Analyze Thurber is known for his humor and wit. How does he convey
humor in this story? Cite details from the text to support your response
Answer:
Thurber conveyed humor in this story by making weird interpretations of the characters in the story. The next morning when Thurber met the American woman, he said, "The reason Duncan resembled Lady Macbeth's father as he slept is that it actually was her father!” “Good God!" breathed my companion softly. In this statement, Thurber attributed the death of the King to Lady Macbeth's father who appeared once in the story and this surprised the American woman.
Explanation:
Thurber used humor in this story, a skill employed by writers to make the story fun and evoke laughter by giving unusual interpretation of events in the story. When the American woman was suspecting Macduff as the person who killed the King, Thurber came with an entirely different interpretation the next morning stating that it was Lady Macbeth's father who made just one appearance in the story that killed the King.
When the woman asked him who he suspected since he was going to buy Hamlet, he said "Everybody". These were funny and weird behaviors of Thurber.

Can someone please write me a introduction on why single sex education good.
With these texts
Source 1: Single-sex Education: The Pros and Cons
By Kristin Stanberry
Single-sex education (teaching boys and girls in separate classrooms or schools) is an old approach that’s gaining new momentum. While single-sex education has long existed in many private schools, it’s a relatively new option for public schools. The National Association for Single-Sex Public Education estimates that approximately 400 public schools now offer some form of single-sex education. What is fueling this movement? And what are the risks and benefits of single-sex education?
A driving force in the single-sex education movement is recent research showing natural differences in how males and females learn. Putting this research into practice, however, has triggered a debate that extends beyond pure academics. Political, civil rights, socioeconomic and legal concerns also come into play.
Before weighing the pros and cons of single-sex education, consider the influences of “nature versus nurture.” Many factors affect each child’s learning profile and preferences:
Some factors relate to the child’s nature, such as gender, temperament, abilities (and disabilities), and intelligence.
Other influences stem from the way parents and society nurture the child: Family upbringing, socioeconomic status, culture and stereotypes all fall under the “nurture” category.
Some parents don’t want their children to be in mixed-gender classrooms because, especially at certain ages, students of the opposite sex can be a distraction.
Leonard Sax, founder of the National Association for Single-Sex Public Education, and others agree that merely placing boys in separate classrooms from girls accomplishes little. But single-sex education enhances student success when teachers use techniques geared toward the gender of their students.
Some research and reports from educators suggest that single-sex education can broaden the educational prospects for both girls and boys. Advocates claim co-ed schools tend to reinforce gender stereotypes, while single-sex schools can break down gender stereotypes. For example, girls are free of the pressure to compete with boys in male-dominated subjects such as math and science. Boys, on the other hand, can more easily pursue traditionally “feminine” interests such as music and poetry. One mother, whose daughter has attended a girls-only school for three years, shared her experience on the GreatSchools parent community: “I feel that the single gender environment has given her a level of confidence and informed interest in math and science that she may not have had otherwise.”
The fact remains that there are relatively few single-sex schools in our nation’s public education system, and where they do exist, they are offered as an option rather than a requirement. If the single-sex education movement continues, you may find yourself in a position to vote for or against it in your own community.
Excerpt from “Single-sex education: the pros and cons” by Kristin Stanberry, from Greatschools.org.
Answer:
Single-sex Education is the term used to describe schools that separate students based on their gender. This type of education was common around the world in the middle of the 18th and 19th centuries, but it is maintained in some countries for cultural or religious reasons.

What does this interaction reveal about Antony? Select
two options.
Antony is incredibly loyal to Lepidus.
He values the efforts of Lepidus and will reward him.
His opinion of the conspirators has changed, and he
now agrees with their cause.
Antony uses people to get what he wants and then
dismisses them.
Antony is not as trustworthy as he seemed in the
speech at Caesar's funeral.
Answer: Antony uses people to get what he wants and then dismisses them.
Antony is not as trustworthy as he seemed in the speech at Caesar's funeral.
Explanation:
Here's the missing interaction:
ANTONY. This is a slight, unmeritable man,
Meet to be sent on errands. Is it fit,
The three-fold world divided, he should stand
One of the three to share it?
OCTAVIUS. So you thought him,
And took his voice who should be pr.icked to die,
In our black sentence and proscription.
ANTONY. Octavius, I have seen more days than you.
And though we lay these honors on this man.
To ease ourselves of divers sland'rous loads,
He shall but bear them as the a.ss bears gold,
To groan and sweat under the business,
Either led or driven as we point the way;
And having brought our treasure where we will,
Then take we down his load, and turn him off,
Like to the empty a.ss, to shake his ears and graze in commons.
The interaction revealed that "Antony uses people to get what he wants and then dismisses them" and that "Antony is not as trustworthy as he seemed in the speech at Caesar's funeral".
From the story, we can deduce that Anthony only wanted to use Lepidus after which he'll later be dumped. Anthony questioned his ability to rule.
Answer:
D. Antony uses people to get what he wants and then dismisses them.
E. Antony is not as trustworthy as he seemed in the speech at Caesar’s funeral.

7. Kelly has not used the most appropriate word in sentence 17. Which word best
replaces changes ?
varies
shifts
o
controls
0
decreases
CLEAR ALL
Answer: Decreases
Explanation:
This is based on the Kelly call to action essay. In sentence 17, it was not enough that Kelly used ''changes'' to show that the quantity was changing, it would have been better if Kelly showed just how it was changing.
As the quantity was reducing it would be best to use ''decreases'' to show that the type of change that was going on was one that saw the quantity decrease.
O'Brien writes that what he remembers of Curt Lemon's death is Jensen's song. Why do you
think this is the case? What is the significance of this memory?
Answer:
O'Brien remembers Jensen's song concerning the death of Curt Lemon. It is because it helped him to cope with the death of his friend. The memory of Curt Lemon's death is significant as it keeps O'Brien awake.
Explanation:
"The Things They Carried" is a historical fiction written by Tim O'Brien. The story tells the effects of war on the lives of soldiers, centralizing on the Vietnam war, fought by the author.
In "How To Tell a True War Story," O'Brien writes about the death of his friend, Curt Lemon. He beautifies the scene of Lemon's death by connecting it with the sunlight that sucked him up on the tree. O'Brien writes that he remembers Jensen's song concerning the death of Curt Lemon because it wakes him up, giving him horrible visions. The memory of Lemon's death is significant as it describes the effects that deaths have on soldiers. Also, it is significant as it keeps O'Brien awake.

Read the passage. Once you have read the story, explain what episodes show the resolution of the story. Explain your answer in one or two sentences.
Laurel woke up to the sound of her banging alarm. She was startled, but excited to start her first day of middle school. Her outfit was ready, and her lunch was packed. She even bought new pens and notebooks for the new school year.
As she sat on the bus in her new clothes, she started to feel nervous. What if she didn’t like her teachers? What if middle school was too hard? What if she didn’t have anyone to sit with at lunch? Laurel could feel her stomach churning with fear. Then at the next stop, her best friend, Norma, got on the bus. As Norma sat right next to her, Laurel knew everything would be okay as long as she had her best friend.
Explanation:
The resolution of this story is; Laurel calming down due to her friends appearance.
The story begins with Laurel getting ready and prepared for school. (Sort of like a prologue) A prologue explains the setting and idea of the story, it could also introduce the main character who is Laurel. Then comes the "climax". The climax is the highest point in the story, it mainly leads to the resolution. Laurel sat on the bus and began worrying, would her teachers like her? Who would she sit with at lunch? Then we revisit the resolution, "As Norma sat right next to her, Laurel knew everything would be okay".
