The author's use of sensory details in "An Election Day Surprise" helped develop the text because:

B - The use of sensory details highlights Anthony's internal conflict over the election.

E The use of sensory details entertains the reader by highlighting Anthony's whimsical quirks as a character.

The use of sensory details in a story gives to the reader more detailed information about the character feelings and shows deeply the circumstances that were going on.

Answer:

B. The use of sensory details highlights Anthony's internal conflict over the election.

E. The use of sensory details entertains the reader by highlighting Anthony's funny quirks as a character.

Explanation:

Sensory details are used in this except to show that Antony has an internal conflict with the elections and this reason why he emphasizes his whimsical quirks. The author has therefore employed the use of sensory details intending to provide the reader with particular information about the feelings of the character. Consequently, the sensory details were essential to the author on the surprise on Election Day.

The correct answer is the third sentence: “We had a heavy hot meal and soon wanted warm snuggly naps.”

In this particular sentence a comma is not needed as the coordinating conjunction “and” joins an independent clause (“We had a heavy hot meal”) and a phrase which is not a complete clause; that is to say, it has not subject and verb, and it does not convey a complete thought (“soon wanted warm, snuggly naps.”)

Mrs. Smith is a postsecondary teacher, and Mr. Doe is a teaching assistant.

In this scenario, Mrs. Smith is a postsecondary teacher because it says that the course is college-level. We also know that she is the teacher because she is the one that is actually delivering the instruction (doing the teaching) through her lectures. She is also considered the expert on the material. Mr. Doe is the teaching assistant because it says that he "helps grade papers". He also offers tutoring sessions and attends the lectures but does not give them, so he is available for assistance, but he is not in charge of the instruction.

The answer is actually C) They must undergo and successfully pass an interview by an interview board.

Explanation:

The theme that is revealed in this excerpt is: Naïve citizens allow corrupt governments. In this passage of the novel, it is demonstrated that the naivety of the working-class animals is one of the main reasons of their oppression. The tyranny of the pigs kept the other animals ignorant enough to let them possibly understand that they have been deceived by the false ideals of the rebellion. At the end, the gullibility of the animals becomes the best weapon of Napoleon to reaffirm his dictatorship, in which the pigs can have a comfortable life at the expenses of the other animals.

I think whoever said/wrote this was really religious. He has strong faith in God and really believes in him, that he is almighty and really wise. He portrays him, as many do, as someone who should be praised, worshipped, and loved, which many do as well, and also says it in a way of subtly saying 'You should worship him too'.

This is just my interpretation, no offence to anyone.

The excerpts discuss the notion that God's wisdom is beyond human wisdom and chooses what is weak or foolish in the world to reveal deeper truths, underscoring the limitations of human reason in understanding divine matters and emphasizing the need for trust in divine wisdom.

The excerpt discusses the paradoxical Christian belief that God's wisdom and strength is so superior to that of humans that what is considered foolish or weak in the world can actually be used by God to confound the seemingly wise and strong. The text suggests that God has chosen what the world considers lowly or insignificant to reveal deeper truths and challenge human understanding. This reflects a recurring theme in Christianity which values humility and divine wisdom over worldly power and intelligence.

In a more philosophical context, the excerpt reflects on the limitations of human reason in matters concerning the existence of God and spiritual truths. It touches on the idea of faith being beyond the realm of empirical evidence and reason, referencing 'a game played at the extremity of this infinite distance'. It suggests that faith and belief in God might be a wager beyond rational proof, an act and test of faith in itself.

The complexities of human understanding and the divine are further illustrated through examples where God's wisdom is believed to transcend all and the state of living 'with God' leads to a true perception of reality. Whether wisdom is shared, or how divine providence operates, makes clear that human understanding is limited, and trust in divine wisdom is central to faith.

Explanation:

Correct modifier placement is essential for clarity in sentence construction, and dangling modifiers should be revised to ensure the intended meaning is communicated effectively.

Using modifiers correctly in sentences is crucial to convey the intended meaning clearly and precisely. Modifiers should be placed close to the word they modify to avoid confusion or misinterpretation. A dangling modifier occurs when a modifier is not clearly and logically related to the word it is supposed to modify. This can lead to ambiguity or a change in the intended meaning of the sentence. It is essential to revise such sentences to make sure that the modifier is correctly placed and the meaning is clear.

Here are a few examples of how to correct dangling modifiers:

It's important to ensure that the placement of modifiers in a sentence is logical and that they are related in a sensible way to what they are modifying.

Parish - Just took the test

The answer is:

A. A child can increase his self-confidence greatly by participating in physical activity.

A pronoun takes the place or stands for a noun, called antecedent. Pronoun agreement is the correspondence in number between the pronoun and the antecedent.

In the example sentence, the antecedent "a child" agrees in number with the pronoun "his."

The pronoun agreement must match its antecedent in gender; if it is feminine use her, hers and she, and if it is masculine use he, him or his.

In option C the subject doesn’t have gender but is singular (someone), the right sentence is: If someone goes through school studying only science, he/she will complete only a part of their education

In option B the antecedent is “she” (any of the sisters), the right one would be: If any one of the sisters need a ride, she can call me

In option A the antecedent is “child” (neutral subject), the correct sentence would be: A child can increase his/her self-confidence greatly by participating in physical activity.

The correct sentence is option D, because the antecedent is Washington team (plural), it corresponds to subject they, that’s why is proper to use they took advantage of every break.

Allegory is a figurative language used to express something usually unexpressable otherwise. The allegory can use many forms of communication, even paintings and theater.

In other words, the speaker tells "a" wanting the listener to understand "b". A good example of this is the story of the ant and the grasshopper. The ant worked in the summer preoccupied with the winter, while the grasshopper danced and sung all summer long. The winter came; the ant had food to survive all its duration while the grasshopper was dying of hunger and cold, and asked the ant for help. The allegory here is about time and preparation, the summer represents the human youth, while the winter its old age. The ant and the grasshopper both represent a human being; the ant taught how to age adequately, while the grasshopper showed what happens when we do not think about the future.

Answer: It occurs throughout the entire length of a story, it comments on an abstract theory or historical event, and it contains meanings of social or political significance.

Explanation: An allegory must always tell "a" so it can explain "b". It is impossible for an allegory to tell "a" 90% of the time then, suddenly, start to tell "b". That would destroy the idea of allegory. The allegory of the ant and the grasshopper would make no sense if, in the middle of the story, the ant started to tell it was a human and needed to prepare for its old age; it could get worse if she told its preparation consisted in going to college, marrying, and so on. Therefore, the allegory must be the entire story, not only part of it. Of course, there are, sometimes, stories inside stories, so the allegory can be just one of them.

Also, the allegory always wants to say something beyond what is told. So this meaning that transcends the text (or painting, music etc.) usually has a social or political significance and comments on an abstract theory or historical event. Such is the case of the ant and grasshopper, that has a social meaning and, at the same time, is a comment on an abstract theory that tells how one must conduct life.

Law should provide the means necessary for the victims (direct and indirect) to be repaid for the damage suffered. Therefore, the age of those who committed the crime(s) should not matter at all, for the damage done to the victim and society remains of equal amount and importance.

The option that supports the claim that Aesop was considered clever is: (D) Aesop was able to escape punishment for his actions by standing up to his accusers. He used fables to point out their faults and hypocrisy, pointing out the behavior of people who do things that they tell others not to do.

Explanation:

Aesop was a Greek storyteller, to this day famous for his fables. In his stories, animals and inanimate objects present human emotions and the ability to speak. By the end of each story, there is always a "moral", a lesson to be learned as to what is right and what is wrong.

Since we are looking for support to the claim that Aesop was clever, the first three options given in the question can be eliminated. They don't prove his cleverness. A talks of his possible death, B of his being considered a fool, and C of his being born a slave.

Option D, however, talks of his intelligence and wit. Aesop was clever enough to escape punishment for his actions. He was witty enough to point out his accusers' hypocrisy by means of his fables. He showed, in a veiled manner, his accusers' own faults and got away with it.

It is known as a literary canon to the set of classic works that are part of high culture. These works, either because of their formal characteristics, their originality or their quality, have managed to transcend times and borders, becoming universal and always valid.

The criterion for choosing the works of the literary canon should be aesthetic excellence, but this concept is very subjective because what a person can consider attractive another person may find boring. On the other hand, those who limit themselves to consume the books established in the list of the canon lose the opportunity to know an endless number of works that could please them more, and even contribute more to them intellectually and emotionally.

It is true that it is important for students to know classical works of literature such as the odyssey, the divine comedy or more recent works as a hundred years of solitude, however, it is necessary not to marginalize other literary works equally good and profitable for students only because they are not on the list of the literary canon.

The current society has evolved, we no longer have the same thought that we had at the time when the classic works were written. A clear example of this is the role played by women in today's society, the importance of women was a taboo subject and little mentioned in many of the works that are in the list of the literary canon by which many schools are governed, and this can lead to students not exploring and understanding this important topic.

In conclusion, the literary canon is a list of classical works because of their importance at the time they were written and therefore it is important that students know them, because through these works they can understand the behavior and thought that people had in other times.  However, it is equally important that students read recent works of current interest that allow them to compare current society with the old one, and the evolution that has occurred in the literature.

The Western literary canon is the body of works of art (literature, music, philosophy, etc.) that are considered to be classics. These books are valued for being influential to culture, civilization and development throughout history.

The canon is subject to ample debate. I believe that considering certain books as canon can have a negative influence in the artistic world. First, it causes people to only focus on particular works of art, even in cases where other books might be of equal quality or influence. Second, canons should change with time. For example, in the past, it was virtually impossible to be part of the canon if you were a woman or a minority. Although this is changing nowadays, glorifying the canon does not help. Finally, artistic canons can sometimes give too much importance to works of the past and neglect significant contributions of the present.

assuming that this is the sentence you're referring to  :

Sentence 2: I decided to ride my skateboard to school this morning.

Sentence 3: I shooed the cat away and called my older stepbrother, a veterinarian, because he would know just how to help them. 

Sentence 4: Approaching the cat, I noticed that a nest full of tiny birds was on the ground; it must have fallen from a branch.

With the Internet and wireless access, almost anyone can connect anywhere.

The revised sentence clarifies that 'devices such as smartphones and computers' are what can connect almost anyone anywhere, instead of the vague pronoun 'it'.

To correct the indefinite, ambiguous, and general pronoun references, the sentence should specify what 'it' refers to. In this case, 'it' can refer to devices like smartphones or computers that have the capability to connect. Therefore, a rewritten version of the sentence could be:

'With the Internet and wireless access, devices such as smartphones and computers can connect almost anyone anywhere.'

This revision eliminates the confusion about what can connect and provides the reader with a clear subject (devices such as smartphones and computers).

The supernatural force that brings harm in the story is an eagle that attacks one of the characters, while the supernatural force that brings help is Shamash - the character that the speaker refers as "our lord" and is bound to bring protection from the eagle.

Look at this flea and see how insignificant is what you have denied to me. It sucked my blood, then yours and in this flea, our blood has mixed. But this cannot be considered a sin or a loss of honor. The flea is swollen, filled with our blood and this is more than we would do.

Here, the poetic voice is comparing the flea and their blood mixing inside of it with sexual intercourse. He is implying that since their blood has been already mingled inside the flea, there is no sin or loss of honor if they have sexual relations.

     Mark but this flea, and mark in this,

Look at what this flea represents,

     How little that which thou deniest me is;

You won't give in to such a small union;

     Me it sucked first, and now sucks thee,

The flea sucked both our blood,

     And in this flea our two bloods mingled be;

Our blood is mixed in the flea;

     Thou know'st that this cannot be said

     A sin, or shame, or loss of maidenhead;

You can agree that the flea has not done anything wrong or shameful.

     And pampered swells with one blood made of two;

     And this, alas, is more than we would do.

The flea is free to enjoy both of our blood, and it is indulging more than we are.

One of them is the pigs use language and propaganda as tools. The second one is only the pigs are able to read and write. The second one is phrased kind of vaguely because all of the animals learn how to read throughout the book. However, the pigs can read fluently. All of the other animals can only read bits and pieces.

Hope this helps!!

The developed ideas that are important from chapters 3 and 4 are "the pigs use language and propaganda as tools" and "only the pigs are able to learn to read and write."

"The pigs, for example, use language and propaganda as instruments. The second point is that only pigs can write and read."

Because all of the animals learn to read during the book, the second one is phrased a little loosely.

The pigs, on the other hand, are excellent readers. All of the other animals can only read snatches of information.

Therefore, options three (3) and four (4) are the developed ideas in the chapters.

Three elements of gothic literature that mirror the situation of women in the late 19th and eary 20th centuries (and, one could argue, nowadays) are: 1) characters’ inability to control their fates. Protagonists of gothic tales are usually subject to forces beyond their control, much like women are subject to male dominance in society. 2) high emotions experienced by characters suffering from a sense of doom. Since women often could not control their own lives, their emotions were the only thing they had. 3) women threatened by powerful males. Such was the day to day reality for most women back then.
