Read this excerpt from Carson McCullers’s Southern Gothic novel The Ballad of the Sad Café.

The Ballad of the Sad Café
by Carson McCullers (excerpt)

Her marriage had been unlike any other marriage ever contracted in this county — it was a strange and dangerous marriage, lasting only for ten days, that left the whole town wondering and shocked. Except for this queer marriage, Miss Amelia had lived her life alone. Often she spent whole nights back in her shed in the swamp, dressed in overalls and gum boots, silently guarding the low fire of the still.
With all things which could be made by the hands Miss Amelia prospered. She sold chitterlins and sausage in the town near-by. On fine autumn days, she ground sorghum, and the syrup from her vats was dark golden and delicately flavored. She built the brick privy behind her store in only two weeks and was skilled in carpentering. It was only with people that Miss Amelia was not at ease. People, unless they are nilly-willy or very sick, cannot be taken into the hands and changed overnight to something more worthwhile and profitable. So that the only use that Miss Amelia had for other people was to make money out of them.

Which Gothic theme is portrayed in this excerpt?

A. social misfits
B. the supernatural
C. fading beauty
D. damsel in distress
E. descent into madness

Answer 1
I’d say letter B because it sounds like a mystery story and supernatural is like a they hunt for ghost or who ever is missing

Edit the text below.

The text below contains 4 subject-verb errors. Correct them.

Synthetic Plant Creates Fuel from Sunlight

British scientists might of solved one of chemistry’s most difficult issues: the creation of a synthetic leaf.  

Researchers at the Occidental Research Bureau has struggled for three decades to produce a man-made leaf able to absorb CO₂ from the atmosphere and convert it into chemical energy. Yet now it seems that they have at long last achieved their goal.  

“Everyone in the bureau are responsible for this success,” said Professor Giles Smiley, the chief scientist leading the research efforts. The staff’s attitude have been faultless

Answer:

The four errors and their corrections are:

British scientists might of solved --> British scientists might have solved

Researchers at the Occidental Research Bureau has struggled --> Researchers at the Occidental Research Bureau have struggled

Everyone in the bureau are responsible --> Everyone in the bureau is responsible

The staff’s attitude have been faultless --> The staff’s attitude has been faultless

Explanation:

It is common to see "might of" or "could of" being used in informal texts. However, such phrases are incorrect. Their use happens when people confuse the verb "have" with the preposition "of", because they sound similar when pronounced amidst other words. Thus, the first error is "might of", and its correction is "might have".

For the second error, the problem is that the subject is "researchers", which is plural, but the verb form "has" is singular. To correct it, we must use the plural verb form "have".

For the third and the fourth errors, we have singular subjects ("everyone" and "attitude") and plural verbs ("are" and "have"). To correct them, we can use the singular forms "is" and "has", respectively.

Rody knows that if he drinks liquor, he will drink to excess, and will use profane language, which will scandalize those that hear it. He declares, and truly enough, that he hates intemperance, and that he fears the evils of profanity and scandal. Nevertheless, he drinks liquor, and the expected result happens.

Evaluate Rody’s responsibility of his acts.

Answers

Answer:

Rody is responsible for his acts.

Explanation:

Rody is responsible for his acts. He knows the consequences of drinking, but he does it anyway. He might do it due to a lack of self-control or because he considers that the benefits are more than the consequences. We can see that he is capable of thinking, making decisions, and aware of the outcomes that it could bring, so the responsibility of making the right decisions like drinking another beverage or not drinking at all are on him.

In this case, as he decides to drink liquor, which leads to drinking it in excess and misbehave, we can see that he was not responsible for his decisions.

please answers these question and I will mark you as brainlist! ​

Answers

I haven't read the Chapter but have watched the movie, so my answers might differ:-)

1) No, the narrator doesn't come as a selfish. He and Richard Parker (Tiger) were together and on the same boat. He might have thrown Richard off the boat but he let him to stay there. Pi was struggling and starving to survive and so was the tiger. But, Pi, despite of being so hungry and tired, tried to help Richard too. He helped the Tiger by providing him some of the fishes he catched. At last, he also helped Richard to safely get on to the island. So, we can conclude that Pi was very helpful and rather of being selfish, he helped himself and Richard to survive.

2) It was the most adventurous and deadly experience ever. Our ship was wrecked by the storm. The other animals died by drowning but I managed to get on to a boat, with a human. We were struggling a lot but somehow we reached an island, safe and sound after a long journey. The boy helped me with food. I am still very grateful to him.

Questions. 1. According to the author, why does the unknown scare us and what is its link to imagination? 2. Explain Edgar Allan Poe’s ‘’unity of effect’’ and quote the sentence referring to it. 3. Explain the sublime and quote the tex in your answer. 4. Explain the difference between mere physical and supernatural fear

Answers

Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for the answer to present textual evidence. However, I hope it helps you.

Answer and Explanation:

1. The unknown scares us because it is unpredictable and bad things can happen without us being able to avoid or protect ourselves, as we are caught by surprise. This tension and expectation promotes fear and stress and is linked to the imagination, because we spend all the time imagining bad things that can be triggered.

2. The concept of “unity of effect” according to Poe, refers to the idea that a literary work must have all the elements composed to promote an outcome, that is, from the first word the author must construct the text in order to promote a balanced outcome with all textual elements.

3. In the literature, the sublime is a concept that refers to the use of a language capable of promoting thoughts and emotion that lead the reader to transcend common and usual experiences in a positive or negative way.

4. The mere common fear is the fear of real and existing things in the physical world that we know, that is, they are palpable fears, seen by anyone and that can hurt a person in a physical way. Supernatural fear is the fear of supernatural elements, which do not exist in the real world, are not palpable, are not easily visualized and can cause physical and psychological damage.

What part-of-speech goes right before the adjective clause?

Answers

Answer:

With relative pronouns - An adjective clause generally begins with a relative pronoun (that, which, who, whom, whose) that connects the clause to the noun or pronoun it modifies. The relative pronoun shows the relationship between the clause and the antecedent.

All adjective clauses are dependent clauses. A dependent clause is a group of words that consists of a subject and a verb, yet it is not a complete sentence that can stand alone. Adjective clauses begin with a relative pronoun, which connects them to the word they describe, such as:

that

where

when

who

whom

whose

which

why

Once you remember the relative pronouns, it's very easy to pick out an adjective clause in a sentence:

Chocolate, which many people adore, is fattening.

People who are smart follow the rules.

I can remember the time when cell phones didn't exist.

Charlie has a friend whose daughter lives in China.

The wine that vintners produce in Tuscany is not cheap.

The reason why Sandra went to law school is that she didn't want to be a doctor.

Notice that each of the italicized adjective clauses begins with a relative pronoun from the list above. This connects it to the noun being described, which comes directly before the relative pronoun in the sentence.

Each adjective clause above also contains a subject and a verb, all of which work together to describe the original noun being modified. For example, the clause which many people adore contains the subject "people" and the verb "adore," yet by itself it is not a complete sentence. Instead, its job is to provide more information to describe the noun "chocolate."

In some cases, the relative pronoun also serves as the subject of the clause. For example, in the adjective clause who is smart, the relative pronoun "who" also acts as the subject that is smart.

A shanty is 1/12 the size of a normal home.
D) He would gladly trade homes with anyone else.

Answers

Answer:

B)  No shanty comes close to as poor as mine.

Explanation:

Henry David Thoreau's “Walden” is a literary piece that presents the picture of living in the most simple and rustic way. Thoreau experimented the art of living in the most simple way by spending some days in the woods. He listed his feelings and the setting of the place. The piece is considered as his masterpiece that includes the theme of labor, individualism and appreciation for nature. It also highlights the theme of leisure and self-reliance.  

Shanty refers to the house made up of woods without the basic amenities. It is the place to shed a life with simple and rustic living.  

In the given excerpt, Thoreau presents the picture of his shanty and says that his shanty was in a very basic condition. He compares his shanty to all the other shanties and says that no other shanty can be as poor as his.

Answer: B

Explanation:

Each load of furniture passing by, looks as if it has twelve times more things than a typical poor shanty has. However, any given shanty has more than twelve times more things than his own home has. So, no
