Read this excerpt from Paragraph two of Poe's "The Black Cat" and answer the question.

There is something in the unselfish and self-sacrificing love of a brute, which goes directly to the heart of him who has had frequent occasion to test the paltry friendship and gossamer fidelity of mere Man.

Which phrases from this excerpt support the narrator's distrust of human beings? Select all that apply.

A "unselfish and self-sacrificing"
B "love of a brute"
C "directly to the heart"
D "frequent occasion"
E "paltry friendship"
F "gossamer fidelity"

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(B,E,F)

Explanation:

As we can see the question is basically asking for evidence that supports why the author has a distrust of human beings (Basically saying that the author cant trust humans, and can't rely on them for almost anything.)

So with that being said, we need to find text evidence that shows a negative perspective coming from the author. So we can go and cross off answer options  (A: "unselfish and self-sacrificing")  (D: "frequent occasion")  and (C: "directly to the heart") bc two of those are positive opinions on humans, and one isn't close to being negative nor positive opinions towards humans.

Now let's take a look at "B"

"Love of a  Brute"

Basically saying that somebody is showing love-(affection, caring for) a wild animal-(a violent human).

We can use context clues to find out if this is negative or positive

Before "Love of a Brute," it says "There is something in the unselfish and self-sacrificing" using this we can see that it means "For a person to love a wild animal type of person-( a violent human) is unselfish on their part, because of how abysmal-(horrible) that brute-(violent human) is.

Now let's look at E: "paltry friendship"

This is basically saying that a human shows inconsequential-(Little importance towards something) feelings towards friendship with someone else.

Lastly, we can look at F: "gossamer fidelity"

This means like a thin-(In this sentence it would mean "having little") loyalty-(being trust worthy, and faithful) towards someone.

With all this being said all answers that would apply to answering the

question would be "B "love of a brute", E "paltry friendship", and F "gossamer fidelity".

Also, it may be affected by inflation, and it carries the risk of default: if a city or county government fails to make its bond payments, then the bondholder loses money. Both companies tell you the risks, and they have the same level of it. Investment Opportunity 1 has three documents to illustrate the fund’s risks and returns over the past five years.

The first graph lists how a hypothetical investment of $10,000 fared over those five years. The second graph lists an overall earnings percentage for four different earnings periods. The final graphic shows how the company rates the level of risk. Investment Opportunity 2 also provided three documents to illustrate the fund’s risks and returns over the past five years. The first graph lists how a hypothetical investment of $10,000 fared over those five years. The second graph lists an overall earnings percentage for four different earnings periods.

The word which has the same root word as especially is specialized. Thus, option C is correct.

What is Root words?

A root is the heart of a word that cannot be broken down into more significant pieces. A root is a morphologically basic unit that may be left bare or to which a prefix or suffix can be attached. A root word is a basic word with no prefix or suffix added to it.

Specialized is "to designate specifically," from special (adj.) + -ize, perhaps based on the French spécialiser. The term with the same root as specifically is specialized.

Therefore, it can be concluded that a specialized person or item has been trained or developed for a specific purpose or area of knowledge.  As a result, option C is correct.

The text describes some effects of the construction of the Panama Canal.
What is one of these effects?
A
It increased the travel time of cargo ships moving between the Atlantic
and Pacific Oceans.
B
It increased the expenses involved with moving cargo ships between the
Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
С
It cut down the travel time of cargo ships moving between the Atlantic and
Pacific Oceans.
D
It decreased the number of people who moved from North America to
South America.

Answers

Answer: С . It cut down the travel time of cargo ships moving between the Atlantic and  Pacific Oceans.

Explanation:

Before the Panama canal was built, ships in the western hemisphere trying to get to the Pacific ocean either had to go around Argentina or South Africa, the latter of which would see them having to go through the Indian Ocean first.

The Panama canal changed all that by cutting a path across Panama in central America to the Pacific. This allowed for ships to be able to get to the Pacific faster and vice versa thereby cutting down the travel time for cargo ships moving between both oceans.

According to Holling, why is being a Presbyterian now a disaster? *

Answers

Answer:

Holling Hoodhood has to spend his Wednesday afternoons with Mrs. Baker, because he is not allowed to go to where the other students in his school have to go. Holling attends a school that is a mixture of Catholic and Jewish students. Holling is neither. On Wednesdays, the Jewish students go to Hebrew school and the Catholic students go to catechism.

"So being a Presbyterian was now a disaster. Especially on Wednesday afternoons when, at 1:45 sharp, half of my class went to Hebrew School at Temple Beth-El, and, at 1:55, the other half went to Catechism at Saint Adelbert's. This left behind just the Presbyterians. Of which there had been three, and now there was one.

Me."

Because Holling can't go with the Catholic students or the Jewish students, he has to spend the rest of the afternoon with Mrs. Baker. Holling and Mrs. Baker are not happy with the arrangement. For the first month or so Mrs. Baker makes Holling do menial tasks such as cleaning chalk erasers. Eventually she decides to teach Holling Shakespeare, and that begins a strong and long lasting bond between the two of them.

Which of the following is determined by the caste a person is born into?
A
The caste system determines the city where people will live.
B
The caste system determines people's employment opportunities.
С
The caste system determines peoples names.
D
The caste system determines who people will marry.

Answers

Answer:

B). The caste system determines people's employment opportunities.

Explanation:

As per the ancient Hindu tradition, an individual's caste was determined by the family or the kind of social standing he/she is born into. For example; if an individual is born into a Brahmin family(upper caste), he would get a dignified social standing in the society and pursue occupations like teaching, priesthood, etc. Thus, the caste system not only segregates the society into parts but also determines the profession they would pursue. Thus, a scheduled caste person can only perform inferior jobs like laborers while Vaishyas could only be the farmers or merchants.
