Which statement best describes how the narrator
responds to the conflict?
It was close and dry and dusty in the house of the gods. I
have said the magic was gone but that is not true-it had
gone from the magic things but it had not gone from the
place. I felt the spirits about me, weighing upon me. Nor
had I ever slept in a Dead Place before-and yet, tonight,
I must sleep there. When I thought of it, my tongue felt
dry in my throat, in spite of my wish for knowledge.
Almost I would have gone down again and faced the dogs,
but I did not.
I had not gone through all the rooms when the darkness
fell. When it fell, I went back to the big room looking over
the city and made fire. There was a place to make fire and
a box with wood in it, though I do not think they cooked
there. I wrapped myself in a floor-covering and slept in
front of the fire-I was very tired.

In Mrs. Alvarez's communication class, each student created a personal Johari Window. In Allison's window the largest window pane was in the upper-left. Based on how the Johari Window is constructed, which of the following is/are probably true about Allison? Select all that apply. Allison's open self is dominant. Allison is likely a shy person. Allison tends to ask for feedback. Allison tends to avoid self-disclosure.

Answers

Answer:

Allison's open self is dominant.

Explanation:

The upper-left quadrant of the Johari Window corresponds to those qualities are both known to oneself, and that are also known to others.

This means that Allison is quite open to herself, and to others, since most of her qualities are known to everyone.

She is likely an extrovert, has many friends, and is outgoing and friendly. And perhaps, a bit dominant too.

the unwinnable war

violence

Answers

Answer:

What Lincoln wishes to do through this final sentence of the speech is:

C. stir up emotions about the lives lost in the war and encourage the listener to help end it.

Explanation:

President Abraham Lincoln does NOT wish his listeners to feel sad or angry. Nor does he want them to blame anyone. That's why he says, "With malice toward none, with charity for all." He then moves on to ask his audience to help take care of the families of the soldiers who have bravely lost their lives in the war. Besides that, he wants to "achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace," meaning he wants the war to end and peace to reign. Lincoln is stirring up emotions in his audience, but not inflamed, hostile emotions. He wishes to inspire them to be good, charitable, empathetic. He wants them to worry about a peaceful future instead of worrying about blame. He wishes to urge them to fight for peace in honor of those who have died for it.

C. Stir up emotions about the lives lost in the war and encourage the listener to help end it

Answers

a word or phrase used in a non-literal sense for rhetorical or vivid effect :)

A figure of speech is words used in a way that is not literally true. Thus, the correct option is "words used in a way that is not literally true".

A term or phrase that deliberately deviates from standard language use in order to achieve a particular rhetorical impact is known as a figure of speech or a rhetorical figure.

A figure of speech is a term meant to impress your reader or audience. Exaggerations, constructs, linkages, parallels, and contrasts are all part of it. It also paints a much clearer image of what you're attempting to communicate.

Figures of speech are not intended to offer actual information, hence they should not be used in professional presentations or publications such as essays.

Therefore, the correct option is "words used in a way that is not literally true".

Which part of this excerpt uses inference to help explain the meaning of the word humid?
Greenhouses
A greenhouse is a glass building used especially for growing plants. A greenhouse works well at growing healthy plants because the
environmental conditions inside it can be controlled. The glass house absorbs heat from the sun. Thus, the inside of the greenhouse is warm
and humid. The moisture makes the soil damp and steamy. These conditions are ideal for growing plants. The warm temperature inside the
greenhouse helps to grow fresh plants and flowers even during winter. The greenhouse gases created in the warm glass building help to feed
the plants. The steamy atmosphere inside the greenhouse may even help grow tropical plants and fruits. Many people use greenhouses
because they love gardening. However, a number of people use them to grow fresh herbs and vegetables that they can later sell at farmers'
markets or local grocery stores. Having a greenhouse is a great idea, since it can be enjoyed as a hobby all year.

Both sentences are similes, phrases that compare a concept to something similar, but each one compares the object differently.

1. Zoomorphism is the literary device where the author gives animal-like qualities to a human being, in this case, comparing the action of the man to what a bird of prey would do from a high perch.

2. Anthropomorphism is the literary device that attributes human qualities to an animal, plant, or object, in this case, comparing how shriveled the plants were to the people's misery.

Answers

Answer:

The sentence that uses the word "whereas"incorrectly is B. No one knew the whereas of the little  dog, who suddenly disappeared.

Explanation:

The word "whereas" is used to compare or contrast with a truth or fact. It is correctly used in option A and C where it is used to compare/contrast.

The correct word to be used in option B would be whereabouts since they did not know where the dog is. Using whereas when looking for the dog does not show any comparison or contrast.

Whereabouts is used to show where something is.

Machiavelli effectively argues that new princes must be cruel and cautious in order to protect their new kingdoms. This argument is from the story "The Prince".

Italian diplomat, author, philosopher, and historian Niccol di Bernardo dei Machiavelli lived during the Renaissance. His most famous work, The Prince, a dissertation on politics, was composed around 1513 but wasn't released until 1532, five years after his passing.

He is frequently referred to as the founder of contemporary political science and philosophy. He held a top position with responsibility for military and diplomatic matters in the Florentine Republic for many years. He produced comedies, music for carnivals, and poems. He asserted that his knowledge of history and experience had convinced him that politics has always been a game of deceit, treachery, and crime.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is "How could you have the heart to put your own child out  among strangers ?"

Explanation:

That phrase is the one that best supports the theme that society can put mothers in impossible situations, even something as extreme as leaving their own children among strangers.

The phrase says "How could you have the heart" establishing that this mother, as well as the other mothers in society are judged and labeled heartless for doing things like this.

When the situation becomes impossible, and a mother has to move forward even for the well-being of her child, she must do "disheartened" things because it is the only alternative she has. If society did not make this so impossible, perhaps the ways of acting would be different.

Read the following excerpt from the article "Vision, Voice and the Power of Creation: An Author Speaks Out," by T. A. Barron and answer the question that follows:

Right now, I am spending a lot of time listening to the voice of a particularly compelling character: the young Merlin. In the end, I finally heard the voice of Merlin thanks to a surprising source: the haunting, mysterious hooting of a great horned owl outside the window of my Colorado home. As I listened to that owl's resonant [echoing] call in the pre-dawn hours one morning, something about it gave me a whole new cadence [rhythm], a whole new sound. And then, a whole new voice.

In this paragraph, what is the author's explicit message about his inspiration for Merlin's voice?

He had difficulty finding Merlin's voice.
His inspiration was the owl outside his window.
His old ideas were not working for Merlin's voice.
He spent a lot of time thinking about Merlin's voice.

Answers

Answer:

Option 2) His inspiration was the owl outside the window

Explanation:

" If you look at the excerpt you've been given, he spends the majority of it discussing how he "heard the voice of Merlin from a surprising source." Continuing to read, you see that he heard this through the hooting of the owl outside his window."
