he fears that Caesar will become ruthless once he has absolute power. Brutus decides that he must prevent Caesar from becoming ruthless as a result of having absolute power, but in the end it is Brutus who is corrupted by power.
I only read the first two paragraphs after that is repetitive it's more of a sense of nobility on the on the person that has the ability to crown someone no more lest want to start self and I thinking for the greater good of the cause of future and its brightness so do you think negative big negative negative reactions test Tom it's more or less of a I'm serious the person that wants to come the person that does and feels and moves and speaks in a certain way for the greater good of Humanity just by the way the individual states cases wording on the individual that's obviously I understand someone just doesn't want to give it to him cuz sometimes Rigo war of Enlightenment of the best interest instead of inheriting
Read the excerpt from "Gawayne." Now the giant cried aloud: "Yield or fight, King Arthur; which will you do? If you fight I shall conquer you, for you have no power to resist me; you will be my prisoner, with no hope of ransom, will lose your land and spend your life in my dungeon with many other brave knights. If you yield I will hold you to ransom, but you must swear to accept the terms I shall offer." What kind of conflict do the details in this excerpt reveal? character vs. self character vs. society character vs. nature character vs. character
Answer:
Character vs. Character.
Explanation:
In a literary work of art, the conflict is when there are two or more opposing forces that will eventually lead to the rising action and thus lead to another major conflict between the characters or themes/ ideas. This conflict in any plot gives a sense of suspense and holds the readers' interest, making them more absorbed into the story.
In the given excerpt, the conflict is that of a character against another character. This is seen when the giant taunts King Arthur to fight him, revealing his conditions too. If he wins, King Arthur will be put in captive along with "other brave knights" in a dungeon and if he yields, he will still be held in ransom. The giant also feels confident of his victory over the King, laying out his conditions even before the King can reply. This conflict is that of the giant's character against that of the king's.
Answer:
Character vs Character

1. Based on your reading, what does New York City need to change in order to get Mahes, and
people like him, to stop seeking out prison time?|
Answer:
In order to get Mahes, and people like him, to stop seeking out prison time, New York need to establish job opportunities in order to engage such people and/or charity organizations that can house these set of people and endeavour to assist them.
Explanation:
From the text "A Thief Dines Out, Hoping Later to Eat In" By Rick Bragg on The New York Times, we can infer that Mr. Mahes needed were he could eat well and sleep. So he felt that he could get it in the prison.
When Mr. Mahes came into New York City, he thought he was going to find milk and honey but he didn't. People tend to help and feed their own and neglected others
Mr. Mahes and other poor people like him can stay out of prison if there is adequate provisions like adequate job opportunities, free housing, workable charity organizations, etc., that can help them.
