Answer:
Short story ending with the statement "and finally the horror of viral attack was over".
Explanation:
It was the start of a new year which, everyone hoped will be a new and prosperous year. But contrary to their hopes and wishes, the year heralded a disastrous and rather dangerous outcome. A new virus has overtaken the whole world, engulfing the world in a pandemic and pushing back everyone to the four corners of their homes.
The Young family were unaware of the pandemic and were just enjoying their annual winter getaway to Australia. They had to return before the holiday ends but were relieved to get away before Australia was filled with new cases every day. Once home in London, they got themselves tested and decided to not venture out anywhere. The children were unhappy about the unfinished holiday but were more excited to know that they won't be going to school.
And in a short time, the whole world was under the pandemic, with every nation announcing their lock-down plans and prohibiting people to go out unless it's an emergency. Every day, news coverage presents the tally of nationwide infection, the rise in cases, and other nations getting more infections too. It seems as if the world is on a standstill, with hardly anyone to be seen out on the streets, and shops closed and everything seemed to stop.
As new cases and deaths were reported, people all over the world got accustomed to the safety measures, the need to sanitize often, and the necessity of wearing masks all became a norm. Instead of finding anything weird with it, it seems more like a normal thing to see people with masks on them and soon, it became a routine to be seen in masks and social distancing. And despite the cases not completely gone, the prevention of the spread seems to be contained to a certain extent. And after a year of the infection, life goes back to normal and people are seen out in the market and streets and life resumes. And with cases diminishing and no new cases found worldwide in more than a month, it seemed like the Young family could again get back to their normal life, like everyone else. Finally, the horror of the viral attack was over.

The most logical revision for Karishma to make to her prediction is that the narrator gives up his plan to murder the old man. comes back another night to murder the old man. continues with his plan to murder the old man. eventually admits his presence to the old man.
Read the first passage from "The Tell-Tale Heart” that Karishma read.
I had my head in, and was about to open the lantern, when my thumb slipped upon the tin fastening, and the old man sprang up in bed, crying out—"Who's there?"
After reading the passage, Karishma predicted that the narrator would get caught by the old man.
Now read the second passage that Karishma read.
I kept quite still and said nothing. For a whole hour I did not move a muscle, and in the meantime I did not hear him lie down. He was still sitting up in the bed listening;—just as I have done, night after night, hearkening to the death watches in the wall.
The most logical revision for Karishma to make to her prediction is that the narrator
A. gives up his plan to murder the old man.
B. comes back another night to murder the old man.
C. continues with his plan to murder the old man.
D. eventually admits his presence to the old man.
Answer:
C. continues with his plan to murder the old man.
Explanation:
According to the first excerpt, it was logical that based on the clues and events available, Kashima would assume that the narrator was going to be caught by the old man because the old man sighted him entering his room.
However, from the second excerpt which shows that although the old man woke up, the narrator did not make any noise to betray his presence, he did not leave the scene, neither did he change his mind and Kashima can conclude that the narrator will continue with his plan to murder the old man.
Answer: C

Match the fallacy with its name. Being tall, I am unable to ski well.
Answer:(PLS give me brainliest!!!)
1. The answer is A: Non-sequitur.
Non-sequitur is a literary device that has conclusions and statements that don't follow principles of logic and reason. (The fact of being tall is not a reason for not being able to ski.)
2. The answer is B: Ad Hominem.
Ad Hominem is a Latin word that means "agaisnt the man", this literary term (a logical fallacy) is used against an opponent, but it's not logical, because it attaks the person and not the argument. (Someone is accusing another for not supporting a cause.)

Explanation:
The first example is direct speech. So we can cross that off.
The second example used the wording choice of, "we" instead of "they." That wouldn't qualify as indirect speech either.
However, the last one used the correct wording and format.

George Washington, the first President of the United States, is often refereed to as the Founding Father of Our Country. He was born at "Wakefield," near Popes Creek, Westmoreland County, VA, on February 22, 1732. During his lifetime, Washington became known for his love of the land and farming, and many argue that he was perhaps the one indispensable man among the founders. It is hard to imagine any of the others commanding the respect needed to lead the Continental Army to victory over Great Britain, preside over the Constitutional Convention, and serve the United States as its first president. While still in his teens, Washington became a land surveyor, which gave him a solid grounding in mathematics and the evaluation of topography. This would later serve him well as a military commander. As a lieutenant colonel of the Virginia militia, Washington led a force into the Ohio Valley to contest French domination of that region. He was in command of the British forces at the Battle of Fort Necessity in the summer of 1754, the war that ended with the removal of French power from North America and set the stage for the American Revolution. Washington gained valuable military experience in that conflict. Inheriting Mt. Vernon, a family planation on the Potomac River, in 1761, Washington spent the next 15 years as a planter, also serving in the House of Burgesses the (the colonial legislature in Virginia). He took the patriot side in the disputes with Great Britain in the 1760s and 1770s, and he was elected to the first Continental Congress in 1774. With the coming of open war with Britain in 1775, the congress decided to make Washington commander in chief of the new Continental Army. Washington had as much military experience as anyone in the colonies, and his selection helped gain the allegiance of Virginia, by far the most populous of the 13 colonies. After accepting the British surrender at Yorktown in October 1781, Washington retired to Mt. Vernon to revive his plantation and financial position. His political career continued when he was elected to the Constitutional Convention in 1787 and reluctantly served as its presiding officer. Washington's support of the Constitution was critical in its acceptance by the states. He was a virtually unanimous choice for the nation's first president. Washington served two terms and could easily have gained a third had he wished to do so. Instead, he established the precedent of a two-term maximum. In the last years of his life, he was appointed as lieutenant general and commander of the United States Army again on July 3, 1798, and he served until his death on December 14, 1799. 4 Select the correct answer. What is the author's purpose in "George Washington"? A. to convince readers that George Washington played a significant role in the win against Great Britain B. to inform readers about George Washington's legacy as the first president of the United States C. to entertain readers with details about George Washington's personal life as a teenager and adult D. to teach readers about the qualities of good leadership based on examples set by George Washington

Authors use various narrative techniques to manipulate time in a work of fiction. Cite examples of how the narrator Influences Ume and pacing
within the story. What effect does the pacing have on how the reader Interprets the story?
games at twilight
Answer:
The pace of the story changes every time the mood of the children changes.
Explanation:
The pace of the story changes every time the mood of the children changes. A perfect example of this is at the beginning of the story. The first paragraphs are slightly lengthy and greatly detailed to show the mood of the current situation. Since all the kids are stuck indoor on a blistering hot day, the mood is dragged and allows the reader to understand the children's situation.
However, once mother permits the children to exit, the mood changes to a more exciting and thrilling tone. This is also when the story’s pace changes. Read the following line:
“The children, too, felt released. They too began tumbling, shoving, pushing against each other, frantic to start.”
This line allows the reader to relate to the characters and understand their emotions. Clearly, we read that the children are moving so fast they begin tumbling one another frantically.
Another good clue that represents a change in pace is when the kids share this interaction:
“Let’s play hide-and-seek.”
“Who’ll be It?”
“You be It.”
“Why should I? You be——”
“You’re the eldest——”
“That doesn’t mean——”
Here, it’s almost as if the children are moving at such a fast pace, they begin to speak over one another. It’s written in such a way that the reader almost feels like they’re a part of the story, experiencing the chaotic bickering between the children.
Answer:
The pacing of the story changes with the changing moods of the children. The story opens with the sense of oppression a group of children feel when they are forcibly kept inside the house. The pace is slow at this point. The pace changes when the children rush outside to play. It increases as the game of hide and seek closely replicates a hunting game. Raghu is like a wild animal hunting his prey.
When Ravi is hiding, the narrator doesn’t reveal exactly how much time has passed: “for minutes, hours, his legs began to tremble with the effort, the inaction.” As the suspense builds, the reader is eager to know the outcome. The pace builds and climaxes when the narrator describes Ravi’s plans for winning the game. The narrator gives us a glimpse of the myriad of thoughts streaming across his mind.
The pace comes to a grinding halt when Ravi realizes that no one cared where he was hiding, and he is not the winner of the game. The reader, who experienced the rush of the game as well as the sudden jolt of defeat, can sympathize with Ravi’s disappointment.

through the U.S. State Department?
On January 16, 1917, in a clear attempt to convince
the Mexican government to help Germany in the war,
Arthur Zimmermann, the German foreign secretary
sent a telegram to Count von Bemstorff, the German
ambassador in Washington. The foreign secretary
wanted to be certain that this message reached von

Department as a courtesy. The telegram sent,
Zimmermann waited for a reply. What Zimmermann
O The German U-boat was grounded because it
needed repairs
The Americans planned to enter the war and side
with the Germans
O The content of the message was extraordinarily
important
O The safest way of transmitting messages was by
telegram

D) ”The foreign secretary wanted to be certain that this message reached von Bernstorff”
E) “He made arrangements for it to be carried aboard a U-boat”

Not only does ED use seasons, but she also refers to various points in the part of the day/night. She uses summer, twilight, afternoon, dusk, morning, ...
I am not sure if you have ever grieved for someone or something, but you never really get over it. I do not think we as humans have the ability to get over something that comes to an end that we do not understand. Also, sometimes from dusk to twilight can seem like forever. If you cannot sleep, the night can seem to go on and on and on....speaking of an afternoon, this is usually a time that we are winding down our day and things like jobs and school are coming to an end. We long for the dusk to come and for nightfall to arrive. Time passes so quickly. She is saying that she was with her friend and it was good and time went tooooooo fast. If time had wings it would fly....if time were a keel - it could control all of that around it. A keel is the bottom or the thing that holds it all together. We know that summer escapes too quickly for us and our break is not long enough. Then comes the dreary winter - my favorite time of the year actually. The seasons come and go. Your life will go quickly. Kids grow up and are gone before you know it; grandparents are gone and we miss them dearly. Time flies.
Explanation:
Near the end of Act Two, Nora speaks the following words to Mrs. Linde: "Something glorious is going to happen." Contrary to what some people think, Nora is not going to kill herself; instead, she thinks that something else is going to happen. What is that glorious thing that she thinks is going to happen, and does it happen?
Answer and Explanation:
Nora and Mrs. Linde are characters in the play "A Doll's House". Nora is being blackmailed by Krogstad for having illegally taken a loan at the bank where her husband, Torvald, works.
Near the end of Act Two, Nora says that something glorious is going to happen. She is not talking - not even thinking - of killing herself in case her husband finds out. As a matter of fact, the glorious thing she is expecting is for her husband to take the blame for her and save her from this threat. Unfortunately, nothing of that sort happens. Nora's husband is a cruel, sexist man, who values himself above everyone else. Readers/viewers most likely saw that coming; it is Nora that was too naive, who failed to see him as the puppet master he truly is. When she realizes Torvald has no intention of protecting her, she finally opens her eyes to how rotten her marriage is. She can now see she is only his little doll, something for him to dress up and play with. This is what Nora needed to finally awaken.
Match each literary device with the reason authors use it. imagery symbolism alliteration oxymoron makes readers pause and think about the contradiction created with two opposing words arrowRight represents an abstract idea with a concrete object arrowRight calls attention to certain words and creates a rhythm with words arrow Right creates a clear picture in the reader’s mind arrow Right
Answer:
Imagery- creates a clear picture in the reader’s mind.
Symbolism- represents an abstract idea with a concrete object.
Alliteration- calls attention to certain words and creates a rhythm with words.
Oxymoron- makes readers pause and think about the contradiction created with two opposing words.
Explanation:
There are numerous literary devices that writers use in their works. Such literary devices or techniques allows them to perfectly present their ideas and proposed effects to the readers.
Imagery is the use of descriptive words to help readers paint a picture in their heads about what is talked about. This also allows the presentation of ideas in such a way that the readers can identify and even imagine the scenes of the story, giving it a perfect way of expression to the writer's words.
eg, He wore a white crisp shirt and bright red trousers.
Symbolism is the use of certain symbols to signify or represent ideas, themes, and purposes. It uses certain objects or even words to represent or stand for an abstract idea that the writer wants to convey rather than directly state it. It makes reading more interesting and fun.
eg, A dove is a symbol of peace.
Alliteration is the use of the same letters of a given word in quick succession or close quarters. This creates a form of rhythm to the words used, making certain words or phrases stand out and also provide a bit of musicality to the words/ work.
eg, The baby blue basket and bib make for a great combination of colors for the whole dreary scene.
An oxymoron is when two contrasting words are placed together in a given sentence. This rhetorical device is self-contradictory but provides a great impact or effect in the sentence.
eg, When we went to meet him, we never expect him to be seriously funny.
