Read the excerpt from chapter 6 of Animal Farm.
Afterwards Squealer made a round of the farm and set the animals’ minds at rest. He assured them that the resolution against engaging in trade and using money had never been passed, or even suggested. It was pure imagination, probably traceable in the beginning to lies circulated by Snowball. A few animals still felt faintly doubtful, but Squealer asked them shrewdly, "Are you certain that this is not something that you have dreamed, comrades? Have you any record of such a resolution? Is it written down anywhere?”
Which statement best explains how the pacing in this passage helps reveal Squealer’s character?
A) The quickening pace builds suspense about Squealer’s next course of action.
B) The quickening pace shows how Squealer is similar to Snowball.
C) The foreshadowing shows that Snowball and Squealer are actually very different.
D) The slowing pace shows how Squealer controls the animals with propaganda.
Answer:
D. The slowing pace shows how Squealer controls the animals with propaganda.
Explanation:
A is false because if you use that prompt as context, as it has no suspense over the next action
B is false because the paragraph does not even hint at it
C is false under the same reasons as B
D is True because the prompt includes tactics that propaganda uses
The slowing pace shows how Squealer controls the animals with propaganda is the statement best explains how the pacing in this passage helps reveal Squealer’s character. Hence, option D is correct.
What is the character of Squealer?A fictitious pig named Squealer appears in George Orwell's 1945 book Animal Farm. He is the farm's minister of propaganda and Napoleon's second-in-command. He is referred to in the book as a fat porker and an effective and very persuasive orator.
One day, Squealer reveals that Snowball has joined Mr. Frederick's farm, Pinchfield, and that the cunning pig has been working with Mr. Jones from the beginning. Squealer also claims that Snowball has sold himself. He remembers Snowball's attempts to beat the animals at the Battle of the Cowshed.
Pigs communicate through squealing, which is the sound that is used to depict this. Squealer, in other terms, was the pigs' representative in communication.
Thus, option D is correct.

- Why does the speaker name so many kinds of workers?
- What is the effect of these references?
Answer and Explanation:
Why does the speaker name so many kinds of workers?
In his poem "I Hear America Singing", Walt Whitman mentions several kinds of workers: the mason, the carpenter, the seamstress, the shoemaker, and so on. The reason behind this is that the author is trying to make sure he is representing America's working class and its beautiful variety of professions in this poem. Of course, he cannot mention each and every profession there is, but he does speak of so many in an attempt to make workers feel represented, seen.
What is the effect of these references?
Those references value each individual's hard work. This poem is, after all, a celebration of each person's uniqueness, a homage to their building America with their own hands. Whitman wants to convey the message that it is the working class that makes this country a wonderful place to live in. It is their hard work that makes America such a beautiful nation.

In which sentence does the verb agree with the subject?
A. The tone and pitch of the sparrow's song is pure and clear.
B. Hermit thrushes and wood thrushes is a delight to hear.
C. The lark and the robin are loved for their music.
D. Sunflower seeds or corn attract a variety of birds.
Answer:
The sentence in which the verb agrees with the subject is:
C. The lark and the robin are loved for their music.
Explanation:
With just a couple of rules, we are able to answer this question easily. First, when we have a compound subject joined by "and", the verb should be plural, since it refers to both elements in the subject. That is why letters A and B are wrong. Letter C, however, does present a verb with a plural conjugation, which makes it correct.
When a compound subject is joined by "or", and one of the elements is plural, the verb will agree with the element that is nearer. Letter D is incorrect because "attract" should agree with "corn" and not "seeds".

Answer:
When I was eighteen I decided I wanted to travel alone. I bought a ticket to Australia, I packed my bags and I left for the airport. I had to do a scale in Italy and then I had to take the flight there to go to Australia. I had to wait four more hours and I was sleepy so I decided to take a nap and set an alarm to wake up in time for my flight. But I didn't. I missed it and I got stranded in the airport for one whole day. It was the first thing that went wrong but not the only one. When I finally arrived to Australia, I had a lot of bad experiences. I felt lonely, I lost money and I missed home. However, I also made friends for life, I discovered amazing landscapes and I had the time of my life. So, nevertheless, it was my best experience.

To complete this exercise, you have to write a story that ends with the line given. Since the line has the word "nevertheless" included, you should write about something that was bad or went wrong but ended up being "the best experience".

Is it acceptable to commit a crime at any point in life?
Answer:
uh...technically no...but as long as you dont get caught...
Explanation:
Answer:
First of all, I don't think that most people who commit crimes really think it's okay, especially in a general sense. Not even specifically to their circumstances, for the most part. I have personally had contact with many non-violent offenders and most have accepted, to some degree, that they are guilty of committing a crime.
So, yes in my opinion there absolutely are times when it is alright (even a natural duty in some cases ) to commit a crime, but only if one is motivated by self preservation or the preservation of others; however no one has a right to take the life of other innocent persons no matter what the motivation may be.

In this excerpt from Mark Twain's "How to Tell a Story," which sentence is mostly clearly the thesis statement?
Answer:
Explanation:
Now, something had been happening there a little before, which I did not know anything about until a good many days afterwards, but I will tell you about it now. Those two old brothers had been having a pretty hot argument a couple of days before, and had ended by agreeing to decide it by a bet, which is the English way of settling everything.
Explanation:
Satire is the use of humor or irony in one's figure of speech in order to criticize the characteristics or to ridicule or expose a person's actions especially in political scenes. Mark Twain, in his "The The £1,000,000 Bank-Note" tells of an occurrence-
Now, something had been happening there a little before, which I did not know anything about until a good many days afterwards, but I will tell you about it now. Those two old brothers had been having a pretty hot argument a couple of days before, and had ended by agreeing to decide it by a bet, which is the English way of settling everything.
This is a satire in that it criticizes and ridicules the efforts of the two brothers in settling their "hot argument' by betting, which according to him, "is the English way of settling everything".
