Read this excerpt from "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi” by Rudyard Kipling.

"Son of the big man that killed Nag,” she hissed, "stay still. I am not ready yet. Wait a little. Keep very still, all you three. If you move I strike, and if you do not move I strike. Oh, foolish people, who killed my Nag!”

Teddy's eyes were fixed on his father, and all his father could do was to whisper, "Sit still, Teddy. You mustn't move. Teddy, keep still.”

Then Rikki-tikki came up and cried: "Turn round, Nagaina; turn and fight!”

"All in good time,” said she, without moving her eyes. "I will settle my account with you presently. Look at your friends, Rikki-tikki. They are still and white; they are afraid. They dare not move, and if you come a step nearer I strike.”

"Look at your eggs,” said Rikki-tikki, "in the melon-bed near the wall. Go and look, Nagaina.”

The big snake turned half round, and saw the egg on the verandah. "Ah-h! Give it to me,” she said.

Based on the excerpt, which question would be the best interview question to ask Rikki-tikki?

How did you distract Nagaina to take her attention away from the family?
How did you feel when you saw that Nagaina had Teddy cornered?
How did Teddy’s father help keep him calm?

Which of the following sentences contains a dangling modifier?
A. After opening the window, the evening air rushed in.
B. Having finished dinner, the dishes were washed in the sink.
C. After getting laid off, the newspaper want ads were a useful
resource.
D. All of the above.

Answers

Answer:

C

Explanation:

A dangling modifier is a word or phrase that modifies a word not clearly stated in the sentence. A modifier describes, clarifies, or gives more detail about a concept.

In A, opening the window modifies the evening air. Having finished dinner modifies the dishes that were washed in the sink.

C is the only one without a clear word not modified.

The sentence that includes the dangling modifier is - "After getting laid off, the newspaper want ads were a useful resource". Thus, option (C) is correct.

What is sentences?

Sentence refers to the group of the words arranged properly in the line and gives the sense or the meaning. The line is only said to be as a sentence when it gives meaning to the words.

A group of words that can stand alone and communicate a statement, inquiry, exclamation, or command. They normally have a subject and a predicate and typically have one main clause with one or more supporting clauses is a Sentence.

A dangling modifier is a phrase or term that modifies a word in the sentence that is not explicitly expressed. A modifier explains, clarifies, or adds extra information to an idea.

Therefore, it can be concluded that in option (C) there is no word being stated as explicitly or any unnecessary information is added. Hence, option (C) is correct.

What are the quarrelsome man's punishments for his rude behavior ? The elves of old Mexico

Answers

Answer:

He was locked up in a hay-barn room as a prisoner. There, he had a troublesome night with the elves who threw hay on him.

Explanation:

In this folklore, the quarrelsome man attended a dancing concert at La Loma with others. There he saw a maiden who was betrothed to the shepherd and asked her to dance with him. The maiden refused for she was already betrothed to a man. A cowherd also told the quarrelsome man that the girl was already betrothed to his brother. All of these fell on deaf ears as the quarrelsome man kept on insisting and even pushed the cowherd violently.

To punish him, the men at the concert bundled him into a hay-barn room and locked him up. There, he spent the night with some elves that kept on heaping hay on him till he made an empty threat to set the room on fire. He also had terrible dreams where he felt like he was being buried alive.

Which word is closest in meaning to "reception" as it is used in the passage?
1. celebration
O 2. meeting
O 3. performance
O 4. sale

Answers

Answer:

1. Celebration

Explanation:

By using inferencing skills, it says that " A reception will be held on April 25 for all of the members of the cast and crew." and " The school paper  heralded the play as a "huge success." Since it doesn't involve a serious meeting or sale, we can eliminate those. As for performance, for who? They don't describe or give a hint on who the performance is for. By process of elimination, the answer is 1.

Answers

Answer:

The challenge faced by Katniss was finding the food and having enough of it to eat.

Katniss learned hunting skills from her father and was able to overcome her challenge through her skills.

Katniss's choice of fighting for her district tells about the human spirit that every human has the ability to fight during oppressed times.

Explanation:

The Hunger Games is a series of three novels written by Suzzane Collins. The novel shares about a dystopian society where a city is divided into various districts and every district have to fight with each other to survive.

In chapter 1 and 2 of the Hunger Games, we see that Katniss and her family are faced with a challenge to have enough food to eat. They find it difficult to find food.

Katniss learned hunting skills from her father, who was also a hunter. The hunting skills helped her to overcome the challenge of lack of food in her district. Katniss is a brave girl and a good hunter.

Katniss choose to hunt for her district and help them survive. This choice helps us to understand that we all humans have the ability to face the oppression.

Explanation:

In the passage, it is said that "He drank only a few sips before he set it down and forgot it."

Answer:

The answer is A. The popsicle was accidentally invented by a young boy who left his drink out in the cold with a stick in it

Explanation:

A shows keywords and explains the basically explains the story

The stories main purpose was to write about how the popsicle was invented accidentaly. And A. has that special keyword Accidentally.

As for why the other 3 are incorrect.

Both B. and D. are silly answers that should never be chosen due to the fact that they have nothing to do with the story. Some may put C as it says that the young boy invented the popsicle. The only thing keeping this answer form being correct is the fact that is says through trial and error. Trial and Error means: the process of experimenting with various methods of doing something until one finds the most successful. Which is not true at all, he did it by accident not by many failed attempts. The creation wasn't planned it was accidental not done purposely.

The American Romantics v. the American Realists

There are many strong examples of the effect that history has had upon culture, and 19th-century America ranks high on that list.

At the beginning of the 1800s, the new country began to explore its vast resources. In 1803, the Louisiana Purchase added almost 830,000 square miles, nearly doubling the size of the United States. This launched a period known as the Westward Expansion as pioneers moved into new territories. By 1870, what we now refer to as the continental United States was largely settled (barring the Great Plains). It was a time of great promise and optimism. This was echoed in the works of American Romanticism and Transcendentalism. These movements include writers such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Oliver Wendall Holmes, Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, and Emily Dickinson.
