Explanation:
Public speaking skill can be improved by
Slowing down and pronouncing words clearly.Stand up straight.Smiling often.Read Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Pit and the Pendulum” You may have read this story in a lesson in the unit. If you did, take some time to review the story. If you have not read it, read it now. As you read the story, take notes on the following points: the circumstances of the narrator’s imprisonment the condition of the narrator’s prison the narrator’s reaction to his prison and torture historical references or allusions that appear in the story
"The Pit and the Pendulum" tells the story of a man who was tried and condemned by the sponge inquisition and although he is not fully convinced of what is reality and illusion, he feels that he has been condemned to death. He feels stunned by it and strongly confused and fearful for the sentence he received and for the unpredictability of what will happen ahead.
The convict describes his prison with a strong synesthesia, he reveals all the psychological and physical terror that has passed, which disturbed him deeply amid hallucinations, sounds, images that appeared around him, bruises and a strong mental confusion. The prison is a claustrophobic, dark and frightening space, built with the aim of torturing and going crazy.
During the torture section, the convict is tied under a pendulum that contains a very sharp blade. The pendulum swings from side to side very slowly and is above the prisoner's body, but he realizes that as time passes, the pendulum descends more and more, even cutting his chest slowly and agonizingly. However, the prisoner manages to free himself from the ropes, but realizes that the walls are heating up quickly leaving his breathing, already weak, increasingly weak. In addition, the walls are coming together making the prisoner have no choice but to jump into the well built right in the middle of his prison.
The well and pendulum shown in the story are strong references to the methods of torture used by Spanish inquisitors who wanted to kill their victims in a slow and agonizing manner.
This task may be slightly long but i am giving brainliests, thanks, and i will try and answer some of your questions! This is about a short story called The Landlady.
As Billy, write a letter to a friend or relative raising your concerns about the landlady. Points to remember: 1. Don’t forget to use examples of foreshadowing in your work.
• The ‘black eye’ sign
• The missing guests
• The stuffed animals
• The odd remarks from the landlady
Ensure you set your work out like a letter.
Remember to use paragraphs and check your spelling
Example
Dear Jack, I hope you are well? I have come to Bath on a business visit and am staying at a local B&B. It is all nice and comfortable but the landlady strikes me as very peculiar. I was going to stay at a pub but the sign seemed to entice me...........
Answer:
Dear Mum and Dad,
I'm in Bath on a business trip and I have arrived safely. I'm staying at a local B&B with a strange landlady. It nice and very comfy but there is a peculiar feeling about the place. I saw the sign and walked in, I asked about the cost and it was surprisingly cheap.
As I went in the Landlady kept making strange remarks and asking all sorts of questions.
When I was asked to sign the guest book I saw the names of missing guests who had never left. I had heard about them in the papers. All the guests were missing.
I saw loads of stuffed animals which was a very peculiar sight too see.
I hope you are safe and keeping well

Combine the following sentences using appropriate conjunctions to have just one complex sentence.a) Choosing between models is a decision. c) The decision is for the consumer. b) The decision is personal. d) The model types are desktop and laptop.
Answer and Explanation:
A complex sentence is formed by joining an independent clause and a dependent one. However, we have four different sentences here. We must join them and use a subordinating conjunction to form a complex sentence.
One possibility is using the subordinating conjunction "since", or "provided that":
- Since choosing between a desktop and a laptop models is a decision for the consumer, the decision is personal.
- Provided that choosing between a desktop and a laptop models is a decision for the consumer, the decision is personal.
Another possibility is using the conjunction "because":
- Choosing between a desktop and a laptop models is a decision for the consumer because it is personal.

In American history, immigration has played an integral role in society. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, first-generation immigrants who came to the United States often dealt with language and social barriers. In the late twentieth century, second- and third-generation immigrants faced the challenge of following their traditional heritage and fitting into American society.
1. Consider how cultural diversity defines American society and literature. Is the American identity static or fluid over time?
Answer:
American identity is fluid over time because as time goes by identities change, technology and social media have a role in that. Social media plays a part in people modifying their traditions or starting new traditions. Your cultural identity can be defined by your ethnicity, nationality, and race. It can also be defined by your religion and the area you live in.

Read an excerpt from Justice Sonia Sotomayor's New York University 2012
Commencement Address:
Finally, the last emotion I've experienced has been the joy
of engagement. It's a hackneyed statement, but life is not a
spectator sport. To squeeze from life its fullness, to be
happy in this world in the short period of time we are given,
to find meaning in life, you have to be active and giving
members of your communities. Neither your life nor the
world you live in just happens. You control the quality of
your lives and your communities. It is only in giving to
others that you can find meaning and satisfaction in what
you do
What does Sotomayor use to introduce her discussion on the joy of
engagement?
O A. A statement that happiness should not be a life goal
O B. A comparison of two people's lives
O C. A metaphor about getting involved
O D. A suggestion that life has to be spontaneous
Answer:
O C. A metaphor about getting involved .
Explanation:
Justice Sonia Sotomayor was conferred a Doctor of Law degree, honoris causa, by the NYU on May 16. And she gave her speech at the 180th Commencement held at the Yankee Stadium.
In this speech, she recounts how life is all about taking challenges and getting involved in them. She went on to express her happiness on being conferred the degree while at the same time, she felt grateful to those who had awarded her. She also used a metaphor to talk about how getting involved in life is one of the most interesting and intriguing things in life. Her statement that "life is not a spectator sport" shows her own dedication to getting involved in life's challenges and tackling whatever obstacles that may come in the way.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Raj begins his speech asking the question, "Where is home?" He then continues by discussing how home used to mean his birthplace in Bangalore, but now it means an apartment in Chicago near Wrigley Field. Which principle of verbal messages does this demonstrate?
Answer:
meanings are in people
Explanation:
The principle of verbal message that the text shown above express is "meanings are in people". That's because the meaning of what was a "home" was inside Raj, for that reason, he could call it home, different places that fit the meaning he kept inside him and not in the place itself. This allows him to feel at home in his homeland, but it does not interfere that he feels at home in his apartment in Chicago, because what makes a place become a home is within him.

Read the following excerpt. Sarah looked at her brother again, waiting for some sort of response. Surely, he had not resigned himself to this situation. Surely, he did not intend to sit in their little apartment and wait for the Germans to come and get them. She had arranged for a hiding spot with one of her friends. She would harbor them in the attic of her grandfather’s farmhouse as long as needed. The place was dilapidated but isolated and did not draw many visitors or attention. Sarah knew with all of her heart that going there was a better option for them. Rumors had been circulating for weeks. Jews were not being taken away to work. The long trains pulling out of the stations were going to Polish death camps. Whoever got into the cattle cars was never coming back. “Alright,” he whispered. His voice was small but resolute. “We will leave on Sunday morning. We will take the train to Emmen and then walk the rest of the way. If anyone stops us, we can make believe that we are out for a weekend retreat in the countryside. Choose the question that would be most effective at encouraging a good discussion. Where are Sarah and her brother when they are having this discussion? How would you feel if you were Sarah or her brother? Where are the Jews being taken by the Germans? What would you have done if you were Sarah’s brother?
Answer:
How would you feel if you were Sarah or her brother? If I were Sarah or her brother than I would feel scared and lonely and terrified about the germens taking the jews to the polish death camp.
Where are the Jews being taken by the Germans? The long trains pulling out of the stations were going to Polish death camps.
What would you have done if you were Sarah’s brother? I would rather find a hiding spot then I would gather some food and tools and also some clothes with me .
Explanation:
Basically you have to think about the times of Anne Frank or the times where the jews were and think what you might have done there. That is all.
