What are buried verbs and zombie nouns? Give an original example. Why should writers avoid buried verbs?
Answer:
Buried verbs are words that are unnecessarily and needlessly converted to wordy noun expressions. When such nouns are converted, they often end with –tion, -ment, and –ance.
Such nouns that are converted this way are known as Zombie nouns.
Examples:
Buried verbs: require, maintain, sustain, etc.
Zombie nouns: requirement, maintenance, sustenance, etc.
Buried verbs: to be consider as, to be seen as, make a discussion, etc.
Unburied verbs: consider, seen, discuss, etc.
Writers are to avoid buried verbs because they make writing sound formal and difficult to read, understand and assimilate. When buried verbs are avoided by writers, their writings become easier to read and understand.
Also, zombie nouns increase the length of sentences and make the reader slow in reading.

Answer:
Probably A or B.
Explanation:
"Other countries with such divisions have in fact divided into new nations...but not this one, impossibly interwoven even in its hostilities." The passage does say America is still together despite the decisions, which makes me believe option B is correct. However, A also could be correct because the main idea of the passage largely is the differences between religion, sexuality, and race in America where "What is the point of a nation in which...speak in theory of hatred, one for the other? What is the point of a nation in which one part always seems to be on the verge of fisticuffs with another?"
How could Beethoven compose music despite his loss
of hearing?
Answer:
He could still “hear” in his head. All he had to do was transcribe what he “heard” and knew onto staff paper. Composers do not need to physically hear the music they are writing—they know how it will sound. Basically he already knew the basics of music, and so used his head in place of his ears.

Consider this procedural text.
Before you inflate your car's tires with air, you will need to know the recommended pressure for
your tires. To find out this information, consult the owner's manual for your car. Then connect a
tire gauge on the valve stem of each tire to check the air pressure. After you turn on the air
pump, attach the pump hose to the valve stem of each tire to allow air to flow inside.
Depending on the type of pump, you will more than likely need to squeeze a trigger on the
hose to release the air. Periodically check the pressure on each tire after filling with a small
amount of air to ensure that you aren't putting too much air in your tire. Doing so could damage
your fire. If there is too much air in a tire, squeeze the button on the valve stem to release the
excess air until your tires are inflated at the correct pressure.
a. Briefly describe the subject of this procedural text. If someone follows this procedure, what will
he or she accomplish?
Answer: The subject of the text is inflating car tires. If someone follows the procedure he/she will correctly put air in car tires and keep the ideal pressure.
Explanation:
A procedural text provides steps or instructions to complete a process, for example, a recipe is a procedural text that helps readers cook something. Additionally, the subject is the topic the text covers, which is explained or supported through the steps or the procedure described. In the case of the text presented, this describes the steps to put air on car tires or inflating them. This is explained through details such as "you will need to know the recommended pressure" or "Then connect a tire gauge on the valve stem". According to this, the subject is inflating car tires because this is the topic the text covers.
Besides this, it is expected that if someone follows the steps he or she will inflate tires appropriately and will keep an ideal pressure in the tires, which is supported by details such as "release the excess air until your tires are inflated at the correct pressure" that shows the author wants to make sure the reader checks the pressure, and verify this is appropriate all the time.

Answer:cariculom vita
Explanation:
One of J.R.R. Tolkien's stated goals in developing the
world of The Lord of the Rings was to create a set of
myths for English-speaking peoples comparable to the
myths of the ancient Greeks and Norse. This endeavor
partially explains the preoccupation with origins and
"roots" that his characters show in all of his novels.
Which statement most accurately identifies the theme that the critic is
discussing and the historical context that affects the theme?
O A. The theme is mythology, and the historical context is the
preoccupation with origins and "roots."
OB. The theme is The Lord of the Rings, and the historical context is
the mythology of the Greeks and Norse.
O C. The theme is origins, or "roots," and the historical context is the
background on Tolkien's purpose.
O D. The theme is Greek and Norse mythology, and the historical
context is Tolkien's interest in them.
Answer:
O A. The theme is mythology, and the historical context is the preoccupation with origins and "roots."
Explanation:
As given in the passage, the critic states that the main purpose of J. R. R. Tolkien in creating the world of "The Lord of the Rings" was to provide a mythological world for the English-speaking people. While there are numerous Greek and Norse myths since ancient times, there seems to be none for the English-speaking people.
And in doing so, Tolkien has managed to provide a whole myth for them through the world of "The Lord of the Rings". This identifies with the theme of mythology that the people want for themselves according to the myths of the ancient Greeks and Norse. At the same time, the historical context seems to be the society's preoccupation with the idea of the origins and "roots" of the people and the need to align themselves with such myths that they can call or accept as theirs.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.

O A. Come, let me clutch thee.
O B. Is this a dagger which I see before me

Kurt Vonnegut uses Cat's Cradle to satire the absurdity of all adult games, all mad pursuits of scientific knowledge and material progress all isms..All relentless hankering after trusts and the futility of all wars has just aggravated the ecological crisis disturbing all ecosystem... Elaborate this question.
I need the answer of this question for my final term
Answer:
Kurt Vonnegut uses Cat's Cradle to create a satire about the absurdity of life and human's pursuit of scientific knowledge and material progress in different ways.
His use of satire is exemplified by the symbolism of the cat's cradle. The cat's cradle is a game that is played with strings and Dr. Hoenikker allegedly played it the day the atomic bomb was dropped instead of retrospection about what he helped invent destroying lots of lives.
The cat's cradle represents the complexity of humans and make a mockery of humans trying to make sense of everything.
Vonnegut also used the set up of the book Cat's Cradle to dispel the notion of how meaningful civilization is. The book can be considered as a book that is talking about the end of the world. By foreshadowing death and the helplessness of humans to prevent death and also the ability to bring death, it shows that the human search for meaning is thus fruitless and misguided.
PLEASE ANSWER QUICK!In Tim O’Brien’s story “Where Have You Gone, Charming Billy?”, why does Paul Berlin point out the no one gave him lesions for how to have courage?
A) because courage isn’t something that is learned
B) because he missed this important part of training
C) because his fear made him forget all he learned
D) because he did not understand the training about courage
Answer:
C) because his fear made him forget all he learned
Explanation:
Paul Berlin is fighting in the Vietnam War and seeks to remember everything he had during training to survive in such a frightening moment.
In a certain part of the story, he feels a very outspoken fear of everything he is experiencing. At this point, the narrator states that Paul Berlin regrets not paying more attention to the training, especially in the part that was taught how to control fear, which was what he needed most now. Then, he says, that no lesson on courage was given, or at least, there was no lesson on courage that Paul could remember, now that his feelings were being controlled by fear.
Answer:
C) because his fear made him forget all he learned
Explanation:
The character sketch of Paul Berlin is feared and nervous from the very start of the story. He always afraid of death, but to make his father proud, he hides those feelings under his laughter. He pretends to be courageous, but deep inside, he was held captive by his fears. When Billy dies in war, he laughs, but underneath it, he was hiding his insecurities. He was not so courageous from the start of the story, but he has to pretend to move into society.
We often confuse gender with sex. Sex is something with which we bear, but we can have qualities of females and males. Because we have to move in society, people hide their identity, their inside feelings. Everyone has different life experiences according to their circumstances and life experiences. We cannot judge someone based on their sex. Everyone is equal and different qualities developed under some particular surroundings. The same happens in the case of Paul. He died of a heart attack just because he would not be able to overcome his fears.

Read this excerpt from the prologue to act II of Romeo and Juliet: CHORUS: Now old desire doth in his death-bed lie, And young affection gapes to be his heir; That fair for which love groan'd for and would die, With tender Juliet match'd, is now not fair. Now Romeo is beloved and loves again, Alike betwitched by the charm of looks, But to his foe supposed he must complain, And she steal love's sweet bait from fearful hooks: Being held a foe, he may not have access To breathe such vows as lovers use to swear; And she as much in love, her means much less To meet her new-beloved any where: But passion lends them power, time means, to meet Tempering extremities with extreme sweet. Which of the following sentences best summarizes the purpose of the excerpt? A. It tells the audience exactly what will happen at the end of the play. B. It reveals the conflicting feelings Romeo has for Juliet and his family. C. It foreshadows the death of the lovers in the next section of the play. D. It explains that Romeo and Juliet will face many obstacles because of their families’ hatred.
Answer:
If you mean the excerpt from the Act II of “Romeo and Juliet”, by Shakespeare, said by Chorus, I believe that the correct answer is second statement: It reveals the conflicting feelings Romeo has for Juliet and his family.
Based on the excerpt from Act II of “Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare, the main purpose of this prologue, said by chorus, is to present Romeo’s conflicted feelings for Juliet and her family and to recap past events that happened in the play ( Romeo forgot about his previous love, Rosaline, by seeing Juliet). The chorus also creates an ominous mood that hints at the conflicts of the play (“Tempering extremities with extreme sweet”).
Please mark as top answer!
Answer:
D.
It explains that Romeo and Juliet will face many obstacles because of their families’ hatred.

Answer:
What is your question?
Explanation:
Read the dialogue from Act I, scene v of Romeo and Juliet. Capulet: Why, how now, kinsman! wherefore storm you so? Tybalt: Uncle, this is a Montague, our foe; A villain that is hither come in spite, To scorn at our solemnity this night. Capulet: Young Romeo, is it? Tybalt: ’Tis he, that villain Romeo. Capulet: Content thee, gentle coz, let him alone: He bears him like a portly gentleman Which best describes the relationship between Tybalt and Capulet? Tybalt is Capulet’s son. His solemn character provides a foil to the emotional nature of Lord Capulet. Tybalt is Capulet’s nephew. His short-tempered personality provides a foil to the calmer Lord Capulet. Tybalt is Capulet’s son-in-law. His love for Juliet provides a foil to Lord Capulet’s cold personality. Tybalt is Capulet’s enemy. His hatred of the Capulet family is a foil to Lord Capulet’s family loyalty.
Answer:
Tybalt is Capulet’s nephew. His short-tempered personality provides a foil to the calmer Lord Capulet.
Explanation:
William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet" revolves around the romance between Romeo and Juliet, despite their feuding families. Dealing with the themes of loyalty, family, and love, the play focuses on how these two lovebirds met their fateful death that led to the end of their family feud.
In the given lines from Act I scene v of the play, the scene is at the party hosted by the Capulets. Romeo and his friends had sneaked into the party and were enjoying when Tybalt, the nephew of Capulet saw them and tried to throw them out. But his uncle told him not to, for "Young Romeo" seems "like a portly gentleman". While Tybalt has a short-temper, his uncle's personality is calmer, providing, or acting as a foil to one another's personality.
Answer:
C. Tybalt is Capulet’s nephew. His short-tempered personality provides a foil to the calmer Lord Capulet.
Explanation:
One of the basic points in your statement is that the action that I and my associates have taken in Birmingham is untimely. Some have asked: "Why didn’t you give the new city administration time to act?" The only answer that I can give to this query is that the new Birmingham administration must be prodded about as much as the outgoing one, before it will act. We are sadly mistaken if we feel that the election of Albert Boutwell as mayor will bring the millennium to Birmingham. While Mr. Boutwell is a much more gentle person than Mr. Connor, they are both segregationists, dedicated to maintenance of the status quo. I have hope that Mr. Boutwell will be reasonable enough to see the futility of massive resistance to desegregation. But he will not see this without pressure from devotees of civil rights. My friends, I must say to you that we have not made a single gain in civil rights without determined legal and nonviolent pressure. What is King’s claim in this passage?
Answer:
King's claim in this passage is that a "determined legal and nonviolent pressure" must be mounted to end segregation in Birmingham.
Explanation:
A claim is an assertion or a statement that something or an event is correct as stated. A claim may not be true. It is therefore subject to proof. That is why claims usually require evidence to substantiate them. For instance, in preparing a set of financial statements, the principal officers (the chief executive and the chief financial officers) make assertions (claims) that the information presented therein is factual, fair, and truthful, etc. Such assertions remain mere claims until they are proved to be true. This is why external auditors, who are supposedly, independent of the management of the company, are expected to confirm or disconfirm such claims before the financial statements can be relied upon for any decision.
