Answer and Explanation:
"Harrison Bergeron" is a short story by author Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. It is set in the year of 2081, when the American government has gone to great lengths to provide social equality. People who have advantages such as beauty, strength and intelligence are forced to wear handicaps. Harrison Bergeron is a tall, strong, handsome, and intelligent 14-year-old boy who, for those reasons, is forced to wear all sorts of handicaps to make him average. Harrison, however, decides to go against the status quo. He removes the handicaps, convinces a ballerina to do the same, and they both dance, elegantly soaring, while it is all being broadcast on television. The mood at this point is of lightness, relief, happiness:
And then, in an explosion of joy and grace, into the air they sprang!
Not only were the laws of the land abandoned, but the law of gravity and the laws of motion as well.
They reeled, whirled, swiveled, flounced, capered, gamboled, and spun.
They leaped like deer on the moon.
The studio ceiling was thirty feet high, but each leap brought the dancers nearer to it.
It became their obvious intention to kiss the ceiling. They kissed it.
However, the Handicapper General shoots and kills Harrison. This is the anti-climax of the story, the moment when readers are disappointed, having their hopes frustrated. The mood is now the opposite of what it had just been. Readers feel hopelessness and despair. Even Harrison's mother, who cannot understand what she has just watched due to her reduced intelligence, is sad about it:
You been crying" he said to Hazel.
"Yup," she said.
"What about?" he said.
"I forget," she said. "Something real sad on television."

Which quotation from the excerpt best reflects the author’s subjective perspective about the fauna of Madagascar?
Answer:
C makes sense
Explanation:
The conflict between the twins continued, and for some reason their grandmother favored the left-handed twin. The right-handed twin became angry and resentful. He was the truthful twin who always did the right thing. The left-handed twin was deceitful and did everything backward. You could never trust him.
The twins represent the two ways of the world which are in all people. The Indians do not call these good and evil. They call them the straight mind and the crooked mind, the righteous man and the devious man, the right and the left.

Which themes are developed in The Crucible, Act 3, Part 1?
a) it is much harder to disprove a lie to tell one
b) the heart can not resist romance
c) those with little power are least able to fight the system
d) it is honorable to sacrifice ones self
Answer:
c) those with little power are least able to fight the system.
Explanation:
Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible" revolves around the Salem witch trials where many people were accused of practicing witchcraft and convicted to death. This theme of good vs. evil and the Puritan society's aim to be perfect from all 'unholy' things shows the length to which the government or for that matter, the patriarchal society, will try o go to save their own skin.
Act 3 of the play occurs at the court after more than seventy people were accused and condemned to be hanged after being found guilty of witchcraft. Marry Warren, who had previously admitted to being one with Abigail and her group of girls, returned back to court to retract her statement and claim that she had been lying. Abigail, with the support of her uncle Rev, Samuel Parris, vehemently denied she and the girls are guilty, while in truth, they are. But with someone like Rev. Parris on their side, they have a huge advantage over the common people such as Proctor and Giles. This shows that those with little to no power have no chance to fight the system even if they are innocent.
Read the following excerpt from a research paper on American novels and answer the question. The argument continues about which novel has the honor of being the first American novel. Some award the honor to Gilbert Imlay's The Emigrants, denying the novelistic writing that preceded it (Gray 453). Several novels have lost their claim to that title for one reason or another. In 1751, Charlotte Lennox used American scenes and characters in The Life of Harriot Stuart, but her literary training and home were in England (Shepherd 5). A book called The Female American: or, The Adventures of Unca Eliza Winkfield was thought to have been written by an American and published in London in 1767. In 1775, Adventures of Alonso, probably by Thomas Atwood Digges, was claimed to be by a native of Maryland. The book, however, was not published in America and deals with nothing American. An Indian story, The History of Maria Kittle, was written in 1781, but did not appear as a book until 1793 (Burke 76). Miss McRae by Hilliard d'Auberteuil in 1784 lost its claim because it was written in French by a Frenchman (Sloan 8). Is the author's tone toward the subject appropriate? Why or why not No, it is too harsh in its treatment of the subject. No, it is not opinionated enough for a research paper. Yes, its neutral tone is appropriate for a research paper. Yes, its mocking tone helps the reader to better understand American novels.
Answer: Neutral tone is acceptable when writing about novels, but it is preferred to have an interesting tone to keep the reader engaged and interested in the essay.
Answer: I do believe the answer is, "to explain why there is a problem defining the first American novel".
Explanation: This doesn't define what american novels are.
There is only one mention of d'Auberteuil's novels, (actually it's only one novel) and it really doesn't explain what the paragraph is about.
The paragraph says nothing about how to classify American novels.
The first sentence states, "The argument continues about which novel has the honor of being the first American novel." So the Answer must be option two.

How can you make someone more likely to change their opinion? Use the word "prime."
Answer:
You are in a prime position to change a person's opinion, by following the ethos, pathos, logos rule.
People generally fall into one of the 3 categories:
Ethos: If you are credible, or you can be trusted as you have said the truth numerous times in previous occassions, your words can bear weight in allowing others to believe what you say. As of the opposite, you can have a weaker ethos if what you say does not hold up to what you give the receiver's expectations.
Pathos: If you are likely to appeal to the emotions, then it falls under the pathos category. For example, ads which call for donations as well as first-world countries to stop wasting food may use pictures & videos of the tragedies that occur in 3rd world countries, and may appeal not only for monetary help to help feed the poor, but also to wake up 1st world occupants that their food is vital in other places, and not to waste the precious resources.
Logos: The use of logic, generally factual statements (statements that can be proven and are typically agreed on by a large percentage of humans). Statistical data, history, and many others can be used under this category to help with one's argument as well as disproving another's claim.

hope it helps..
Answer:
option A
Explanation:
A conflict is a clash of interest. The basis of conflict may vary but it is always a part of society. Basis of conflict may be personal, racial, class, caste, political and international. Conflict in groups often follows a specific course. Routine group interaction is first disrupted by an initial conflict, often caused by differences of opinion, disagreements between members, or scarcity of resources. At this point, the group is no longer united, and may split into coalitions. This period of conflict escalation in some cases gives way to a conflict resolution stage, after which the group can eventually return to routine group interaction.

Why does Mr. H. Intercede on behalf of the British printer? The printer is his close friend. The printer can help the British. The printer is a fellow Englishman. The printer was falsely accused.
Answer:
B. The printer can help the British
Explanation:
The excerpt from the book, The Dark Game shows Mr. H interceding on behalf of a printer who was falsely accused of producing counterfeit money. He made contact with the British Minister in the city. The minister then secured the release of the printer. In the last sentence when the printer was expressing joy over his release, he said that if there was anything Mr. H would want him to do for him, he was very willing to do it. Mr. H acquiesced saying that indeed there was something he could do for him.
So the reason why Mr. H took the trouble of bringing the printer out of the prison was because he also needed help from him.
