Which two character types best fit this description of Penny?

Penny’s grandmother lived in an old house in a small town. Every summer, Penny’s parents would make Penny visit her grandmother. Penny didn’t like leaving her friends. She would rather spend her vacation going to the beach or watching movies. Her grandmother kept a small garden in the backyard. She always tried to teach Penny about gardening. Although not interested at first, Penny found growing vegetables, flowers, and fruits quite enjoyable. She also began to enjoy spending time with her grandmother. In the end, Penny began to look forward to visiting her grandmother each year.

antagonist
protagonist
foil
flat
dynamic

Answers

Answer:

Protagonist

Dynamic.

Explanation:

In a literary text, the characters always display a type of quality, be it a round character or a flat character. Such qualities makes it easy to determine the type of role they will be significantly playing in the story.

From the given passage in the question, we can know that the character of Penny is the protagonist of the story or text. A protagonist is a character who is the main figure or image on which the story revolves around. Also, she is a dynamic character in that she displays significant change in her character throughout the story.

She is not an antagonist for an antagonist character is the one who opposes the protagonist.

Again, she is not a foil character for foil characters are in opposition with the protagonist, which is impossible for she cannot be in opposition with her own self.

Lastly, she is not a flat character for she displays change in her character while flat characters don't undergo any change throughout the story.

Read the excerpt passage then answer the questions below, based on the reading

When another old cave is discovered in the south of France, it is not usually news. Rather, it is an ordinary event. Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly anybody pays heed to them. However, when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in 1940, the world was amazed. Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes showing how people lived thousands of years ago. The scenes show people hunting animals, such as bison or wild cats. Other images depict birds and, most noticeably, horses, which appear in more than 300 wall images, by far outnumbering all other animals. Early artists drawing these animals accomplished a monumental and difficult task. They did not limit themselves to the easily accessible walls but carried their painting materials to spaces that required climbing steep walls or crawling into narrow passages in the Lascaux complex. Unfortunately, the paintings have been exposed to the destructive action of water and temperature changes, which easily wear the images away. Because the Lascaux caves have many entrances, air movement has also damaged the images inside. Although they are not out in the open air, where natural light would have destroyed them long ago, many of the images have deteriorated and are barely recognizable. To prevent further damage, the site was closed to tourists in 1963, 23 years after it was discovered.

Write three sentences correctly using ‘future tenses’ to describe the future advantages and disadvantages of the Lascaux cave complex being closed in 1963.

Answers

Answer:

1. The drawings exposed to the destructive action of water and temperature.

2. Natural light would have destroyed the images by maybe deteriorating them.

3. The images made the site closed due to the damage.

Read the following excerpt from a speech about a gigantic cave recently discovered in Canada. As you read, consider how you might present this information in a speech.

An enormous cavern was recently discovered in British Columbia's Wells Gray Provincial Park in the Canadian wilderness. Although the sheer size of the gaping hole is astounding, researchers believe it may have never been seen by human eyes before.

The giant cave, which has not yet been named, was first seen by helicopter in April during a caribou counting flight. Although the helicopter crew was lucky to accidentally spot this enormous void, the real mystery is how no one has ever seen it before, especially when you consider that the mouth of the cave measures approximately 328 feet long by 197 feet wide. To put this in perspective, you could turn the Statue of Liberty on its side and fit it into the cave's mouth, pedestal and all, and still have some wiggle room left over.

Which visual element would work BEST for this excerpt?

a small statue of liberty lying on its side
an infographic showing the location of the cave
a graph comparing the cave's size to others
a video showing the first views of the cave

Answers

Answer:

Buck : Dazed, suffering intolerable pain from throat and tongue, with the life half throttled out of him, Buck attempted to face his tormentors.

But he was thrown down and choked repeatedly, till they succeeded in filing the heavy brass collar from off his neck. Then the rope was removed, and he was flung into a cagelike crate. here he lay for the remainder of the weary night, nursing his wrath and wounded pride.

Buck: And each time the joyful bark that trembled in Buck’s throat was twisted into a savage growl.

But the saloon-keeper let him alone and he could not understand what it all meant. What did they want with him, these strange men? Why were they keeping him pent up in this narrow crate? He did not know why, but he felt oppressed by the vague sense of impending calamity and in the morning four men entered and picked up the crate.

Whereupon he lay down sullenly and allowed the crate to be lifted into a wagon. Then he, and the crate in which he was imprisoned, began a passage through many hands

. Clerks in the express office took charge of him; he was carted about in another wagon; a truck carried him, with an assortment of boxes and parcels, upon a ferry steamer; he was trucked off the steamer into a great railway depot, and finally he was deposited in an express car.

For two days and nights this express car was dragged along at the tail of shrieking locomotives; and for two days and nights Buck neither ate nor drank. In his anger he had met the first advances of the express messengers with growls, and they had retaliated by teasing him.
He flung himself against the bars, quivering and frothing. He did not mind the hunger so much, but the lack of water caused him severe suffering and fanned his wrath to fever pitch.

Buck:That had given them an unfair advantage; but now that it was off, he would show them. They would never get another rope around his neck.

His eyes turned bloodshot, and he was metamorphosed into a raging fiend.

Four men gingerly carried the crate from the wagon into a small, high-walled backyard. A stout man, with a red sweater that sagged generously at the neck, came out and signed the book for the driver.

That was the man, Buck divined, the next tormentor, and he hurled himself savagely against the bars. The man smiled grimly, and brought a hatchet and a club
