Explanation:
how was the main conflict in Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief fixed?
Answer: Zeus 's masterbolt has been stolen.
Explanation:
Zeus suspects that Poseidan stole it so Zeus blames Poseidan's son Percy Jackson which lead him to find the master bolt and return it before the Summer Solstice.
The conflict was that Zeus' Master Bolt was stolen. Since Zeus and Poseidon are in a brotherly rivalry, Zeus blames Poseidon. Percy's mother gets sent to the underworld in a fight with the minotaur. Then later gets claimed. His son Percy, has to go all the way across the United States to L.A. because Hades wants the Lightning Bolt, in return for his mother. Ares the god of war stops them along the way to retrieve something. When the return he gives them a bag.
After, the Lotus casino thing. They have to get to L.A. fast. Once, they reach L.A. and go to the studio they are supposed to the bag starts feeling heavy. Once, they are in the throne room the bag is super heavy. They manage to escape the underworld but without his mom. Then, they check and sure enough, the Lightning Bolt was in the bag that Ares gave them. Then Ares appears and Percy and Ares battle. Percy ends up winning, Hades found out and sent Alecto the Fury (Percy didn't know that yet) with his Mother.
They finally reach Olympus and turn the lightning bolt in right before the solstice. When they return to camp, Luke has a new sword, named backbiter. He comes to Percy and distracts him, then the apparent drinks were poisoned. While Percy was too weak to fight back, Luke stabbed him, then left. That was the cliffhanger for the next book.
Read the following sentence from "The Gift of the Magi" and answer the question. Had the queen of Sheba lived in the flat across the airshaft, Della would have let her hair hang out the window some day to dry just to depreciate Her Majesty's jewels and gifts. What is the meaning of the underlined word as it appears in the context of this sentence? disparage undervalue underestimate trivialize
Answer:
C) Undervalue.
Explanation:
Context plays a vital role in determining the meaning of the word as suggested by the author. It acts as a cue that allows the readers to connect to the viewpoint that the author is willing to convey and understand it effectively.
In the given excerpt from 'The Gift of the Magi', the author has employed hyperbole to show Della's pride in her long beautiful hair. Therefore, he establishes a comparison that her gold hair 'undervalue'(or depreciate) all the wealth and jewels of Queen Sheba and her amazing gifts to king Solomon. The idea of using the word 'depreciate' is to reflect how proud Della is of her hair that she may consider it more precious and valuable than all of the queen's wealth. Thus, option C is the correct answer.
Please help... I will give brainliest to the correct answer
Answer:
Impending doom to "Deep in debt" and "When the crash should come" if you look at the tone and subjects, they both seem to hint or foreshadow at something negative, dangerous, or deadly to come. Rags to Riches for "The fact had gone all abroad", and "Why, isn't six months". These talk of how someone from a lower class salary or social status soon rose the ranks, in a quick matter of time. You could say they went from Rags to Riches. Wealth worship goes to "Please get those things off sir". The character speaking is glorifying the clothing, aka worshiping wealth, just look at the adjectives...

Answer:Logos
Explanation:
Logos rhetorical devices does Thoreau most clearly use here. Hence option B is correct.

Hear the loud alarum bells, Brazen bells! What a tale of terror, now, their turbulency tells! In the startled ear of night How they scream out their affright! Too much horrified to speak, They can only shriek, shriek, Out of tune —"The Bells,” Edgar Allan Poe Use the drop-down menus to answer the questions. What sound device is used in the line “What a tale of terror, now, their turbulency tells”? “Shriek” is an example of what sound device? What is the rhyme scheme of the first five lines?
Answer:
Alliteration.
"Shriek" is an example of an onomatopoeia.
The rhyme scheme of the first five lines is AAABB.
Explanation:
The given lines of poetry given in the question are taken from the poem "The Bells" by Edgar Allen Poe. The lines are from the third part of the poem.
The sound device used in the line "What a tale of terror, now, their turbulency tells" is an alliteration. Alliteration is the repeated use of the same consonant sound/ letter in a line in close proximity. And the alliterative word/ letter is seen in the words "tale/ terror/ turbulency/ tells".
The word "shriek" is an example of onomatopoeia. Onomatopoeia is the creation of a word based on the sound it emits, like for example hiss, buzz, bam, roar, grrr... etc.
And the rhyme scheme of the first five lines is AAABB. This can be identified by taking into account the words that end every line of the poem.
The first and second line ends with the word "bells", third with "tells", the fourth line with "night" and the fifth line with "affright". "Bells" and, "tells" have the same rhyme so AAA, while "night" and "affright" end with the same sound so BB. Thus, the rhyming scheme is AAABB.
Answer:
1. alliteration
2. onomatopoeia
3. aaabb

Read the quotation from "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge." And now he became conscious of a new disturbance. Striking through the thought of his dear ones was a sound which he could neither ignore nor understand, a sharp, distinct, metallic percussion like the stroke of a blacksmith’s hammer upon the anvil; it had the same ringing quality. He wondered what it was, and whether immeasurably distant or near by—it seemed both. Its recurrence was regular, but as slow as the tolling of a death knell. He awaited each stroke with impatience and—he knew not why—apprehension. The intervals of silence grew progressively longer, the delays became maddening. With their greater infrequency the sounds increased in strength and sharpness. They hurt his ear like the thrust of a knife; he feared he would shriek. What he heard was the ticking of his watch.

Read the following excerpt from “The Gift of the Magi” and answer the question. For there lay The Combs--the set of combs, side and back, that Della had worshipped long in a Broadway window. Beautiful combs, pure tortoise shell, with jewelled rims--just the shade to wear in the beautiful vanished hair. They were expensive combs, she knew, and her heart had simply craved and yearned over them without the least hope of possession. And now, they were hers, but the tresses that should have adorned the coveted adornments were gone. But she hugged them to her bosom, and at length she was able to look up with dim eyes and a smile and say: "My hair grows so fast, Jim! And them Della leaped up like a little singed cat and cried, "Oh, oh!" Jim had not yet seen his beautiful present. She held it out to him eagerly upon her open palm. The dull precious metal seemed to flash with a reflection of her bright and ardent spirit."Isn't it a dandy, Jim? I hunted all over town to find it. You'll have to look at the time a hundred times a day now. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it." Instead of obeying, Jim tumbled down on the couch and put his hands under the back of his head and smiled."Della," said he, "let's put our Christmas presents away and keep 'em a while. They're too nice to use just at present. I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs. And now suppose you put the chops on." The magi, as you know, were wise men--wonderfully wise men--who brought gifts to the Babe in the manger. They invented the art of giving Christmas presents. Being wise, their gifts were no doubt wise ones, possibly bearing the privilege of exchange in case of duplication. And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house. But in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest. O all who give and receive gifts, such as they are wisest. Everywhere they are wisest. They are the magi. Based on the context clues, the underlined word, ardent, most likely means? gloomy calm passionate innocent

How do you decide where to purchase your apparel? Do you consider country of manufacture, company
advertising, cost, or style to be the most important consideration/factor? Explain.
Choose one factor and write a concise paragraph to explain/support your choice.
Answer:
Explanation:
Advertising might be important is you are considering the manufactures expenses as part of the buying price. The more he advertises the more cost he will pass on to you.
If you buy a lot of clothes, the style might be important to you, especially if you are not dressing for yourself.
If you live on a very tight budget, then cost is going to be important.
If you are an environmentalist, where the garment was manufactured is of major importance to you. I would pick this option because I do not believe child labor is ever justified, but the other three choices would probably hold more interest.

F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby," tells the story of Jay Gatsby and his unfulfilled dreams of trying to win back his former love which is the main and only purpose of his life. The story also deals with the theme of an American dream, the various obstacles that one encounters in life, and the evident social status that one maintains or tries to maintain to be "agreeable" for others.
In the given excerpt from the text, Nick, our narrator, describes his home. He agrees that his house at West Egg "is an eyesore but it was a small eyesore". This seems to suggest that it was an eyesore for those living in East Egg but not that much as compared to the other houses in West Egg. This shows that he is wealthy enough to live in a much better house than the others but at the same time, not wealthy enough to be able to reside in the "upper-class" East Egg side.
