The good Missionary disgusted with this idle Tale, said, What I delivered to you were sacred Truths, but what you tell me is mere Fable, Fiction and Falsehood. The Indian offended, reply'd, My Brother, it seems your Friends have not done you Justice in your Education, they have not well instructed you in the Rules of common Civility. You saw that we who understand and practise those Rules, believ'd all your Stories: Why do you refuse to believe ours?
How does Franklin use irony in this excerpt from Remarks Concerning the Savages of North America?
by showing the Native Americans' inability to accept the settlers beliefs
by showing the settlers their inability to see the similarities with Native Americans
by showing the difference in the beliefs and their inability to understand one another
by showing that neither the settlers nor Native Americans accepted the others' beliefs
Answer: by showing the settlers their inability to see the similarities with Native Americans
Explanation:
The Indian points out that, whereas they´ve made the effort to accept the Missionary´s Stories, the settlers did not attempt to understand the beliefs of the Native Americans. Considering that missionary work is a way to civilize cultures considered uncivilized, the irony resides in the Indian pointing out the missionary´s lack of common Civility.

They spoke no more until camp was made. Henry was bending over and adding ice to the bubbling pot of beans when he was startled by the sound of a sharp snarling cry of pain from among the dogs. Henry grunted with a tone that was not sympathy, and for a quarter of an hour they sat on in silence, Henry staring at the fire, and Bill at the circle of eyes that burned in the darkness just beyond the firelight.
What is the narrative perspective of this passage?
A. 1st
B. 2nd
C. 3rd objective
D. 3rd omniscient
Final answer:
The first text has a 3rd person omniscient point of view, providing a broad perspective including characters' thoughts. The second text is told from a 3rd person objective point of view, describing actions and dialogue without insight into internal thoughts.
Explanation:
The point of view in the first text is D. 3rd omniscient. This is characterized by the narrative being outside the story and seeing it from a broader angle, having access to the thoughts and feelings of the characters.
The characteristics that help determine this are the descriptive nature of the text and the information given about Bruce Hand's internal state, such as feeling hunger and realizing that Jet is late. We can tell the point of view is not limited because it's not aligning with just one character but rather showing a more all-encompassing perspective.
For the second passage, the narrative perspective is C. 3rd objective. This is indicated by the fact that we are given descriptions of actions and dialogue, such as Henry adding ice to the beans and responding with a grunt, but we are not privy to the internal thoughts or feelings of the characters. The narration provides observations similar to how an audience would see the events unfold, without delving into the characters' mental states.

Bul-GO!-gi “Can you chop the scallions?” Seo-Jun didn't look away from his smartphone to reply to his mother’s request. He was busy texting Vince Cordova about a new show they were planning to binge watch Friday night. “Seo. . . . Seo!” “What?” “What do you mean, 'What’? I need you to chop the scallions.” It was 11:30 a.m., and the Town Pavilion—the office building Ji-Suk's food truck Bul-GO!-gi was parked outside of—was about to unleash a stampede of customers. “I have to get this beef marinating, otherwise in a half hour I'm going to lose a bunch of hungry tax consultants to the chicken and waffle guys across street.” Seo-Jun smiled, but Ji-Suk couldn't see his eyes from under his royal blue cap. Then she realized he was still looking at his phone, which he was concealing below his knees as his fingers tapped the screen. “Hey!” She threw a kitchen towel at him, and it unfurled in midair and landed on his head, draping itself over the brim of his cap. “Okay, okay, I'll do it.”
Ji-Suk had made a name for herself in Kansas City, especially after a local magazine wrote a big cover story when she left her job as an attorney at a law firm after seven years to start a food truck business. If her own mother had still been alive, she would have been quite upset with Ji-Suk for that. Her mother had spent years learning to speak relatively good English, and she’d been determined to make sure Ji-Suk graduated from a respectable college and became a lawyer. Even though she'd made Ji-Suk take Korean lessons every Saturday morning followed by violin lessons in the afternoon—and cooked kimchi and other Korean delicacies with her at least once a week—Ji-Suk's mother had wanted her to succeed by American standards. And she had. She'd become a lawyer, just like her mother wanted, but she'd also learned to love burnt end barbecue, a local culinary favorite. She was an avid fan of the Kansas City Chiefs. She even loved playing softball; she had a wickedly fast windmill pitch, having played throughout college and graduate school and on the law firm's recreational team. Ji-Suk had succeeded by American standards in ways her mother couldn't have imagined, and in ways her mother probably didn't want, but Ji-Suk couldn't do anything about that. She was American, just as much as she was Korean, and even though her mother wouldn't have wanted her to do it, starting the food truck was Ji-Suk's way of honoring her mother and showing that she valued what her mother had taught her. Still, she was determined not to force Seo-Jun to do the things her mother had forced her to do. He wouldn't have to take violin lessons, nor would he have to learn Korean. She was more than willing to let him take Korean lessons if he showed any interest, but he never did. She wasn't sure, however, whether she was doing the right thing, as Seo-Jun didn't seem to want to play sports, nor did he have any serious hobbies. He got by in school, but he didn’t apply himself. He was mostly interested in his friends. She hadn't been any different at his age, and she would have spent most of her time with her friends, too, but her mother would never have allowed it.
Seo-Jun finished chopping a stalk of scallions and put down his knife in order to glance at his phone. “Hey mom, Vince has to do something with his family on Friday night. He asked if we can hang out right now. Would it be okay if I headed over there now?” “Sure.” He tried to read his mother's face, but she just carried on marinating the meat. He grabbed his backpack and threw it over one of his shoulders. Then he headed out the back door of the truck. He looked back at her serving her first guest. She was smiling, but it was a distant smile. Without saying a word, he climbed back into the food truck.
Ji-Suk glanced over but still didn't say a word. He picked up his knife and a handful of scallions and started chopping.Which sentence summarizes a theme of this text?

What conclusion can be drawn about "Your Laughter"?
A. In “Your Laughter,” Neruda writes in an informal tone because he is speaking to someone he knows well.
B. Neruda uses figurative language to not appeal to the senses.
C. Neruda uses figurative poetic devices to make his images more dull and his ideas more evocative.
D. Neruda uses figurative poetic devices to make his images more boring and his ideas more insignificant.
Answer:
I too believe the best answer to be letter A. In “Your Laughter,” Neruda writes in an informal tone because he is speaking to someone he knows well.
Explanation:
In his poem "Your Laughter", Chilean poet Pablo Neruda focuses on the joy that hearing his lover's laughter brings him. To express such happiness, Neruda uses lots of figurative language and imagery, constantly comparing her laughter to things that give life or strength (water and a sword, for instance), and painting a vivid picture of how her laughter makes him happy.
We can, therefore, eliminate options B, C, and D provided in the question. Option B claims the author does not appeal to senses, which is precisely the opposite of what he does. Mostly, Neruda appeals to sight and hearing, since his descriptions are very visual, and his metaphors focus in comparing laughter to elements that can be seen and/or heard (such as a foamy cascade, a flower, a sword). Options C and D claim the poetic devices used make the images dull or boring in order to enhance the poet's ideas. As we can see, the images are made brighter and more vivid, which helps convey his ideas. Thus, the best option is letter A. His language is informal, effortless, despite the several metaphors. He is expressing his feelings easily to someone he knows well.
The full poem is as follows:
Your Laughter
Take bread away from me, if you wish,
take air away, but
do not take from me your laughter.
Do not take away the rose,
the lance flower that you pluck,
the water that suddenly
bursts forth in joy,
the sudden wave
of silver born in you.
My struggle is harsh and I come back
with eyes tired
at times from having seen
the unchanging earth,
but when your laughter enters
it rises to the sky seeking me
and it opens for me all
the doors of life.
My love, in the darkest
hour your laughter
opens, and if suddenly
you see my blood staining
the stones of the street,
laugh, because your laughter
will be for my hands
like a fresh sword.
Next to the sea in the autumn,
your laughter must raise
its foamy cascade,
and in the spring, love,
I want your laughter like
the flower I was waiting for,
the blue flower, the rose
of my echoing country.
Laugh at the night,
at the day, at the moon,
laugh at the twisted
streets of the island,
laugh at this clumsy
boy who loves you,
but when I open
my eyes and close them,
when my steps go,
when my steps return,
deny me bread, air,
light, spring,
but never your laughter
for I would die.

in the wanderer the dominant impression of the speaker's life at sea is one of
Final answer:
The dominant impression of the speaker's life at sea in 'The Wanderer' is characterized by profound loneliness, existential contemplation, and a stark awareness of human insignificance in the face of the immense and indifferent sea.
Explanation:
In The Wanderer, the dominant impression of the speaker's life at sea is one of loneliness and existential contemplation. The extracts provided illustrate a stark contrast between man's struggle and the indifference of nature. The sea is portrayed as a powerful and indifferent force, with the men at its mercy, inducing a feeling of insignificance and vulnerability. Noteworthy is the repeated reference to the indifference of nature, symbolized by the silent sea and the distant, indifferent windmill.
Moreover, the men's predicament and their sense of isolation is emphasized by the gray dawn and the absence of other humans or help from the shore. The speaker contemplates the vastness and the indifference of the universe, recognizing the fine line between right and wrong when faced with mortal peril. This contributes to an overwhelming impression of existential reflection coupled with the raw struggle for survival.

Compare the two poems in terms of presentation, poetic devices, and technique. “The Taxi”by Amy Lowell and “Where Have You Gone”by Mari Evans
Although both “The Taxi” by Amy Lowell and “Where Have You Gone” by Mari Evans deal with emotions of longing, they use different techniques. Lowell uses vivid metaphors and a structured rhythm to portray an urgent emotion, while Evans uses repetition and a conversational tone for a more introspective feeling.
Explanation:When comparing “The Taxi” by Amy Lowell and “Where Have You Gone” by Mari Evans, both poems provide unique insight into the emotions of longing and loss using different techniques and poetic devices. In “The Taxi,” Lowell employs vivid and colorful metaphors, providing a direct and emotionally-charged presentation. The rhythm and meter of the lines carry a sense of urgency, reflecting the speakers' overbearing longing.
On the other hand, Mari Evans’ “Where Have You Gone” utilizes repetition and free verse to convey a more introspective and plaintive tone. Its presentation is more conversational, creating a direct communication between the speaker and the mysterious 'you' that has disappeared.
The two poems, though dealing with similar themes, use distinct approaches and devices to present their ideas, echoing the individuality of the poets’ voices and their unique ways of expressing emotional depth.

Read the excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game,” by Richard Connell. "And now," said the general, "I want to show you my new collection of heads. Will you come with me to the library?" "I hope," said Rainsford, "that you will excuse me tonight, General Zaroff. I'm really not feeling at all well." "Ah, indeed?" the general inquired solicitously. "Well, I suppose that's only natural, after your long swim. You need a good, restful night's sleep. Tomorrow you'll feel like a new man, I'll wager. Then we'll hunt, eh? I've one rather promising prospect—" Rainsford was hurrying from the room. What logical predictions can a reader make based on the excerpt? Check all that apply. The general will retire from hunting in the morning. The general will force Rainsford to participate in the hunt. Rainsford will embrace the general’s ideas as his own. Rainsford will attempt to escape from the island.
Answer:
The general will force Rainsford to participate in the huntRainsford will attempt to escape from the islandExplanation:
If you have read this book you know that Rainsford has a conflict with Zaroff after falling into the sea. This man gets his own island to hunt and is a brilliant sportsman who has developed an innovative type of hunting games. Their basic goal is to train people whose ships are wrecked because it gives them food and knives for a few days. After that, Zaroff begins to hunt them down so they need to survive to win this kind of strange game and stay alive. The worst part is that he kills them if he can find these poor men.
For this reason, based on this, we can conclude that the logical predictions that a reader can make based on the excerpt are:
The general will force Rainsford to participate in the huntRainsford will attempt to escape from the islandAnswer:
The two logical predictions a reader can make based on the excerpt are:
The general will force Rainsford to participate in the hunt.
Rainsford will attempt to escape from the island.
Explanation:
This excerpt of "The Most Dangerous Game" shows the moment after General Zaroff reveals his new hobby of hunting men instead of animals to Rainsford. Since Rainsford is a famous hunter himself, Zaroff hopes that he will be excited by the idea of hunting other human beings. Rainsford, however, is against it, calling it murder.
As we can see in the excerpt, Zaroff wants to show Rainsford his new collection of heads - the heads of the men he has killed -, but Rainsford refuses to see it by claiming he's not feeling very well. He is most likely already thinking of a way to escape. Still, the general is oblivious enough to think he and Rainsford are going hunting the next morning. We know Rainsford is against it, and will probably refuse to do it. But the general has quite a strong personality. From those pieces of information, we can logically predict that:
The general will force Rainsford to participate in the hunt.
Rainsford will attempt to escape from the island.
When evaluating a group's effectiveness, why is it important to evaluate each member, including the group leader?
Because you shouldn't grade or evaluate a group based just on the improper conduct of one individual, you should assess the group's effectiveness as a whole as well as the leader's leadership skills and individual talents.
What is Leadership?Leaders should express their intents, tasks, goals, and even their vision in unambiguous terms. When things are hazy and disjointed, it's difficult to follow. Everyone must be on the same page in order for everyone to work together toward a common objective (or goals).
The ability of a person, group, or organization to "lead," influence, or direct other people, groups, or entire organizations is referred to as leadership, both as a field of study and as a practical talent. The term "leadership" is frequently seen as a contentious one.
What is the goal of leadership? In order for you to succeed as a leader, your leadership purpose should reflect who you are as a person and how you apply those special attributes to your role as a leader. Your values and the things in life that are most important to you are at the forefront of your leadership mission.
