•How is Ha’s papaya tree doing? How do you know?


•Is the papaya tree healthy or not? What is your evidence?

Answer:

Ha's papaya tree is doing well, for she mentioned how her brothers were able to see a flower and a "baby papaya" on the tree.

The papaya tree is healthy, for Ha describes and states how she'd "rise first every morning [. . .] to witness its ripening.

Explanation:

Thanhha Lai's story "Inside Out and Back Again" is about a young girl, Ha living during the war in the Vietnam War. The story also covers the efforts of the family to escape Saigon and go to America, without their father who's missing fighting at the war.

The story about the papaya tree is from Part I: Saigon where Ha describes her papaya tree that she "flicked into the back garden." The tree is growing, for she explicitly states- "The tree has grown / twice as tall [. . . ] Brother Khôi spotted / the first white blossom [. . .] Brother Vũ later found / a baby papaya / the size of a fist".

The papaya tree is healthy, for her brothers notice a flower and a "baby papaya". Moreover, she ends the section by stating she'd "rise first every morning / to stare at the dew / on the green fruit / shaped like a lightbulb. / I will be the first / to witness its ripening."

What is the answer

from “Labour”
by Thomas Carlyle

The latest Gospel in this world is, Know thy work and do it. “Know thyself”: long enough has that poor “self” of thine tormented thee; thou wilt never get to “know” it, I believe! Think it not thy business, this of knowing thyself; thou art an unknowable individual: know what thou canst work at; and work at it, like a Hercules! That will be thy better plan.

It has been written, “an endless significance lies in Work”; a man perfects himself by working. Foul jungles are cleared away, fair seedfields rise instead, and stately cities; and withal the man himself first ceases to be a jungle and foul unwholesome desert thereby. Consider how, even in the meanest sorts of Labour, the whole soul of a man is composed into a kind of real harmony, the instant he sets himself to work! Doubt, Desire, Sorrow, Remorse, Indignation, Despair itself, all these like helldogs lie beleaguering the soul of the poor dayworker, as of every man: but he bends himself with free valour against his task, and all these are stilled, all these shrink murmuring far off into their caves. The man is now a man. The blessed glow of Labour in him, is it not as purifying fire, wherein all poison is burnt up, and of sour smoke itself there is made bright blessed flame!

Destiny, on the whole, has no other way of cultivating us. A formless Chaos, once set it revolving, grows round and ever rounder; ranges itself, by mere force of gravity, into strata, spherical courses; is no longer a Chaos, but a round compacted World. What would become of the Earth, did she cease to revolve? In the poor old Earth, so long as she revolves, all inequalities, irregularities disperse themselves; all irregularities are incessantly becoming regular. Hast thou looked on the Potter’s wheel,—one of the venerablest objects; old as the Prophet Ezechiel and far older? Rude lumps of clay, how they spin themselves up, by mere quick whirling, into beautiful circular dishes. And fancy the most assiduous Potter, but without his wheel; reduced to make dishes, or rather amorphous botches, by mere kneading and baking! Even such a Potter were Destiny, with a human soul that would rest and lie at ease, that would not work and spin! Of an idle unrevolving man the kindest Destiny, like the most assiduous Potter without wheel, can bake and knead nothing other than a botch; let her spend on him what expensive colouring, what gilding and enamelling she will, he is but a botch. Not a dish; no, a bulging, kneaded, crooked, shambling, squint-cornered, amorphous botch,—a mere enamelled vessel of dishonour! Let the idle think of this.

“Poison” (paragraph 2) refers to which of the following?

I. doubt
II. despair
III. indigation
A.
I only
B.
II only
C.
I and III
D.
II and III
E.

It is no security to wicked men for one moment, that there are no visible means of death at hand. "Tis no

circumstances.
