Why was macbeth a bad king explain?
I think that this is a very hard question to answer. I think that many kings, fictional or not, possess both the bad and good traits of being a king.
In regards to Macbeth, he certainly possessed the ambition many would wish for a king. He was brave, as noted by Duncan and the title of the Thane of Cawdor. He was protective, as noted by his murder of Banquo. Macbeth was even proud, as seen by his desire to keep the new title of Thane before taking the crown.
Unfortunately, many of the characteristics one would align with being a good king made Macbeth a bad king as well. Macbeth was too ambitious--as seen by his murdering Duncan. He was too protective--as seen by his inability to interpret the apparitions warnings in the correct way. Lastly, he was too proud--as seen by his refusal to leave the castle as Birnam Wood "moved" against him.
Like anything, one must always have control. Too much of anything normally turns out to be a bad thing. Therefore, depending upon one's individual views, Macbeth could be both a bad king or a good one.

Answer:
a) Each paragraph should have a topic sentence, support, and a concluding sentence
Explanation:
The topic sentence summarizes the main purpose and ideas found in a paragraph. It also tells the reader how these ideas are going to be presented, and it structures the paragraph's subject-matter.
Sentence A is the best topic sentence because it provides a complete and reliable summary of what was discussed in the paragraph.
The topic sentence is correctly explained in option (a): “Each paragraph should have a topic sentence, support, and a concluding sentence.”
A topic sentence is a sentence that communicates the main idea of a paragraph or a larger unit of speech and typically appears at or near the beginning.
The topic sentence is typically the first sentence in a paragraph since it provides an outline of the sentences that will come after it.
Following the theme sentence, the supporting sentences assist in advancing the main idea.
The theme sentence describes the paragraph's major ideas and purpose.
It also tells the reader or audience how these concepts will be presented and structures the subject matter of the paragraph.
Therefore, option A is the finest topic sentence since it provides a thorough and reliable summary of the paragraph's discussion.

THE TYGER (from Songs of Experience) By William Blake
Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare sieze the fire?
And what shoulder, and what art.
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? and what dread feet?
What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?
Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

Which of the following is a correct parenthetical citation? Author: Ionta Page: 38 Paraphrased Passage: Spending a considerable amount of time doing repetitive tasks with a person's hands can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome. Select one: a. Spending a considerable amount of time doing repetitive tasks with a person's hands can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome (Ionta 38). b. Spending a considerable amount of time doing repetitive tasks with a person's hands can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome. (38). c. Spending a considerable amount of time doing repetitive tasks with a person's hands can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome (Ionta, page 38). d. Spending a considerable amount of time doing repetitive tasks with a person's hands can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome (38 Ionta).
a. Spending a considerable amount of time doing repetitive tasks with a person's hands can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome (Ionta 38).
This is the correct parenthetical citation. There are no signal words in the sentence that indicate the author of the cited passage. Therefore, the author needs to be included in the parenthetical citation. Also, needed in the parenthetical citation is the location where the information was found. This information was found on page 38. The author's name comes before the page number because the author's name is what will be used first when determining the source of the information. The reader would look for the author in the Works Cited page, then need to acquire the source before turning to page 38. It's also important that the parenthetical information be inside the period with the rest of the cited information. This connects everything together.
"The correct option is a. Spending a considerable amount of time doing repetitive tasks with a person's hands can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome (Ionta 38).
In MLA format, a parenthetical citation should include the author's last name followed by the page number where the information can be found. The author's name is not followed by a comma, and there is no need to include the word page or p. before the page number. Therefore, the correct format is to simply list the author's last name followed by the page number in parentheses, as shown in option a.
Option b is incorrect because it omits the author's name entirely. Option c incorrectly includes the word page and a comma after the author's name. Option d incorrectly places the page number before the author's name and omits the comma that should separate the two elements.
Thus, the correct parenthetical citation for the paraphrased passage from page 38 by author Ionta is (Ionta 38)."
Those tests were constructed around items like fill-in-the-blank sentence completion, such as “Even though Tom was ______, Mary thought he was _____.” And the correct answer always seemed to be the most bland combinations of thoughts, for example, “Even though Tom was foolish, Mary thought he was ridiculous.” Well, according to my mother, there were very few limitations as to what Tom could have been and what Mary might have thought of him. So I never did well on tests like that. How does Tan build a central idea of her story in the excerpt?
Presenting the idea and supporting it with details. - one builds upon an idea with examples and evidence.
A central idea is often referred to as the main idea. The main idea is what the paragraph is mostly about, which in this case is, "tests that are constructed around fill-in-the-blank". Tan builds on this central idea by providing examples and evidence of support that explains what she means by this.
the correct answer is option C. "Tan gives an example of her experience with achievement tests to support the idea that they are not always accurate measures of language ability."

The citizens carry branches wrapped in wool, which they offer to the gods as gifts. Thebes has been struck by a plague, the citizens are dying, and no one knows how to put an end to it. Oedipus asks a priest why the citizens have gathered around the palace. The priest responds that the city is dying and asks the king to save Thebes. Oedipus replies that he sees and understands the terrible fate of Thebes, and that no one is more sorrowful than he. He has sent Creon, his brother-in-law and fellow ruler, to the Delphic oracle to find out how to stop the plague. Just then, Creon arrives, and Oedipus asks what the oracle has said. Creon asks Oedipus if he wants to hear the news in private, but Oedipus insists that all the citizens hear. Creon then tells what he has learned from the god Apollo, who spoke through the oracle: the murderer of Laius, who ruled Thebes before Oedipus, is in Thebes. He must be driven out in order for the plague to end.
With the aid of leaving his home in Corinth, Oedipus thinks he has escaped a horrible prophecy that says that he will kill his father and marry his mom. Oedipus has defeated the riddling Sphinx, saved the seven-gated city of Thebes, and married the queen Jocasta.

In this excerpt from the poem "Old Ironsides" by Oliver Wendell Holmes, what is the meaning of the word tread?

crush
pace
quell
trudge
march
Answer:
march
Explanation:
March is the best choice here. The poem is about the decommission of the USS Constitution. It is a battleship so the victor's were all part of the military. The military would not be described as "trudging" when victorious. To keep the proud and respected image being created within the poem, the best choice for tread is march. The other options do not show the pride or military nature of those on the ship.
In the excerpt from the poem "Old Ironsides," the meaning of the word "tread" is march.
What was the summary of "Old Ironsides" by Oliver Wendell Holmes?“Old Ironsides” As a Representative of Victory. The poem is about a ship, the USS Constitution, which was condemned to be scrapped. Holmes describes the glory of it and how it is a symbol of America's freedom. Holmes talks about how the glory of the ship is that the "harpies of the shore" (greedy business men) will take the ship and use its scraps for profit. Holmes presents conflicting ideas through his poem. He wants to preserve the USS Constitution, but his idea to have it sink rather than be scrapped would have the same end result anyway.
