Explanation:
The author F. Scott Fitzgerald employed the use of irony and sarcasm in several instances to convey his point of view about society during Gatsby’s time in the story. Note, Irony is a literary device that employs using expressions or actions whose true meanings are actually opposite of what is said or done.
For example, if we could remember from chapter 2 that Myrtle Wilson who is married to a man who isn't affluent, just an auto-mechanic, tries to paint herself as a woman of wealth, saying how it had been difficult to find "suitable help". This is an irony because she doesn't fit such a personality.
How does the king contribute to the central conflict in "Perseus and the Quest for Medusa's Head"?
Perseus holds up Medusa's head and turns the king to stone.
The king requests that Perseus bring him Medusa's head.
The king says that he will never let Perseus marry his daughter.
The king laughs at Perseus and makes him feel ashamed.
Answer
D. The king requests that Perseus bring him medusa's head.
Explanation:
Of the numerous famous mythologies, the story of Perseus and Medusa is one of the most significant. Greek mythologies rely heavily on the gods and their demi-god off springs. Persues is also one such demi-god, the son of Zeus and Danaë.
Danaë's father had been warned by an oracle that his grandson from Danaë will kill him and take his place as king of Argos. In order to stop this from happening, he imprisoned her. But Zeus still impregnated her, resulting in Perseus. Afraid of actually killing a son of God, the king cast the mother-son duo into the sea where they were taken by a fisherman Dictys. Dictys's brother, the king of the land, wants to marry Danaë which Perseus didn't allow. So, Dictys planned for ways to get rid of Perseus.
He asked his men to bring gifts for him so that he will woo Hippodamia. He asked everyone to bring him horses, and he knows Perseus had none. So, Perseus offered to get him anything he requested. Dictys asked for the head of a Gorgon Medusa. This is the main conflict in the story of Perseus and Medusa.

Which phrase in this excerpt from James Joyce's "Araby" is a participial phrase?
North Richmond Street, being blind, was a quiet street except at the hour when the Christian Brothers' School set the boys free. An
uninhabited house of two storeys stood at the blind end, detached from its neighbours in a square ground. The other houses of the stre
conscious of decent lives within them, gazed at one another with brown Imperturbable faces.
The former tenant of our house, a priest, had died in the back drawing-room. Alr, musty from having been long enclosed, hung in all the
rooms, and the waste room behind the kitchen was littered with old useless papers. Among these I found a few paper-covered books,
pages of which were curled and damp: The Abbot, by Walter Scott, The Devout Communicant and The Memolrs of Vidocq. I liked the las

Answer:
North Richmond Street, being blind, was a quiet street except at the hour when the Christian Brothers' School set the boys free.
Explanation:
A participial phrase is a group of words that consists of a participle, its modifiers, and any objects that complete that thought.
Participles are words derived from verbs that can function as adjectives or parts of verb phrases. There are two types of participles:
Past participles - they usually end in -ed (for regular verbs), and less often in -en, -t, -d, and -n (irregular verbs). Example: bake - baked.Present participles - they end in -ing. Example: bake - baking.In the first sentence of the given excerpt, we have one participial phrase: being blind. It consists of the present participle being and a modifier blind.
Answer:
Answer down below
Explanation:
The phrases that considered as participial phrases are:
- Being Blind
- Having been long enclosed
Participles could be identified by spotting additional -ing (for present) or -ed, -en, -d, -t, -n, or -ne (for past) after certain nouns and pronouns that acted as a modifier that changed the meaning of those words

Read the excerpt from The Awakening.
The very first chords which Mademoiselle Reisz struck upon the piano sent a keen tremor down Mrs. Pontellier's spinal column. It was not the first time she had heard an artist at the piano. Perhaps it was the first time she was ready, perhaps the first time her being was tempered to take an impress of the abiding truth.
She waited for the material pictures which she thought would gather and blaze before her imagination. She waited in vain. She saw no pictures of solitude, of hope, of longing, or of despair. But the very passions themselves were aroused within her soul, swaying it, lashing it, as the waves daily beat upon her splendid body. She trembled, she was choking, and the tears blinded her.
Which statement best explains how the excerpt reveals a moment of epiphany for Mrs. Pontellier?
a.She is lost in memories from her past.
b.She recognizes her moral duty to society.
c.She understands exactly what action she must take.
d.She is going through a personal transformation.

What is the meaning of the foreign expression in bold? The Army Art Program began during World War I as a way to record history and boost morale. As part of the artist-in-residence program, eight soldier-artists were given carte blanche to use any style or medium they desired to create art depicting the lives of American soldiers.
Answer and Explanation:
Since this question has no options, I will offer a general explanation of the foreign expression.
The sentence we are analyzing here presents the French expression "carte blanche". Giving someone carte blanche means giving them total freedom to do something. For example: Mr. Johnson gave us carte blanche to choose the theme for our final paper.
In the passage, we are told "eight soldier-artists were given carte blanche". That means they were free to do whatever they chose to; they were free to use "any style or medium" they wanted.

what humor devices are used on this poem?
"One fine day in the middle of the night,
Two dead men got up to fight,
Back to back they faced each other,
Drew their swords and shot each other,
One was blind and the other couldn't, see
So they chose a dummy for a referee.
A blind man went to see fair play,
A dumb man went to shout "hooray!"
A paralysed donkey passing by,
Kicked the blind man in the eye,
Knocked him through a nine inch wall,
Into a dry ditch and drowned them all,
A deaf policeman heard the noise,
And came to arrest the two dead boys,
If you don't believe this story's true,
Ask the blind man he saw it too!"- by Christopher Brookmyre
