One day during her summer internship, Marcy returned home to write this update in her work journal: We were all sitting at our desks, lost in our workday routines, when the fire alarm sprang to life. We jumped in our seats, but seated we stayed. One by one, we called to each other across the cubicle tops, “Do we have a drill?” “Are they testing the system?” “Should we go outside?” Five minutes later, the fire alarm still beeping, we casually grabbed our purses and our mp3 players, our sunglasses and our key fobs, and strolled out the back door. What conclusion can you draw about Marcy’s workplace given the evidence? A. The building’s managers were testing the fire alarms. B. The workers failed to follow proper fire safety procedures. C. The workers had too much work to do to pay attention to fire safety procedures. D. The employees where Marcy works have had no training in fire safety procedures.
The correct option is B. i.e. The workers failed to follow proper fire safety procedures. The workers at Marcy's workplace failed to follow proper fire safety procedures, as evidenced by their delayed and casual response to the fire alarm. Immediate evacuation upon hearing the fire alarm is the correct protocol.
The conclusion that can be drawn about Marcy's workplace is that the workers failed to follow proper fire safety procedures. When the fire alarm went off, the workers did not immediately evacuate the building as standard fire safety protocols dictate. Instead, they stayed at their desks for five minutes and casually grabbed their belongings before strolling out, indicating a lack of urgency and adherence to fire safety protocols.
Let’s break down the other options:
A. The building’s managers were testing the fire alarms.
This option assumes that the fire alarm was intentionally activated for a test. However, there is no evidence in Marcy’s update to suggest this.C. The workers had too much work to do to pay attention to fire safety procedures.
Marcy’s update does not mention workload or busyness as a reason for their behavior. It merely describes their lack of urgency during the fire alarm.D. The employees where Marcy works have had no training in fire safety procedures.
While the update doesn’t explicitly state whether the employees received fire safety training, it doesn’t provide any evidence to support this conclusion either.The most reasonable conclusion remains option B: The workers failed to follow proper fire safety procedures. Their casual response to the fire alarm suggests a lack of awareness or adherence to safety protocols.

Read the excerpt from Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby. The practical thing was to find rooms in the city, but it was a warm season, and I had just left a country of wide lawns and friendly trees, so when a young man at the office suggested that we take a house together in a commuting town, it sounded like a great idea. He found the house, a weather-beaten cardboard bungalow at eighty a month. Nick’s recent arrival at West Egg and his intention to stay for only a short time underscore the fact that he is not as wealthy as his counterparts. he has just returned from the war. he is being supported by his family. he is an outsider in this community.
Answer: he is an outsider in this community.
One of the reasons why Nick is a good narrator is the fact that he is always somewhat untouched by the problems that we encounter throughout the book. From the beginning, it is clear that Nick is an outsider. He has not been raised in the city with all the luxury that his new friends have enjoyed. Moreover, he does not have the money that other characters have. The fact that he was only planning to stay for a short time demonstrates how he is an outsider in the community.

can you identify any three metaphors Frost uses in the poem birches?
Change the metaphors that you found into similes.
Final answer:
Robert Frost uses several metaphors in 'Birches' to illustrate his interactions with nature. These metaphors can be turned into similes by adding 'like' or 'as'. Examples include comparisons of birch trees bending to a variety of images, now rephrased as similes to maintain the original metaphor's essence.
Explanation:
In Robert Frost's poem 'Birches', the poet uses various metaphors to compare the bending of birch trees to boys swinging on them, among other things. Turning these metaphors into similes involves adding 'like' or 'as' to the comparisons. The three metaphors from 'Birches' and their simile conversions could be as follows:
Metaphor: "Trailing their leaves on the ground like girls on hands and knees that throw their hair before them over their heads to dry in the sun." -> Simile: "Like girls on hands and knees that throw their hair before them over their heads to dry in the sun, the leaves trail on the ground."
Metaphor: "Once they are bowed so low for long, they never right themselves:" -> Simile: "Once they are bowed so low for long, they never right themselves, like a person who cannot recover from a heavy burden."
Metaphor: "You may see their trunks arching in the woods years afterwards" -> Simile: "You may see their trunks arching in the woods years afterwards, like ancient warriors bent by time."
Note that these are not direct quotes from 'Birches' but are examples inspired by the metaphoric style Frost uses in his poetry. In the conversion process, the poetic essence of Frost's original metaphors is maintained, while adhering to the simile structure.
