Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

In “Up the Slide,” the protagonist, Clay, goes in search of dry firewood. He is specifically looking for a dead pine tree that he’s passed earlier. He struggles to navigate the snowy cliff in his search for the tree.

Clay makes several attempts to climb to the tree but slips and slides as he moves across the mountain. Finally, Clay uses his ax to create a path for himself.

He discovers that that there are more dead trees there that have likely not been found by previous hikers because the climb up the cliff was so difficult. He ends up selling the firewood and making a large profit.

what type of phrase is AT THE SHELTER in this sentence

Answers

Answer:

Prepositional

Explanation:

Read the following passage from "The War Prayer":
None could remember the life of it for passionate pleading and moving and beautiful language. The burden of it's supplication was, that the ever-merciful and benignant Father of us all would watch over our noble young soldiers, and aid, comfort and encourage them in their patriotic work.

What device does Twain use to support the mood of the passage?

A. Metonymy

B. Asyndeton

C. Polyptoton

D. Polysyndeton

Answers

Answer:

D. Polysyndeton

Explanation:

Polysyndeton is a literary device in which conjunctions are used repeatedly in quick succession even when they could be omitted. These conjunctions are often not preceded by commas. The purpose of this device is to change the rhythm of the text.

Twain uses polysyndeton twice in the given passage:

None could remember the life of it for passionate pleading and moving and beautiful language. (Instead of: None could remember the life of it for passionate pleading, moving, and beautiful language.)The burden of its supplication was, that the ever-merciful and benignant Father of us all would watch over our noble young soldiers, and aid, comfort and encourage them in their patriotic work. (Instead of: ... Father of us all would watch over our noble young soldiers, aid, comfort, and encourage them in their patriotic work.)

Metonymy is a literary device in which something is referred to by the name of something else closely associated with it (e.g. crown instead of the king or queen).

Asyndeton is a literary device in which conjunctions are omitted from a series of related clauses (e.g. I came. I saw. I conquered.)

Polyptoton is a literary device in which words derived from the same root are repeated (e.g. blood and bleed).

D)The author’s mother tried to make a joke to distract him from his hunger.​

Answers

Answer:

B) The author’s mother got a job and provided for the family after their father left.

C) The author’s mother forced him to stand up to bullies.

Explanation:

Richard Wright's short narrative "The Rights To The Streets of Memphis" is a story about his act of growing up and standing for his own right against bullies. The story delves into the theme of poverty, hard work, tolerance, suffering, and strength.

In the story, Richard learned about the strength and the pains of hunger that will lead him to overcome his dread of going to the grocery store. And through it, his mother helped him realize the strength he needed to overcome his fear and confront the bullies if he wants to survive. His mother took a job, providing a source of income for the thriving family. She also forced him to stand up against the bullies, even at the cost of losing the hard-earned money twice. But this persistence led him to decide to be strong and eventually 'conquered' the "rights to the streets of Memphis".

Thus, the correct answers are options B and C.

Which of these rhetorical devices is most clearly used here?
A. Inductive logic
B. Ethos
C. Deductive logic
D. Logos​

Answers

Answer:

B. Ethos

Explanation:

The rhetorical device that is most clearly used here is "Ethos".

Ethos is known as a rhetoric device which is seen to appeal to ethics and to the credibility of the speaker. The speaker here makes his argument against the opposition of man and not making his own point of view. It's clear that the speaker uses 'ad hominem argument'. In this type of argument, the speaker tends to reproach the personality of the opponent.

As the speaker here uses "ad hominem argument", he tends to make himself to appeal credible to the audience. He makes his argument by criticizing his opponent, the Britain King. He argues that despite they have written petitions for a redress, their petitions were only answered by injury from Britain.

Answer:

Answer is: Ethos

O A sequence text structure is used to describe the order of events at Ellis Island's hospital complex. © Acompare-and-contrast text structure is used to show the relationship between illness and treatment. O A sequence text structure is used to explain the order of events that occurred after an immigrant was detained. O A cause-and-effect text structure is used to explain why immigrants could be detained at the hospital complex​

Answers

Answer:

D). The cause is if the illness was suspected, and the effect is immigrants were detained.

Explanation:

The cause-and-effect structure is primarily used to denote the reasoning for a specific problem or issue and the effects brought by the causes.

The last statement i.e. 'the cause ... detained' aptly relates that the given excerpt from 'Island of Hope' employs the 'cause-and-effect' structure and explains it. In the given paragraph, the organization of the cause 'if the illness is suspected' followed by the effect 'detaining of immigrants' assists the readers to identify the probable consequences associated with the action and understand the idea clearly. Thus, option D is the correct answer.

EZ PTS!! 7 PTS!, What is a satire? What is the difference between irony and satire?, in ur own words, in a simple way/manner (not from google if u dont know the answer then just dont answer!!)

Answers

Answer:

Irony is when something opposite of what's expected happens. For example, a police station getting robbed is ironic. This is situational irony. Irony can also be verbal - when someone says something opposite from what they actually think. If someone says It's such nice weather today! while there is a storm going on outside, they are being ironic.

Satire is the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to mock people's mistakes and vices. It's often used to criticize public figures.
