"Sonnet 100.” What is the central idea of the sonnet? The speaker considers his love to be his muse. The speaker wants his muse to help him immortalize his love. The speaker fears that his love is growing old faster than he would like. The speaker thinks that his muse is forgetful and lazy and wastes a lot of time. "
Answer:
I would say that the central idea of this Sonnet 100 by William Shakespeare is that he thinks that his muse is forgetful and lazy and wastes a lot of time. The correct answer is the last one.
Explanation:
I chose this option because in these lines the author describes a muse who isn't working hard enough according to his point of view. She is, he says, "resty" and forgets to do what she does best: "Where art thou Muse that thou forgett'st long, /To speak of that which gives thee all thy might?". The speaker thinks that his muse is wasting her time in things that he considers useless, that she is giving her precious attention to things that don't matter, and she is wasting time when she doesn't "Sing to the ear that doth thy lays esteem, / And gives thy pen both skill and argument.". After reading all these, we can easily understand that the speaker thinks his muse is not only forgetful, but also lazy, that is why I chose the last option.
Sonnet 100 contains various themes revolving the speaker's love, his muse, the transience of love and beauty, and the role of poetry in preserving these experiences. The speaker also expresses discontentment with his muse for being forgetful and wasteful of time.
Explanation:The sonnet in question, Sonnet 100, presents several central ideas revolving around the theme of love, the endurance of beauty, and the power of poetry in immortalizing these experiences. The speaker indeed refers to his love as his muse, which serves as his source of inspiration. The speaker also conveys a desire for his muse to assist him in immortalizing his love. This element of the sonnet suggests the notion of love and beauty as fleeting, and thus, the speaker struggles with the idea that his love is aging faster than he would like. Lastly, the speaker criticizes his muse for being forgetful and lazy, implicating the passage of time in eroding memory and reducing productivity.

Read the passage and answer the question that follows.
No matter what people say, every act of kindness is in fact purely selfish. Even large gifts to charity feel good to the giver. Whatever beneficial effects to others these gifts produce, it is the personal satisfaction that motivates them. However, this does not mean that charity does no good. On the contrary, selfishly motivated giving has done a lot of good in the world.
Which word or phrase from the passage signals a contrasting thought?
Answer:
The correct answer is: "However."
Explanation:
The passage starts by stating the argument that all acts of kindness are selfish. It continues developing this idea in the following lines and then uses the word "however" to show that the next idea will be contrasting with the first argument: that even though they are selfish acts, they are still good for the world.
Answer:
The actual answer is on the contrary, I don't know why the other answer is so high rated, it's wrong.
Explanation:
Read the whole passage and you'll see that in the beginning it makes giving and charity seem selfish and negative then after the phrase on the contrary they state that it has done a lot of good which contrasts with the tone and mood of giving in the rest of the passage.

what era does this sentence contain? Which was her mothers favorite vase in all the world
The sentence contains a grammatical error in the use of the relative pronoun 'which' without a clear noun antecedent. It should begin with a subject and verb or connect properly to a previous clause.
Explanation:The sentence "Which was her mother's favorite vase in all the world" contains a grammatical error. The error is the use of the relative pronoun 'which' without a clear noun antecedent or preceding clause to which it can refer. A corrected version of this sentence could be: "This was her mother's favorite vase in all the world." Assuming that 'this' refers to a vase mentioned earlier in the text, this correction provides a clear subject for the sentence. Additionally, the beginning of the sentence would typically include the subject and verb if it were standing as an independent sentence.

The violent actions of slamming "his hand down on the desk" and pointing "his finger at me" all set an aggressive tone.

The sentence is light-hearted as the word "silly" should not be taken seriously, but with ease, and that sets a playful tone.
4)She has no talent; she's a fool if she thinks she'll be cast in the play: D) Cruel
The speaker's intent when making this remark is not to be nice, but to be cruel.
5)The woman bit her fingernails and tapped her foot while waiting for her test results: E) Anxious

Paragraphs 4 and 5 are two separate explanations of what stated main idea from the previous paragraph (paragraph 3)?
The Federalist Papers
James Madison
1 A republic, by which I mean a government in which the scheme of representation takes place, opens a different prospect [from the evils of faction], and promises the cure for which we are seeking. Let us examine the points in which it varies from pure democracy, and we shall comprehend both the nature of the cure and the efficacy which it must derive from the Union.
2 The two great points of difference between a democracy and a republic are: first, the delegation of the government, in the latter, to a small number of citizens elected by the rest; secondly, the greater number of citizens, and greater sphere of the country, over which the latter may be extended.
3 The effect of the first difference is, on the one hand, to refine and enlarge the public views, by passing them through the medium of a chosen body of citizens, whose wisdom may best discern the true interest of their country, and whose patriotism and love of justice will be least likely to sacrifice it to temporary or partial considerations. Under such a regulation, it may well happen that the public voice, pronounced by the representatives of the people, will be more consonant to the public good than if pronounced by the people themselves, convened for the purpose. On the other hand, the effect may be inverted. Men of factious tempers, of local prejudices, or of sinister designs, may, by intrigue, by corruption, or by other means, first obtain the suffrages, and then betray the interests, of the people. The question resulting is, whether small or extensive republics are more favorable to the election of proper guardians of the public weal; and it is clearly decided in favor of the latter by two obvious considerations:
4 In the first place, it is to be remarked that, however large it may be, they must be limited to a certain number, in order to guard against the confusion of a multitude. Hence, the number of representatives in the two cases not being in proportion to that of the two constituents and being proportionally greater in the small republic, it follows that, if the proportion of fit characters be not less in the large than in the small republic, the former will present a greater option, and consequently a greater probability of a fit choice.
5 In the next place, as each representative will be chosen by a greater number of citizens in the large than in the small republic, it will be more difficult for unworthy candidates to practice with success the vicious arts by which elections are too often carried; and the suffrages of the people being more free, will be more likely to center in men who possess the most attractive merit and the most diffusive and established characters.
6 It must be confessed that in this, as in most other cases, there is a mean, on both sides of which inconveniences will be found to lie. By enlarging too much the number of electors, you render the representative too little acquainted with all their local circumstances and lesser interests; as by reducing it too much, you render him unduly attached to these and too little fit to comprehend and pursue great national objects. The federal Constitution forms a happy combination in this respect; the great and aggregate interests being referred to the national, the local and particular to the State legislatures.
Answer: Whether small or large republics are better
Explanation: Just answered the question
Paragraphs 4 and 5 of the Federalist Papers expand on the benefits of a large republic in electing representatives, arguing that it presents a greater probability of choosing suitable representatives and hinders unworthy candidates, further supporting James Madison's preference for a large over a small republic.
Explanation:Analysis of the Federalist Papers
The stated main idea from the previous paragraph (paragraph 3), which paragraphs 4 and 5 aim to explain, is the advantages of a large republic over a small one in the context of electing representatives. Paragraph 3 discusses how the delegation of the government in a large republic to a selected body of citizens may refine and enlarge public views, and paragraphs 4 and 5 expand on this by explaining how a larger republic provides a greater probability of a fit choice of representatives and makes it more challenging for unworthy candidates to succeed in elections.
In paragraph 4, Madison explains that in a larger republic the number of representatives is not in proportion to the number of citizens, but because there is a greater number of fit characters to choose from, the odds of electing competent representatives are higher. In paragraph 5, the argument is made that since each representative is chosen by a larger number of citizens, this results in a more difficult environment for unworthy candidates to use corrupt methods to win elections, therefore leading to the election of individuals who possess true merit and established character.
Through these explanations, we can see Madison's argument for a larger republican government, which was intended to prevent the rise of factions and maintain a strong central government while also upholding the federal system of power sharing between the national and state governments.

During reading, Roman encounters the word vivacious. He believes that vivacious means “lively or animated.” Which sentence uses Roman’s definition of the word vivacious? I used a vivacious writing utensil, so when I added heat, the message I wrote appeared! After the long hike, the tired hikers sat together in the diner, eating and having a light, vivacious conversation. Rosemary knew that a vivacious portion of cinnamon would add just the right flavor to the pumpkin bread she was making. Though Robert was more reserved, he enjoyed the sparkle that Clara’s vivacious personality brought to the situations they experienced.
Though Robert was more reserved, he enjoyed the sparkle that Clara’s vivacious personality brought to the situations they experienced.
Answer:
Though Robert was more reserved, he enjoyed the sparkle that Clara’s vivacious personality brought to the situations they experienced.
Explanation:
The last sentence is the best choice. In this sentence, the contextual clues tell us that Robert's personality is the opposite of Clara's. He is described as being reserved, so the opposite would be lively. The other clue that can help is the word "sparkle". Something that sparkles seems to dance or be alive which also hints that lively is correct. A quick look at the other options, pencils are not vivacious unless they are in a cartoon; a portion of something described as vivacious would mean that it is large. The hikers, who are tired and worn out, probably are not having a lively conversation because they don't have any more energy.

3) “Octopi are very secretive.” This sentence is an example of a(n)___?
A) source
B) description
C) inference
D) opinion
E) fact
Final answer:
A book report aims to explain a book, Dr. Paul Cephal's statement about octopi is an opinion, and the sentence describing octopi as secretive is a description.
Explanation:
The purpose of a book report is to explain a book. Therefore, the correct answer to the first question is D) explain. A book report typically involves summarizing the content of the book, analyzing the themes, characters, and plot, and presenting the reader's understanding and interpretation of the book.
The statement by Dr. Paul Cephal, "if people do not stop harvesting so many octopi from the ocean, they might become extinct," is an example of an opinion. It is Dr. Cephal's belief or judgment about the situation rather than a statement of undeniable fact. The correct answer to the second question is C) opinion.
The sentence "Octopi are very secretive" is an example of a description. It attributes a quality or characteristic to octopi, aiming to provide the reader with information about their behavior. The correct answer to the third question is B) description.

In this section Route 66, the author points out that a new car cost only twice as much as a round-trip transcontinental flight. Why is this distinction important? Need help, already failed 3 questions, I-Ready question.
A Route 66 road trip is a driving adventure along what is probably the most famous road in the world. Historic Route 66 spans over 2,400 miles and crosses 8 states, starting in Chicago, Illinois and terminating at the Pacific Coast in Santa Monica, California. Given its “66” designation in 1926, it became a well-traveled highway, bringing together people from all walks of life.
John Steinbeck would refer to Route 66 as “the mother road, the road of flight” for those trying to escape the Dust Bowl and ravages of the Great Depression in the 1930’s. Later it would support a countless number of vacationing families from the Midwest heading to the Grand Canyon or Disneyland. As more Americans took to the highway, a roadside culture would spring up along Route 66—motels, diners, gas stations, tourist attractions—to cater to a population that was increasingly mobile.
Answer:
it explains why road travel became so popular.
Explanation:
The author resets the price of a new car and all the costs that involve its purchase, in a certain part of his work. With this, the author wanted to show why road travel became so popular. He shows this by saying that the costs of a new car were double the round-trip transcontinental flight, so people didn't find it helpful to buy a car and preferred road trips.
