In Ezra Pound's "In A Station of the Metro," Pound refers to the people at the station as “petals,” creating an image of beauty and delicacy. His use of the word “apparition” makes the people seem
A.ghostly.
B.ghastly.
C.scandalous.
D.unattractive.
Answer:
Hi! In Ezra Pound's In a Station of the Metro, his use of the word apparition makes the people seem ghostly. The correct answer is A.
Explanation:
I chose the first option because the word apparition can only be related to ghosts. Ghastly means awful, scandalous means shocking, loud, and unattractive is something not pretty. The word apparition is related to something that appears unexpectedly, all of a sudden. Something that wasn't supposed to be there, or at least that nobody had seen until a certain moment. Something that was already there, but wasn't able to be seen, like a ghost. That is why I chose A.

“They made her a grave, too cold and damp
For a soul so warm and true;
And she’s gone to the Lake of the Dismal Swamp,
Where, all night long, by a fire-fly lamp,
She paddles her white canoe.
“And her fire-fly lamp I soon shall see,
And her paddle I soon shall hear;
Long and loving our life shall be,
And I’ll hide the maid in a cypress tree,
When the footstep of death is near.”
Who is the speaker in this section of the poem?
the maiden paddling the canoe
the lover searching for his lost bride
an unknown observer of the incident
the hired paddler of the canoe
Kimani stops at a watering hole, where hippos grunt in mud-baths,
Baboons play in a nearby tree, like children out at camp
The underlined portion of the stanza is an example of which sound device?
onomatopoeia
assonance
alliteration
rhyme
Answer:
A. Onomatopoeia
Explanation:
If the underlined portion of the stanza is where hippos grunt, then it is an example of the sound device known as onomatopoeia. Onomatopoeia is a figure of speech in which sounds coming from nature are imitated (ex. POP! BANG! WOOSH!). So, the verb 'grunt' evokes some animal sounds that can be heard in nature.

Why is seletive media useful?
Which sentence uses who correctly?
A.Who is the person that I should call?
B.From who did you receive the call?
C.To who are you speaking?Who did you call?
Answer: The sentence that uses "who" correctly is A. "Who is the person that I should call?".
Explanation: "Who" is a relative pronoun that is used to replace a noun. Moreover, "who" should always be used to refer to the subject of the sentence. Sentence A. uses this pronoun correctly because it is functioning as the subject ("who" can be replaced with "she" or "he"). In contrast, in sentences B. and C., the pronoun is acting as object of the preposition and not as the subject; therefore, "who" has not been used correctly. In these two sentences, "who" should be replaced with "whom".
“Slaves are in the power of masters, a power derived from the law of nations: for among all nations it may be remarked that masters have the power of life and death over their slaves, and that everything acquired by the slave is acquired for the master.
But at the present day none of our subjects may use unrestrained violence towards their slaves, except for a reason recognized by law. For, by a constitutio of the Emperor Antoninus Pius, he who without any reason kills his own slave is to be punished equally with one who has killed the slave of another.”
—The Institutes, Book I, Chapter VIII
According to the above law, which of the following statements is true?
Violence towards slaves was not tolerated under any circumstances.
Masters were allowed to kill their own slaves, if they had a reason for doing so.
Masters were allowed to kill another master’s slaves, if they had a reason for doing so.
Slaves had legal rights to keep their earnings for themselves.

Famous singers stay at our hotel; so should you! Which logical fallacy is used? hasty generalization circular reasoning bandwagon appeal either/or argument
The correct answer is C. Bandwagon appeal
Explanation:
A fallacy refers to a statement in which the reasoning or arguments provided have mistakes or are faulty, despite they may look as valid. Considering there are different issues that occur during the process of argumentation and reasoning there are also multiple fallacies, for example, the hasty generalization, bandwagon fallacy or appeal or the red herring fallacy. In the case of the bandwagon appeal, this fallacy occurs when the speaker or writer conclude something is true just because a lot of people believe it or support the idea.
This is the case of the sentence "Famous singers stay at our hotel; so should you!" in which the author tries to persuade the audience by stating they should stay in the hotel just because many other people and especially famous people have stayed there. Therefore the logical fallacy is the bandwagon appeal or bandwagon fallacy.

Fiscal policies establish a government’s plans for taxation and
Answer:
SPENDING
Explanation:
Fiscal policies establish a government's plans for taxation and spending. Fiscal policy is the policy under which the government uses the instrument of taxation, public spending and public borrowing
What are fiscal policies?Fiscal policies is defined as the policy under which the government uses the instrument of taxation, public spending and public borrowing to achieve various objectives of economic policy. Simply put, it is the policy of government spending and taxation to achieve sustainable growth.
Fiscal policy is often contrasted with monetary policy which is regulated by the central bank. It is largely inspired by the ideas of British economist John Maynard Keynes whose theories were developed in the response to the Great Depression and were hugely influential in the formulation of the New Deal in the U.S. that aimed at huge spending for public projects and social welfare development. When policymakers want to influence the economy, they mainly have two tools at their disposal, Monetary policy and Fiscal policy. The monetary policy is regulated by the central banks.
Money supply in the market is adjusted by tweaking the interest rates, bank reserve rates, sale and purchase of government securities and foreign exchange.

An important element of an autobiography is self-evaluation or introspection. Which sentences in this excerpt from the Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin show the narrator's introspection?
In truth, I found myself incorrigible with respect to Order; and now I am grown old, and my memory bad, I feel very sensibly the want of it.
But, on the whole, tho' I never arrived at the perfection I had been so ambitious of obtaining, but fell far short of it, yet I was, by the endeavour, a better and a happier man than I otherwise should have been if I had not attempted it; as those who aim at perfect writing by imitating the engraved copies, tho' they never reach the wish'd-for excellence of those copies, their hand is mended by the endeavor, and is tolerable while it continues fair and legible.
It may be well my posterity should be informed that to this little artifice, with the blessing of God, their ancestor ow'd the constant felicity of his life, down to his 79th year, in which this is written.
I hope, therefore, that some of my descendants may follow the example and reap the benefit.

What effect does Shakespeare's uneven use of iambic pentameter have on the reader?
A.Readers become confused, which leads them to question the language and their understanding of it.
B.The language seems familiar, allowing modern readers to better understand the meaning of the play.
C.Certain lines stand out, making them seem more important than others.
D.The audience focuses on the main action of the play, which keeps them engaged.
The correct option is C (Certain lines stand out, making them seem more important than others.)
Explanation:By breaking the unfaltering rhythm and calming heartbeat mood of lub-DUB, lub-DUB every two syllables, Shakespeare deliberately makes a discord that makes listeners' ears liven up and pay heed. It works a similar route in melody.
At the point when a performer all of a sudden syncopates the mood or ventures out of the matchup, it makes individuals all of a sudden tune in. What's more, similar to great performers, Shakespeare constantly figured out how to determine the discord, the syncope, after he had made his point, after he had made heard what he needed to make sure was heard, and lift the mood up once more.

"How shall we extol thee, who are born of thee? Which term best describes the poetic device contained within these lines from "Land of Hope and Glory?"
Identify the figure(s) of speech in the following example. "If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head."
apostrophe
implied
metaphor
metonymy
personification
simile
Metaphor
We use metaphors when we take a word or a phrase to refer to something else, whether by symbolizing it or suggesting that is similar to another thing, person, idea, quality. Thus, they can not be taken literally.
The sentence "If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head." uses this figurative language by comparing "hairs" to "wires", perhaps because of their physical appearance.
"Ni kan," my mother said, calling me over with hurried hand gestures. "Look here." I could see why my mother was fascinated by the music. It was being pounded out by a little Chinese girl, about nine years old, with a Peter Pan haircut. The girl had the sauciness of a Shirley Temple. She was proudly modest like a proper Chinese child. And she also did this fancy sweep of a curtsy, so that the fluffy skirt of her white dress cascaded slowly to the floor like petals of a large carnation. In spite of these warning signs, I wasn't worried. Our family had no piano and we couldn't afford to buy one, let alone reams of sheet music and piano lessons. So I could be generous in my comments when my mother bad-mouthed the little girl on TV. "Play note right, but doesn't sound good! No singing sound," complained my mother. "What are you picking on her for?" I said carelessly. "She's pretty good. Maybe she's not the best, but she's trying hard." I knew almost immediately I would be sorry I said that. "Just like you," she said. "Not the best. Because you not trying." She gave a little huff as she let go of the sound dial and sat down on the sofa.
What does the dialogue between the characters reveal about Suyuan's character?
She'd rather have the little girl on TV as a daughter than Jing-mei.
She is disappointed that Jing-mei has low expectations.
She's going to buy a piano for Jing-mei.
Answer: She is disappointed that Jing-mei has low expectations.
In this excerpt, we witness a conversation between mother and daughter. The mother is watching a little girl play the piano, but she does not believe she is particularly good. The daughter defends her, by saying that at least she is trying. The mother then uses this opportunity to tell the daughter that she is similarly not trying, but that is she did, she could do great things. This shows that the mother is disappointed at the daughter for having low expectations of herself and not trying hard enough.
