Answers

Answer 1

The correct answer is D. Shakespeare was careful about how he portrayed rulers in his plays because rulers often funded his work.

Explanation:

In literature, the context of the writer refers to the historical, political, social, cultural, and economic conditions in which the writer wrote the literary work. This also includes important events such as revolutions and wars.

One statement that focuses on this aspect is "Shakespeare was careful about how he portrayed rulers in his plays because rulers often funded his work" because this refers to the real political context of the writer, in this case, the type of government in England and how this was related with Shakespeare and determined the way Shakespeare refer to rulers in his works.

How does Maniac keep John McNab from fighting with Mars Bar?

Answers

Answer:

When a fight nearly broke out between John McNab and Mars Bar, Maniac stepped in and simply led Mars Bar away from the McNab home.

Explanation:

Maniac was instrumental in bringing Mars Bar to the McNab's home for the birthday party. But Mars Bar was uncomfortable being in a white home and the McNab family were uncomfortable having a black in their home. When the McNab boys played the game "blacks and whites", it made Mars Bar very uncomfortable.

Maniac's purpose of inviting Mars Bar to the birthday party was to teach Mars Bar about the white people and to teach the white about the blacks. But it wasn't actualized.

"Maniac Magee" is a story by American author Jerry Spinelli. The story's themes center on racism and inequality. It tells the story of an orphan boy who was looking for an abode and a home in the fictional town of Two Mills. Two Mills is a town which was torn between the East and West, blacks and whites.

O Jonah's two ultimate goals are becoming a published columnist and to write a book.

Answers

Answer:

O Jonah has two ultimate goals: becoming a published columnist and writing a book.

Explanation:

Parallel structure in any given sentence is the use of the same grammatical structure or construction in the sentence. This repetition of the grammatical form in a single sentence allows for better readability and understanding, also making it easier to be framed.

In the given sentence, parallelism occurs in the use of the "verb+ing" in the words "becoming" and "writing". It presents a smooth flow of words and the sentence construction makes for perfect rhythm. Thus, the correct answer is the first option.

Answer:

B. False

Explanation:

Answers

This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.

Read The Black Man's Burden , by Reverend H.T. Johnson  (1899)

Why do you think the poem mentions Cuba and Hawaii? Consider both islands' histories and relationships with colonizers and the United States.

African Americans, were against the idea of the “white man’s burden”, so H.T. Johnson published The Black Man's Burden to represent that unease feeling about a new empire in the Caribean by the United States, which aimed for power over Cuba, Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico.

This poem was Johnson´s response to Rudyard Kipling´s “The White Man’s Burden: The United States and the Philippine Islands” which called the United States to conquer non-white countries as a moral responsibility.

The main reason why the poem mentions Cuba and Hawaii is:

To show that the people were uneasy about US occupation.

Read this passage from Napoleon’s diary about religion. Based on this passage, which statement best sums up how Napoleon viewed religion in the French empire? Catholicism should be the official religion of France. All people should have the right to choose how to worship. The people of France must choose whether they want to be Catholic, Muslim, or Jewish. People in France are assured of going to Paradise.

Answers

It was by becoming a Catholic that I pacified the Vendée [region in western France], and a [Muslim] that I established myself in Egypt; it was by becoming ultramontane that I won over public opinion in Italy. If I ruled a people of Jews, I would rebuild the temple of Solomon! Paradise is a central spot whither the souls of men proceed along different roads; every sect has a road of its own. Read this passage from Napoleon’s diary about religion. Based on this passage, which statement best sums up how Napoleon viewed religion in the French empire? Catholicism should be the official religion of France. All people should have the right to choose how to worship. The people of France must choose whether they want to be Catholic, Muslim, or Jewish. People in France are assured of going to Paradise.

Answer:

The statement that best sums up how Napoleon viewed religion in the French empire was that  All people should have the right to choose how to worship.

Explanation:

From the passage above, Napoleon understands the importance of freedom of religion and the uniqueness of different religious beliefs because he knew that he would have to try and please different people based on the religious belief he chose.

If he was a Catholic, he would have to pacify the Vendee and if he was to become a Muslim, he would have a strong base in Egypt, etc so because of this knowledge he believed that everyone had the right to choose how to worship.

I had gone for a long run during the day, my legs; however, were not tired.
No one showed up for the after school program still; we had a good time.
The park was closed; therefore, we decided to play soccer in my backyard instead.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - The park was closed; therefore, we decided to play soccer in my backyard instead.

Explanation:

Let’s go through the process of elimination to get to the correct option.

A) Is not correct because the conjunction BUT requires a comma, not a semicolon.

B) Is not correct because the semicolon here doesn’t make sense because of the order of words in the sentence. If the sentence said: I had gone for a long run during the day; however, my legs were not tired - then the semicolon would be correct.

C) Is not correct because the semicolon should come before the word STILL, not after it.

D) Is the correct answer as the semicolon is properly used to separate two independent sentences.

Warren St. John

Whose thoughts and feelings are revealed in the first two sentences?


What conclusion can be drawn based on the thoughts and feelings that are revealed?

Answers

Answer:

The young boys' thoughts and feelings are revealed in the first two sentences.

We can conclude that through their reaction to seeing the woman coach, their society discriminates against the women and make them inferior to the men.

Explanation:

Outcasts United by Warren St. John tells the story of how a soccer team emerged from the refugees in the Georgian town of Clarkson despite their own misfortunes and even enmity among themselves. The effort of the coach Luma, who was also a female, and the common perception of not only the Americans but even the refugee families she's helping all acts as obstacles for the success.

From the given excerpt, the first two sentences reveal the thoughts and feelings of the young soccer enthusiasts who all came from different backgrounds and nationalities.

These thoughts on realizing that their coach is a female is rather shocking for them. Coming from backgrounds and nations (especially Muslim countries) that seems to be prejudiced against the female sex, the young boys find it hard to accept and believe that they will be taught soccer or even play under a women coach. This shows that society prioritizes men over women, thus making them inferior to the men.

when a monster in a story does not have the ability to communicate, what is the most likely result?
A. Other character will fear it because they cannot understand what it wants.
B. The monster will harm everyone that it sees.
C. Other characters will ignore it, and the story will end.
D. The monster will surrender and let other characters restrain it.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is option A. Other character will fear it because they cannot understand what it wants.

Explanation:

If a monster cannot communicate, the mere fact of being a monster would make people afraid of it.

There are many stories where we can see "friendly monsters" but if you think about it, it is because those monsters can talk or exchange their feelings with the human in some way.

If a monster appears, and it has no way of telling you what it wants, your instinct will be to be scared and run away from it.

Given this information we can say that the correct answer is option A.
