Answer:
The answer is hyperbole.
Explanation:
It's a familiar question.
Also, Hyperbole is an exaggeration. The most blatant display of exaggeration here is the author's description of her laughter.
The following lines show this:
"...and it nearly killed her laughing"
"...she laughed herself lame--she did, indeed;"
She couldn't have possibly laughed herself lame of course but the hyperbole is used in showing how hard she must have laughed at what he was telling her.

Which line's meter is iambic?
A.) At the end of the month, I get paid.
B.) I give the best of all I have to offer Sam.
C.) Quarterly figures are plummeting steadily.
D.) Stopping smoking helps your health.
Answer:
I believe the line whose meter is iambic is:
B) I give the best of all I have to offer Sam.
Explanation:
We can define iamb a a sequence consisting of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one. Therefore, if we highlight the stressed syllable in each line, we will be able to verify which one is iambic:
A) At the end of the month, I get paid.
B) I give the best of all I have to offer Sam.
C) Quarterly figures are plummeting steadily.
D) Stopping smoking helps your health.
All lines present a certain rhythm. But the only one whose rhythm is determined by a pattern of unstressed-stressed (iamb) is line B:
I give the best of all I have to offer Sam.
In the given lines, both A.) "At the end of the month, I get paid" and C.) "Quarterly figures are plummeting steadily" have an iambic meter. The Option A & C.
Which lines have an iambic meter?An iambic meter consists of a pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables where each unstressed syllable is followed by a stressed syllable. In the first line, "At the end of the month, I get paid," the stress falls on the second syllable of each foot (e.g., "end of," "month, I," "get paid") indicating an iambic meter.
In the third line, "Quarterly figures are plummeting steadily," the stress falls on the second syllable of each foot (e.g., "Quarterly," "figures are," "plummeting," "steadily") also indicating an iambic meter.

Find 3 direct quotes in the story that portray how cold it is outside in To Build a Fire
Answer: The quotes "Fifty degrees below zero meant 80 degrees of frost", "The dog made quick efforts to get the ice off its legs." and "As he laughed, he noted the numbness in his bare fingers."
Explanation: The story narrates the experience of the main character facing different challenges that come with coldness. He was not very good at foreseeing the consequences of some facts. He knew "Fifty degrees below zero meant 80 degrees of frost", but he didn't imagine man's weakness to extreme temperatures. It also mentions the experience of his companionship; "The dog made quick efforts to get the ice off its legs." it shows that the dog was struggling with the ice made by the wheather too. And finally "As he laughed, he noted the numbness in his bare fingers.", implying that his fingers were so frozen that he couldn't move them.

I don't think Ravi felt isolated. I think he was bored, and he didn't think the game was very interesting. Like he wanted to hide so that he didn't have to play, and he could just chill and wait it out. Do you agree or disagree with this point of view? Find evidence from the story to support or refute the student's claim. In your response, clarify why you agree or disagree with the student's thoughts.
Answer and Explanation:
Do you agree or disagree with this point of view?
I disagree with this point of view.
Find evidence from the story to support or refute the student's claim. In your response, clarify why you agree or disagree with the student's thoughts.
Ravi is a character in the short story "Games at Twilight", by Anita Desai. He and his siblings are playing hide-and-seek when he decides to hide in the shed where old furniture and broken things are kept. Ravi is excited about the idea of winning the game. He is motivated by picturing himself as a champion who got to win over older, smarter kids. After hiding for hours, he comes out and runs to the "den" to become the desperate winner of a game that had been long over. His siblings had forgotten about him.
Upon this awful realization, Ravi feels completely isolated. He is obviously a young child who is still insecure about his place in the world. That's why he is so desperate to win - to prove something to himself and others. But the fact that he was forgotten is utterly disappointing and hurtful. He does not feel included; he does not want to be included anymore:
And the arc of thin arms trembled in the twilight, and the heads were bowed so sadly, and their feet tramped to that melancholy refrain so mournfully, so helplessly, that Ravi could not bear it. He would not follow them, he would not be included in this funereal game. He had wanted victory and triumph—not a funeral. But he had been forgotten, left out, and he would not join them now. The ignominy of being forgotten—how could he face it? He felt his heart go heavy and ache inside him unbearably. He lay down full length on the damp grass, crushing his face into it, no longer crying, silenced by a terrible sense of his insignificance.

What romantic element is present in this excerpt from “Rip Van Winkle”?
In a long ramble of the kind, on a fine autumnal day, Rip had unconsciously scrambled to one of the highest parts of the Kaatskill mountains. Panting and fatigued, he threw himself, late in the afternoon, on a green knoll, covered with mountain herbage, that crowned the brow of a precipice. From an opening between the trees, he could overlook all the lower country for many a mile of rich woodland. He saw at a distance the lordly Hudson, far, far below him, moving on its silent but majestic course, with the reflection of a purple cloud, or the sail of a lagging bark, here and there sleeping on its glassy bosom and at last losing itself in the blue highlands.
A. The emphasis on individual choice
B. The emphasis on human optimism
C. The emphasis on the beauty of Nature
D. The emphasis on the importance of society
E. The emphasis on scientific discovery
Answer:
The romantic element present in this excerpt from "Rip Van Winkle" is B. The emphasis on the beauty of Nature.
Explanation:
From the excerpt, Rip is described to have climbed one of the highest parts of the Kaatskill mountains , thrown himself on the floor and sit down to observe the beauty of nature.
Right from the mountain, the green knoll is described, the rich woodland of the lower country, the purple cloud, and the blue highlands are all wonders of nature that Rip was admiring in the excerpt before he fell asleep there.
Romanticism is a genre of literary writing that emphasized the individual, nature, and emotions. The romantic element that is present in this excerpt is;
C. The emphasis on the beauty of NatureAs explained above, romanticism stressed love for nature. This is reflected in Rip Van Winkle's admiration for nature.
He admired the Hudson River from the Catskills Mountain. The adjectives that were used to describe this river (lordly, majestic, etc) demonstrate love for nature.
Therefore, option C is correct.

'Agua Viva," a Sculpture by Alfredo Gonzalez: In at least 200 words, explain how the author uses characterization to express and develop one of the themes in this story. Use details from the story to support your response.
Answer:
The author uses characterization to develop the theme of victimization. Fredo is a victim of the bullying of young kids and his isolation. Throughout the story, we watch as the author uses the characterization of Fredo to develop victimization by having Fredo "wake up" to reality. For example, the young neighborhood boys pick on him, " He looked up to see three boys throwing things at him that he could not immediately identify. Nor could he recognize the boys. Were they his son's friends? Where was his son? "Filthy Fredo, filthy Fredo, ya ya-ya-ya," they shouted." When the neighborhood boys do this it wakes Fredo up to reality and he starts to realize that he is being victimized by these young boys. Later when he goes into his house he then realizes how he has become a victim to his own emotions and self-caused isolation. This is when Fredo realizes this, " In the end—after a year—they released him as "traumatized" but "harmless," Here this displays how he has become a victim to his own emotions and he has a traumatic past. Then when he looks in the mirror, " And he turned and gazed in the mirror—what he saw there stopped his heart. In the mirror was the head and shoulders of a man who had not bathed, shaven, or shorn his hair for five or more years and who had not seen himself in that time either." When Fredo looks in the mirror this is when he truly realizes what he has become a victim of over all these years.

Which examples of situational irony does Saki use to create satire? Select two options.
Bertha hopes that she will not be eaten by the wolf, but she is.
The wolf comes to the park to eat pigs but eats Bertha instead.
The children do not think that they are going to like the story, but they do.
The aunt wants the bachelor to learn his lesson, but she learns hers instead.
Bertha thinks that it is good to win medals for goodness, but the medals get her killed.
Answer:
I believe the examples that create satire through situational irony are:
D) The aunt wants the bachelor to learn his lesson, but she learns hers instead.
E) Bertha thinks that it is good to win medals for goodness, but the medals get her killed.
Explanation:
In literature, situational irony takes place when we are led to believe something will take place, but something else that's completely different is the result. It is a plot twist in which a character's actions are twisted into the opposite.
Among the options provided, there are two that represent situational irony in Saki's "The Storyteller". First, there is the aunt's intent to teach the bachelor a lesson. The aunt failed miserably at telling her nieces and nephew a story that was both entertaining and educative. When the bachelor criticizes her, she defies him by asking him to do a better job at telling the children a story. To her surprise and disappointment, he is successful. The children love his story. When the aunt criticizes the lack of moral lessons in it, the bachelor reveals he never intended to teach the kids anything. He just wanted them to be quiet for ten minutes.
Another situational irony concerns Bertha, the character in the bachelor's story, getting killed because of the medals. Bertha believed those medals were precious trophies of her impeccable behavior and goodness. They should, therefore, be a type of reward, something that would make her life better. Instead, their clanking noise is what attracts the wolf and reveals her hiding place.
As we can see, both the aunt's and Bertha's intents were twisted into their opposite, characterizing situational irony.
Situational irony is the type of irony in which the outcome of the action is opposite from the situation. The result of the situation is entirely different from what is expected.
The examples of situational irony that Saki used to create satire are:
D) The aunt wants the bachelor to learn his lesson, but she learns hers instead.
E) Bertha thinks that it is good to win medals for goodness, but the medals get her killed.
In the story "The Storyteller", the stranger tells the story to the children. His story builds interest in the mind of the children. The aunt thought that the stranger's story will not be accepted by the children and that he will understand by himself. But she later understands herself that children have enjoyed the story.
An another example of situational irony is the death of Bertha. Her medals became the reason of her death.
