Exposing the Lunacy of the Lunar Effect
1
The sight of a full moon riding high in the sky on a cloudless night brings to mind beauty, the harvest, and poetic thoughts, but it also reminds us of legends of strange things that happen during a full moon. Some people believe that the full moon affects humans and animals. Temporary insanity, violence, car accidents, animal bites, and births all increase when the moon is full… or do they? While belief in the lunar effect is widespread, there is little evidence to suggest it is a real phenomenon.

2
One argument commonly put forth in favor of the lunar effect is that tides are higher when the moon is full. The human body is mostly water. If the moon can affect an entire ocean, surely it affects us too. This line of thinking is problematic for several reasons. First, the water of the ocean is not confined within a small space in the same way that the water inside the human body is. Second, the gravitational pull the moon exerts on any objects here on Earth is actually very weak. Finally, the highest tides occur not only during the full moon, but also the new moon. If the lunar effect is real, then it should logically also be observable during the new moon.

3
The results of some studies have suggested that animals are more aggressive (and more likely to bite) during a full moon, and that the number of births also peaks around this time, but they are the exception. As shown in the table below, many other investigations have failed to find any correlation between these events.

4
It is true that the full moon can interfere with sleep, but this was mainly a problem before artificial lighting. There is no mystery here. People tend to sleep best when it is dark. A full moon makes for a brighter night, so people don’t sleep as well. A streetlight shining into someone’s bedroom window would likely produce exactly the same result. The other beliefs about the lunar effect are largely based on isolated incidents, anecdotes, and fictional films and television programs. Stories about weird and mysterious occurrences during the full moon make for entertaining tales, but the lunar effect is nothing more than a myth.

Which statement BEST describes a connection made between the idea that the moon’s influence on the natural world is connected to its influence on humans in Moonstruck: Evidence for the Lunar Effect?

A
The moon has been affecting people since the beginning of time, so it is natural that the moon continues to do so.

B
Since animals tend to bite more during a full moon, humans end up in the hospital more often.

C
Since the moon has a strong gravitational pull when it is full, it also has the ability to cause an increase in birth rate.

D
The moon makes the oceans change, and since there is water in the human body, the moon must impact it as well.

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Pensively.

Explanation:

The question refers to the relationship between two words with a similar meaning, where "accidentally" is related to "carelessly", since every accident is produced by lack of care, with which the accidental arises from carelessness.

Thus, the word "thoughtfully" is directly related to "pensively", insofar as they refer both to action through reflection and evaluative thinking of the decisions to be made by the person.

Answer:

C. Determined

Explanation:

The tone of the the excerpt "Surfing: A Royal Sport" from Jack London's memoir "The Cruise of the Snark is determined.

Jack London attempts to practice surf-riding because he found it very fascinating.

His first attempt was unsuccessful but he was determined to succeed.

The lines below are excerpts which describe how he tackled surf-riding.

Get in and wrestle  with the sea;

wing your heels with the skill and power that reside in you;

bit the sea's breakers, master them,

and ride upon their backs as a king  should.

Answer:

Transitive.

Explanation:

A transitive sentence is one that has a direct object different from the subject of the sentence, that is, in which the verb exercises its action. Thus, in the case, someone must leave and leave another person alone, with which that first person, who must leave, and the second, who must be left alone, are two different entities, with which the verb is transmitted from the subject towards the direct object.

Ana sees David in the "hallway." He explains he's following her "advice" by helping his teacher. Ana seems "surprised." These details help develop an idea about how younger siblings often "admire and imitate" their older siblings.

The way Ana and David develop the theme by volunteering to help their teacher, Johnson, is the same attribute that both siblings hold.

Answer:

This question is incomplete since you did not provide the options, and I couldn't find them online, but I will give you an explanation that will be useful to understand this.

Explanation:

 The essay is a literary genre that consists of putting an idea in writing, analyzing, interpreting and evaluating a specific topic.

 Throughout your academic life, you will be challenged several times to write a good essay, so you must know how to do it. In addition to knowing the parts of an essay and having a good idea to deal with in your study, you need to take into account some key points so that it is well structured.

1 USE AN APPROPRIATE TONE.

Do not lose sight that it is an academic work of importance, so you must use a formal tone, avoiding humor, colloquial vocabulary and sarcasm. When your teachers correct you, they will take into account that the writing of your essay is neat and up to the task.

2 CONSIDER THE IMPORTANCE OF DOCUMENTATION

All the ideas that you capture in your essay must be supported by the corresponding documentation. If you are citing an author, use quotation marks and footnotes to name the bibliographic source of which the citation is part.

3 WRITE A DRAFT

All good writers do a rough draft before embarking on writing their works. An essay is a complicated text that requires a lot of order at a mental level, so you should make sure to make an outline with the main ideas that you will capture at work, before writing anything.

4 ORGANIZE YOUR TEST BY PARTS

An essay consists of three fundamental parts: introduction, body or knot and conclusion. The introduction consists of indicating to the reader the purpose of the investigation, the topic and the organization that the text will have. The body is the development of the points that were pointed out during the introduction. Its organization will depend on the argumentation strategies you choose. In the conclusion, you should briefly review the ideas that were presented in the previous two parts and provide a personal view of the author on the topic presented.

5 RELAY AND CORRECT

Do not submit your essay without making sure that you have carefully reread it and that you have corrected any possible spelling, grammar or typographical errors that may exist in the text.

Answer and Explanation:

"Islands and Icebergs" by Ralph Semino Galan is a poem about reading a poem. The speaker asks readers to imagine the paper as being the ocean and the words to be floating on the that ocean. That is a clue as to why he writes three lines per stanza. The length of the lines, along with their number, reminds us of the waves, even the foam, to floats up and down, back and forth, on the ocean. The author wrote three lines per stanza as a way to make the poem itself resemble an ocean, instead of simply asking as to imagine it.

Explanation:

Anecdotes are a short story about an event or certain point in time that is based on one's own experience. It can be an amusing story, an interesting or a serious and sad story too, depending on how the story is relayed.

Personal narratives use anecdotes to help their readers feel more connected with what's been said or written. It also helps the writer gain empathy from the readers. These stories are memorable ones, thereby helping in accentuating/ emphasizing the meaning of what the writer is trying to say.

Thus, the correct answer is option b.

Answer:

b) To recount meaningful events.

Explanation:

Answer:

The Child’s Return as a story seems too fantastic for a modern reader. Largely due to Raicharan. Are there fathers in this world who give their child willingly to others? What made Raicharan took the central step in the story?

Anukul’s son died in care of Raicharan. Raicharan was around in his late thirties by this time. He spent his entire youth — starting from the age of twelve — in caring for Anukul(who went from boyhood to lawyer) and his son, who followed. Naturally, he was emotionally bonded to both father and the son. Further as a caretaker of the child, Raicharan internalized all the blame of the child’s death. Death of a child is the toughest loss to bear. If Raicharan hadn’t gone to the Kadamba tree, maybe the child would have been still in the mortal world.

Guilt works mysteriously in hearts of noble people. As a Hebrew proverb says,

Guilt is a gift that keeps on giving.

As fate made the child fall into the flooding river, it made Raicharan’s wife deliver a boy in middle age. Raicharan being a simple person, took it as a sign of divine rebirth of the dead child. He began raising this child as if he belonged to a magistrate’s(Anukul’s) house. By sacrificing his own means, he began gifting the child with great clothes, great food and great education. When in his early fifties, he became too ill to work due to self-neglect - he finally gave his son back to Anukul. To finalize the punishment, he takes the blame of stealing Anukul’s son. Anukul’s new son gifts Raicharan back with a pension.

Therefore apart from loss of Anukul’s son, Raicharan lost his own son as well. In his gift to Anukul, he canceled the couple’s pain. As another punishment on top of his guilt, he left his own son.

On a side note, it is beneficial to see why Tagore used death of children in his stories. Are they somehow connected to death of his own children? Maybe Tagore wanted to clarify something in his own heart by writing these stories.

I hope it's helpful!

The Summary of the Children's Return for a reader in the present day, the narrative of The Child's Return appears too fantastical. mostly because of Raicharan.

In Raicharan's care, Anukul's son passed away. By this time, Raicharan was in his late forties. Beginning at the age of twelve, he dedicated his whole youth to providing for Anukul, who grew from a youngster to become a lawyer, and his son, who followed.

He was, of course, emotionally attached to both the father and the boy. Raicharan further absorbed full responsibility for the child's passing as the caregiver. The worst loss to endure is the death of a child.

Explanation:

Answer:

Explanation:

What could be a worse fate for a modern American female poet than to be lumped into a nebulous, chauvinistic and ever slightly misogynistic pool of cess stereotyped as a “domestic poet.” Anyone unfamiliar with the term coming across it from the first time in reference to a female poet might well believe that domestic poetry is sweetly rhyming verse taking as its subject situations like getting the kids into the van for soccer practice, making cookies for the PTA meeting and, of course, a litany of hatred expressed toward husbands who are never there to help with domestic issues.

Never mind that Robert Frost and Walt Whitman and Wallace Stevens have all at one time or another found a niche within the broadly defined movement or genre of domestic poetry. Which, for the same of brevity, shall be termed poetry dealing with the commonplace of everyday as opposed to epic tales, transcendental unity of man with nature, mysticism, avant-garde experimentation with form over content and various other assorted and sundry types of poems with which the average person cannot relate. Linda Pastan, in other words, writes poems in which she consistently returns to touch upon universal themes dealing with family and relationships and the difficulties of normal existence and the emotional distress of just getting up and living live as it comes.

The tension that always exists between members of a family regardless of the definition or connotation applied to the term “family” has been a great source of inspiration to Pastan from her earliest verse and throughout her development and maturation. By contrast, an equally concentrated examination of the tensions introduced by religious and spiritual expectations has tended to dissipate throughout that process of growing older and becoming more domesticated. In its place Pastan has created a body of work that is far more elegiac and meditative and, it must finally be admitted, less domestic. With the introduction of a more melancholic and reflective poetry that moves into a greater sense of isolation and a solitary contemplation of tactile nature rather than abstract spiritualism, Pastan succeeds in tossing off whatever chains may have been tied around her verse as a result of the unfortunate constriction of trying to pigeonhole her as merely a domestic poet.
