The options given are:

A. to show how threatening travel through Chiapas is

B. to show that few people are able to live in Chiapas

C. to show how many dishonest people live in Chiapas

D. to show that Chiapas has the most immigration checkpoints

Answer:

A. to show how threatening travel through Chiapas is

Explanation:

The metaphor used in the excerpt shows how threatening travel through Chiapas is. Referring to Chiapas as "the beast" shows that Chiapas is somewhat a dangerous and unsafe place.

Enrique's Journey, Enrique learnt a lot about Chiapas. He learnt that bandits rob, police try to shake him down, and there are street gangs might even kill.

These shows how threatening Chiapas is.

"Enrique's Journey: The Story of a Boy's Dangerous Odyssey to Reunite with his Mother" is a story by Sonia Nazario. It tells the story of a 17-year-old boy who hails from Honduras and takes his journey to the United States to find his mother.

Reread Sonnet 30 by William Shakespeare. How does the speaker behave and feel in the poem before he thinks of his “dear friend”? How does the thought of his “dear friend” change his attitude? Why is the shift that occurs in the speaker’s thoughts viewed as a tribute to his “dear friend”? Cite specific examples from the text in your response.

Answers

Answer: 1. He feels and behaves depressed and regretful about his past actions and thoughts. 2. The thought of his "dear friend" compensates his losses and his sorrow ends. 3. Because by changing his tone he makes emphasis the fact that his "dear friend" was indeed the light of his life.

Explanation: Shakespeare conveys a very sad and depressing message in the sonnet, regretting how he failed to achieve his goals, wasted the best years of his life, and crying over the loss of his friends. We can see this in the following lines: "I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought, then can I drown an eye, and with old woes new wail my dear time's waste.

Nevertheless, in the lines "But if the while I think on thee, dear friend, All losses are restor'd and sorrows end", he acknowledges his "dear friend", and the sonnet makes a twist. He emphasizes that thinking of this person relieves all his guilt and pain, making then, a tribute to them.

Answer:

Normally, he goes clean-shaven into the world, but the promise of a Saturday

liquid with sunshine draws him first from his study to the backyard, from there to his

front lawn. The smell of burning leaves stirs the memories of childhood car

rides, narrow lanes adrift with yellow leaves, girls on plodding horses, unattended

stands piled high with pumpkins, onions, or beets so that each one was, in its own way,

a still life. Always, there were salmon tins glinting with silver, set above hand-painted

signs instructing purchasers to deposit twenty-five or fifty cents. This act of faith

containing all the stories he has read in childhood about the North – cabins left

unlocked, filled with supplies for hapless wayfarers – wakes in him a desire to

temporarily abandon the twice-cut yards and hundred-year-old oaks.

He does not hurry for he has no destination. He meanders, instead, through the neat

suburban labyrinth of cul-de-sacs, bays and circles, losing and finding himself endlessly.

Becoming lost is made all the easier because the houses repeat themselves with

superficial variations. There grows within him, however, a vague unease with

symmetry, with nothing left to chance, no ragged edges, no unkempt vacant lots, no

houses rendered unique by necessity and indifference.

Mrs. Pringle reads a note from Mr. Farnsworth. E. Elaine goes to call her father to

Answers

Answer:

B. Mrs. Pringle reminds Elaine that she always thought highly of Mr. Farnsworth.

Explanation:

The falling action in a story or any play is the event after the climax and resolution of the story but before the end of the story. It happens before the very end of the story but also after the resolution of the main conflict of the story.

In the society comedy Fourteen, Alice Gerstenberg presents a woman who is adamant about presenting herself as the most generous and entertaining hostess in society. And in her plan to impress a young wealthy gentleman for her daughter's hand, she tried so hard to make the dinner party perfect. But despite the cancellation from the invited parties, she tried to invite people on an impulse which ended with the Prince of Wales being one of the guests to turn up for the dinner party. Thus, the resolution in the story is when the note was presented to her and she realized the Prince was in her house, waiting to be brought into the hall. And the falling action is when the host Mrs. Pringle reminds her daughter Elaine of how she had always thought highly of the wealthy gentleman Mr. Farnsworth.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.

The event from Alice Gerstenberg's Fourteen that belongs to the falling action stage of the plot structure is that "Mrs. Pringle reads a note from Mr. Farnsworth".

It should be noted that the falling action simply refers to the part of the story whereby the outcome of a particular story is revealed by the author.

The falling action stage is also vital a sit reflects how a particular conflict is being resolved.

In this case, the falling stage wasn't the fact that Mrs. Pringle reminds Elaine that she always thought highly of Mr. Farnsworth but it was when Mrs. Pringle reads a note from Mr. Farnsworth. This depicted the falling action.

In conclusion, the correct option is D.

What for of supporting material is he using?

Answers

Answer:

Testimony.

Explanation:

Testimony is defined as 'an account of first-hand experience or a solemn affirmation by a witness' which can be the best evidence or proof to substantiate a claim.

In the given speech, the statement made by Leeland exemplifies a 'testimony' which he employs to support his claim i.e. 'need to limit growth at State University.' It would be considered a testimony as it states a 'first-hand experience of a witness('Mary Sue Kaye, Dean of students') who states that there is a lack of availability of enough classes to be offered to students in most majors.' Since it is a first-hand experience by Dean herself, it can be rely upon easily, and therefore, it not only supports the speaker's point but also persuades the audience to believe it.

Answers

This question is missing the necessary excerpts to be answered. I've found them online:

Read this excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game," by Richard Connell.

In a cultivated voice marked by a slight accent that gave it added precision and deliberateness, he said: "It is a very great pleasure and honor to welcome Mr. Sanger Rainsford, the celebrated hunter, to my home."

Automatically Rainsford shook the man's hand.

"I've read your book about hunting snow leopards in Tibet, you see," explained the man. "I am General Zaroff."

Now read the second excerpt.

"The general's left eyelid fluttered down in a wink. "This island is called Ship-Trap," he answered. "Sometimes an angry god of the high seas sends them to me. Sometimes, when Providence is not so kind, I help Providence a bit. Come to the window with me."

Rainsford went to the window and looked out toward the sea.

"Watch! Out there!" exclaimed the general, pointing into the night. Rainsford's eyes saw only blackness, and then, as the general pressed a button, far out to sea Rainsford saw the flash of lights.

The general chuckled. "They indicate a channel," he said, "where there's none: giant rocks with razor edges crouch like a sea monster with wide-open jaws. They can crush a ship as easily as I crush this nut."

Answer:

Readers must revise their predictions about the general  after reading the second excerpt because initially he  seems to be a gracious host, but then it is revealed that  he has lured and trapped his guests.

Explanation:

General Zaroff, a character in Connell's short story "The Most Dangerous Game," is quite deceiving at first. Us readers, along with the main character, Rainsford, are led to believe that the general is a gracious host. When Rainsford swims to the shore of the general's island, he is politely welcomed. He is offered dinner and a place to spend the night.

However, it does not take Zaroff long to show his true colors. He is a hunter, and he knows Rainsford is a hunter as well, which leads him to confide in his guest his new hobby. Zaroff has been luring ships to sink close to his island in order to trap the sailors. General Zaroff has grown tired of killing beasts, and he is now hunting men. The gracious host is revealed to be a cold-blooded murderer.

A) Has lured and trapped his guests.

what is one theme of Emily Dickinson’s poem “Dying”?

Answers

Answer:

Emily Dickinson represents her realist views about death through her poem “Dying.” She uses an emotionless, matter-of-fact tone to describe the death of the speaker and its aftermath. She talks about the light, the final onset, and the king to express her spiritual beliefs. She explores the relationship between nature and human beings by describing the appearance and movements of a fly as the speaker lays dying. Death, according to Dickinson, is not always peaceful, and the movement of the fly represents the turbulence in the journey toward the end.

In William Shakespeare's tragedy Romeo and Juliet, Benvolio is a fictitious character. He is the nephew of Lord Montague and Romeo's cousin. In the play, Benvolio works as an ineffective peacemaker, hoping to avert conflict between the Capulet and Montague families.

The Montagues and Capulets despise one another. They despise each other so deeply that even their slaves despise each other. These servants are the direct cause of the conflict. When several Montague servants come out, Sampson and Gregory (Capulet servants) are going along.
