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 1

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.

Answer 2

C or They both believe in the magic.

Which type of conjunction is the word in bold?

Answers

Answer:

Coordinating conjunction-?

Explanation:

I mean...... you didn't specify which word was in bold, because the whole sentence was in bold.. but if I were to guess or something "and" is an example of a conjunction so.... it would be a coordinating conjunction since it's connecting that sentence in a way. If that makes sense.

Hope that helps

If you mean ''and'', then its a coordinating conjunction.

The idea of invisible ink had been around for a long time. Write using lemon juice as ink, for instance, and the writing will be invisible. Heat the paper, and the writing will appear, looking as if it were written in brown ink. British agents used two types of ink. One could be made visible by holding the paper over the flame of a candle; the other could be read by applying a common chemical. Major John Andre, the chief British intelligence officer in New York, told his agents to put an F in the corner of letters containing invisible ink needing fire to read and A for those needing acid.

The author’s main purpose in this excerpt is toexplain the use of invisible ink during the American Revolution.

B

Looking at her words, she describes the admiration of others but there is a disconnect in the way she talks about the broken mirror. An metaphor for the broken state of her relationship to the others. The eyes are looking but there is no warmth or friendship. They see what they want to see, a fantasy that leads to nothing. The world she has built to see more than what she has.

How is alliteration helpful to understanding the theme of a text?

Answers

Answer:

Alliteration is helpful to understand the theme of the text by creating a mood or tone of a poem or piece of prose.

Facts: For example, repetition of the “s” sound often suggests a snake-like quality, implying slyness and danger. The repetitive sounds in alliteration work with other elements like meter and word choice to create the desired mood or tone.

Can you write a ten sentence short story that somehow includes soda, a porcupine, fallen stars, and a river?

Use your imagination! Have fun writing, and I’ll give brainliest to my favorite one!

Answers

Answer:

ok

Explanation:

As the porcupine headed down the woods on a starry night, it heard a rustle in the bushes that made him squirm. He tried to ignore it but it still scared him, so gathering all his courage he ran to the bushes and pulled them open. Turns out, it was just a kid feeding lilacs some soda. At the sight of the porcupine, the kid ran off, wetting himself. Since nothing seemed to want to kill him, the porcupine continued down the trail. Through a large clearing stood a beautiful gazebo. The bad part, a river blocked the porcupine's way. It upset the porcupine knowing he can't get across, but what happened shocked him. The fallen stars, the greatest myth within the story, had risen from the river bank, still as bright as ever and formed a path for him. He was shocked, the stars only came for something important, something worth their time. The only question now was whether or not to pass.

The unexpected plays an important part in this particular text. We also get a glimpse into gender roles and how they are manipulated in this piece. Before we go on to analyze, take a few minutes to write down what you think gender roles are in our society today. Gender refers to male or female and roles refer to the way they are expected to think or behave. Do you think there are clearly defined gender roles in today's society? Are men expected to act a certain way? Are women? Support your position with examples. Make sure that your sentences are legible and clear. Follow all writing conventions including those for capitalization and punctuation.

Answers

Answer:

Gender roles have changed through the years. Many years ago women had to stay home taking care of their children, they could not work. It is not like that anymore, but there are still a lot of gender roles in today's society. Nowadays, movements such us feminism are trying to get rid of them, however, it is impossible to say they are not there. Men and women are definitely expected to act a certain way in different situations. For example, women cannot have hair in their bodies but men have to, and women are expected to be sensitive but men cannot cry because that is not masculine. These examples are social constructions, the truth is women can have body hair and men can cry.

Explanation:

To complete this exercise, you have to write about gender roles giving examples. It's important to understand how gender roles have changed through the years to realize that they can keep changing because they are not universal truths.
