'Stranger,' he grumbled back from his brutal heart, 'you must be a fool, stranger, or come from nowhere, telling me to fear the gods or avoid their wrath!

D. The gods must be given proper respect and honor.
Answer:
D. The gods must be given proper respect and honor.

According to the excerpt, Cyclops was furious with King Odyssey because he told him to fear the gods or avoid their wrath.
Cyclops believe they are stronger than the gods, "We Cyclops never blink at Zeus and Zeus's shield of storm and thunder, or any other blessed god we've got more force by far" and does not respect the gods or honor them because he(Cyclops) believes they are far superior.

Which of the following pronouns can take either a
singular or a plural verb?
A) Anyone
B) Nobody
C) Several
D) Some
Answer:
The pronoun that can take either a singular or a plural verb is:
D) some.
Explanation:
The other pronouns are specific in their number. "Anyone" and "nobody" demand a singular verb, while "several" always accompanies a plural noun, needing a plural verb:
- Anyone knows how to make a cake from scratch?
- Nobody likes to be left alone.
- Several men are marching up the street.
On the other hand, "some" can accompany nouns that are either singular or plural. Therefore, the verb that follows can also be singular or plural:
- Some (of the books) are torn.
- Some (of the soup) has been eaten.
Therefore, our answer is letter D) some.

What do you think the quilts represent in the story? Considering this line and the title of the story, how do you think the phrase "everyday use" relates to the idea of heritage? Give examples from the text to support your answer.
This question refers to the story "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker.
In this story, two sisters fight over some quilts that they want to inherit. However, each one of them has a different opinion about what to do with the quilts. While Maggie believes the quilts should be used as everyday items, Dee believes they should be displayed as an example of artistic ability.
The quilts are meant to represent the heritage of the sisters, and the way they each understand how to deal with their heritage and their culture. The phrase "everyday use" references the way heritage should be understood. The author is trying to convey the idea that heritage is not something to be displayed for others. Instead, it is something that should be experienced every single day, and should impact most aspects of our life.
In the case of Dee, this is not the case. While Dee admires the quilts, she does not feel inclined to experience her culture every day. In fact, she rejects many aspects of it, such as her name and her family's way of living. On the other hand, Maggie experiences her culture every day and is much more appreciative of the everyday experiences of her family.
Answer:
In Alice Walker’s short story “Everyday Use,” the handmade quilts are a means of staying connected to the family’s past and their ancestors. Dee wants use the quilts to decorate her home like one would do with historical artifacts. The quilts would not be put to “everyday use” in Dee’s home. However, for Mama and Maggie, the quilts represent the family’s history, experiences, and struggles across various generations. The quilts, made by family members, are reminders of cherished memories. These quilts were made from pieces of clothes the family members wore in their everyday life. The mother believes these lovingly made quilts should be of “everyday use” as her ancestors intended. She wants to give them to her younger daughter, Maggie, whom she believes will cherish the quilts, unlike Dee. As she tells Dee:
"God knows I been saving 'em for long enough with nobody using 'em. I hope she will!"

prove that
cos^2(pi/2_thita/4)_sin^2(pi/4_thita/4)=sin thita/2
please help me..
Answer:
See below.
Explanation:
Using the identity sin^2x - sin^2x = cos 2x
cos^2( π/4 - Ф/4) - sin^2(π/4 - Ф/4) = cos 2(π/4 - Ф/4)
= cos(π/2 - Ф/2)
Now cos(π/2 - Ф/2) = cosπ/2 cos Ф/2 + sin π/2 sin Ф/2
But cos π/2 = 0 and sin π/2 = 1 so
cos(π/2 - Ф/2) = 0 * cos Ф/2 + 1 * sin Ф/2
= sin Ф/2.

PLS HELP 60 POINTS!!!!!! 4. Write a paragraph interpreting the meaning of the passage taken from Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Letter from a Birmingham Jail”: (Your response should be at least 100 words in length please.) “In any nonviolent campaign there are four basic steps: collection of the facts to determine whether injustices exist; negotiation; self-purification; and direct action. We have gone through all these steps in Birmingham. There can be no gainsaying the fact that racial injustice engulfs this community. Birmingham is probably the most thoroughly segregated city in the United States. Its ugly record of brutality is widely known. Negroes have experienced grossly unjust treatment in the courts. There have been more unsolved bombings of Negro homes and churches in Birmingham than in any other city in the nation. These are the hard, brutal facts of the case. On the basis of these conditions, Negro leaders sought to negotiate with the city fathers. But the latter consistently refused to engage in good faith negotiation” (King, 1963, para. 6).
Answer:
Considering the context of its creation, the “Letter from Birmingham Jail” is remarkably restrained in tone. Throughout his career, many critics of Dr. King argued that he was too deferential to the white authorities that facilitated segregation and other racist policies, but the tone here seems to serve several purposes. First, it conforms to his ultimate purpose of justifying his cause as being in the name of justice. He does not wish to validate his audience’s deep-seeded fears - that the black movement is an extremist set that will engender violence. Therefore, by utilizing restraint, he earns a sympathetic ear to which he then declares his proud embrace of extremism and tension. His difficult arguments end up practically unimpeachable precisely because he has presented them through logos as well as through pathos. However, the restraint also allows him to reinforce one of the letter’s central themes, the interconnectedness of man. There are times when he distinguishes himself and his cause from that of his opponents, particularly in terms of race. However, he for the most part suggests that all men are responsible for all others, an idea that would not be as effective if the tone of the argument was too fiery and confrontational.
Hope that helps you out!

The answer is a fact about seat belts preventing injuries in car accidents

"Every driver should wear a seat belt” The answer is a fact about seat belts preventing injuries in car accidents.
What message is given by this image?Regarding the meaning and message of the picture, a fact about seat belts preventing injuries in car accidents should be added inasmuch as factual information would lead people to believe deeply in seat belts as accessories that can indeed save people's lives and decrease the percentage of injuries in traffic accidents, instead of an animation that would tell the people something obvious to do or a paragraph that might get few views depending on the lenght of it.

Read the passage from Animal Farm. It had come to his knowledge, he said, that a foolish and wicked rumour had been circulated at the time of Boxer's removal. Some of the animals had noticed that the van which took Boxer away was marked "Horse Slaughterer," and had actually jumped to the conclusion that Boxer was being sent to the knacker's. It was almost unbelievable, said Squealer, that any animal could be so stupid. Surely, he cried indignantly, whisking his tail and skipping from side to side, surely they knew their beloved Leader, Comrade Napoleon, better than that? But the explanation was really very simple. The van had previously been the property of the knacker, and had been bought by the veterinary surgeon, who had not yet painted the old name out. That was how the mistake had arisen. Which statement best expresses the theme of the passage? Workers need to organize for better health care. Dictatorships use lies to manipulate the populace. Sometimes, you cannot trust what you see with your own eyes. Relying on others is the only way to get through difficult times.
Answer:
Dictatorships use lies to manipulate the populace.Explanation:
This quote, which comes after Boxer is sent to slaughter, is basically Squealer coming with lies to get away with what the pigs have done. This is an allegory for the propaganda that Russia put out when they killed someone that said things to the contrary of what they really did.
I'm always happy to help :)Dictatorships use lies to manipulate the populace is the statement best expresses the theme of the passage. Hence, option B is correct.
What is Dictatorships?A dictatorship is a system of government that is defined by a leader or group of leaders who hold significant amounts of unchecked power. A dictator is the person in charge of a dictatorship.
A dictatorship is a system of government in which a person or group has unrestricted authority, which is not based on historic legitimacy but rather on a constitution or other regulations.
The suspension of elections and civil liberties, the declaration of a state of emergency, the imposition of rule by decree, the repression of political opponents, the disregard for legal procedures, and the presence of a cult of personality centered on the ruler are some of the characteristics of dictatorships.
Thus, option B is correct.
