Answers
1. "If he hurries, he can make the train" is the correct answer because the conditional mood shows under what conditions something might happen. It uses the helping verbs might, could, and would. It deals mostly with hypothetical situations, hence the use of the word "if".
2. "Would" is the correct answer. If we refer back to our answer for number 1, the conditional mood uses the helping verbs might, could, and would.

Answers
Answer:
The correct answers are options a. and c. The following lines from "August Heat" support the theme that people's lives are predetermined.
Explanation:
The short story "August Heat" written by W.F Harvey and first published in 1910, has the main theme that people's lives are predetermined. The following lines support this theme: "It showed a criminal in the dock immediately after the judge had pronounced sentence". This sentence supports the concept of predestination as James Clarence Withencroft drew a man that was a criminal standing in the dock, and will later on enter a shop and find that same man seating in there. Considering the man was a completely stranger at the time James drew him, and a mere product of what he thought was imagination or inspiration, the fact that he was, in deed a real person, talks about predestination. The other line "A sudden impulse made me enter" is much more direct, as it talks about a sudden impulse the character has to enter into a place, where he will meet the man from his drawing.

a.the idea that graffiti can have negative financial effects and the idea that graffiti can have emotional effects

d. the idea that graffiti causes financial damage and the idea that graffiti upsets people because of the financial damage it causes
Answers
Answer:
A. The idea that graffiti can have negative financial effects and the idea that graffiti can have emotional effects.
Explanation:
These are the two ideas that are connected through the use of the word "also." The first part of the passage tells us that graffiti has a large financial impact because it can be expensive to clean. The second part of the passage tells us that graffiti can contain words that upset people. The word "also" is connecting these two ideas. Therefore, the word "also" connects the idea that graffiti can have negative financial effects and the idea that graffiti can have emotional effects.
what might the significance be of liesel dreaming of adolf hitler? - the book thief
Answers
This shows the original opinion of Liesel in which she has not yet been effected by his rise to power. Serves as a contrast to later in the book.
Answer:
It means that Liesel still does not understand the danger that Hitler represents, because his influence and authoritarianism has not yet affected her.
Explanation:
The Book Thief is a book written as a great criticism of Nazi Germany and the suffering caused by Hitler to the Jews and those who helped them in a certain way.
Liesel is the protagonist of the book and at first she doesn't quite understand how great Hitler's power is or what he represents, although she overhears people talking about him. At that moment, she dreams of Hitler and she does not hate him, however, as time goes by and as Hitler begins to interfere in the lives of his friends, his family and even herself, she begins to change her mind about him.

Read the following excerpt from the poem "Mending Wall" by Robert Frost:
Bringing a stone grasped firmly by the top In each hand, like an old-stone savage armed. He moves in darkness as it seems to me, Not of woods only and the shade of trees. He will not go behind his father's saying, And he likes having thought of it so well He says again, 'Good fences make good neighbors.
'Which best describes the speaker's tone in this passage?
A.He fears his neighbor because he threatened him with the stone.
B.He is critical of his neighbor because he believes that he is stuck in the past. C.He admires his neighbor's strength by the way he handles the stone.
D.He mistrusts his neighbor because they have such little interaction.
Answers
Answer: B) He is critical of his neighbor because he believes that he is stuck in the past.
Explanation: this poem tells how the speaker and his neighbor reunite each year to reconstruct the fence that separates their lands, the speaker doesn't understand why they do that, since they don't have any animals to contain, only trees, but the neighbor insists because he follows his father's saying: "good fences make good neighbors", this also demonstrates how the neighbor is stuck in the past, by following an old saying and tradition.

Answers
2. The Power of Sympathy - William Hill Brown. It is considered to be the first American novel, even though it is not a classic novel - it is written in the epistolary form, which means that it takes the form of letters. It tells the story of what can happen if you give in to your passions.
3. The Marble Fawn - Nathaniel Hawthorne. Written in 1860, this novel tells the story of what happened during the American Civil War, but in Italy. It is a romance, which means that the story is about love between the characters, and about their life and struggles.
4. The Red Badge of Courage - Stephen Crane. This is a novel about war, the American Civil War, to be more precise. It tells the story of one soldier who decided to flee the battlefield in the middle of the battle because he was afraid and we can see the consequences of his decision.
5. For Whom the Bell Tolls - Ernest Hemingway. This is another war story, but this time set during the Spanish Civil War. It is one of his most famous novels because it vividly portrays the disasters of wars as the protagonist is told to blow up an entire bridge.
6. a serious analysis of a literary work - literary criticism. The word criticism doesn't necessarily refer to anything bad. It just means that the critic is reading a novel and writing his or her own opinion about that, which could be either good or bad - or they could be completely indifferent.
7. Charlotte Temple - a domestic sentimental novel. Written in 1791 by Susanna Rowson, the novel tells the story of a schoolgirl who starts a relationship with an older man, in which process she gets pregnant and poor and is left on her own to take care of her and her unborn child. The novel was quite successful at the time.
8. Samuel Clemens - Mark Twain. Samuel Clemens is Mark Twain's real name - Mark Twain is just his nom de plume. He decided to use another name so as not to be so easily recognized. He is one of the most important American authors of the Realism era.
9. A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court - a novel of satire. The author, Mark Twain, was a famous humorist and satirist, so obviously this work would represent a satire of sorts. It tells a story of a Yankee engineer who suddenly found himself at King Arthur's court in Camelot.
10. The Grapes of Wrath - John Steinbeck. Steinbeck got a Nobel Prize for Literature for this novel in 1962. The book is set during the era of the Great Depression, and tells a story of a family which is forced to move in order to seek better life conditions during this difficult time in American history.
11. Pilgrim's Progress - allegory. The author, John Bunyan, used names to refer to abstract entities. So, we can find characters such as Obstinate, Faithful, Help, etc. to denote the qualities which they represent by having such names.
12. Yoknapatawpha County - William Faulkner. This place is fictional - Faulkner made it up and included it in his works. According to him, it is located somewhere in Mississippi County, but it is based on a real place called Lafayette County.
Correctly matching works to their authors or descriptions demonstrates an understanding of literature, such as connecting 'For Whom the Bell Tolls' to Ernest Hemingway and 'The Red Badge of Courage' to Stephen Crane.
Explanation:The task of matching works to the author or description involves connecting literary works with their corresponding authors or identifying characteristics. Here are the corrected matches:
The Prairie - James Fenimore CooperThe Power of Sympathy - William Hill BrownThe Marble Faun - Nathaniel HawthorneThe Red Badge of Courage - Stephen Crane (an allegory of the Civil War)For Whom the Bell Tolls - Ernest Hemingway (not a novel of satire)A serious analysis of a literary work is known as literary criticismCharlotte Temple - Susanna Rowson (a domestic sentimental novel)Samuel Clemens is better known as Mark Twain, author of A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's CourtA Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court - Mark TwainThe Grapes of Wrath - John SteinbeckPilgrim's Progress - John BunyanYoknapatawpha County is the fictional setting for many of William Faulkner's novelsEach author's works reflect their unique styles and preoccupations. Ernest Hemingway, for example, notably vibrant with narratives of war and personal struggle as seen in works like For Whom the Bell Tolls. Similarly, William Faulkner's works often take place in the fictional Yoknapatawpha County, where he explores complex social and historical themes.

An allegory for 'don't tell lies' could involve a character whose lies create visible monsters, symbolizing chaos and distrust. With the realization of the damage caused, speaking the truth dispels the monsters, reinforcing honesty as the best policy.
Explanation:Writing an Allegory for 'Don't Tell Lies'
To write an allegory that advises 'don't tell lies', one could imagine a fictional world where every lie creates a tangible, physical monster. These monsters of deception could grow larger and more uncontrollable with each lie told. For example, in this fictional world, there is a young boy named Aiden who tramples upon the truth to avoid trouble and weaves a complex web of lies. As each lie spills from his lips, tiny shadow creatures emerge, unnoticed at first. But as Aiden continues to deceive his friends and family, the shadow monsters grow in strength and number - now visible to everyone - causing chaos and distrust in the community.
A pivotal moment comes when Aiden tells a lie that endangers his best friend. Burdened by the consequences and the terrifying monsters his lies have become, he realizes that only by confessing the truth can he dispel the creatures of darkness. As he speaks truthfully, the monsters shriek and dissolve, and the peace and clarity that had once defined his relationships begin to return. Through this experience, Aiden learns that lies, no matter how small or seemingly harmless, carry a deep cost and the power of truth can heal and mend bonds.
The moral of the allegory resonates with the core message of honesty and its importance in maintaining trust and integrity within social relationships. Just as in the allegory, truth has the power to dispel confusion and bring light to the darkest of situations. This story provides a vivid illustration of the timeless proverb: honesty is the best policy.

Answer:
Run-on sentence mistakes occur when two or more independent clauses are not linked correctly.
Run on sentences are divided into fused sentence (two independent clauses are together without any sign of punctuation or coordinating conjunction that divides them) and comma splice (two independent clauses joined just by a comma).
Explanation:
Fused sentence (no linking word or punctuation mark separating the independent clauses before “he was motivated”): He won the U.S. championship at age 14 he was motivated to train hard for the Olympics.
Fused sentence (no linking word or punctuation mark separating the independent clauses before “his father”): Out of shape, he finished last in the Olympic trials his father, Yukio, was disgusted and desperate.
Comma splice (only comma separating independent clauses, a linking word should be added after the comma): It had food and heat but no phone or television, he told Apolo to think about what he wanted to do.
Fused sentence (no linking word or punctuation mark separating the independent clauses before “he told”): Apolo decided to get serious about his life and his skating he told his father that he didn't want to end up like his friends in Seattle.
Comma splice (only comma separating independent clauses, a linking word should be added after the comma): His hard work paid off in Salt Lake City, he won the gold medal in the 1500-meter event and silver in the 1000-meter.
