(MC) From Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka (1)One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections. The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment. His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked. (2)"What's happened to me?" he thought. It wasn't a dream. His room, a proper human room although a little too small, lay peacefully between its four familiar walls. A collection of textile samples lay spread out on the table –Samsa was a travelling salesman – and above it there hung a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and housed in a nice, gilded frame. It showed a lady fitted out with a fur hat and fur boa who sat upright, raising a heavy fur muff that covered the whole of her lower arm towards the viewer. (3)Gregor then turned to look out the window at the dull weather. Drops of rain could be heard hitting the pane, which made him feel quite sad. "How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense", he thought, but that was something he was unable to do because he was used to sleeping on his right, and in his present state couldn't get into that position. However hard he threw himself onto his right, he always rolled back to where he was. He must have tried it a hundred times, shut his eyes so that he wouldn't have to look at the floundering legs, and only stopped when he began to feel a mild, dull pain there that he had never felt before. Read the sentence from the passage and answer the question that follows: "How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense", he thought. The word "nonsense" suggests that Gregor's situation is

Answer 1

IT IS NOT DREAM, I JUST DID THE EXAM IT IS RUBBISH!

Answer 2

The word "nonsense" suggests that Gregor's situation is rubbish.

Samsa's recent transformation into a vernim, along with the appreciation of the unchanging room he had in his human form and the dull weather, made him get to a point where he determined it was all nonsense, it was worthless and nonsensical, that is to say, rubbish. He wasn't enjoying it that much, he wanted to sleep a little longer to forget all the nonsense.

In what two ways can the climax of a story affect the main character

Answers

1. The main character’s moment of truth (the inner journey point toward which the whole story has been moving)
2. The Climactic Moment Itself (our characters will certainly be flirting with desperation, bordering on temporary insanity. Like a pressure cooker about to erupt, it’s all been building to this. Now it’s time to blow everything up)
The climax would greatly affect the main character in the story. First, the main character will have a shift of situation. In the climax, the main character would have to face conflict in his role. This would change a lot with the mood of the character or even with the attitude of the character. The character would struggle to resolve the problem. Second, the climax will help the main character find out the truth or find the resolution to his problem. Here, he will realize everything that is happening thus he will make an effort to resolve it in different possible ways that he could. 

THE thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge. You, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, that gave utterance to a threat. At length I would be avenged; this was a point definitely, settled --but the very definitiveness with which it was resolved precluded the idea of risk. I must not only punish, but punish with impunity. A wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser. It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong.

It must be understood that neither by word nor deed had I given Fortunato cause to doubt my good will. I continued, as was my in to smile in his face, and he did not perceive that my smile now was at the thought of his immolation.

The verb awake with she is awake or awakens?

Answers

She is Awake
It wouldnt make sense if it said "She is awakens"
Hope this helped :)

The correct option is  she is awake.

The verb  awake  is irregular, and its present tense form is  awake  or  awakens,  while the past tense form is  awoke  or  awakened.  The present participle, which is used to indicate an ongoing action, is  awakening.  When referring to someone being in the state of not sleeping, the correct phrase is  she is awake.  This is because  awake  can also function as an adjective to describe the state of being not asleep.

 Here is the breakdown:

 -  She is awake  uses the verb  to be  (is) followed by the adjective  awake  to describe the current state of the subject.

-  She awakens  uses the present tense form of the verb  to awake  to describe the action of waking up.

-  She is awakening  uses the verb  to be  followed by the present participle  awakening  to describe the process of waking up at the moment.

 Therefore, to express that she is currently not sleeping, the correct phrase is  she is awake. "

Read this excerpt from Jonson’s “Song: To Celia.” Explain the meaning of the lines and the literary devices they employ.

The thirst that from the soul doth rise
Doth ask a drink divine:
But might I of Jove’s nectar sup,
I would not change for thine.

Answers

1. The meaning: the speaker is craving for Celia's love. He wants to quench his thirst not with an actual drink, but with Celia's looks and kisses. In these lines, he confirms that his desire is not only a physical (or even a mortal) one. It is also spiritual and emotional, and can only be satisfied with "a drink divine". He would prefer to drink from Celia's cup that from Jove himself. Jove of Jupiter was the most powerful god in the Roman mythology.

2. Literary devices: the soul's thirst is a metaphor for the speaker's needs and desires regarding Celia. Likewise, "a drink divine" is a metaphor for love, eroticism, everything that the speaker craves for. Those two metaphors correspond with each other: just like a thirsty person needs a drink, so an enamored person needs love (a look, a kiss) of their beloved. Nectar is a mythological drink of gods. Here, it serves as a hyperbole: even nectar, supposedly the most intoxicating drink, is nothing compared to Celia's love.

Answer:

In these lines, the speaker places his desire for his love above that of a soul’s desire for a divine drink. The first two lines establish what is presumed true: souls desire divine drinks. The lines use alliteration (thirst, that, the; doth, drink, divine) and the second line is a foot shorter than the first. These qualities help bring the first two lines to a close, setting up the next lines.

These lines essentially brag that the speaker’s thirst is stronger than the soul's thirst for divine drink. Specifically, he would not trade ("change") Celia’s "nectar" for that of Jove, the Roman god. The words here are fairly common ones, but they are used in a special order and without filling in all the linking words. For example, "might I" means "if I had the chance to," and "sup" means to drink the nectar. By ending each couplet with the rhyming words divine and thine, the poem emphasizes the comparison between the divine nectar and Celia’s nectar, or the nectar of love. Because the  last word is thine, the reader is left with it echoing in his or her mind, giving the lover’s nectar a resounding depth.

Yes, there is a theme on social justice. The author is persuading the reader through writing. She is using the children to introduce topics to the novel that might seem blunt and opinionated if it came from an adult or if the author said it directly.

c) although the sun was too hot for the two children they still begged to head to the beach
d)although the sun was to hoy for the too childrem they still begged to head two the beach

Answers

The correct answer is C. Too=too much, too little
Two= the number 2
To= give to someone, went to the beach

Answer:

c) Although the sun was too hot for the two children they still begged to head to the beach.

Explanation:

In this sentence, "to," "too" and "two" are all used in the right way. The author talks about the sun being "too" hot. This implies that the sun was hotter than the people would have liked it to be. The sentence then talks about "two" children. This refers to the number of children that were present. Finally, when we read that they headed "to" the beach, this indicates a sense of direction.

Kieran eats many fruits and vegetables because he wants to stay healthy. Identify the subordinating conjunction in the sentence.
A.Kieran
B.and
C.because
D.healthy

Answers

C. Because, is the answer.

The correct answer is C. Because

Explanation:

A subordinating conjunction is used to link a dependent clause, which is a phrase that is not complete by itself but provides extra information, to an independent clause which is complete by itself. Subordinating conjunctions include words such as after, before, until, while, because, if, even though, among others. In the case of "Kieran eats many fruits and vegetables because he wants to stay healthy" the independent clause is "Kieran eats many fruits and vegetables" which is the main point of the sentence and a complete sentence by itself, followed by the conjunction or link or the parts in a sentence "because" and finally the dependent clause "he wants to stay healthy" which is subordinating as it depends on the independent clause and cannot exist alone. Thus, the subordinating conjunction is "because" as it is the word that joins the independent clause and the dependent one in the sentence.
