Section 1 "At least I have acceded to the importunities of my friends, and have hastily sketched some of the striking incidents that go to make up my history. My life, so full of romance, may sound like a dream to the matter-of-fact reader, nevertheless everything I have written is strictly true…" What is the meaning of the word as used in the sentence above 'striking"? * 5 points to remember dramatic;thrilling in effect make believe What other word or phrase in the above quote best helps in understanding the meaning of "striking"? * 4 points A. To make up my history B. So full of romance

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

to remember

To make up my history

Explanation:

The word "striking" means something remarkable, memorable and that had a strong impact in a given situation. The narrator of the text uses this word to refer to remarkable, impacting, minutable and significant moments that happened in his life, to the point of "making my story" as he says. The sentence "make my story" is what reinforces the meaning of "striking" within this context.

Yes, because the essay describes the Moffats as superior to Meg.
B
Yes, because the essay describes Meg's feelings of simplicity.
No, because the essay is about Meg's perception of herself.
D
No, because the essay states that the Moffats were kind to Meg.

Answers

Answer: No, because the essay is about Meg’s perception of herself.

Explanation:

Nowhere in the essay does it state any opinion or perception about Meg through the eyes of the Moffats. It’s more describing the evolution of Meg herself and how she starts to enjoy emulating the Moffats in ways (like dressing and mannerisms) and how she starts to feel about home.

Read this excerpt from "Wiley, His Mama, and the Hairy Man” in The People Could Fly

Well, when Wiley got himself home, safe, he told his mama that the Hairy Man had almost got him that time. Hairy Man would have, too, but that he pretended to pray and called his hounds instead and the hounds run the Hairy Man off.

"Did he have his sack?" his mama asked Wiley.

"Yesum," Wiley said.

"Next time he come after you, don't you climb some tree," said his mama.

What theme is suggested by this excerpt?

Refusing to fight solves problems.
It is better to hide from a problem than to face it directly.
Always stick to the first plan you make to solve a problem.
It is important to listen to others’ advice.

Answers

Answer:

The answer would be D. "It is important to listen to others' advice".

Explanation:

"Wiley, His Mama And The Hairy Man" tells the story of a boy, Wiley, who lived in a swamp with his mother. Hairy Man is a monster that lives in the swamp, and has probably eaten Wiley's father. The Hairy Man is now after Wiley, who needs his mother's help and advice to defeat the monster.

This excerpt is showing how Wiley followed his mother's advice and managed to escape The Hairy Man.

Answer:

D.  It is important to listen to others' advice.

Explanation:

Wiley's mama helps him defeat the Hairy Man 3 times and without her help he may never have completed the problem and the Hairy Man would not have disappeared.  Without listening to others the Hairy Man would still be out there.

The characters of "Wiley, His Mother, and the Hairy Man" must defeat the Hairy Man three times. Which theme is most likely suggested by this detail?

[Sitting down again.] A moment, Mr. Worthing. A hundred and thirty thousand pounds! And in the Funds! Miss Cardew seems to me a most attractive young lady, now that I look at her. Few girls of the present day have any really solid qualities, any of the qualities that last, and improve with time. We live, I regret to say, in an age of surfaces. [To Cecily.] Come over here, dear. [Cecily goes across.] Pretty child! your dress is sadly simple, and your hair seems almost as Nature might have left it. But we can soon alter all that. A thoroughly experienced French maid produces a really marvellous result in a very brief space of time. I remember recommending one to young Lady Lancing, and after three months her own husband did not know her.Jack. And after six months nobody knew her.Lady Bracknell. [Glares at Jack for a few moments. Then bends, with a practised smile, to Cecily.] Kindly turn round, sweet child. [Cecily turns completely round.] No, the side view is what I want. [Cecily presents her profile.] Yes, quite as I expected. There are distinct social possibilities in your profile. The two weak points in our age are its want of principle and its want of profile. The chin a little higher, dear. Style largely depends on the way the chin is worn. They are worn very high, just at present. Algernon!Algernon. Yes, Aunt Augusta!Lady Bracknell. There are distinct social possibilities in Miss Cardews profile.Algernon. Cecily is the sweetest, dearest, prettiest girl in the whole world. And I dont care twopence about social possibilities.Lady Bracknell. Never speak disrespectfully of Society, Algernon. Only people who cant get into it do that. [To Cecily.] Dear child, of course you know that Algernon has nothing but his debts to depend upon. But I do not approve of mercenary marriages. When I married Lord Bracknell I had no fortune of any kind. But I never dreamed for a moment of allowing that to stand in my way. Well, I suppose I must give my consent.Algernon. Thank you, Aunt Augusta.Lady Bracknell. Cecily, you may kiss me!Cecily. [Kisses her.] Thank you, Lady Bracknell.Lady Bracknell. You may also address me as Aunt Augusta for the future.Cecily. Thank you, Aunt Augusta.Lady Bracknell. The marriage, I think, had better take place quite soon.Algernon. Thank you, Aunt Augusta.Cecily. Thank you, Aunt Augusta.Lady Bracknell. To speak frankly, I am not in favour of long engagements. They give people the opportunity of finding out each others character before marriage, which I think is never advisable.Jack. I beg your pardon for interrupting you, Lady Bracknell, but this engagement is quite out of the question. I am Miss Cardews guardian, and she cannot marry without my consent until she comes of age. That consent I absolutely decline to give.Lady Bracknell. Upon what grounds may I ask? Algernon is an extremely, I may almost say an ostentatiously, eligible young man. He has nothing, but he looks everything. What more can one desire?Jack. It pains me very much to have to speak frankly to you, Lady Bracknell, about your nephew, but the fact is that I do not approve at all of his moral character. I suspect him of being untruthful. [Algernon and Cecily look at him in indignant amazement.]Lady Bracknell. Untruthful! My nephew Algernon? Impossible! He is an Oxonian.Jack. I fear there can be no possible doubt about the matter. This afternoon during my temporary absence in London on an important question of romance, he obtained admission to my house by means of the false pretense of being my brother. Under an assumed name he stayed to tea, and devoured every single muffin. And what makes his conduct all the more heartless is, that he was perfectly well aware from the first that I have no brother, that I never had a brother, and that I dont intend to have a brother, not even of any kind. I distinctly told him so myself yesterday afternoon.Lady Bracknell. Ahem! Mr. Worthing, after careful consideration I have decided entirely to overlook my nephews conduct to you.Jack. That is very generous of you, Lady Bracknell. My own decision, however, is unalterable. I decline to give my consent.Question 1Part AIn The Importance of Being Earnest, which type of character is Jack?staticdynamicroundflatQuestion 2Part BWhat is Jack's role in the play?
