Read the following excerpt from President Herbert Hoover’s State of the Union Address, 1930.
In order that the Government may meet its full obligation toward our countrymen in distress through no fault of their own, I recommend that an appropriation should be made to the Department of Agriculture to be loaned for the purpose of seed and feed for animals. Its application should as hitherto in such loans be limited to a gross amount to any one individual, and secured upon the crop.
Use context clues or a dictionary to select the best definition for President Hoover’s use of appropriation.
Answer: an authorization of money.
The term "appropriation" can have several meanings. It can refer to the act of setting apart funds for a specific purpose. It can also refer to these funds that have been set apart. Finally, in terms of government, it can have two meanings. The first one refers to the act of "appropriating" something, or taking it as one's own. The second one refers to an authorization of money that is going to be used for a specific purpose. This is the meaning that best matches the way Hoover uses the word in this passage.

Which sentence is an example of formal language? A.That new restaurant is the worst, and I'll never go back there again. B.Customers did not enjoy the service they received at the new restaurant. C.I didn't like the food at the restaurant and thought the service was really bad. D.The service at that restaurant is awful, and you shouldn't go there.
Answer:
The answer is indeed the second option: Customers did not enjoy the service they received at the new restaurant.
Explanation:
The reason why we may consider the second option to be formal and the others to be informal is the use of first-person and third-person subjects.
Formal sentences tend not to express the author's or speaker's subjective points of view. Thus, they tend to use third-person subjects.
Informal sentences, on the other hand, do not have such a restriction. They may express the speaker's personal opinion and, for that reason, they may use first-person subjects.
A.That new restaurant is the worst, and I'll never go back there again. --> first person.
B.Customers did not enjoy the service they received at the new restaurant. --> third person.
C.I didn't like the food at the restaurant and thought the service was really bad. --> first person.
D.The service at that restaurant is awful, and you shouldn't go there. --> the speaker, based on his/her own personal opinion, is telling the other person not to do something.
The sentence that exemplifies formal language is 'Customers did not enjoy the service they received at the new restaurant.' as it maintains a professional tone and uses third-person narrative.
Among the given sentences, the example of formal language is: B.Customers did not enjoy the service they received at the new restaurant. This sentence uses correct word usage, a third-person point of view, and avoids personal and emotional language, which aligns with the characteristics of formal language.
Formal language is less personal and more professional in tone, often utilizing complex sentences and avoiding colloquialisms, making it suitable for formal reports, business settings, and academic writing. Sentences A, C, and D include personal opinion and informal speech that are better suited for casual conversation rather than a formal context.

What is a poem?
A poem is a piece of writing in which the words are carefully chosen for their beauty and sound and are carefully arranged, often in short rhymed lines.
A poet is someone who researches and writes poetry. Poets may self-describe as such or be described as such by others.
Assuming that the poet or writer is always the speaker of the poem may be incorrect because the poet may detach himself/herself from the speaker's voice and convey the message through a different person in a variety of situations.

As she was trying to remember if any good movies were coming out this weekend, she noticed a group of kids playing tag.

A group is a group of words that work together to express an idea and can function as a noun adjective verb or adverb
Final answer:
The term 'group' can signify different concepts in various fields, such as a linguistic phrase in English, a social collection of individuals with shared identities in sociology, or a mathematical set with specific properties in group theory.
Explanation:
The term group is indeed an amorphous one and its usage can vary across contexts. In grammatical terms, a phrase is a group of words that works together to express an idea and can function as various parts of speech such as a noun, adjective, verb, or adverb. This is important in understanding language structure because each phrase can operate as a single grammatical unit. For instance, 'the quick brown fox' is a noun phrase that modifies the noun fox and can serve as the subject of a sentence.
When it comes to sociology, a social group refers to a collection of individuals who identify and interact with one another. This can range from a family or a team to larger entities such as companies or local religious congregations. Understanding the use of the word group requires consideration of the context in which it is used, whether that is linguistic, sociological, or mathematical, where a group is a set with a specific set of operations satisfying certain conditions.
In summary, groups can be linguistic phrases, social collectives, or mathematical sets, and their meanings and functions shift depending on their use within a given domain.
A poet fell asleep and had a dream and his dream became a story. This story is called a dream-vision.
True or False
The correct answer is true.
It is true that a poet fell asleep and had a dream and his dream became a story. This story is called a dream-vision.

Usually, this kind of visions or ideas does not come in a waking state.

What would be the effect of including details from daily life in south america in a story?
Answer:
The story would feel realistic to a South American reader.
Explanation:
If you include details of the daily life of a region in your story, you provide realistic details of the culture and population of that place. However, it is important to do a hard research on the culture of the place not to put incorrect information of the daily life because it would not bring the realistic vision desired.
4. Which event is the climax in the passage?
A. Nicolo tells the king where to find the ring.
B. Nicolo is appointed court astrologer.
C. Nicolo’s wife hides under the bed.
D. Nicolo arrives at the king’s court.
The correct answer is A. Nicolo tells the king where to find the ring.
The climax of a story is the turning point, the moment of greatest tension or drama, or the point at which the action starts to resolve. In the passage, the event that stands out as the climax is when Nicolo tells the king where to find the ring. This event is pivotal because it is the culmination of the story's central conflict, which revolves around the king's quest to find his lost ring and Nicolo's efforts to avoid punishment for the perceived theft.
Let's consider the other options to understand why they are not the climax:
B. Nicolo is appointed court astrologer. This event is significant as it sets the stage for the story, but it is not the moment of greatest tension or resolution.
C. Nicolos wife hides under the bed. While this may be a dramatic moment, it is part of the rising action leading up to the climax, not the climax itself.
D. Nicolo arrives at the kings court. This is the beginning of the story and serves as the exposition, introducing the characters and the initial conflict, but it does not carry the same weight as the climax.
Therefore, the event that represents the climax, the peak of the story's dramatic arc, is A. Nicolo tells the king where to find the ring. This is the moment that changes the course of events and leads to the resolution of the story.
