Answer:
Tempting a black man
Explanation:
“She has committed no crime, she has merely broken a rigid and time-honored code of our society, a code so severe that whoever breaks it is hounded from our midst as unfit to live with. … No code mattered to her before she broke it, but it came crashing down on her afterward.”
Atticus Finch is presenting a fundamental differentiation of how the local society sees its own rules and the actual laws.
Mayella broke the code of society by making advances on a black man. The local society would never accept that a white woman would be interested in Tom Robinson because of his skin color and would hurry to judge him as guilty even though that was no evidence to prove it.
There is no actual logic to it, and that's what made it so hard on the children that tried to think of it logically. Mayella simply broke the social norm when she invited a black man to her house and came on to him. Tom Robinson himself knew that nothing good would come from it and so did she.
Io, one of Jupiter’s moons, is dotted with active volcanoes.
Which word or phrase is an appositive in the sentence?
Answer:
one of Jupiter’s moons
Explanation:
An appositive phrase is a noun or a noun phrase that "renames", identifies or gives further information of another noun placed right beside it. When they are not essential to the meaning of the sentence, they are set off by commas just like "one of Jupiter’s moons" is. This noun phrase is appositive because it renames another noun: "Io"
Who were members of the new middle class?
merchants, knights, and bakers
shopkeepers, clergy, and merchants
tradesmen, merchants, and shopkeepers
tradesmen, monks, and squires
Answer:
tradesmen, merchants, and shopkeepers
Explanation:
The term middle class has a long history and has had many, sometimes even contradictory, meanings. Once it was already defined as an intermediate class between the nobility and the peasants in the continent of Europe. While the nobility held the land, the peasantry worked in these lands, and a new middle class emerged, the so-called "new bourgeoisie" (literally the "city walkers") exercising mercantile functions in the urban environment. The first references to the expression middle class appeared in the late eighteenth century. This class had tradesmen, merchants, and shopkeepers as members.

Which lines in this excerpt from T. S. Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" contain a biblical allusion?
I should have been a pair of ragged claws
Scuttling across the floors of silent seas.
And the afternoon, the evening, sleeps so peacefully!
Smoothed by long fingers,
Asleep … tired … or it malingers,
Stretched on the floor, here beside you and me.
Should I, after tea and cakes and ices,
Have the strength to force the moment to its crisis?
But though I have wept and fasted, wept and prayed,
A)[Though I have seen my head (grown slightly bald) brought in upon a platter,
I am no prophet]—and here’s no great matter;
I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker,
And would it have been worth it, after all,
After the cups, the marmalade, the tea,
Among the porcelain, among some talk of you and me,
Would it have been worth while,
B)[To have bitten off the matter with a smile,
To have squeezed the universe into a ball]
To roll it toward some overwhelming question,
C)[To say: “I am Lazarus, come from the dead],
Come back to tell you all, I shall tell you all”—
D)[If one, settling a pillow by her head,
Should say: “That is not what I meant at all;
That is not it, at all.”]

To determine the meanings of challenging words, the reader should look at the , the words or sentences around the unknown word.
context, the words or sentences around the unknown word.
Answer:
A) Context.
Explanation:
While reading a text, it is crucial to understand the meanings of challenging words given in the text in order to clarify the coherent meaning implied or suggested by the author. The author often provides 'context clues' that include a hint about the background or context in which that particular word or phrase is employed that assists the readers to understand the meaning.
As per the question, in order to determine the meaning of difficult words, the readers must divert their attention towards the 'context' along with the words that surround the word(unknown) as it would help them evaluate and determine the meaning(which could be literal or suggested) of that word as per the background of the sentence more conveniently and efficiently. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
ead this line from Frankenstein by Mary Shelley: I had gazed on him while unfinished; he was ugly then, but when those muscles and joints were rendered capable of motion, it became a thing such as even Dante could not have conceived. Which definition of render is most likely suited for this line? (5 points) 14th Century: delivered 15th Century: returned 16th Century: depicted 20th Century: made
Answer:
20th Century: made
Explanation:
"....., but when those muscles and joints were rendered capable of motion.." The word in italics can be replaced by made. This means that when Frankestein was being created, Victor Frankenstein wanted the monster's muscles and joints to move. The surprising point was, yet, that Frankenstein's own creator got shocked when the monster moved. This is the reason why this phenomenon was compared to Dante's imaginary reaction.
MACBETH. She should have died hereafter;
There would have been a time for such a word.
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
Which line refers to the meaninglessness of life?
"All our yesterdays have lighted fools/ The way to dusty death."
"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,/ Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,"
"Out, out, brief candle!"
"full of sound and fury,/ Signifying nothing."
The correct option is D. i.e. "full of sound and fury,/ Signifying nothing" . This expresses his realization that all human actions are ultimately insignificant. Other lines in his soliloquy also convey themes of inevitable death and the monotonous passage of time.
In Macbeth's soliloquy, the line that most explicitly refers to the meaninglessness of life is "full of sound and fury,/ Signifying nothing." This phrase captures the essence of Macbeth's despair and realization that all human actions and ambitions are ultimately insignificant and devoid of meaning.
Here is a breakdown of the provided lines:
A. "All our yesterdays have lighted fools/ The way to dusty death."
While this line reflects on the inevitability of death and how past actions lead to an inevitable end, it doesn't specifically highlight the concept of life's meaninglessness. It focuses more on the passage of time and the unavoidable conclusion of life.B. "To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,/ Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,"
This line emphasizes the monotonous and slow passage of time. Although it conveys a sense of weariness and the plodding nature of life, it doesn't directly state that life is meaningless.C. "Out, out, brief candle!"
This line metaphorically describes the brevity and fragility of life, comparing it to a candle that can be easily extinguished. It speaks to the transient nature of life but doesn't directly address the idea of it being meaningless.D. "full of sound and fury,/ Signifying nothing."
This line captures the essence of life's meaninglessness according to Macbeth. It suggests that life, despite all its noise and chaos ("sound and fury"), ultimately means nothing. This stark nihilism directly conveys the theme of futility and insignificance.Therefore, the option D "full of sound and fury,/ Signifying nothing." is the correct answer because it explicitly conveys the idea that life is chaotic and full of activity, yet ultimately devoid of meaning.
Select the noun phrase to complete the sentence. Monique _______rides horses on her farm. A , from my art class, B Raises and C Frequently and fearlessly D , an amazing athlete,
The correct option is D. Select the noun phrase to complete the sentence. Monique an amazing athlete rides horses on her farm.
The phrase "an amazing athlete" is a noun phrase because it describes Monique using a noun ("athlete") and an adjective ("amazing") that modifies the noun.
The noun phrase "an amazing athlete" is placed within commas, correctly functioning as an appositive. An appositive provides additional information about a noun (Monique) and is set off by commas.
The other incorrect options are
A) from my art class - Although it is a noun phrase and grammatically correct, it does not provide information relevant to Monique riding horses. It shifts the context to her being in an art class, which is unrelated to the activity mentioned.
B) Raises - This is not a noun phrase but a verb, making it grammatically incorrect to complete the sentence.
C) Frequently and fearlessly - This is an adverbial phrase describing how Monique rides horses, not a noun phrase describing who Monique is.
Which of the following characters is the best example of a tragic hero
Letter C is the best choice for this question: An ambitious prince is unable to save himself or his family after realizing too late how much his desire for power has cost him.
That seems to be the plot of Macbeth, a play by Shakespeare in which the hero of the story gets too ambitious for his own good. His desire for power leads him to make mistakes that will eventually cost his wife's sanity as well as their lives. That is what a typical tragic hero is all about: he makes so many mistakes based on his error of judgement that he brings about his own destruction.
Shakespeare's tragic plays often - and obviously - present this type of hero: Hamlet, Othello, Romeo...
In at least three complete sentences, write a character analysis for the protagonist in your selected novel. Include literal, interpretive, and evaluative information about the character. My novel is I Am Nujood
A character analysis of Nujood Ali from the novel 'I Am Nujood' covers literal aspects of her as a child bride, interpretative aspects related to women's rights, and evaluative perspectives that view her as a figure of defiance against gender-based oppression.
In the novel I Am Nujood, Nujood Ali is portrayed as a young Yemeni girl who is forced into marriage at the tender age of ten. Her character embodies resilience and courage as she navigates the challenges of a child bride. From a literal standpoint, Nujood is an actual child who is thrust into an adult world without her consent. The interpretative layer of her character suggests a broader issue of women's rights and child marriage in Yemen. Evaluatively, Nujood's actions to seek divorce and break free from her marital bounds make her a symbol of defiance against gender-based oppression, becoming a voice for many silenced girls and setting a precedent in her community and beyond.
Analyze these aspects to form a balanced understanding of her narrative journey. Nujood's characterization invites readers to not only observe her plight but to engage with the complex fabric of societal issues that mold her character's reality. Through this lens, the reader can deeply evaluate and understand the character within the framework of the novel's setting and theme.

How are satire and sarcasm the same?
Satire and sarcasm share some similarities in that they both involve the use of irony and humor to criticize or comment on something. However, they differ in their overall intent and approach.
Satire is a form of social or political commentary that uses humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize human follies, vices, or shortcomings. It often employs wit and cleverness to bring attention to societal issues and provoke thought or change. Satire aims to provide social criticism or commentary through a humorous lens, using irony and exaggeration to highlight the flaws or absurdities of individuals, institutions, or society as a whole.
Sarcasm, on the other hand, is a form of verbal irony that involves saying something while intending the opposite meaning or conveying a contemptuous or mocking tone. It often involves the use of cutting remarks, sharp wit, or biting humor. Sarcasm is typically used to mock, belittle, or express disdain or frustration towards someone or something. It is often characterized by a sharp or caustic tone that may be intended to insult or express displeasure.
While both satire and sarcasm employ irony and humor, satire is a broader genre that encompasses a wide range of comedic or critical works with a satirical purpose. Satire can be found in literature, plays, films, cartoons, and other forms of artistic expression. Sarcasm, on the other hand, is a linguistic tool or rhetorical device used to convey a particular tone or attitude. It is a more specific form of verbal irony that can be used within satire or other forms of communication.

Why does shakespeare allow cassio to live?
In Shakespeare's play Othello, Cassio's survival is essential to the play's resolution, highlighting themes of justice, redemption, and the triumph of integrity over deceit.
Explanation:In William Shakespeare's play Othello, the decision to let Cassio live is a critical component of the narrative, serving several purposes. Unlike many other characters who meet tragic ends, Cassio's survival can be seen as a testament to the themes of justice, redemption, and the consequences of manipulation. Cassio, who is manipulated by Iago just as Othello is, represents the potential for innocence to endure amidst a web of treachery. His survival allows for a semblance of justice and hope in the resolution of the play. Shakespeare's choice to allow Cassio to live underscores the complexities of human nature and the possibilities for restitution in the face of overwhelming deceit.
Furthermore, Cassio's character embodies the themes of honor and integrity, which, though challenged throughout the play, ultimately contribute to his survival. By letting Cassio live, Shakespeare offers a counterpoint to the tragic fate of Othello, Desdemona, and even Iago, highlighting the variability of consequences based on character choices and external manipulations. Cassio's ascent to the position of governor of Cyprus at the play's conclusion symbolizes the restoration of order and the triumph of virtuous qualities over nefarious schemes.
