Read the excerpt from Annus Mirabilis by John Dryden. What viewpoint does the excerpt reflect?
The undistinguish'd seeds of good and ill,
Heaven, in his bosom, from our knowledge hides:
And draws them in contempt of human skill,
Which oft for friends mistaken foes provides.
a.It is hard for humans to evaluate events in terms of potential outcomes.
b.It is difficult for humans to maintain a firm faith in God.
c.It is often difficult for humans to learn from their experiences.
d.It is not possible for humans to be friends with their foes.
e.It is difficult for humans to think well of their enemies.
Answer: The right answer is the a) It is hard for humans to evaluate events in terms of potential outcomes.
Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that this excerpt does not specifically refer to God, but to Heaven. In addition, it does not talk about the difficulty that humans experience to make friends with foes or to think well of them. Heaven is seen here as an omnipotent and powerful force that does not help humans discern the result of a good or an evil action, and, consequently, often confounds them, letting them believe that friends are foes and vice versa. The right answer is, therefore, the A. Humans often act without fully evaluating the consequences of their actions, since they do not have all the information at hand to do so.

Question
. Which figure of speech is used in the bolded line in the following excerpt from this poem by Robert Frost? Nothing Gold Can Stay Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day.Nothing gold can stay.
A. simile
B. personification
C. onomatopoeia
D. metaphor
ANSWER = D. Metaphor
Lets define our figures of speech!
〜 A simile is a sort of comparison made between two things using the words “like” or “as”.
〜 Personification is the act of giving an inanimate object or animal (any non-human entity) features, traits or abilities of a human.
〜 A metaphor is when a word or phrase is applied to an object or action in which the description is not to be taken literally (it is exaggerated).
〜 Onomatopoeia is the use of words that are intended to describe a sound (ie: “crash”, “bang” etc).
From your example; “Her early leaf’s a flower”, we can see what figure of speech is being used.
Simile
• Does it use “like” or “as” to describe an entity?
Clearly, our phrase uses neither of the above words to do the mentioned intention, so it cannot be a simile.
Personification
• Does it describe a non-human object or thing to have humanlike characteristics?
The phrase uses the noun “her” when referring to Mother Nature, which may count as personification.
Metaphor
• Does the phrase describe something in an exaggerated manner to which it is intended not to be taken literally?
The phrase claims that the “early leaf” IS a flower, which is likely not to be taken literally, but more of a symbolic way of describing beauty.
Onomatopoeia
• Does the phrase describe a sound in the text using a descriptive, spelled-out word such as “thud”?
No, the phrase has no form of sound.
From this brief analysis we can deduce that the phrase “her early leaf’s a flower” is a metaphor and uses some extent of personification.
Hope this helps! :)

We have a huge waste-management problem in the United States. On average, over the course of their lives, Americans will throw away 600 times their adult weight in garbage. That translates into a legacy of about 90,000 pounds of trash for a 150-pound adult. Where does all this trash go? Trash is burned, buried, dumped into bodies of water, or recycled. Only the last option is friendly to the environment.
By using materials more than once, we conserve natural resources and the energy needed to create and process new materials. Recycling also reserves landfill space for items that cannot be recycled. Some experts estimate that each ton of recycled paper can save 17 trees, over 300 gallons of oil, 3 cubic yards of landfill space, and 7,000 gallons of water.
Some students feel that the problem is too big to be solved. They do not believe that one person, one school, or even one community can make a difference. That is just not true, because students can do a great deal to help reduce waste. For one thing, students can start a recycling program at school. A committee comprised of students, teachers, administrators, and custodians should plan how to best collect, store, and transfer recyclable paper products. Students and teachers can deposit recyclable paper at a specific location in the classroom. After school, someone can transfer the paper from the classrooms to a storage area, where it can be kept for eventual transport to a recycling center. Someday you might be buying paper made from the material you helped recycle. That is what the process is all about.
What is the central idea?
Recycling is important to solving the waste-management problem in the United States.
The waste-management problem in the United States is too big to be solved.
Students and teachers can deposit recyclable materials in their classroom.
Recyclable materials create about 90,000 pounds of trash during a person’s lifetime.
Which answer choice best states the author's point of view?
It is more important to recycle paper than any other product.
Americans can only do a little to help the environment.
Students are the most important part of the recycling effort.
Recycling will help solve our waste-management problem.
The central idea of the passage is A) Recycling is important to solving the waste-management problem in the United States. As for the author's point of view, the best answer is D) Recycling will help solve our waste-management problem.
The text emphasizes the immense amount of waste produced by Americans and highlights recycling as a key method to mitigate the negative impacts of waste disposal on the environment.The author argues that through recycling, we can conserve natural resources, save energy, and reduce the use of landfill space.For instance, the passage states that each ton of recycled paper can save 17 trees, over 300 gallons of oil, 3 cubic yards of landfill space, and 7,000 gallons of water, indicating the significant impact recycling can have when implemented effectively.Complete question-

Which excerpt from "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" best exemplifies third-person limited point of view?
A. A man stood upon a railroad bridge in northern Alabama, looking down into the swift water twenty feet below. The man's hands were behind his back, the wrists bound together with a cord.
B. He unclosed his eyes and saw again the water below him. "If I could free my hands," he thought, "I might throw off the noose and spring into the stream. By diving I could evade the bullets and, swimming vigorously, reach the bank, take to the woods and get away home.”
C. The soldier reflected. "I was there a month ago," he replied. "I observed that the flood of last winter had lodged a great quantity of driftwood against the wooden pier at this end of the bridge. It is now dry and would burn like tinder.” The lady had now brought the water, which the soldier drank.
D. A whiz and rattle of grapeshot among the branches high above his head roused him from his dream. The baffled cannoneer had fired him a random farewell. He sprang to his feet, rushed up the sloping bank, and plunged into the forest.
