Meat and potatoes___ my grandfather's favorite meal when he was young.
Which verb is correct?
A. is
B. are
C. was
D. were

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D. were

Explanation:

Is is present tense.

Are is also present tense.

Answer 2

Answer: Were

Explanation:

In this sentence, we're talking about what the grandfather ate when he was YOUNGER. This means that it was in the past, so it would either be was, or were. In the sentence, we can see that his favorite foods were meat AND potatoes. These are two things, so we use the plural form, which is were.

But soon he knew himself the most unfit
Of men to herd with man; with whom he held
Little in common; untaught to submit
His thoughts to others, though his soul was quelled
In youth by his own thoughts; still uncompelled,
He would not yield dominion of his mind
To spirits against whom his own rebelled;
Proud though in desolation; which could find
A life within itself, to breathe without mankind.

"Friends departing to take up a post on Mars"


This idea is most closely related to the ideas of which person discussed in the selection?

A John F. Kennedy

B Ray Bradbury

C Jules Verne

DH. G. Wells

Answers

Answer:

B. Ray Bradbury.

Explanation:

The line "Friends departing to take up a post on Mars" is from the poem "Post Early for Space" by Peter J. Henniker-Heaton where the speaker talks of settling into other planets and invading beyond the earth. He compares this to the American settlers, setting sights onto new directions.

The idea that man will soon settle on Mars and set up homes had already been written about by Ray Bradbury in his 1950 novel "The Martian Chronicles". In it, he describes an expedition to the red planet and how man inhabited the planet, eventually moving their families from Earth to Mars. Thus, this idea of "tak[ing] up a post on Mars" is related to Bradbury's fictional novel.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B.

The flounder is a type of marine flatfish. Flounders lurk on the ocean floor to ambush smaller fish and other prey. When flounders are born, their eyes are located on each side of the head, but as the flounder grows, one of its eyes migrates to the other side so that both eyes are on the same side of its body. As the fish lies on the seafloor, both eyes look upward, alert for prey or predators. To protect itself, the flounder also uses camouflage, changing its color to match its surroundings. For example, the flounder appears a dull, spotted color when lying on the seafloor but turns almost transparent when swimming near the surface. What is the purpose of the underlined sentence?​

Answer:

D. To make an emotional appeal to the audience

Explanation:

Option D is the correct answer.

Looking at the passage, we can see that every reader reading paragraph 3 will become emotional. when I was reading the third paragraph my emotions were not spared.

The atrocities that were committed which the speaker shares to the audience makes an emotional appeal to the audience. It actually evokes the emotions and feelings of the audience. This I believe is the purpose of the paragraph.

Answer:

Symbol Analysis

Obviously she's the main character and a huge part of this poem, but is the Lady of Shalott a major image? Lancelot is almost buried in description, but we hear almost nothing about the Lady herself. Hair color, eyes, height? Those things aren't all crucial, but they'd help us to build a mental picture of our main character. In some ways, it feels like the speaker is trying to hold back an image of the Lady, to make her deliberately hard to imagine.

Line 18: The first time we hear her name is as the closing line of the second stanza. We're going to hear the same thing a lot more before the poem is over. The Lady's name is a refrain that the speaker uses over and over. Her name almost starts to hypnotize us, like a magical spell.Line 71: Don't worry, we won't take you through all of the spots where the poem talks about the Lady, but we thought this one was worth mentioning. This is the place where the Lady admits her frustration with her life, and says she is "half sick of shadows." While we still don't get an image of her face, we can feel the strength of her personality in this moment, a glimmer of the independence and strong will that is about to blossom.Line 153: This is the end of the Lady's transformation, the moment of her death. She has moved from slavery and imprisonment to freedom, but it has cost her everything. Before she sang, now she is quiet. She was warm, now she is frozen. All of these are powerful images of loss and change. Eventually she becomes a sort of statue, a pale shape in a coffin-like boat.Explanation:

Answer:

Your answer should include some of the following points:

the mirror (as a symbol of art or the world as viewed by an artist)

the tower (as a symbol of isolation, confinement, or the loftiness of an artist's pursuits)

the boat (as a symbol of an artist's experience of confronting society or the real world; or as a symbol of an artist's attempt to communicate with the world)

Answers

Answer:

Douglass does not work in the fields as a child because children are not strong enough. He has some free time outside his regular tasks. Douglass often accompanies the Colonel’s grandson, Daniel, as a servant on hunting expeditions. Daniel eventually becomes attached to Douglass, which is to Douglass’s advantage. Douglass still suffers, though. Slave children are given no other clothing but a long linen shirt. The cold of the winters so harms Douglass’s feet that he could insert the pen he now writes with into the cracks of his flesh. Children eat corn mush out of a communal trough, so only the strongest children get enough to eat.

At the age of seven or eight, Douglass is selected to go to Baltimore to live with Captain Anthony’s son‑in‑law’s brother, Hugh Auld. For three days, Douglass happily prepares to leave Colonel Lloyd’s plantation. He cleans himself thoroughly and is rewarded with his first pair of trousers from Lucretia Auld, Captain Anthony’s daughter. Douglass is not sad to leave the plantation, as he has no family ties or sense of home, like children usually have. He also feels he has nothing to lose, because even if his new home in Baltimore is full of hardship, it can be no worse than the hardships he has already seen and endured on the plantation. Additionally, Baltimore seems to be a place of promise. Douglass’s cousin Tom describes to Douglass the impressive beauty of the city.

Douglass sails on the river to Baltimore on a Saturday morning. He looks once back on Colonel Lloyd’s plantation, hoping it will be the last time he sees it. He then sets his sights ahead in the distance. The ship docks at Annapolis first, briefly. Douglass recalls being thoroughly impressed by its size, though in retrospect Annapolis now seems small compared to Northern industrial cities. The ship reaches Baltimore on Sunday morning, and Douglass arrives at his new home. At the Aulds’ he is greeted by the kindly face of Mrs. Sophia Auld, her husband, Hugh Auld, and their son, Thomas Auld, who is to be -Douglass’s master.

Douglass considers his transfer to Baltimore a gift of providence. If he had not been removed from Colonel Lloyd’s plantation at that time, Douglass believes he would still be a slave today, rather than a man sitting freely in his home writing his autobiography. Douglass realizes that he may appear superstitious or self‑centered to suppose that providence had a hand in his delivery to Baltimore, but the feeling is still strong. From his earliest memory, Douglass recalls sensing that he would not be a slave forever. This sense gives him hope in hard times, and he considers it a gift from God.
