The quotation refers to the canonization of the young Maria Goretti who was brutally murdered at the age of 11, when she refused to lie down and have sex with a man who tried to r4p3 her. Maria Goretti fought against his attacker while shouting that he would rather die than practice this sin, which caused his attacker to deliver 11 knife blows against the girl who struck his vital organs and caused his death. Because of her courage to protect her chastity and turn away from sin even in such a violent moment, she was canonized. As Christian principles say that every being who serves God must forgive his enemies and those who do him wrong, people believed that Mary had forgiven her attacker and therefore would like him to observe his canonization with her mother.
The quote questions if this was not too much. And if her killer should even receive this act of human compassion. Even canonized Maria Goretti was a human being who did not wish to die so violently, moreover, this act of kindness and Christian faith may have provided a very frustrating and traumatic moment for Maria's mother who had to accompany the ceremony alongside someone who did her daughter so badly.
3. Lehna talks about a look he sometimes receives from "people who know about my past," a look that tells him that "society did not like me" and that people doubted his character. We're willing to bet you feel quite differently after reading his story. How does lehna connect with his audience in this piece and establish his credibility?
Answer:
Lehna connects with her audience through thoughts common to most people. This generates identification, which allows a credibility with the character to be established.
Explanation:
As you can see in the question above, Lehna expresses feelings that make him feel inadequate and rejected by society. He feels that society judges him and does not accept him for things of the past. He feels lonely and disengaged from this world. These are feelings common to every human being. We all feel that way as if the weight of all the judgment in the world is on our shoulders, just as Lehna feels.
This makes the audience create an identification with the person and as everyone knows these feelings, the character gains credibility and his drama makes sense to the audience that accompanies him.

ow do the underlined words and phrases in the passage create meaning? They explain the porter's anxiety at meeting a well-known man. They set up a threatening conflict between Sindbad and the porter. They describe the layout of the dining hall and the porter's location in it. They demonstrate Sindbad's respectability and his generosity toward the porter.
This question is incomplete because the passage is missing; here is the complete question:
Read the passage from "The Seven Voyages of Sindbad the Sailor.”
[The porter] followed the servant into a vast room, where a great company was seated round a table covered with all sorts of delicacies. In the place of honor sat a tall, grave man, whose long white beard gave him a venerable air. Behind his chair stood a crowd of attendants eager to minister to his wants. This was the famous Sindbad himself. The porter, more than ever alarmed at the sight of so much magnificence, tremblingly saluted the noble company. Sindbad, making a sign to him to approach, caused him to be seated at his right hand, and himself heaped choice morsels upon his plate, and poured out for him a draught of excellent wine, and presently, when the banquet drew to a close, spoke to him familiarly, asking his name and occupation.
How do the underlined words and phrases in the passage create meaning? A. They explain the porter's anxiety at meeting a well-known man.
B. They set up a threatening conflict between Sindbad and the porter.
C. They describe the layout of the dining hall and the porter's location in it.
D. They demonstrate Sindbad's respectability and his generosity toward the porter.
The answer to this question is D. They demonstrate Sindbad's respectability and his generosity toward the porter.
Explanation:
In the passage, the narrator describes a meeting between the porter and Sindbad who is a respectable man. The idea of respectability is emphasized by the underlined sections such as "a tall, grave man, whose long white beard gave him a venerable air" that shows this man is venerable, and therefore respectable or "This was the famous Sindbad himself" because the word famous emphasizes this quality. Additionally, underlined sections such as "heaped choice morsels upon his plate" or "spoke to him familiarly" show Sindbad is generous with the porter because he does not mind sharing his food and benefits with the porter and is kind when he speaks to him.

Read the passage from Animal Farm. It had come to his knowledge, he said, that a foolish and wicked rumour had been circulated at the time of Boxer's removal. Some of the animals had noticed that the van which took Boxer away was marked "Horse Slaughterer," and had actually jumped to the conclusion that Boxer was being sent to the knacker's. It was almost unbelievable, said Squealer, that any animal could be so stupid. Surely, he cried indignantly, whisking his tail and skipping from side to side, surely they knew their beloved Leader, Comrade Napoleon, better than that? But the explanation was really very simple. The van had previously been the property of the knacker, and had been bought by the veterinary surgeon, who had not yet painted the old name out. That was how the mistake had arisen. Which statement best expresses the theme of the passage? Workers need to organize for better health care. Dictatorships use lies to manipulate the populace. Sometimes, you cannot trust what you see with your own eyes. Relying on others is the only way to get through difficult times.
Answer:
Dictatorships use lies to manipulate the populace.Explanation:
This quote, which comes after Boxer is sent to slaughter, is basically Squealer coming with lies to get away with what the pigs have done. This is an allegory for the propaganda that Russia put out when they killed someone that said things to the contrary of what they really did.
I'm always happy to help :)Dictatorships use lies to manipulate the populace is the statement best expresses the theme of the passage. Hence, option B is correct.
What is Dictatorships?A dictatorship is a system of government that is defined by a leader or group of leaders who hold significant amounts of unchecked power. A dictator is the person in charge of a dictatorship.
A dictatorship is a system of government in which a person or group has unrestricted authority, which is not based on historic legitimacy but rather on a constitution or other regulations.
The suspension of elections and civil liberties, the declaration of a state of emergency, the imposition of rule by decree, the repression of political opponents, the disregard for legal procedures, and the presence of a cult of personality centered on the ruler are some of the characteristics of dictatorships.
Thus, option B is correct.

Which of the following pronouns can take either a
singular or a plural verb?
A) Anyone
B) Nobody
C) Several
D) Some
Answer:
The pronoun that can take either a singular or a plural verb is:
D) some.
Explanation:
The other pronouns are specific in their number. "Anyone" and "nobody" demand a singular verb, while "several" always accompanies a plural noun, needing a plural verb:
- Anyone knows how to make a cake from scratch?
- Nobody likes to be left alone.
- Several men are marching up the street.
On the other hand, "some" can accompany nouns that are either singular or plural. Therefore, the verb that follows can also be singular or plural:
- Some (of the books) are torn.
- Some (of the soup) has been eaten.
Therefore, our answer is letter D) some.

What do you think the quilts represent in the story? Considering this line and the title of the story, how do you think the phrase "everyday use" relates to the idea of heritage? Give examples from the text to support your answer.
This question refers to the story "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker.
In this story, two sisters fight over some quilts that they want to inherit. However, each one of them has a different opinion about what to do with the quilts. While Maggie believes the quilts should be used as everyday items, Dee believes they should be displayed as an example of artistic ability.
The quilts are meant to represent the heritage of the sisters, and the way they each understand how to deal with their heritage and their culture. The phrase "everyday use" references the way heritage should be understood. The author is trying to convey the idea that heritage is not something to be displayed for others. Instead, it is something that should be experienced every single day, and should impact most aspects of our life.
In the case of Dee, this is not the case. While Dee admires the quilts, she does not feel inclined to experience her culture every day. In fact, she rejects many aspects of it, such as her name and her family's way of living. On the other hand, Maggie experiences her culture every day and is much more appreciative of the everyday experiences of her family.
Answer:
In Alice Walker’s short story “Everyday Use,” the handmade quilts are a means of staying connected to the family’s past and their ancestors. Dee wants use the quilts to decorate her home like one would do with historical artifacts. The quilts would not be put to “everyday use” in Dee’s home. However, for Mama and Maggie, the quilts represent the family’s history, experiences, and struggles across various generations. The quilts, made by family members, are reminders of cherished memories. These quilts were made from pieces of clothes the family members wore in their everyday life. The mother believes these lovingly made quilts should be of “everyday use” as her ancestors intended. She wants to give them to her younger daughter, Maggie, whom she believes will cherish the quilts, unlike Dee. As she tells Dee:
"God knows I been saving 'em for long enough with nobody using 'em. I hope she will!"

Read the lines from "Girl Powdering Her Neck” by Cathy Song, then look at the artwork by Kitagawa Utamaro. Her hair is black with hints of red, the color of seaweed spread over rocks. Morning begins the ritual wheel of the body, the application of translucent skins. She practices pleasure: the pressure of three fingertips applying powder. Fingerprints of pollen some other hand will trace. The peach-dyed kimono patterned with maple leaves drifting across the silk, falls from right to left in a diagonal, revealing the nape of her neck and the curve of a shoulder like the slope of a hill set deep in snow in a country of huge white solemn birds. Her face appears in the mirror, a reflection in a winter pond, rising to meet itself. Which statement best compares the use of imagery and color in the poem and artwork to portray the woman? The artwork’s use of color presents a woman of vigor and action, while the poem does not. The poem portrays the woman as unrefined, while the painting presents her as cultured. The artwork suggests a woman in her home, while the poem’s figurative language connects her to nature. The poem suggests that the woman is aloof, while the painting shows her to be self-absorbed.
Answer:
Answer 3 is the right one
Explanation:
The statement best compares the use of imagery and color in the poem and artwork to portray the woman is the artwork suggests a woman in her home, while the poem’s figurative language connects her to nature.
What is statement?Statement means a clear expression of something.
What is compares?Compare means measure the similarity or dissimilarity.
What is imagery?Imagery means description in visual images.
What is artwork?Artwork means paintings, drawings etc.
What is portray?Portray means depict in a work of art.
