Which line provides the strongest evidence that the selection is a work of science fiction?

The paragraph begins by explaining that the described character was walking back home in the month of May, and the author continues providing the description of Jack Durbeyfiel (the character in question).

The two words that describe the character are ‘middle-aged’ and ‘rickety’:

" ...  a middle-aged man was walking homeward... The pair of legs that carried him were rickety, and there was a bias in his gait which inclined him somewhat to the left of a straight line."

When the word "middle-age" is used, the author complements it with the way the character walks, then he uses the word "rickety" and begins to explain that when the character walks there is a bias in his gait inclined to the left. In addition, the author describes certain gestures in the character such as the tic of constant nodding, the empty basket he was carrying, and the ruffle hat that looks old:

"... He occasionally gave a smart nod, as if in confirmation of some opinion, though he was not thinking of anything in particular.  An empty egg-basket was slung upon his arm, the nap of his hat was ruffled, a patch being quite worn away at its brim where his thumb came in taking it off."

The entire description creates the impression of the character as a middle-aged man with rickety walking mainly, the rest of the narrative only complements the main two words used to describe the character of Jack Durbeyfiel. Hence, the rest of the description is not key to picture the character, which means we could picture the character without it, however the extra details is what makes the narrative complete.

Answer:

The two words that describe the impression of Durbeyfield are shabby and thoughtful.

Explanation:

Because of the way he walked and dressed, the impression the author generates on Durbeyfield is that he is a shabby man.

Also by the way he nodded but without paying attention, he shows that he is a thoughtful man, immersed in his own thoughts.

In the first sentence “Filling “is a GERUND. The gerund has the function of a noun and in this particular example it is part of the subject of the sentence. In the last sentence “to run” and “to walk” is an INFINITIVE. Finally, in the third one, “riding” is a PARTICIPLE. A participle has the function of an adjective and in this particular example it is part of a participle clause.

The replacement that would make the response of the students appear more negative is Scorn.

When a person is said to be scornful, it means that they have a very strong dislike for whatever they are scornful towards.  

In using "scorn" to describe the response of the students, the author would be trying to let the reader know how negative the response of the students was.

Alice’s boredom with her lessons. How she feels about the lessons is irrelevant to the strangeness and mystery of wonderland!

“The Texas spirit of fun and hospitality lights up Paseo del Rio, the San Antonio Riverwalk. This  travel destination shimmers with color and light. Along the left bank, two lines of café umbrellas—tropical red, Cancun blue, emerald green, lemon yellow—shelter outdoor diners and adorn the cobblestone walk. Above the rainbow rows of umbrellas, white lights strung between oak trees along the walking path glimmer softly in the dusk.

Miniature lights rim the eaves and roofs of the buildings behind the diners and illuminate the drape of the oak branches bending over them.  

Diners can stay warm on cool, evenings with fajitas and margaritas as they watch the lights of the Riverwalk and the sunset glimmer upon the water. As they watch, a steady flow of trimmed boats putter to midstream from under the bridge on the right side of the river.

On this side of the river, the rock walls and the footbridge showcase the  beauty of the area’s natural elements and earth tones. Lights trace the arch under the footbridge. Luminaries sit atop both sides of the bridge’s stone-grey railings. At the far side of the bridge, more luminaries light the path along the water’s edge.  

People fill the path with laughter and conversation as they stroll beneath trees shimmering with countless lights. All along the river, this canopy of lights buffers the Riverwalk from the buildings rising in the distance. The lights, the good food, the water, the spectacle of color, the festive atmosphere provide a retreat—Texas style!”

In fact, in the second version, the description is nice but lacks the enchantment of details that makes the first one so attractive.  In the first version one can almost feel like if we were in there.  It's fantastic description that motivates us to rush traveling there.

Hello!

Personification happens when you assign the qualities of a person to something that isn't human or that isn't even alive.  On the other hand, methapor is saying one thing when you really want to say other one: is a figure of speech that describes an object or action in a way that isn't literally true.

Correct answers are:

It creates the impression that the world of nature is alive with interactions

It suggests to readers that the moon, unlike the grass, is not moving.

Hope this helps

1- The answer to question 1 is: " it creates the impression that the world of nature is alive with interactions." The grass does not dance , in fact the wind makes it move. In the poem, the grass dances to the tunes the wind plays. The interaction is here. The wind does not play music ; it makes some sound while the air moves, though. This dance between the grass and the wind is what creates the impression the world of nature is alive.

2- The answer to question 2 is: " It helps readers to better imagine the motionlessness of the moon in contrast to the movement of the dune grass." " But the moon above is a statue." The use of "but" shows the contrast between the movement of the grass and the motionlessness of the moon. Besides, a statue is a motionless object and silent.

"You might go back to school as the job market isn't getting any better"

Explanation:

The sentence contains the structural error which has been modified in the above example. It illustrates the warning signs to the students considering the feeble growth of the job market and its impotence to produce more opportunities in the future. It suggests the students beware of the forthcoming job crisis which may lead them back to the school. Thus, they should focus on their studies in order to meet the needs of competitive job markets of the future with their intellect and knowledge. This implies them to invest in studies to be future-oriented.

It seems like all of the words contain the suffix "ment", which means action or result.

C. Nora decides that her decisions to be a wife and raise children were wrong, so she is leaving in order to educate herself properly.

In "A Doll's House", by Henrik Ibsen, Nora's character develops the theme that taking ownership of your own life is sometimes necessary because Nora decides that her decisions to be a wife and raise children were wrong, so she is leaving in order to educate herself properly. This story criticizes strongly the norms of the nineteenth century when women had to obey their husbands.

The answer to which one is a hyperbole is letter D

Hyperbole, an exaggeration used for emphasis, is the target of the question. Without the excerpt from Angela's Ashes in question, it's impossible to specify which statement contains hyperbole.

The question asks which statement from the Angela’s Ashes excerpt features hyperbole. Hyperbole is a figure of speech that involves exaggeration for emphasis or dramatic effect. However, without the actual excerpt from Angela's Ashes, it is difficult to identify the hyperbolic statement. Generally, hyperbolic statements exaggerate reality beyond belief for dramatic effect. An example of hyperbole would be 'I'm so hungry I could eat a horse,' where the speaker doesn't literally mean they could consume an entire horse, but rather wants to emphasize their intense hunger.

The options for this question are:

A) Can be as effective as the standard form of English.

B) limit a speaker’s ability to stand up for herself.

C) make communication difficult between cultures.

D) are used more by older adults than by younger adults

Answer: A) Can be as effective as the standard form of English.

Explanation: In the given excerpt from "Mother Tongue" we can see the description of a situation where the speaker's mother is making herself clear when communicating with the boss. The speaker refers to her mother's speaking as "impeccable broken English" this expression helps to give the idea that nonstandard forms of English can be as effective as the standard form of English.

The inference suggested by this excerpt is that nonstandard forms of English can be as effective as the standard form of English. (first option)

Inference is the act or process of inferring, which means reaching a conclusion based on information you have. The information we get from the passage is that Mrs. Tan, although speaking with a "broken" English, could effectively yell at the stockbroker.

The inference we can make from that piece of information is that her nonstandard English is as effective as the standard form of English. Even if her grammar is wrong, she can still convey her ideas and feelings.

Final answer:

The author uses a persuasive strategy of presenting a rational compromise between two extremes, acknowledging counterarguments and refuting opposing views to strengthen their position.

Explanation:

The method the author is using to persuade his audience is most accurately described by Option A: The author presents his position as a rational compromise between two extreme positions. This persuasive strategy is elucidated in the provided material, emphasizing the importance of considering different viewpoints and appearing fair-minded by acknowledging counterarguments.

The discussion highlights that effective persuasive messages often present two sides of an argument and refute the opposing side, which leads to the conclusion that presenting a position as a rational compromise is a recognized persuasive technique. The author may use phrases such as "While it is true that______, I argue because" to signal this concession and compromise approach.

Commas, dashes, and parentheses can all be used to include an example within a sentence. Commas must be correctly placed to avoid a choppy sentence. Dashes can be used when you want to emphasize the example, and parentheses are used when the example is an aside or extra information.

The best form of punctuation for including an example within a sentence largely depends on the context and the sentence's flow. However, all three options - commas, dashes, and parentheses - can potentially work. For commas, you can use them to add an example, but they must be appropriately placed to prevent the sentence from becoming choppy or unclear. For instance, the sentence 'I love fruits, for example, apples and oranges,' uses commas to introduce the example.

On the other hand, dashes, work best when you intend to put emphasis on the example. The sentence 'I love fruits - for example, apples and oranges -.' Here, the dashes highlight apples and oranges as examples of fruits I love.

Lastly, parentheses are used to insert an example in a sentence that is an aside or extra information. For instance, 'I love fruits (e.g., apples and oranges).' Here, the example is contained within the parentheses and considered extra information that does not interrupt the sentence's flow.

No punctuation is typically not suitable as it can cause confusion.

The best form of punctuation for including an example within a sentence can depend on the context. However, all three options — commas, dashes, parentheses — can be used effectively. Commas are generally used to separate items in a list, or to offset nonessential information in a sentence. Dashes can be used to insert an extra thought or clarification into a sentence. Parentheses are typically used to add supplemental or explanatory information that is not integral to the main point of the sentence.

For example:

With commas: 'She loves gardening, such as planting flowers, herbs, and vegetables.'

With dashes: 'He loves visiting Europe — especially Italy, his favorite country.'

With parentheses: 'Mary is studying biology (her favorite subject) at the university.'

Explanation:

I do not agree with the statement "the school ‘s current policy should be changed to allow students to carry them".

Students should use cell phones for :

i. additional learning outside their school curriculum,

ii. developing skills via watching tutorials on online etc,

iii. developing research skills by finding relevant information.

However, hardly few students use cell phones appropriately.The major chunk of students use mobiles in wrong ways, like, watching bad content, playing online games, passing time on social media. All such things decrease the productivity of the students & fill their mind with lot of un-necessary content.

Hence, I strongly feel, cell-phones should be banned in school. Also, their usage should be restricted at homes too.

The question revolves around whether school policies should allow cell phones for student safety, considering both their benefits for communication and productivity, as well as potential drawbacks like decreased attention and increased stress.

The debate over whether schools should change their policies to allow students to carry cell phones for safety reasons involves understanding the various impacts of these devices. Cell phone ownership has become ubiquitous in the United States, aiding in communication and simplifying planning and productivity. However, it also comes with downsides, as referenced by Smith (2012), who notes that some individuals find it more difficult to disconnect from work, focus on the people around them, or concentrate on a single task due to their phones.

On one hand, the text acknowledges the positive impacts of cell phone usage, such as staying in touch and increasing productivity. On the other hand, it addresses the social and psychological drawbacks, like the challenge of maintaining undivided attention and managing stress related to constant connectivity.

The presence of cell phones in schools intersects with a variety of issues, including classroom management, as professors may need to address disruptions caused by phone use, emphasizing the need for balance between the benefits of accessibility and maintaining an environment conducive to learning.

The lengths and angles of similar triangles will depend on the types of triangles that they are. The three types of triangles are: equilateral, isosceles and scalene. An equilateral triangle, is also known as a regular polygon and has sides that are all equal in length. The angles of an equilateral triangle, also all measure 60 degrees. An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length, and also two angles of the same measure. In an isosceles triangle these equal angles are opposite the two sides of equal length. A scalene triangle has sides that are all different lengths, and so also angles that are all of a different measure. Triangles can also be classified by the measure of their internal angles: a right triangle has one of its internal angles measuring 90 degrees, oblique triangles do not have a 90 degree internal angle, acute triangles have all internal angles measuring less than 90 degrees, and an obtuse triangle will have one internal angle measuring more than 90 degrees.

When you have similar triangles you can get:

1) The measure of their corresponding angles are congruent. it does mean that are equal.  it is very important to know when you are going to calculate a geometric figure.

2) The lengths of their corresponding sides. The measurements in millimeters of the sides opposite these angles  ( mentioned before) have a ratio or constant, of similarity that is  the quotient the sides opposite to equal angles is constant.

A similarity they both share is the fact that the death of multiple man is heavily present in both stories however their locations and background are completely different.

Final answer:

Jack London's "War" and Ambrose Bierce's "A Horseman in the Sky" both explore war themes, but do so using different narrative styles and thematic focus reflecting their individual writing styles and literary influences. While London employs naturalistic themes of man versus environment, Bierce delivers a psychological exploration of personal moral dilemma on the battlefield. Both authors contribute richly to the American literary tradition, addressing the enduring human struggles in wartime.

Explanation:

Jack London's "War" and Ambrose Bierce's "A Horseman in the Sky" are notable examples of American literary works exploring the complexities and brutalities of war. Both stories address the harsh realities of conflict and the personal struggles of individuals within these wartime settings, showcasing the writers' critiques of warfare. Jack London's work often reflects themes of survival and existential struggle, drawn from influences such as Darwin, Marx, and Nietzsche, which can also be found in his stories set against the backdrop of nature and human endurance like "To Build a Fire." On the other hand, Ambrose Bierce's "A Horseman in the Sky" reflects the personal conflicts and moral dilemmas faced by soldiers during the Civil War, adding a psychological dimension to his portrayal of war's impact.

The two stories, while both centered on war themes, remain distinct in their narrative style, the elements of conflict they portray, and their thematic emphasis. London's "War" deals with the larger conflict between man and environment, a common thread in his naturalistic stories, while Bierce focuses on the very intimate and personal experience of a soldier faced with an impossible moral choice, characteristic of his more psychological and realist writing style. Despite these differences, both London and Bierce successfully convey the tension and the tragic nature of war, leaving a lasting impact on American literature. Their works contribute to a greater understanding of the human condition during the turmoil of conflict, an understanding that resonates through the 20th century and beyond.
