The correct answer is B.) It emphasizes the whimsical tone of the essay affects the tone.
The phrase scraps of useless information as used by George Orwell in the sentence from Why I Write contributes to the overall tone of the essay by adding a touch of lightheartedness and playfulness.
The word scraps suggests small, leftover pieces, which might be considered insignificant or trivial.
Meanwhile, useless information could be seen as a humorous nod to the idea that not all knowledge is practical or applicable in a conventional sense.
By expressing his pleasure in such scraps, Orwell reveals a personal quirk that endears him to the reader and suggests a broader appreciation for life's myriad details, beyond what is strictly necessary or valued by society.
Therefore, the phrase does not make the tone uncertain (A), critical (C), or glum (D), but rather it underscores a tone that is whimsical and somewhat quirky, highlighting the author's individualistic perspective and his love for the richness of life in all its forms."

What does nick mean when he says gatsby turned out alright in the end?
Nick's assertion that 'Gatsby turned out alright in the end' suggests that despite his imperfections and the immoral ways in which he gained his wealth, Gatsby's fundamental character was honorable. This highlights Fitzgerald's intent to present Gatsby's life as a unique yet universally relatable story, and Nick as a flawed narrator allows readers to empathize with Gatsby.
Explanation:When Nick Carraway says that Gatsby turned out alright in the end, he means that despite Gatsby's flaws and the questionable means he used to achieve his wealth, his essential character was noble. Fitzgerald's narrative, told through Nick, shows that Gatsby's story is both singular and universal — uniquely his own, but also reflective of wider human experiences. Nick's role as the flawed narrator adds to the complexity of the character portrayal, suggesting that while we never fully understand Gatsby or his secrets, we are able to see past his failings and recognize his underlying integrity.
The emphasis on individuality in contrast to not representing anything larger like an industrial baron or bootlegger is crucial in this context. By sensibly adjudicating Gatsby's failings and accomplishments, Nick casts a humanizing lens over Gatsby's character arc, which is consistent with the themes of aspiration and disillusionment of the Jazz Age represented in The Great Gatsby.

How many murderers are in this scene? At what time of day does the scene occur? Where does the action occur? Do Banquo and Fleance carry a light? How do the murderers manage to get a light? How does the light go out? How long does the scene last? How quickly does the action unfold? Characterize the dialogue in this scene. What does the murderers' language suggest about them? What are Banquo's last words? What do his last words signify? Does the text show how Fleance escapes?
Answer:
I grabbed this from Octaviana, so these aren't my words, but I hope it helps.
Explanation:
There are three murderers in the scene. The action occurs at dusk (The First Murderer: "The west yet glimmers with some streaks of day.") The scene happens near the palace, in a park. Banquo and Fleance bring a torch to the scene. The First Murderer manages to put out the light, while all three of them attack and kill Banquo. The scene lasts a couple of minutes only, and the action unfolds very quickly. The dialogue is quick, with short, interrupted lines, which is logical considering the fact that this is a murder scene. At first, while they are waiting for Banquo and Fleance to show up, their language is wordier. But then, right before and after the murder, it is swift and abbreviated, telling us that the murderers are members of a lower social class (The Second Murderer: "Then ’tis he: the rest / That are within the note of expectation / Already are i' th' court.") Banquo's last words are that he is betrayed; also, the warning to Fleance to run away to safety. Banquo realizes in an instant that this is a political murder, and that his son is the next potential victim. So, he wants to protect him. We don't see from the text how Fleance escapes.
Answer:
There are three murderers in the scene.
I would say this scene happens at dusk because it says, "The west yet glimmers with some streaks of day". The action occurs, "A Park or Lawn, with a gate leading to the Palace".
Banquo and Fleance do carry a light because the second murderer says he does see a light. "SECOND MURDERER. A light, a light!" I think the murderers manage to get a light by taking someone else's light. Perhaps someone walking on the road near them. "Now spurs the lated traveller apace" The light is accidentally knocked out.
The scene does not last that long because the action unfolded so quickly they barely get to grasp what had happened. And what had happened was that Fleance got away during the fight when the light was knocked out. He escaped when he was supposed to die.
In this scene there are three murderers. At the beginning of the scene they are kind of waiting around for Banquo and Fleance to arrive. And it all happened in such a quick moment they kind of give away that, in my opinion, they from the lower class because the way they talk after Fleance gets away proves that there choice of words is poor and not very " professional". Maybe if they were professional, then one of them would maybe say, "We need to go get him and finish the job" instead of, " SECOND MURDERER. We have lost best half of our affair. FIRST MURDERER. Well, let's away, and say how much is done." They should have found him and killed him instead of just giving up.
Banquo's last words were, "BANQUO. O, treachery! Fly, good Fleance, fly, fly, fly! Thou mayst revenge.—O slave!" I think his last words signify that he wants his son to avenge his dead and get justice for him.
No. The text does not show how Fleance gets away.

Kenneth looked at Kelly and said, "Actually, the dinner you made was not very good. The lasagna noodles were a bit overcooked and the sauce was so watery it ran all over my plate." Which MOST LIKELY describes the tone that the writer will use if Kenneth continues speaking?
Answer:
Annoyed, because she seemed angry that the food is not cooked well and tell it straight to the person's face.
Final answer:
The tone of Kenneth's continued speech is likely to remain critical, as he already has a straightforward approach. His tone could become more severe or specific, expressing dissatisfaction through sensory language.
Explanation:
If Kenneth continues speaking after his initial criticism of the lasagna, the tone he uses will most likely remain critical or negative. Given that he's already provided a frank assessment of the lasagna's texture and the sauce quality, his continued remarks might maintain a similar level of candidness and possibly even increase in severity or specificity.
Kenneth's approach thus far does not come across as casual or colloquial, as would be implied by phrases like 'kind of upset,' but rather direct and standard akin to 'somewhat upset.'
He could very well use sensory language to describe his dissatisfaction, akin to 'Bill sounded angry' when expressing his own feelings, or 'The soup tasted good' when juxtaposing against the less pleasing lasagna.

In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson talks about independence through his use of big words and fancy argument skills. First, Jefferson states his thesis, which makes it seem important that the colonists get independence. Next, Jefferson gives evidence against the king of England and how he mistreats the American colonies. Finally, Jefferson suggests that colonists should stop paying taxes and fight, which is the obvious answer to the colonists’ problems. What is the best way for the student to revise the essay? The student should replace familiar language with more accessible language. The student should replace scholarly language with informal language. The student should replace formal language with more familiar language. The student should replace informal language with formal language.

Explanation:
Edge 2022
The student should revise the essay by adopting formal language to appropriately reflect the significance of the Declaration of Independence and its rootedness in Enlightenment principles.
Explanation:The best way for the student to revise the essay is to replace informal language with formal language. In academic writing, especially concerning documents of historical significance such as the Declaration of Independence, a formal tone conveys the gravity and importance of the subject matter. Thomas Jefferson's writing was influenced by Enlightenment thinkers like John Locke, emphasizing natural rights and the social contract, and was instrumental in articulating the colonies' reasons for separation from Britain; hence, the language used to discuss it should reflect its profound impact.

The answer is D. Reply
Explanation:
In reading, the SQ4R method is one of the most effective for understanding and remembering the information of a text. This method proposes six different stages that should be followed by the reader to guarantee an effective reading. These stages are surveying, question, reading, reciting, recording and revise and in each of them the reader completes a task. For example in surveying the reader look at the elements of the text to get a general idea and in reviewing the reader remembers the information he read. However, "reply" is not one of the components of this method, because it is not included in any of the stages and in the SQ4R method the reader does not need to answer or reply to the text.
Which is the best example of imagery in sec.29 of "the invalid's story"?
A. ...the original smell stood up out of it just as sublime as ever...and my, how rich it was!
B. ...i didn't make these reflections there--there wasn't time...
C. ...and breaking for the platform, thompson got suffocated and fell...
SECTION 29
When they got well started, I couldn't see, myself, how even the corpse could stand it. All that went before was just simply poetry to that smell,--but mind you, the original smell stood up out of it just as sublime as ever,--fact is, these other smells just seemed to give it a better hold; and my, how rich it was! I didn't make these reflections there--there wasn't time--made them on the platform. And breaking for the platform, Thompson got suffocated and fell; and before I got him dragged out, which I did by the collar, I was mighty near gone myself. When we revived, Thompson said dejectedly,--
"We got to stay out here, Cap. We got to do it. They ain't no other way. The Governor wants to travel alone, and he's fixed so he can outvote us."
Answer:
A
Explanation:
There isn't much there that you might consider poetic.
I don't think you need to consider B. It's more a statement of fact. He couldn't reflect on anything. He had no time. I would say the same thing about C. It is more or less a statement of fact.
Your only real choice is A. He is saying something unusual about the nature of the smell -- it's richness.
