Read the paragraph from the text and the directions that follow.
But, when all the girls in town are seeking to steal your husband, what are you going to do about it, if you are a woman of forty-five with a heaviness around the hips and a disinclination to learn the camel walk? Nor can you get the poachers off the scent by crossing the trail with an eligible bachelor. Logically, the young things should have enough sense to ignore a preempted husband and attend to the serious business of getting themselves husbands. But they haven’t. They seem to prefer the husbands of the other women. And curiously, the more they engage in this exotic sport of poaching, the less keen they become about owning a property for somebody else to poach on.
According to the author, what is one reason that flappers steal older women’s husbands? Answer choices for the above question
1: All flappers prefer men who are married.
2: There are not enough single men available.
3: All flappers want to be married themselves.
4: There are no eligible bachelors who prefer flappers
Answer: Hi there! My best guess for this question would be 1: All flappers prefer men who are married.
Explanation: Every other answer just doesn't feel right to me for some reason...?
With 2, the speaker never said that there were not enough single men available for flappers. In fact, they were leaving to go FOR the flappers since they were "more beautiful" than their wide-hipped and grey wives, which is why 4 makes no sense to me.
Lastly, choice 3 is just really confusing to me, so I'd rather not choose it for the sake of misinterpreting it...
Please feel free to disagree with my answer. I hope that this helps out in some way. :)

Read the following excerpt from Martin Luther King Jr's "I Have a Dream"
speech:
With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray
together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to
stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free
one day.
This will be the day when all of God's children will be able
to sing with a new meaning, "My country, 'tis of thee, sweet
land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died,
land of the pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let
freedom ring."
Which statement best explains why the parallelism used in this excerpt is
effective?
yes
The correct answer is D. It underscores that unity is needed to achieve civil rights.
Explanation
Martin Luther King Jr's excerpt of his speech called "I have a dream" expresses his dream of having a country where civil rights are respected. In this speech, he uses paralelism because he includes similar structures such as "to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together". Moreover in these Luther King emphasizes the importance of unity by repeating the word together. From the above, it can be inferred that the correct answer is B. It encourages patriotism by evoking the memory of a childhood song.

Answer:

7. I am not going to finish my studies next year. I have decided to go travelling instead.
Explanation:
We use "going to" to indicate a future action that we have already planned. The structure is:
subject + to be + going to + main verb
The auxiliary verb is "to be". It must be conjugated according to the subject of the sentence: I am, you are, he is, she is, it is, we are, or they are. If the sentence is negative, the verb "to be" can be contracted with "not" when possible: aren't or isn't. If the sentence is interrogative, "to be" must be placed before the subject. Take a look at the examples below to better understand it:
- Lisa (she) is going to cook us dinner.
- Lisa isn't going to cook us dinner.
- Is Lisa going to cook us dinner?
Read the following excerpt from Bulfinch's Mythology.
In cultured garden, free uncultured flows,
The flavor sweeter and the hue more fair
Than e'er was fostered by the hand of care.
The cherry here in shining crimson glows,
And stained with lover's blood, in pendent rows,
The mulberries o'erload the bending boughs."
What element improves the mulberries?
Hue more fair
Hand of care
Sweeter flavor
The lover's blood
nvm its lovers blood
Answer: The lover's blood
Explanation:
This excerpt is part of the story of Pyramus and Thisbe, two lovers that have no permission from their parents to get married. Believing that Thisbe is gone, Pyramus hills himself, and, when she finds him, she does the same. The mythological story claims that Pyramus´blood sprayed all over the white fruit of a mulberry tree, turning it into a dark purple color, and that´s why the fruit from the mulberry tree always turns to a dark purple color when they become ripe.

Answer:
Brainliest
Explanation:
"For clients, we would say that if you've recently had a vaccine or if you've had Co-vi()d you should check with your doctor [before getting a color]," says Kennedy.
"What we're seeing and what I'm seeing in my own salon is that most doctors are saying it's totally fine. There are some doctors advising people on the issue but that's not for salons to decide. Each doctor takes it on a case by case basis on what they want to recommend.
"If a client has additional concerns regarding the C-ov()id-19 vaccination, then it is recommended that the client seek the advice of a medical professional and also have a patch test in advance of attending their appointment for a treatment or service."
Which line from The Phantom Tollbooth best explains Alec’s overall perspective?
"It's all in the way you look at things."
"It's an interesting possibility, don’t you think?"
"It makes more sense to grow down than up."
"Isn't this everyone's point of view?"
Answer:
~A~, " it's all in the way you look at things. "

When they do get older they get more childish because they won't be able to see the perspective of other people and animals cause they are on the ground that's why the answer is A. It's all in the way you look at things.
The characteristics of an aside include that it _____. Select all that apply.
explains the movements a character makes onstage
reflects a character’s inner thoughts
is brief
is responded to by other characters
Answer:
reflects a character’s inner thoughts
is brief
Explanation:
An Aside is a device used in plays and writing where a character makes a brief comment to the audience. The fellow actors in the play are usually unable to hear the thoughts expressed by the character aside to the audience.
The comment made by the aside could evoke laughter in the audience or make them unravel one or two mysteries in the drama. So an aside is usually brief and reveals the inner thoughts of the character.
