"The Landlady" is a short horror story  by Roald Dahl that is a dark and terrifying story of a 17-year-old Billy Weaver.

Hello. Since it is not possible to access page 281 of your book, this answer may be a little inaccurate, but I hope I will help you.

All the rhetorical resources used by Lincoln in his speeches, had as main objective, to create a discourse rich of information, which had the capacity to move the public to different aspects and tried to expose true, deep and proven arguments, through all the details of support and evidence.

All of this impacts the public in different ways, but all positive, stimulating the public's support for what is being talked about. Lincoln knew how to do this with mastery and for that reason, his speeches are remembered today, as speeches of great social impact.

Read the excerpt from White Fang. "Kiche!" the man cried again, this time with sharpness and authority. And then the cub saw his mother, the she-wolf, the fearless one, crouching down till her belly touched the ground, whimpering, wagging her tail, making peace signs. The cub could not understand. He was appalled. The awe of man rushed over him again. His instinct had been true. His mother verified it. She, too, rendered submission to the man-animals. Which best states the perspective of White Fang in the excerpt? A: She is preparing to attack the man to show her authority

Answers

This question is missing the options. I've found them online. Since the excerpt is the same, I will omit it:

Which best states the perspective of White Fang's mother in the excerpt?

A. She is preparing to attack the man to show her authority.

B. She is puzzled by her cub's actions in front of the man.

C. She is confused about how she should act in front of  the man.

D. She is hoping to please the man by showing her obedience.

Answer:

The option which best states the perspective of White Fang's mother in this excerpt is:

C. She is confused about how she should act in front of  the man.

Explanation:

"White Fang" is a novel by author Jack London.

This is a tricky question, especially if we do not know what happens previously in the story. If we only read this particular excerpt and try to answer based on it, we will most likely choose letter D. However, that should not be the case. Take a look at how White Fang's mother acts in the previous paragraph:

She bounded in amongst them, her anxious and militant motherhood making her anything but a pretty sight. But to the cub the spectacle of her protective rage was pleasing. He uttered a glad little cry and bounded to meet her, while the man-animals went back hastily several steps. The she-wolf stood over against her cub, facing the men, with bristling hair, a snarl rumbling deep in her throat. Her face was distorted and malignant with menace, even the bridge of the nose wrinkling from tip to eyes so prodigious was her snarl.

White Fang's mother is confused and unsure about how to act. At first, she seems vicious, ready to attack the men to protect her cub. However, once a man yells "Kiche" with an imperative tone of voice, she changes her mind and acts submissively, which confuses White Fang. She is not necessarily trying to please the man. She is merely responding to his authority. She went from being enraged to being afraid, since the man's actions confused her. Therefore, the best option is letter C. She is confused about how she should act in front of  the man.

Hamlet character is complex in the excerpt because his loyalty to his ally endures hardship

Answers

Answer:

His erratic behavior confuses his friend.

Explanation:

The following passage is the one you were given. It's a part of Act III of Hamlet, a tragedy written by William Shakespeare:

Rosencrantz: My lord, you once did love me.

Hamlet: So I do still, by these pickers and stealers.

Rosencrantz: Good my lord, what is your cause of distemper? You do surely bar the door upon your own liberty, if you deny your griefs to your friend.

Hamlet: Sir, I lack advancement.

Rosencrantz: How can that be when you have the voice of the king himself for your succession in Denmark?

Hamlet: Ay, sir, but 'While the grass grows,'—the proverb is something musty.

The options you were given are the following:

His loyalty to his ally endures hardship. His erratic behavior confuses his friend. His desire for revenge defines him. His quest for political power is unwavering.

The given dialogue takes place between Hamlet and his childhood friend, Rosencrantz, who was summoned along with Guildenstern by King Claudius to distract Hamlet from his apparent madness and if possible to discover the cause of it. We can see that Hamlet's behavior has become erratic (Good my lord, what is your cause of distemper?) and that Rosencrantz is confused by it. He asks many questions, wanting to see what is on Hamlet's mind. This is why the second option is the correct one.

Answer:

B. his erratic behavior confuses his friend.

A researcher wants to examine the relationship between the weight of a student’s school bag and the presence of back pain. Describe a study you might conduct to answer this question. Be sure to include the type of study and the data to be collected.

Answers

Cross Sectional Causal Research

A cross sectional causal research - can be used to study the relationship between weight of students' school bag & presence of back pain.

Cross sectional study is the study of difference sample units from population at same period of time. Causal research seeks to identify & explain cause effect relationship between variables under consideration (independent causal variable & dependent resultant variable)

"When the legislative and executive powers are united in the same leader, or in the same group of leaders, there can be no liberty" -Montesquieu, The Spirit of the Laws Montesquieu was one a of the enlightenment philosophers that influenced how the founding fathers structured the federal government; based on the quote above, what feature of government did we gain from Montesquieu?

Answers

Answer:

Separation of powers

Explanation:

In this quote from Baron de Montesquieu, he stated that if the legislative and executive arms of government are aways in unity then, the checks and balances that should be in government would be absent and this would result in a lack of liberty.

The arms of government are supposed to have a separation of powers or a high degree of independence so that one arm of government does not assume an authoritarian disposition that would lead to a loss of liberty for the people.

The scientists pointed out that because beets grow underground, they continue to grow in freezing conditions. Thus, they hypothesized, an extract of beet roots could melt ice on roads in winter. To test this hypothesis, the scientists froze equal volumes of water on two separate plates. They spread an extract of beet roots on one plate of ice and sprinkled an equal amount of salt over the other plate. After keeping both plates at 0C (the temperature at which water freezes) for a period of time, they measured the amount of melted water on each plate. Their results showed that the plate treated with beet extract contained more liquid water than the plate treated with salt.
