Read the excerpt from "Opening Ceremonies of the New York and Brooklyn Bridge" by Hon. Seth Low, Mayor of the City of Brooklyn.


In the course of the construction of the Bridge a number of lives have been lost. Does it not sometimes seem as though every work of enduring value, in the material as in the moral world, must needs be purchased at the cost of human life? Let us recall with kindness at this hour the work of those who labored here faithfully unto the death, no less than of that great army of men who have wrought, year in and year out, to execute the great design. Let us give our meed of praise to-day to the humblest workman who has here done his duty well, no less than to the great engineer who told him what to do.


Which of the following best summarizes the central idea of this excerpt?


The mayor gently lectures on the importance of speaking kindly about those who have died.

The mayor commemorates and gives praise to those who were killed while building the bridge.

Low gives a monotonous explanation of the costs of the materials that were purchased for the bridge.

Low remembers those humble men who labored intensely and faithfully to execute this dream.

Read the excerpt from “The Monkey's Paw.”
"Might drop on his head from the sky," said the frivolous Herbert.
"Morris said the things happened so naturally," said his father, "that you might if you so wished attribute it to coincidence."
"Well, don't break into the money before I come back," said Herbert as he rose from the table. "I'm afraid it'll turn you into a mean, avaricious man, and we shall have to disown you."
His mother laughed, and following him to the door, watched him down the road; and returning to the breakfast table, was very happy at the expense of her husband's credulity. All of which did not prevent her from scurrying to the door at the postman's knock, nor prevent her from referring somewhat shortly to retired sergeant-majors . . . when she found that the post brought a tailor's bill.

How does Mrs. White’s reaction to wishing on the monkey’s paw compare to Mr. White’s?

Mrs. White does not believe in the magic, but Mr. White does.
Mrs. White believes in the magic, but Mr. White does not.
They both believe in the magic.
Neither believes in the magic.

Answers

Answer:

They both believe in the magic.

Explanation:

The short story "The Monkey's Paw" by W. W. Jacobs revolves around the magical ability of a monkey's paw in fulfilling three wishes to its owner. The story relays the message the greed is never good for anyone, let alone bring people happiness.

Mr. White acquired the talisman from his friend Sergeant Major Morris who had got it during his time in India. And he believed that the talisman brings harm more than luck, and threw into the fire. But Mr. White took it out and decided to keep it for himself. This shows that he somehow believed in the magical ability of the monkey's paw. And like her husband, Mrs. White as well as their son Herbert also believed in the paw's magic. Their conversation about the "two hundred pounds" and their belief that it'll be granted shows their belief in the monkey's paw and its magical abilities.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.

Answers

Answer:

Bradbury is a genius inscriber who masterfully engenders work that contributes towards the betterment of society while withal composing a caveat. He often pushes towards a conception of the regime having an exorbitant amount of power and proposes a much more libertarian view of the world. He achieved this by exhibiting categorical details in his inditement to show a contrast of solitude. He focuses his inscription to show minute details to expand the reader’s cognizance to feel they are experiencing it themselves.

Bradbury often pushes the plot of “beauty through the pain” virtually by perpetually exhibiting the dark, uncensored world afore it may become censored. Bradbury’s work, albeit nice, should be utilized as a cautionary warning towards younger individuals. It pains me to visually perceive this, but the pushing of a higher regime could facilely enforce rules like this, and Bradbury, albeit the book was indited in 1953, is at its truest form right now.

This narrative element involves a problem that characters must solve, or some obstacle that characters must overcome. rising action dialogue C setting d conflict ​

Answers

Answer:Plot - How the author arranges events to develop the basic idea; it is the sequence of events in a story or play. The

plot is a planned, logical series of events having a beginning, middle, and end. The short story usually has one plot

so it can be read in one sitting. There are five essential parts of plot:

1) Exposition (introduction) - Beginning of the story; characters, background, and setting revealed.

2) Rising Action - Events in the story become complicated; the conflict is revealed. These are events between

the introduction and climax.

• Conflict - Essential to plot, opposition ties incidents together and moves the plot. Not merely

limited to arguments, conflict can be any fOfI1)of struggle the main character faces. Within a short

story, there may be only one central struggle, or there may be many minor obstacles within a

dominant struggle. There are two ~ of conflict:

o Internal- Struggle within one's self.

• Character vs. Self - Struggles with own soul, physical limitations, choices, etc.

o External - Struggle with a force outside one's self.

• Character vs. Character - Struggles against other people.

• Character vs. Nature - Struggles against animals, weather, environment, etc.

Answers

Answer:

There was an original charter in 1629 and criminal law was administered by the Court of Assistants.  The Court of Assistants consisted of the Governor, the Deputy Governor, and there were many assistants.  The Court of Assistants only judged cases on what they knew and they were not trained lawyers.  Paranoia took over and they were charging people as being witches.  Later, they were not longer hysterical and realized that they could not prove beyond doubt that someone was an actual witch.  The judges were literally told that they could not just make someone guilty because of what someone said.  The governor finally pardoned the rest of the people that were on trial.

low, as one dead in the bottom of a tomb." Why is this quote significant?
O A It foreshadows Tybalt's death
OB It shows that Juliet is a static character
OC It foreshadows the fatal future of their love
OD It serves as dramatic irony in the play

Answers

Answer:

C. It foreshadows the fatal future of their love

Explanation:

Foreshadowing is a literary device in which the author gives us hints about what is going to happen later in the story. In literature, visions are often used as a foreshadowing tool.

In the given lines, Juliet has a vision of Romeo being dead. This truly happens at the end of the tragedy - Romeo returns to Verona, believing that Juliet is dead. When he arrives at her tomb, he sees her and concludes that his assumption was correct. Grieving, he drinks poison, which results in his death. However, it turns out that Juliet is still alive. She wakes up, finds him dead, and kills herself with his own sword. This is the fatal future of their love foreshadowed by Juliet's vision.

D.
It allows the author to show how long it takes to conduct this type of research.
E.
It allows the author to identify the problems that existed in the previous research.

Answers

Answer:

E - It allows the author to identify the problems that existed in the previous research.

Explanation:

As the excerpt states in the beginning: "  Our thinking, perception, and ability to understand language are processed in the outermost layer of the brain. This area is known as the cerebral cortex. Researchers are still working to understand how the cerebral cortex is organized. Scientists have used a variety of techniques to map the brain's organization over the past century. However, these measures don't always reveal the same boundaries and borders in the brain's landscape." This tells up that there were problems before hand. Which goes with B.

It allows the author to identify the problems that existed in the previous research and hence the author's use of chronological order help to convey this idea.

Chronological order is the placement of events based on when they occur. There are many ways to organize your events. For example, people may rank the events of their lives according to their importance and where the events happened. However, if the criterion for placing a life event is the timing of the event, the placement will be in chronological order. The chronology can be used to convey two different meanings: calendar and time.

As per the opening excerpt, this indicates that there were issues before hand. The correct answer is option E.

(P.S I love your tamaki profile! so baby!)

Answer:

I put E. Edge tests are so hard :'o

Explanation:

Read the passage and answer the questions that follows :

(1) We all want to succeed. Whether it’s in losing weight learning the guitar,
speed reading, or starting our own business. For those of us who have tried
and failed, success seems elusive. Why is it one person succeeds where another
personal fails? First and foremost, I believe it is in their mindset. But secondly,
I believe that successful people have developed certain habits, either naturally
or through research that the rest of us haven’t stumbled upon yet.
(2) What is important to you? Finding your core values may seem a bit off-topic
when it comes to success, but creating goals that are in line with your values
is key to creating intrinsic motivation. Sit and reflect on what you value most.
Pick a handful of things and actually write them down. Remind yourself of
your values every day, and reflect on whether you are honoring those values
through your work.
(3) Choose one goal to start. Something large enough that will give you a sense of
accomplishment, while aligning well with your core values. Focus is key here.
The more focused you are on one goal, the higher chance you have of success.
Set a date for success. Identify when your hope to achieve your goal. Keep
it realistic, while not giving yourself too much time. By setting a time limit, you
are making the process more real. Believe fully in your ability to achieve your
goal. Visualize yourself having completed your goal in the exact time-frame
you have chosen, although finishing early is also acceptable. You don’t need
to consider the failures that will happen along the way. Success is inevitable.
Others may think you will fail, don’t let yourself be one of them!
(4) Set up negative consequences for missing the deadline. Necessity is the mother
of all invention. If you can manage to keep yourself intrinsically motivated,
that’s great. If not, this will help kick you into gear and keep your eye on the
prize. Prioritize the tasks you have in front of you. Don’t always do the most
urgent thing first. Pick the task that’s the most important. Sometimes these
overlap, which is nice. By always accomplishing what’s most important, you
are making clear progress toward your goal.
(5) Push yourself. Go out of your comfort zone. This is the best way to learn, and
the best way to make progress quickly. If you’re looking for new ideas, being
risk averse will not help. This takes a lot of self-awareness. Try and be
conscious of when you are holding yourself back out of fear. Push yourself to
be courageous, and take that next step. Failure is inevitable when you take
risks, which is what you’ll be doing if you want to succeed. By its very definition,
the desire to succeed at something means you are risking failure. Many people
tend to give up far too early. Use failure. Treat it as a good thing, and march
on!
(6) Take time every day to sit quietly and reflect on your values, goals, and progress
made so far. Where have you excelled, and where can you do better. Is
everything you are doing still lining up with your core values? Always look for
ways to improve. Never stop learning. Know what everyone else is doing,
and what everyone else has done, and how they did it. Search wide for
knowledge that might help you, and any inspiration that may do the same.
Never think you have nothing to learn from others.

(a) On the basis of your reading of the above passage, make notes on its
using recognizable abbreviations (Min. 4) wherever necessary. Use a
format you consider appropriate. Supply a suitable title.

(b) Write a summary of the passage.

Why is Calixta happy at the end of the story? How can everyone be happy at the end of the story? What does the author's attitude toward the adultery seem to be? Is there an overall "moral tone" to the story?

Answers

This question is about "the storm" by Kate Chopin

Answer Explanation:

1. Calixta is happy at the end of the story because her son and her husband arrive home safely, even in the face of the storm, besides, she does not feel any remorse for the adultery she committed.

2. Everyone is happy because she has a family that was not destroyed by her actions, and they know that adultery is impossible to be discovered, so their lives, as they are used to, will be maintained.

3. Reading the short story, we have the impression that the author does not encourage adultery, but does not see it as something capable of destroying a family and ruining the marriage, but rather as something that can be kept secret, without hurting anyone.

4. The only moral tone that can be considered in this story is that people should do what they want and make them happy regardless of the rules established by society.
