Answer:
'The Black Cat' is told from the perspective of an insane narrator who, in his own words, does not expect the reader to believe him. He tells the reader up front that he is scheduled to die the following day, but the reader doesn't find out why until the end of the story.
After setting up his story from this perspective, the man tells the reader about a cat named Pluto he used to have as a pet. He describes Pluto as a remarkably large, beautiful animal, entirely black. The narrator's wife jokes that the cat might be a witch in disguise, given its unusual intelligence. The narrator and Pluto have a close bond. He takes care of Pluto, and Pluto follows him everywhere around the house. It is a very tender relationship.
Then, everything goes wrong. The narrator, an alcoholic, starts getting angry at everyone. He mistreats his wife and their other animals, but he never hurts Pluto. But one night, the narrator comes home drunk and thinks Pluto is avoiding him. He grabs the cat, who bites him. In retaliation, the narrator cuts out one of the cat's eyes.
After he sleeps off his drunken state, the narrator is horrified about his actions. It is not enough to get him to stop drinking, though. The cat's eye socket heals, but Pluto and the narrator no longer have a good relationship. Pluto starts to avoid the narrator all the time. Instead of feeling remorseful, the narrator just feels irritated at the cat's behavior.
The narrator hangs the cat 'in cold blood' from a tree. That night, his house burns down. The narrator, his wife, and their servant all escape the fire unharmed, but the fire destroys his home and all of his possessions. When the narrator returns to the ashes later, he sees the figure of a cat on the only surviving wall.
Months pass. The narrator sees a cat remarkably similar to Pluto, except that on his chest is a white patch. The cat follows him home. At first, the narrator likes the cat, but soon he can't stand the cat at all, especially after he notices that one of its eyes is missing.
The more he hates the cat, the more the cat likes him. The narrator cannot bring himself to hurt the cat because he is afraid of it. The white shape on its chest morphs into a gallows, a direct reminder of his crime against Pluto.
Eventually, the narrator is driven so mad that he tries to kill the cat with an axe. His wife intervenes, and the narrator ends up killing his wife. He decides to conceal the body inside his house, behind the wall of the basement.
The narrator looks for the cat, but it is missing. For three nights, he sleeps undisturbed by the cat. Then, on the fourth day, police come to his house to ask questions about his wife's disappearance. During their investigation, the narrator raps on the wall he has rebuilt to conceal his wife's corpse. The noise of him knocking causes the cat, which had accidentally become sealed inside the wall, to howl, alerting the police to the presence of the narrator's wife.

In your opinion what is loyal, what is brave and what is true?
Answer:
Loyal: when someone is always there for you no matter what
brave: when you take the risk of doing something that no one else would
true: when their is no doubt that something is worng
Explanation:
Answer:
in my opinion, loyal is standing up for what you love, even through the break ups of friendship or relationships, you never go with somebody else and do the same things you did with the other person. Being brave is stepping out of your comfort zone and doing things you wouldn't necessarily do. Being true also goes hand in hand with being loyal, you are owning what up to what you committed to since the start.

Describe how the personality differences
between the two sisters became quite
evident at the store.
Explanation:
Dee is a modern girl, while Maggie is a traditional girl. Dee gets an opportunity to pursue her higher education in the city, while Maggie stays at home with Mama. It is through education that Dee is exposed to modern sophistication. Dee has always been apprehensive of the traditional lifestyle, but when she shows up at the family homestead, she seems to have developed a strong interest in the family’s way of life. Dee is bold, but Maggie is extremely reserved. Maggie is a shy girl, and she often keeps to herself. Her personality is a a result of a scar she has on a face after she suffered from a fire accident that burned their house down when she was young.
Mama compares to Maggie in that she is comfortable with the traditional lifestyle. She also compares to Dee in that she is confident and refuses to be intimidated by her eldest daughter.

What are Ophelia’s, Laertes’s, and Polonius’s view of Hamlet?
Answer:
The fundamental reasoning behind Laertes' objections to Ophelia's relationship with Hamlet mainly lies in true care and concern for his sister while Polonius' objections lie mainly in his concern for his image and his power. Laertes' advice can be seen as a true desire for the well being of his younger sister.
Polonius sternly echoes Laertes' advice and forbids Ophelia to associate with Hamlet anymore. He tells her that Hamlet has deceived her in swearing his love and that she should see through his false vows and rebuff his affections. Ophelia pledges to obey.
Polonius always thinks Hamlet is crazy!
Ophelia indicates that she will remember Laertes's advice when she says, “I shall the effect of this good lesson keep”

Chinese sounded pedestrian. a. musical
b. soothing
c. common
d. abrasive
Answer: c. common
Explanation: Linguists classify all varieties of Chinese as part of the Sino-Tibetan language family, together with Burmese, Tibetan and many other languages spoken in the Himalayas and the Southeast Asian Massif. Although the relationship was first proposed in the early 19th century and is now broadly accepted, reconstruction of Sino-Tibetan is much less developed than that of families such as Indo-European or Austroasiatic. Difficulties have included the great diversity of the languages, the lack of inflection in many of them, and the effects of language contact. In addition, many of the smaller languages are spoken in mountainous areas that are difficult to reach and are often also sensitive border zones. Without a secure reconstruction of proto-Sino-Tibetan, the higher-level structure of the family remains unclear. A top-level branching into Chinese and Tibeto-Burman languages is often assumed, but has not been convincingly demonstrated. The first written records appeared over 3,000 years ago during the Shang dynasty. As the language evolved over this period, the various local varieties became mutually unintelligible. In reaction, central governments have repeatedly sought to promulgate a unified standard.

In the third sentence of the first paragraph, the narrator’s description of Mrs. De Ropp as “those three-fifths of the world that are necessary and disagreeable and real” suggests that
Mrs. De Ropp is a sensible individual who earns Conradin’s respect
Mrs. De Ropp is a strict person who fails to appreciate Conradin’s creative spirit
Mrs. De Ropp has no real understanding of Conradin’s medical condition
Conradin, unlike Mrs. De Ropp, views the world through a rational and precise lens
Conradin has no understanding of the value system that Mrs. De Ropp upholds
Answer:
Mrs. De Ropp is a strict person who fails to appreciate Conradin’s creative spirit
Explanation:
According to the third sentence of the first paragraph, where the narrator describes Mrs. De Ropp as “those three-fifths of the world that are necessary and disagreeable and real”, this suggests that she is a strict person who fails to appreciate Conradin’s creative spirit.
This is because it implies that she is disagreeable and does not necessarily like or appreciates how creative Conradin really is.
