Read the paragraph. Each year, though different, is also the same. In spring, the sun comes out, green things begin to shoot up from the brown soil, and people begin to smile again. In summer, the days are long, the gardens are a riot of color, and people are relaxed and casual. In fall, the days shorten, the leaves turn and start to fall, and people welcome the warmth of a pullover and a jacket. In winter, the nights are long, the trees are bare, and people shiver, longing for the sun. How does the use of parallelism enhance the paragraph? It creates an ironic tone through repetition. It emphasizes the cyclical nature of the year. It makes the text seem more orderly and scientific. It calls attention to similarities between the seasons.

Answer:

It emphasizes the cyclical nature of the year.

Explanation:

What the author is conveying through the text is not that each year is exactly the same, but that, while seasons make the year slightly different depending on the period, the things that happen are very similar.

To show this point, the author compares what happens each season with people, with vegetation, and with the day/night cycle. While they change, they are not so different in reality, and are cyclical in nature.

Answer:

B

Explanation:

I got it right on the test and because the guy above it said it was B

Which statement best summarizes this part of kafka's the metamorphosis? He was standing up straight enough now; dressed in a smart blue uniform with gold buttons, the sort worn by the employees at the banking institute; above the high, stiff collar of the coat his strong double-chin emerged; under the bushy eyebrows, his piercing, dark eyes looked out fresh and alert; his normally unkempt white hair was combed down painfully close to his scalp. He took his cap, with its gold monogram from, probably, some bank, and threw it in an arc right across the room onto the sofa, put his hands in his trouser pockets, pushing back the bottom of his long uniform coat, and, with look of determination, walked towards Gregor. He probably did not even know himself what he had in mind, but nonetheless lifted his feet unusually high. Gregor was amazed at the enormous size of the soles of his boots, but wasted no time with that — he knew full well, right from the first day of his new life, that his father thought it necessary to always be extremely strict with him. And so he ran up to his father, stopped when his father stopped, scurried forwards again when he moved, even slightly. In this way they went round the room several times without anything decisive happening, without even giving the impression of a chase as everything went so slowly. Gregor remained all this time on the floor, largely because he feared his father might see it as especially provoking if he fled onto the wall or ceiling. Whatever he did, Gregor had to admit that he certainly would not be able to keep up this running about for long, as for each step his father took he had to carry out countless movements. He became noticeably short of breath, even in his earlier life his lungs had not been very reliable. Now, as he lurched about in his efforts to muster all the strength he could for running he could hardly keep his eyes open; his thoughts became too slow for him to think of any other way of saving himself than running; he almost forgot that the walls were there for him to use although, here, they were concealed behind carefully carved furniture full of notches and protrusions — then, right beside him, lightly tossed, something flew down and rolled in front of him. It was an apple; then another one immediately flew at him; Gregor froze in shock; there was no longer any point in running as his father had decided to bombard him. He had filled his pockets with fruit from the bowl on the sideboard and now, without even taking the time for careful aim, threw one apple after another. These little, red apples rolled about on the floor, knocking into each other as if they had electric motors. An apple thrown without much force glanced against Gregor's back and slid off without doing any harm. Another one however, immediately following it, hit squarely and lodged in his back; Gregor wanted to drag himself away, as if he could remove the surprising, the incredible pain by changing his position; but he felt as if nailed to the spot and spread himself out, all his senses in confusion. The last thing he saw was the door of his room being pulled open, his sister was screaming, his mother ran out in front of her in her blouse (as his sister had taken off some of her clothes after she had fainted to make it easier for her to breathe), she ran to his father, her skirts unfastened and sliding one after another to the ground, stumbling over the skirts she pushed herself to his father, her arms around him, uniting herself with him totally — now Gregor lost his ability to see anything — her hands behind his father's head begging him to spare Gregor's life. A. Gregor's father appears more business–like to Gregor. B. Gregor notices a difference in his father, after which the father attacks and injures Gregor. C. People are powerless and must dislike the things they fear. D. Gregor's father throws an apple at Gregor.

Is there any other way for me to introduce myself in an essay besides ‘My name is...’ ?

Maternity leave, or any workplace policy based on gender, can—at this moment in history—only ever be a gilded cage. Though it was created to make life easier for women, we now know it creates a perception of women as being inconvenient to the workplace. We now know it chains men to an emotionally limited path. And it cannot serve the reality of a world in which there is more than one type of family. Because in the modern world, some families have two daddies. How exactly does maternity leave serve them?" (Hathaway) a. Sequence b. Problem and Solution c. Cause and Effect d. Compare and Contrast e. Chronological Order

Read the passage and study the image from Sugar Changed the World. An ancient rock painting of a person climbing a cliff to harvest honey from a beehive. Bees are depicted flying around the person. Caption: Based on drawings from around 7000 BCE, this image depicts rock climbers finding honey in cliffs. This is the earliest known form of honey collecting. (Eva Crane, World History of Beekeeping and Honey Hunting). . . . A rock drawing in Spain from about 7000 B.C. shows a man who has climbed a hillside, found a crevice holding a hive, and is reaching in to grab the honey. Indeed, a lucky wanderer in just about any part of Europe, Africa, or Asia that wasn’t covered with ice could stumble on a hive and—at the risk of some stings—come away with a treat. (People in the Americas had no bees, so used syrups made from maple trees, agave cactus, or mashed fruits for their sweeteners.) Then someone figured out that you didn't have to be lucky. You could hollow out a log near bees, and they would make it their home. You could "keep" bees—you didn't have to find them. How does the image support the text? The image shows how people kept bees for their honey by using hollow trees. The image shows that people used mashed fruits as sweeteners instead of sugar. The image shows how ancient people collected honey before beekeeping began. The image shows an ancient person collecting sap from a maple tree for syrup.

Original source:
Radio was a new thrill for many Americans in the 1920s, but it had extraordinary value for the isolated farm families of the Midwest, for whom solitude loomed as a daily problem. Radio was a source of music and fun, information and weather reports, and it was an easy way to enjoy the pleasure of other people's company. In-person visiting was a special event that often meant putting on dress clothes and serving cakes and lemonade and gathering politely in the parlor; frequently the press of chores or bad weather made that impossible. But with a radio, women could continue their housework as they listened to a friendly voice; men working in the barn had access to weather reports and farm programs.
From:
Stern, Jane, and Michael Stern. Two for the Road: Our Love Affair with American Food. Houghton Mifflin Company, 2005.
Using the source:
Jane Stern and Michael Stern note that because many midwestern farm families were isolated, radio provided a new thrill and extraordinary value (103).

Read this paragraph. Jodi, Jan, and Seth peered out the window. They could not believe that a line was forming! Their flier had advertised tryouts for a garage band guitarist, because Epic Noise had been one musician short since their friend Zach moved to Michigan. Now it looked as though their need would be met. Eleven or twelve kids their age lined the driveway, some propping up oversize cases, and others with guitars strapped on their backs. The three hosts of the audition believed that they would find what they were listening for among the assembled crowd. Which statement best summarizes this paragraph? Jodi, Jan, and Seth are hoping to form a band with the eleven or twelve kids lined up on the driveway. Jodi, Jan, and Seth hope to find a better guitarist than Zach, because he was not dedicated to the group. The Epic Noise band members are excited to perform for the group of kids assembled on the driveway. The Epic Noise band members are optimistic about their chances of filling their need for a guitarist at their audition.
