If a reader did not know that Ellery Queen is normally associated with the mystery genre, which sentence would first indicate that "Object Lesson, Part 1" is a mystery?


a) Ellery hurried down West 92nd Street toward the main entrance of Henry Hudson High School stealing guilty glances at his watch.

b) Miss Carpenter, who had come to him with an unusual request, had struck him as the sort of dedicated young person who would not take kindly to a hitch in her crusade.

c) Beyond establishing that the crimes were the work of the same boys, who were probably students at Henry Hudson High School, the police had got nowhere.

d) Miss Carpenter, walking home from a movie late the previous Monday night, had seen three boys dive out of a smashed bakery window and vanish into an alley.


Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

It is between C and D, and likely either would do. Why would anyone (or 3 anyones) jump out of a broken window and head down an alley? Mighty suspicious if you ask me.

As for C, the police are involved, they have established some sort of identity of 3 boys who are guilty of something (crimes) and the school these three go to, the police know nothing. This is not a romance, but it might not be a mystery either.  It could be an identity problem.

I'll choose D because it has better detail.

Answer 2

Answer:

d) Miss Carpenter, walking home from a movie late the previous Monday night, had seen three boys dive out of a smashed bakery window and vanish into an alley.

Explanation:

This is the excerpt that would indicate that this story is a mystery. In this excerpt, we learn of how a person was witness to a crime. We learn that Miss Carpenter saw some boys leaving a bakery and vanish into an alley. They had clearly broken into the business, as the window was smashed. This happened late at night, which increases the mysterious mood of the event.

6 7 8 9 10 TIME REMAINING 58:56 Owen is writing about the central ideas in "Sonnet 18" by William Shakespeare. But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st, Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st, So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. What is the central idea of these lines? The author's loved one will overcome physical death and summer is eternal. Attraction, love, and mild summer days are all fleeting and soon disappear. Beauty is not defined by the outward appearance, but by the character inside. The author's loved one will always remain beautiful in the lines of this poem.

Answers

Answer: A it is Nwoye

Explanation: I got this question correct

Answer:

The answer is A. Nwoye

Explanation:

According to the story, Okonkwo was trying to avoid the “effeminate” personality of his father. He refuses to follow his father's path and decides to maintain masculine ideas. For this reason, he sees his father as a coward, gentle and libertine. Nwoye, his son, identifies better with his grandfather's characteristics, hence the attitude of Okonkwo towards him.

Which statement is true about the differences between dramatic literature and fiction? A. Only fiction has plot elements like rising action. B. Only dramatic literature has characters. C. Only dramatic literature has stage directions. D. Only dramatic literature has dialogue.

Answers

Final answer:

The true statement about the differences between dramatic literature and fiction is that only dramatic literature has stage directions. These directions guide actors' movements and are crucial for live performances, a feature not found in fiction such as novels.

Explanation:

The statement that is true about the differences between dramatic literature and fiction is C. Only dramatic literature has stage directions. While both genres include plot elements such as rising action, characters, and dialogue, stage directions are a unique aspect of dramatic literature.

Stage directions are instructions in the text of a play that describe the movement, position, or tone of an actor, or the sound effects and lighting. Dramatic literature, or plays, conveys the story primarily through the spoken words of the characters (dialogue) and their actions, whereas fiction, such as novels and short stories, may also include detailed descriptions of characters' thoughts and settings which are typically narrated to the reader.

Furthermore, the plot structure in drama must be intentionally formed to elicit a response from the audience during a live performance. Thus, drama not only contains the dialogue typically found in fiction but also the stage directions necessary for performing the script.

Difference Between Observation and Inference

June 6, 2016 By Surbhi S Leave a Comment

observation vs inferenceIn statistics, you have come across the terms, observation and inference, several times. Observation means an act of monitoring, something, i.e. objects, units, persons or anything else, by using senses. In this process, the observer stays at the place of the survey and observes the objects under consideration and notes down the observations himself.

Observation is more of recording or remarking an event or phenomena, whereas an inference is what you make of that observation or what conclusion you draw from it. An inference may or may not depend on the said observation only, it may involve other observations.
