Dear Editor.
My name is Tanvi and I decided to write this letter to report a serious situation that is happening in our community and I believe that in many others scattered in New Delhi. This situation is the constant attack on the elderly.
As we know, the elderly deserve respect and peace, since they work and worked hard to create the country in which we live. Many elderly people live alone for several reasons, mainly due to family abandonment, which is already a stressful situation for them who need to rest and have a peaceful life. The elderly, in general, are fragile and living alone leaves them extremely vulnerable, which allows evildoers to attack them.
Most of these malefactors want to steal something of value from the elderly, placing them in a situation of extreme stress and even acting with physical violence against them.
These attacks happen frequently in our region. For this reason, I would like to ask you to inform your audience about this problem, making them aware and allowing them to draw the attention of the authorities in relation to this.
I know that you will be helping the elderly in our community in the best possible way and I thank you for your time.
Sincerely.
J. Tanvi
From Metamorphosis by Franz Karka
(1)One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armour-like bed for back, and if he lifted his head a little
he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections. The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide of any moment. His many legs, pitifully
thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked.
(2)"What's happened to me?" he thought. It wasn't a dream. His room, a proper human room although a little too small, lay peacefully between its four familiar walls. A collection of textile
samples lay spread out on the table-Samsa was a travelling salesman-and above it there hung a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and housed in a nice, gilded
frame. It showed a lady fitted out with a fur hat and fur boa who sat upright, raising a heavy fur muff that covered the whole of her lower arm towards the viewer.
(3) Gregor then turned to look out the window at the dull weather. Drops of rain could be heard hitting the pane, which made him feel quite sad. "How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget
all this nonsense", he thought, but that was something he was unable to do because he was used to sleeping on his right, and in his present state couldn't get into that position. However hard he
threw himself onto his right, he always rolled back to where he was. He must have tried it a hundred times, shut his eyes so that he wouldn't have to look at the foundering legs, and only
stopped when he began to feel a mild, dull pain there that he had never felt before.
Read the sentence from the passage and answer the question that follows:
"A collection of textile samples lay spread out on the table-Samsa was a travelling salesman-and above it there hung a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and housed
in a nice, gilded frame."
The purpose of this sentence in the second paragraph is to (5 points)
show the reality of Gregor's situation
reveal Gregor as a untidy individual

We see the bright light of the Moon at night, but the Moon has no
light of its own. We only see it because of the light from the Sun.
Sunlight bounces off the Moon and back to us on Earth.
The Moon seems to change shape, but it really does not. It looks that
way because of how the sunlight hits it. The Moon orbits the Earth.
That is, it goes around the Earth. At the same time, the Earth orbits
or goes around the Sun.
The Moon and Earth are always moving. For this reason, sunlight hits
the Moon in different ways. That is why the Moon looks different
every night.
Which sentence explains how we can see the Moon at night?
A That is why the Moon looks different every night.
B Sunlight bounces off the Moon and back to us on Earth.

I NEED A 5 PARAGRAPH LITERARY ANALYSIS ESSAY ON THE LION KING

Answer:
The film I decided to summarize is The Lion King by Walt Disney. It is an animated
film as are all Disney movies. The movie opens with the themes song “The Circle Of Life” playing as the camera show Mufasa, king of the lions holding his newborn son Simba. The whole community of animals is here at Pride Rock to witness young Simba because he is the future king. Everyone in the kingdom is happy about the birth of the new prince except for one lion. That lion is Scar. Scar is Mufasas brother and was next in line to be king before Simba took his place. Scar is angry and jealous of young Simba. Young Simba is a very happy lion. He plays all the time with his best friend, a lioness named Nala. Simba is watched by the…show more content…
Scar then tells Simba that he should leave because Mufasas death was his fault and the kingdom will be angry with him.. Simba departs Pride Rock very solemnly. Simba finds his own place to live far away. He then meets Timon (a wisecracking merecat) and Pumba (a goofy warthog). Timon and Pumba become his best friends. They teach Simba to live with no worries. The three of them sing “Hakuna Matata”. As time passes Timon and Pumba raise Simba, they become his family. Simba is a full grown lion now, much resembling his father. Meanwhile, Pride Rock is in shambles. There is no food and there are hyenas everywhere. Scar and the hyenas have ruined the once great Pride Rock.. Scar makes it the lionesses job to go out and find food. One day while out hunting for food a fully grown Nala ventures to near Simbas home. The two recognize eachother fully grown. Nala tells Simba that everyone thought he was dead. She informs him of the kingdoms state and tells him that he should return and take his place as king. Simba refuses because he feels he’s been gone too long. Also in the back of his mind he still feels guilty and responsible for Mufasas death. Nala is angered and storms off. Simba goes off to think and while hes thinking he calls to his father for help. Mufasa appears to Sima in the clouds. Mufasa tells Simba that he must take his place in the circle of life and go take the throne like he was the king of the jungle...

Which of the following best describes the poet's use of language in this stanza?
A. The poet is using a simile to describe a personal experience.
B. The poet is using a metaphor to explain a universal feeling.
C. The poet is making a comparison to call attention to human frailty.
D. The poet is making an allusion to evoke a feeling of appreciation.
Answer:
first of all great poem and the answer is d i belive
Explanation:
The statement that best describes the poet's use of language in this stanza is the poet is making an allusion to evoke a feeling of appreciation. Thus, option D is correct.
What is allusion?Allusion is a figure of speech in which an object or incident from a different context is mentioned subtly or indirectly. The audience is left to make the straight link. When the author states the relationship clearly and unambiguously, it is referred to be a reference.
For Dickinson, hope sings its wordless melody and never stops: nothing can stop it. In other words (as it were), hope does not communicate with us by'speaking' to us in the usual sense: it is a sensation that we have, not always a reasonable one, that lifts our spirits even in the darkest of situations.
The best description of the poet's choice of language in this stanza is that the poet is using an allusion to elicit a feeling of admiration. As a result, option D is correct.

1. Rewrite the sentences using used to if it is possible. Write can't change
where you can't change the sentence.
1 I talked to him on Monday.
2 I hated school when I was a teenager.
3 My parents didn't eat out very often.
4 We visited our grandmother every weekend.
5 I went to the cinema with Mark yesterday.
6 Did you watch a lot of TV when you were a child?
Answer:
1 I talked to him on Monday. --> CAN'T CHANGE
2 I hated school when I was a teenager. --> I used to hate school when I was a teenager.
3 My parents didn't eat out very often. --> My parents didn't use to eat out very often.
4 We visited our grandmother every weekend. --> We used to visit our grandmother every weekend.
5 I went to the cinema with Mark yesterday. --> CAN'T CHANGE
6 Did you watch a lot of TV when you were a child? --> Did you use to watch a lot of TV when you were a child?
Explanation:
First, let's understand why we can't change numbers 1 and 5. "Used to" can be employed to refer to habitual actions in the past, that is, actions that happened frequently. In numbers 1 and 5, we are talking about a single action that happened at a specific time in the past, not about actions that happened often. Therefore, "used to" is not applicable to them.
All the other sentences are speaking of actions that happened often during a period of time in the past. If the sentence is affirmative, all we need to do is add "used to" before the main verb in its base form. If the sentence is negative, we use "didn't use to" before the main verb. Interrogative sentences place the auxiliary "did" before the subject, followed by "use to" and the main verb. Note that, in the negative and interrogative forms, it's "use", not "used".

which is the longest word in english . and what is it about ??
Answer:
The correct answer is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.
Explanation:
The word pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is an artificial word that supposedly means, "lung disease caused by inhaling very fine silica dust, causing inflammation in the lungs." It is used mainly as an example when speaking of very long words.
A disease that meets the definition of the word is commonly called silicosis.
The 45-letter word was coined to be the longest in the English language. It is, in fact, the longest word to appear in an English dictionary, found in current editions of several dictionaries. It is usually abbreviated with the number P45.
