O D. He was so tall, he was at eye level with the town's rooftops.

Answers

Answer: B. The furious train raced along the track, determined as ever.

Explanation:

Personification is a literary device that assigns non human things human characteristics. Fury is a human emotion that trains, a non-human thing, cannot have, which is why it is personification.

Answer:

B. The furious train raced along the track, determined as ever.

Explanation:

The other options are either true observations or exaggerated comparisons

And seeing as trains are not subject to emotions (fury and determination), B is the best fit.

World?…And how are all things made for man?—

KEPLER (quoted in The Anatomy of Melancholy)


BOOK ONE: THE COMING OF THE MARTIANS

CHAPTER ONE: THE EVE OF THE WAR, excerpt


No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency men went to and fro over this globe about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter. It is possible that the infusoria under the microscope do the same. No one gave a thought to the older worlds of space as sources of human danger, or thought of them only to dismiss the idea of life upon them as impossible or improbable. It is curious to recall some of the mental habits of those departed days. At most terrestrial men fancied there might be other men upon Mars, perhaps inferior to themselves and ready to welcome a missionary enterprise. Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us. And early in the twentieth century came the great disillusionment.


Yet so vain is man, and so blinded by his vanity, that no writer, up to the very end of the nineteenth century, expressed any idea that intelligent life might have developed there far, or indeed at all, beyond its earthly level. Nor was it generally understood that since Mars is older than our earth, with scarcely a quarter of the superficial area and remoter from the sun, it necessarily follows that it is not only more distant from time's beginning but nearer its end.


The secular cooling that must someday overtake our planet has already gone far indeed with our neighbour. Its physical condition is still largely a mystery, but we know now that even in its equatorial region the midday temperature barely approaches that of our coldest winter. Its air is much more attenuated than ours, its oceans have shrunk until they cover but a third of its surface, and as its slow seasons change huge snowcaps gather and melt about either pole and periodically inundate its temperate zones. That last stage of exhaustion, which to us is still incredibly remote, has become a present-day problem for the inhabitants of Mars. The immediate pressure of necessity has brightened their intellects, enlarged their powers, and hardened their hearts. And looking across space with instruments, and intelligences such as we have scarcely dreamed of, they see, at its nearest distance only 35,000,000 of miles sunward of them, a morning star of hope, our own warmer planet, green with vegetation and grey with water, with a cloudy atmosphere eloquent of fertility, with glimpses through its drifting cloud wisps of broad stretches of populous country and narrow, navy-crowded seas.


And we men, the creatures who inhabit this earth, must be to them at least as alien and lowly as are the monkeys and lemurs to us. The intellectual side of man already admits that life is an incessant struggle for existence, and it would seem that this too is the belief of the minds upon Mars. Their world is far gone in its cooling and this world is still crowded with life, but crowded only with what they regard as inferior animals. To carry warfare sunward is, indeed, their only escape from the destruction that, generation after generation, creeps upon them.


What key idea does the text below suggest?


The immediate pressure of necessity has brightened their intellects, enlarged their powers, and hardened their hearts.


As their situation grew worse, their course became clear and they lost any compassion.

The growing doom consumed all their power to confront it.

Their immediate needs made them more intelligent than they had been before.

Their intelligence gave them less compassion than less intelligent others.

One writer argues that it may be helpful for preteens to gain experience in the world of social media, in order that they learn how to use it appropriately as teenagers and adults. The other writer argues that social media is fraught with dangers, and could have detrimental effects on young users. Both writers present strong arguments and support their claims with sound reasoning and convincing evidence. Which argument do you feel is more persuasive?

Answer:

"Can make it difficult for adolescents to form deeper relationships." "Most social media websites make it easy to use pictures instead of words to convey information" so I think superficial means something that is in a bad way, possibly judgement.  Superficial actually means existing or occurring at or on the surface. For example,  If you're judging a book by its cover, you're being superficial. People who worry too much about their clothes and hair may also be considered superficial. The word superficial has to do with appearances and the surface.

Answer:

1. Theater critics denigrate her acting  ability.- C. To say unfair comments.

4. Her patriotism was so heartfelt that  she quit her job to serve the  community.- B. Love for one's country.

5. Gun control is likely to be a  contentious subject in any group  discussion.- A. Likely to cause disagreement.

Explanation:

The definition of the words in the sentences in Column A are matched with those in Column B as follows-

1. Theater critics denigrate her acting ability.- C. To say unfair comments.

The word "denigrate" means saying something bad or comment in a negative way about someone or something.

2. The haughty waiter smirked when I talked to him.- E Blatantly and disdainfully proud.

The term "smirked" is an expression that is rude, to have a smug expression about something.

3. My friend plans to go to some outlandish place to look for buried treasures.- D. Very strange or unusual.

"Outlandish" means strange, unfamiliar, bizarre, weird.

4. Her patriotism was so heartfelt that she quit her job to serve the community.- B. Love for one's country.

Being "patriotic" means having a strong love for one's country.

5. Gun control is likely to be a contentious subject in any group discussion.- A. Likely to cause disagreement.

The term "contentious" means something that is argumentative, something prone to arguments, leading to debates or controversies.

What are these numbers least to greatest ??!!! 8th grade math !! In this speech Roosevelt termed, for the first time, journalists as muckrakers.SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 1906In Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress you may recall the description of the Man with the Muck-rake, the man who could look no way but downward, with the muck-rake in his hand; who was offered a celestial crown for his muck-rake, but who would neither look up nor regard the crown he was offered, but continued to rake to himself the filth of the floor.In Pilgrim's Progress the Man with the Muck-rake is set forth as the example of him whose vision is fixed on carnal instead of on spiritual things. Yet he also typifies the man who in this life consistently refuses to see aught that is lofty, and fixes his eyes with solemn intentness only on that which is vile and debasing. Now, it is very necessary that we should not flinch from seeing what is vile and debasing. There is filth on the floor and it must be scraped up with the muck-rake; and there are times and places where this service is the most needed of all the services that can be performed. But the man who never does anything else, who never thinks or speaks or writes, save of his feats with the muck-rake, speedily becomes, not a help to society, not an incitement to good, but one of the most potent forces for evil.There are, in the body politic, economic and social, many and grave evils, and there is urgent necessity for the sternest war upon them. There should be relentless exposure of and attack upon every evil man whether politician or business man, every evil practice, whether in politics, in business, or in social life. I hail as a benefactor every writer or speaker, every man who, on the platform, or in book, magazine, or newspaper, with merciless severity makes such attack, provided always that he in his turn remembers that the attack is of use only if it is absolutely truthful. . . To assail the great and admitted evils of our political and industrial life with such crude and sweeping generalizations as to include decent men in the general condemnation means the searing of the public conscience. There results a general attitude either of cynical belief in and indifference to public corruption or else of a distrustful inability to discriminate between the good and the bad. Either attitude is fraught with untold damage to the country as a whole. The fool who has not sense to discriminate between what is good and what is bad is well-nigh as dangerous as the man who does discriminate and yet chooses the bad. There is nothing more distressing to every good patriot, to every good American, than the hard, scoffing spirit which treats the allegation of dishonesty in a public man as a cause for laughter. Such laughter is worse than the crackling of thorns under a pot, for it denotes not merely the vacant mind, but the heart in which high emotions have been choked before they could grow to fruition.What was Roosevelt warning against in these sentences? I hail as a benefactor every writer or speaker, every man who, on the platform, or in book, magazine, or newspaper, with merciless severity makes such attack, provided always that he in his turn remembers that the attack is of use only if it is absolutely truthful. . . Falsely accusing people of evil practices Writing too passionately on certain topics Telling the truth will lead to retaliation Forgetting that journalism is very powerful
