This question is about the following stanza from "The Raven:"
Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer, "Sir," said I, "or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore; But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping, And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door, That I scarce was sure I heard you"–here I opened wide the door– Darkness there and nothing more. How does Edgar Allan Poe create suspense in this stanza?
Answer:
The source of the noise is not yet revealed, as no one is standing at the door.
Explanation:
The uncertainty about what is going on and who or what is doing the “tapping” behind the narrator's door builds suspense, makes the narrator's soul grow stronger and makes the readers feel anxious and excited about the mysterious situation, and then the narrator goes and opens the door but there is no one!: “Darkness there and nothing more.”

During a speech on the need to limit growth at State University, Leeland states, "According to Mary Sue Kaye, Dean of Students, if State U. does not cap enrollment soon it will be impossible to offer enough classes for students in most majors to graduate in four years." What for of supporting material is he using?
Answer:
Testimony.
Explanation:
Testimony is defined as 'an account of first-hand experience or a solemn affirmation by a witness' which can be the best evidence or proof to substantiate a claim.
In the given speech, the statement made by Leeland exemplifies a 'testimony' which he employs to support his claim i.e. 'need to limit growth at State University.' It would be considered a testimony as it states a 'first-hand experience of a witness('Mary Sue Kaye, Dean of students') who states that there is a lack of availability of enough classes to be offered to students in most majors.' Since it is a first-hand experience by Dean herself, it can be rely upon easily, and therefore, it not only supports the speaker's point but also persuades the audience to believe it.
If you guys could tell me which one went into each box that would be amazing thank you! :)

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.

This question is missing the necessary excerpts to be answered. I've found them online:
Read this excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game," by Richard Connell.
In a cultivated voice marked by a slight accent that gave it added precision and deliberateness, he said: "It is a very great pleasure and honor to welcome Mr. Sanger Rainsford, the celebrated hunter, to my home."
Automatically Rainsford shook the man's hand.
"I've read your book about hunting snow leopards in Tibet, you see," explained the man. "I am General Zaroff."
Now read the second excerpt.
"The general's left eyelid fluttered down in a wink. "This island is called Ship-Trap," he answered. "Sometimes an angry god of the high seas sends them to me. Sometimes, when Providence is not so kind, I help Providence a bit. Come to the window with me."
Rainsford went to the window and looked out toward the sea.
"Watch! Out there!" exclaimed the general, pointing into the night. Rainsford's eyes saw only blackness, and then, as the general pressed a button, far out to sea Rainsford saw the flash of lights.
The general chuckled. "They indicate a channel," he said, "where there's none: giant rocks with razor edges crouch like a sea monster with wide-open jaws. They can crush a ship as easily as I crush this nut."
Answer:
Readers must revise their predictions about the general after reading the second excerpt because initially he seems to be a gracious host, but then it is revealed that he has lured and trapped his guests.
Explanation:
General Zaroff, a character in Connell's short story "The Most Dangerous Game," is quite deceiving at first. Us readers, along with the main character, Rainsford, are led to believe that the general is a gracious host. When Rainsford swims to the shore of the general's island, he is politely welcomed. He is offered dinner and a place to spend the night.
However, it does not take Zaroff long to show his true colors. He is a hunter, and he knows Rainsford is a hunter as well, which leads him to confide in his guest his new hobby. Zaroff has been luring ships to sink close to his island in order to trap the sailors. General Zaroff has grown tired of killing beasts, and he is now hunting men. The gracious host is revealed to be a cold-blooded murderer.
Answer:
A) Has lured and trapped his guests.

In this activity, you will analyze the key elements of Carl Sandburg's story "How the Animals Lost Their Tails and Got Them Back Traveling from Philadelphia to Medicine Hat."
Answer:
The "Quest" seems to be the right answer.
Explanation:
A quest would be a pursuit intended to lead each adventurer to a particular, often mythological as well as the symbolic, destination. Typically, this objective requires serious big challenges, and also some cognitive performance professional growth.At times, the search often involves supernatural incidents or hires heroic characters through supernatural powers, which is another of the often popular literary scenario archetypes.The primary element that fits the quest archetype plot in “How the Animals Lost Their Tails and Got Them Back Traveling from Philadelphia to Medicine Hat” is the animals’ journey to get their tails back from the Head Spotter of the Weather Makers. The story focuses on the animals’ experiences during their journey from Philadelphia to Medicine Hat. The author describes the amusing train journey in detail; for example, a train that whimsically jumped on and off the tracks: The train ran out of the train shed. It kept on the tracks and never left the rails. It came to the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona where the tracks bend like a big horseshoe. Instead of going around the long winding bend of the horseshoe tracks up and around the mountains, the train acted different. The train jumped off the tracks down into the valley and cut across in a straight line on a cut-off, jumped on the tracks again and went on toward Ohio. As the story progresses, the animals have adventures such as “watching the big show of the snow ghosts” and “eating pink ice cream with an iron ax.” The story ends with the animals achieving their goal of getting their tails back and returning home:
. . . so they all went back home satisfied, the blue foxes each with a big wavy brush of a tail to help him when he runs, when he eats, when he walks . . .

Explanation:
Identities by w.d. valgardson
Answer:
Normally, he goes clean-shaven into the world, but the promise of a Saturday
liquid with sunshine draws him first from his study to the backyard, from there to his
front lawn. The smell of burning leaves stirs the memories of childhood car
rides, narrow lanes adrift with yellow leaves, girls on plodding horses, unattended
stands piled high with pumpkins, onions, or beets so that each one was, in its own way,
a still life. Always, there were salmon tins glinting with silver, set above hand-painted
signs instructing purchasers to deposit twenty-five or fifty cents. This act of faith
containing all the stories he has read in childhood about the North – cabins left
unlocked, filled with supplies for hapless wayfarers – wakes in him a desire to
temporarily abandon the twice-cut yards and hundred-year-old oaks.
He does not hurry for he has no destination. He meanders, instead, through the neat
suburban labyrinth of cul-de-sacs, bays and circles, losing and finding himself endlessly.
Becoming lost is made all the easier because the houses repeat themselves with
superficial variations. There grows within him, however, a vague unease with
symmetry, with nothing left to chance, no ragged edges, no unkempt vacant lots, no
houses rendered unique by necessity and indifference.

Reread Sonnet 30 by William Shakespeare. How does the speaker behave and feel in the poem before he thinks of his “dear friend”? How does the thought of his “dear friend” change his attitude? Why is the shift that occurs in the speaker’s thoughts viewed as a tribute to his “dear friend”? Cite specific examples from the text in your response.
Answer: 1. He feels and behaves depressed and regretful about his past actions and thoughts. 2. The thought of his "dear friend" compensates his losses and his sorrow ends. 3. Because by changing his tone he makes emphasis the fact that his "dear friend" was indeed the light of his life.
Explanation: Shakespeare conveys a very sad and depressing message in the sonnet, regretting how he failed to achieve his goals, wasted the best years of his life, and crying over the loss of his friends. We can see this in the following lines: "I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought, then can I drown an eye, and with old woes new wail my dear time's waste.
Nevertheless, in the lines "But if the while I think on thee, dear friend, All losses are restor'd and sorrows end", he acknowledges his "dear friend", and the sonnet makes a twist. He emphasizes that thinking of this person relieves all his guilt and pain, making then, a tribute to them.
