Which sentence in the excerpt best supports the theme of harmonious living?

A Spark Neglected Burns the House

by Leo Tolstoy (adapted excerpt)



There once lived in a village a peasant named Iván Stcherbakóf. He was comfortably off, in the prime of life, the best worker in the village, and had three sons all able to work. The eldest was married, the second about to marry, and the third was a big lad who could mind the horses and was already beginning to plough. Iván's wife was an able and thrifty woman, and they were fortunate in having a quiet, hard-working daughter-in-law. There was nothing to prevent Iván and his family from living happily. They had only one idle mouth to feed; that was Iván's old father, who suffered from asthma and had been lying ill for seven years. Iván had all he needed: three horses and a colt, a cow with a calf, and fifteen sheep. The women made all the clothing for the family, besides helping in the fields, and the men tille

Answers

Incomplete question. The remaining part of the excerpt reads;

"The women made all the clothing for the family, besides helping in the fields, and the men tilled the land. They always grain enough of their own to last over beyond the next harvest and sold enough oats to pay the taxes and meet their other needs. So I  and his children might have lived quite comfortably had it not been for a feud between him and his next-door neighbor, Limping Gabriel  son of Gordéy Ivánof.

As long as old Gordéy was alive and Iván's father was still able to manage the household, the peasants lived as neighbors should. If the women of either house happened to want a sieve or a tub, or the men required a sack, or if a cart-wheel got broken and could not be met once they used to send to the other house, and helped each other in a neighborly fashion. When a calf strayed into the neighbor's  thrashing-ground, they would just drive it out, and only say, "Don't let it get in again: our grain is lying there." And such things as locking the barns and outhouses, hiding things from one another, or backbiting were never thought of in those days.

That was in the fathers' time. When the sons came to be at the head of the families, everything changed."

Answer:

"So I  and his children might have lived quite comfortably had it not been for a feud between him and his next-door neighbor, Limping Gabriel  son of Gordéy Ivánof..."

Explanation:

The theme of harmonious living is made evident by the above statement made by Iván. We need to remember that to live hamoniously involves having a life free of disagreements.

However, as stated by Ivan achieving that kind of harmonious life (free of disagreemennts) was'nt possible because of "a feud between him and his next-door neighbor."

0.1n + 0.05(n – 175) = 13.30
0.1n + 0.05(175 – n) = 13.30

Answers

Answer:

William Bradford.

Anne Bradstreet.

Explanation:

Excerpt written by Willian Bradford, in the poem "A word to New England":

"Oh New England, you can not boast;

Thy former glory thou hast lost.

When H00ker, Winthrop, Cotton died,

And many precious ones beside,

Thy beauty then it did decay,

And still doth languish more away. "

William Bradford was one of the first American writers, being one of the most important in the literary production and in the general history of the country. He was a Puritan, served as governor of the Plymouth colony and is the author of the most important account of English colonists and the difficulties they faced on the new continent.

Excerpt written by Anne Bradstreet, in the poem "Upon a Fit of Sickness":

"Bubble blast, how long can'st last?

That always art a breaking,

No sooner blown, but dead and gone,

Ev'n as a word that's speaking.

The whil'st I live, this grace me give,

I doing good may be,

Then death's arrest I shall count best,

because it's thy decree. "

Anne Bradstreet is recognized as the first poet within the territory where the USA is today. She never went to school, but she learned to read and write with her father who was instrumental in her education and one of the main responsible for her ability. She was also a Puritan, but she was not well regarded by other Puritans for displaying behavior considered wrong for that society, such as a woman writing and showing love for her husband.

How did King Minos test Perseus's claim to be a demigod? What happened?

Answers

This may be wrong because I haven't heard this story in a while, I've forgotten the names so I could be referring to a different version of Perseus's story

Answer:

King Minos tested Perseus's claim to be a demigod by tasking him with the retrieval of Medusa's head. While this seemed like an impossible task, Perseus was granted Athena's shield which had such a shine to it that it was almost a mirror(and another gift from the god, I believe it was Hermes's boots but am not sure). As Perseus arrived at the Temple of Medusa, the gorgon heard him and attempted to sneak up on Perseus. While she was extremely quiet, Perseus spotted her reflection in Athena's shield and cut off Medusa's head. He brought the head back to King Minos to prove himself.

What is an adverb?

An adverb is a word or an expression that generally modifies a verb, adjective, another adverb, determiner, clause, preposition, or sentence. Adverbs typically express manner, place, time, frequency, degree, level of certainty, etc., answering questions such as how, in what way, when, where, and to what extent. This is called the adverbial function and may be performed by single words or by multi-word adverbial phrases and adverbial clauses.

Adverbs are traditionally regarded as one of the parts of speech. Modern linguists note that the term adverb has come to be used as a kind of catch-all category, used to classify words with various types of syntactic behaviour, not necessarily having much in common except that they do not fit into any of the other available categories.

The English word adverb derives from the Latin adverbium.

Do people care about the Pandemic or Not? If yes, why are the cases of the Virus are increasing instead of decreasing? Write atleast 10 Sentences.​

Answers

Many people do care about their community's welfare and hence decide to follow the protocols set by their government . But here comes some people who either aren't aware of the seriousness of the situation or thinks that it is something that can be easily resolved and are hence acting careless . But the pandemic is not as simple as it looks . Many doctors are dying and getting ventilators ( negative pressure and positive pressure ) is getting difficult day by day . Even if a person gets access to good artificial respiration ( ventilation ) there stands a problem of enduring the pain of the long moving process . In cases of corona virus patients , ventilation in the form of tracheostomy is used . Here they connect a long tube from the throat of a patient to their thoracic cavity where the trachea is present . This process is very painful and involves a lot of will power from the patient's side as well as the doctor's to keep the patient's breath under control . But many people , who aren't aware of the situation's seriousness go about here and there . What they dont realize is that they may come in contact with potential carriers of the virus . So , according to me the cases of virus affected patients are increasing instead of decreasing due to many people lacking the knowledge of how serious the situation is .

Answer:

I do not think people care as much anymore.

Explanation:

I think this because so many have been couped up for so long people want to go out and socialize and stuff like that. Trump is an anti-masker so people are going to think that they should as well (not to be political but it's true). Lots of people also underestimate the power of the virus, so they do not protect themselves. Some schools reopened and allowed students back in (like mine did then immediately 2 cases formed up). The virus is a problem in the US right now and a lot of people are not taking the safety precautions to help it not spread so it will just keep on going and spreading.

Answer:

A narrative poem has a setting and characters

Explanation:

A narrative poem has a setting and characters, A narrative poem does not rhyme and Narrative poetry tells a story is true about narrative poetry. Hence, option A, C and E are correct.

What is a narrative poem?

A poem that narrates a tale is referred to as a narrative poetry. It constructs a narrative using literary devices one could typically find in a poem, like rhyme, rhythm, similes, and metaphors. In general, narrative poems are lengthier than other types of poetry and describe a single, overarching tale much like a novel.

Most often, the narrator of a narrative poetry is the sole speaker and tells the full tale from start to finish. For instance, the mourning man who narrates Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" relates his odd encounter with a raven and his spiral into despair over the course of 18 stanzas.

A longer type of poetry known as a narrative poem tells a whole story with a beginning, middle, and end.

Thus, option A, C and E are correct.
