Answer 1

Answer:

The two statements that best express themes in this story are:

A. Community members determine an individual’s social standing and identity  through their personal judgments.

B. When gossip spreads, a person should defend their reputation, no matter the  consequences.

Explanation:

This question is about the short story "Spunk", by author Zora Neale Hurston. The character Joe Kanty is seen by his community as coward, fearful man. He hasn't had the courage to face and fight Spunk Banks, who is Joe's wife's lover. Spunk walks around the town with Lena - Joe's wife -, proudly, knowing that his strength and courage prevents Joe from doing something.

The story shows how the town's men are quick to judge others. They watch as the affair unveils, and even interfere. Elijah teases Joe about the fact that Spunk has just passed by, taking by the arm Lena into the woods. Clearly, their opinion has a great deal of influence over Joe. Even though he is afraid, he chooses to defend his honor and go after Spunk. He does not have a chance, however. He carries only a blade, while Spunk has a gun. Joe ends up killed.

Still, even though he is dead, Joe does not seem to give up. He comes back - at least that's what Spunk and the other characters believe - to haunt him and take revenge. Eventually, he pushes Spunk onto a cutting saw and kills him. It cost him his life, but Joe is finally respected by the men in town. They now see him as brave. Even Joe's father attends Spunk's wake and stands by the his dead body triumphantly.

Why might a public service campaign about recycling

include a video game like this one? Select two options.

to reach a young audience

to reinforce computer skills

to attract high-tech sponsors

to help fund new recycling programs

to teach players about recycling

Answers

Answer:

A. to reach a young audience

E. to teach players about recycling

Explanation:

A public service campaign is an action or outreach effort taken by an institution to raise awareness about a subject of interest. Recycling is the act of converting thrash materials to useful objects. To reach an audience, it is vital to use materials that are appealing to them. A young audience loves video games. So, when video games are used to teach them about a subject, it would more likely reach their hearts.

The second basic reason is to teach players about recycling. Young people should be actively involved in recycling so it would be important to teach them this skill.

Answer:

yes, the correct answers are:

A: to reach a young audience

E: to teach players about recycling

How does the use of simple language and short sentences affect the pacing
of a story?
A. It slows down the action of the story.
B. It provides clues about future events.
C. It describes the events in real time.
D. It speeds up the pacing of the story.

Answers

The correct answer is D. It speeds up the pacing of the story

Explanation:

The pacing in a story is defined by how fast or slow the story moves or develops. For example, if an author uses multiple details just to describe each scene the pace will be slow because the reader will only receive new information after a lot of details and each action will take more time. In this context, using simple and short sentences will make the pace faster because the actions described in the story will occur rapidly and the reader will get new information in almost every new sentence. Thus, the use of simple language and short sentences speeds up the pacing.

Answer:

It speeds up the pacing of the story.

Recognizing Mythical Details
Which mythical features are present in "The Beginning of the Maasai"? Select four options.
be
A B C D E F
cows flying through the air among the dusty clouds
a giant tree connecting the earth and the sky
a volcano erupting
the narrator climbing a fig tree as a young girl
the cattle walking down the branches of the fig tree
the narrator being the granddaughter of a god

Answers

Answer:

A. Cows flying through the air among the dusty clouds .

B. A giant tree connecting the earth and the sky .

E. The cattle walking down the branches of the fig tree .

F. The narrator being the granddaughter of a god.

Explanation:

Mythical features in any form of literature may be identified by the presence of features such as the presence of gods, supernatural beings, connections between them, the out-of-the-world setting, or any form of unrealistic features. Such events which include 'abnormal' things, something which is not possible in the human world, are all features of a myth.

And in "The Beginning of the Maasai", there are several features that seem to point to the mythical aspect of the whole story. The cows flying in the air, a giant tree connecting the earth and the sky, cattle walking down a tree to reach earth, and the narrator being the granddaughter of a god all seem out of bounds for a humanistic aspect of reality. Thus, all these features present in the text make it a mythical one.  

Thus, the correct options are A, B, E, and F.

What literary device is most prominent in this excerpt from Williams’s poem, “The Widow’s Lament in Springtime”?
“though they were my joy / formerly, today I notice them / and turn away forgetting.”

imagery
metaphor
foreshadowing
antithesis

Answers

Answer:

the correct option is D: Antithesis

Explanation:

An Antithesis is a literary device which features opposing or contrary ideas side by side to achieve a contrasting effect.

"Though they were my joy"....then he adds formerly thus negating or reversing the first phrase. The same goes for the second line in the excerpt:

"today I notice them..." then he adds "and turn away forgetting" thus flipping the first part of the sentence. Hence the contrasts are used to creatively highlight his thoughts.
