Read the excerpt from "The Revolt of Mother.". The woman stood for a moment looking after him, then she went out of the barn across a corner of the yard to the house. The house, standing at right angles with the great barn and a long reach of sheds and out-buildings, was infinitesimal compared with them. It was scarcely as commodious for people as the little boxes under the barn eaves were for doves. Which is the correct definition of the word "infinitesimal" based on its usage in the excerpt?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: extremely small

Explanation:

The correct definition of the word "infinitesimal" based on its usage in the excerpt means extremely small.

From the excerpt, we are informed that "the house, standing at right angles with the great barn and a long reach of sheds and out-buildings, was infinitesimal compared with them". This implies that the house was extremely small when compared with them.

Answer 2

Answer:

C. extremely small.

Explanation:

The word "infinitesimal" means "minute, tiny, extremely small," even to the extreme of being considered uncountable or difficult to be considered. The word is used to describe or refer to things that are small, more than the normal small.

In the given excerpt from the short story "The Revolt of 'Mother'," by Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, the writer used the word "infinitesimal" to refer to the house. And based on how it is used to talk about the house, we can infer that it meant the house was "extremely small", even comparing it to "the little boxes under the barn eaves" that were for the doves.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

The substance that makes the blood red is an iron containing protein known as hemoglobin

Answers

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

In Biology, blood pH can be defined as a measure of the hydrogen ion (H¯) concentration of blood i.e the level of alkalinity or acidity of blood.

Basically, the normal blood pH of a human being should be between 7.35 and 7.45.

Hence, one of the ways in which the body regulates blood pH is with proteins by accepting and releasing hydrogen ions. Typically, when the blood pH falls, the hydrogen ions (H¯) are accepted (absorbed) while hydrogen ions are released when the blood pH rises.

A protein such as haemoglobin which makes up a composition of the red blood cells, binds an amount of acid required to regulate blood pH.

Hence, the substance that makes the blood red is an iron containing protein known as hemoglobin.

c.
These lines contain alliteration, which creates rhythm.

d.
These lines give human abilities such as singing and language to nature.

e.
These lines use a simile to show the power of nature.

Answers

"He watches from his mountain..." E) These lines use a simile...

A simile is a comparison using like or as. In this example the author is comparing the person falling to a thunderbolt. This comparison shows nature's power.

"As long as I live..." D) These lines give human abilities...

By describing the birds, winds, and waterfalls as singing, the author is giving these non-human things human-like qualities. This is also known as personification.

"I'm only a child..." B) The passage of prose contains a metaphor...

The passage says that "we are all part of a family". This shows how everyone is connected in this metaphor of everyone being in the same family and sharing air, water, and soil.

"I have seen flocks streaming south..." A) These lines contain a hyperbole...

The description of the birds stretching across the entire sky all day long is an over exaggeration of how many birds were actually flying south. While there may have been many, it would not have covered the whole sky, all day long.

"O if we but knew what we do..." C) These lines contain alliteration...

Alliteration is the repetition of the same sound at the beginning of a group of words to create a sound effect. In this passage the "w" sound is repeated to give the passage a rhythm.

Answer:

O if we but knew what we do When we delve or hew—Hack and rack the growing green!"

Write an analysis of how the poet uses pivotal words and phrases to describe the qualities of a heart and what a heart may represent.

Answers

Hello. You forgot to say that this question is about the poem "Heart to Heart."

Answer and Explanation:

The poet uses Pivotal Words to create subjective metaphors and sentences while describing the heart. This makes the text more poetic and with a deeper meaning. Among these words, the author shows how a passionate heart looks, how easy it is to distribute it, how the heartbeat is powerful, how the heart offers itself, has desires and cannot be free.

It is necessary to reinforce that Pivotal Words are the prepositions and conjunctions that the author uses to reinforce his ideas in a more subtle way, while providing links between sentences.
