Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

She is trying to elicit his sympathy for her.

Explanation:

In her conversation with Gus Trenor, Lily Bart tried to elicit his sympathy for her by narrating the financial troubles she was facing. She narrated to him how she was coerced by Judy to marry a money bag known as Gryce to escape her financial woes. Her self-respect and integrity, however, would not allow her to yield to such an alliance. She rather resolved to go and live with her aunt Richfield.

Trenor was really moved by the story and his sympathy made him volunteer to help Lily Bart invest her money in the stock market. He was an expert in such matters and he believed he could help Lily Bart to get great gains from the investment.

Answers

the answer is nicki minaj
Bryon Douglas is the narrator of the story, in which he tells how he and his foster brother, Mark, grew apart and how he made the decision to turn Mark in for dealing drugs.
Bryon undergoes a major transformation in the story, which begins when he and Mark talk to Mike Chambers and Mike's story of getting beaten up and not wanting revenge resonates with Bryon. When Bryon's mother ends up in the hospital for a month, he decides to clean up his act and get a job. When he finds the drugs that Mark has been selling and connects them with M&M's condition, he decides once and for all that Mark does not know right from wrong and turns him in to the police.

Answers

Answer:

"She 'loathed' the soothing sounds of a mother singing a lullaby to her baby." is used incorrectly

Explanation:

Loathed is used incorrectly, as it is contradicting the rest of the sentence, which confuses the reader. The word loathed means dreaded, and you absolutely hate it. But if you 'loathe' something soothing and happy, that does not make sense.

Describe the historical context of the role of the Dutch and British in regards to the colonization of South
Africa

Answers

Answer:The initial purpose of the settlement was to provide a rest stop and supply station for trading vessels making the long journey from Europe, around the cape of southern Africa, and on to India and other points eastward.

Explanation:The Dutch colonized many parts of the world -- from America to Asia and Africa to South America; they also occupied many African countries for years. From the 17th century onwards, the Dutch started to colonize many parts of Africa, including Ivory Coast, Ghana, South Africa, Angola, Namibia and Senegal.Increased European encroachment ultimately led to the colonisation and occupation of South Africa by the Dutch. The Cape Colony remained under Dutch rule until 1795 before it fell to the British Crown, before reverting back to Dutch Rule in 1803 and again to British occupation in 1806.

A botanist is writing a summary of a study on an invasive species of green algae called starry stonewort. Read the piece of information in each row, then select the section where it fits best.

Answers

Hello. You did not enter the information to which the question refers, which makes it impossible for me to be able to tell you in which section of the summary they fit best. However, in order to help you, I will show you the sections of a summary and what the information contained in it should look like. I hope it helps.

The first section of a summary is called an "introduction." It should contain information that presents the topic on which the abstract will describe, in addition to showing the thesis statement, which is the part of the introduction where the author of the abstract shows what will be addressed and why it will be addressed in the text. In this case, the author can present the plan that will be shown in the summary and the reason that makes him write about it.

Then comes the section called "development" which is the body of the abstract, where the author will place arguments, statements and statements that describe the main theme of the abstract and the questions about the plan that will be clarified. This section can be done by many paragraphs. In this section the author must present all the evidence and bases he has on the topic.

Finally, there is the section called "conclusion" where the author provides information that offers a resolution about what he said, or what he found out about this topic.

Answers

Answer:

Jungles r being destroyed

u can eliminate people while transferring it in to passive

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed { \sf The \ jungle \ is \ being \ destroyed }}[/tex]

Explanation:

In the active voice (the voice the sentence is currently in), the subject performs the verb. It puts the subject in the beginning.

Basically: "the subject does something"

In the passive voice, the subject receives the action from the verb. The subject is placed at the end of the sentence.

Basically: "something is done by the subject"

The sentence is currently: People are destroying the jungle.

To convert it to passive: The jungle is being destroyed by people, or just, the jungle is being destroyed.

Elijah has these thoughts about Buck after reading The Call of the Wild.

1. When Buck is beaten by his new owners, he learns that he must sometimes stop fighting if he wants to survive.
2. When Buck witnesses Curly get killed by the other dogs, he learns that once you go down, it is almost impossible to get back up.
3. Buck learns that he must first kill Spitz (before Spitz kills him) if he wishes to survive.
4. Buck learns that he must sometimes steal and deceive in order to get the food he needs to survive.

Based on these thoughts, which thesis statement would be most appropriate for a literary analysis of themes within the novel?

Based on what happens to Buck within The Call of the Wild, a major theme within the novel is "only the strong and smart survive the wilderness." I agree with this theme.
Buck must learn to adapt with each new lesson he learns within the wild. This makes "only the strong and smart survive the wilderness" a major theme within The Call of the Wild.
In The Call of the Wild, Buck faces many challenges. These challenges show that "only the strong and smart survive the wilderness," and this is a major theme of the novel.
Clearly, as evidenced by events within the passage, a major theme of The Call of the Wild is "only the strong and smart survive the wilderness." Buck learns this lesson the hard way.

Which excerpt is an example of situational irony in Saki’s "The Storyteller”?

“Most of the aunt’s remarks seemed to begin with ‘Don’t,’ and nearly all of the children’s remarks began with ‘Why?’ The bachelor said nothing out loud. ‘Don’t, Cyril, don’t,’ exclaimed the aunt, as the small boy began smacking the cushions of the seat, producing a cloud of dust at each blow.”

“The frown on the bachelor’s face was deepening to a scowl. He was a hard, unsympathetic man, the aunt decided in her mind.”

“She repeated the line over and over again in a dreamy but resolute and very audible voice; it seemed to the bachelor as though some one had had a bet with her that she could not repeat the line aloud two thousand times without stopping.”

“‘It’s the stupidest story I’ve ever heard,’ said the bigger of the small girls, with immense conviction. “‘I didn’t listen after the first bit, it was so stupid,’ said Cyril.”

Answer:

What is Situational Irony?

Situational irony may be defined as a type of irony in which something has taken place that is very different from what was expected previously. It is a type of figurative language which simply that is a literary device that goes beyond the literal meaning of words.

According to the context of this question, Saki's "The Storyteller" describes the themes of moral education, pride, and improper behavior for children in the Edwardian time period. Saki loved to satirize high society in his short stories.

But the sense of situational irony may arise when Most of the aunt’s remarks seemed to begin with ‘Don’t,’ and nearly all of the children’s remarks began with question marks.

Therefore, the correct option is A.
