BRAINLIEST 5 STARS AND A THANKS!!!
Reread this passage fromThe Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and ask yourself what theme in the novel is supported by the passage.

Benjamin, once he left the hospital, took life as he found it. Several small boys were brought to see him, and he spent a stiff-jointed afternoon trying to work up an interest in tops and marbles--he even managed, quite accidentally, to break a kitchen window with a stone from a sling shot, a feat which secretly delighted his father. Thereafter Benjamin contrived to break something every day, but he did these things only because they were expected of him, and because he was by nature obliging.

Which of these statements expresses a theme that is supported by this passage?
A. The physical changes caused by aging often lead to changes in a person's goals and expectations.
B. A person's physical appearance affects the way he or she is understood--or misunderstood--by other people.
C. What society expects a person to do has a stronger effect on behavior than personal preferences or desires.
D. The feelings and behaviors associated with youth are mostly a result of inexperience.

Answers

Answer:

In my opinion, sleepwalker is much alike to daydreaming.

Explanation:

Your mind is somewhere else but your presence is in a place you do not know you're still in. In life, we are sometimes sleepwalkers; not literally walking while asleep, but continuously going with the flow of life without knowing the purpose why you are still striving to live everyday. And I think it's normal, it happens to everyone. Maybe time will come you'll also realize your purpose.

The choice of three caskets to win the right to marry is key to both passages. How is this choice presented differently in Passage 2 (The Merchant of Venice)?


All three caskets contain valuable treasures.


The text reveals the thought process of the person choosing.


The person who is to be married is the one who presents the caskets.


It is clear that the person who is to be married wants the suitor to choose correctly.

Answers

Answer:

The text reveals the thought process of the person choosing.

Explanation:

this is what I think if I get it wrong at least I tried

The choice is presented differently in the text "revealing the thought process of the person choosing." Therefore, option (b) or (ii) is the correct answer.

What were the three criteria for selecting the casket?

Three caskets—one made of gold, one of silver, and one of lead—are displayed to potential partners as part of the test. The suitor wins Portia's hand if he selects the right casket.

The gold coffin represents avarice, as well as superficial, materialistic people who place more emphasis on appearance than on content.

The person who chooses the coffin containing Portia's image will be able to wed her.

If the wrong casket is selected, he must remain single, keep his choice a secret, and depart right away. The Prince of Morocco is the first potential suitor.

Therefore, option (b) is the correct answer.

Read this paragraph from chapter 5 of The Prince.

But when cities or countries are accustomed to live under a prince, and his family is exterminated, they, being on the one hand accustomed to obey and on the other hand not having the old prince, cannot agree in making one from amongst themselves, and they do not know how to govern themselves. For this reason they are very slow to take up arms, and a prince can gain them to himself and secure them much more easily. But in republics there is more vitality, greater hatred, and more desire for vengeance, which will never permit them to allow the memory of their former liberty to rest; so that the safest way is to destroy them or to reside there.

Which option best states the main idea of the passage?

Former republics are more difficult to rule than hereditary states, and they will rebel if they are not tightly controlled.
The strategies for controlling hereditary states and former republics are the same.
Hereditary states come with a history that must be deeply understood if a new prince is to control them easily.
Hereditary states never forget their former loyalties, so they are hard to control.

Answers

Answer:

A. Former republics are more difficult to rule than hereditary states, and they will rebel if they are not tightly controlled.

Read this excerpt from A Black Hole is NOT a Hole.

If the star was spinning before the collapse, then the black hole will spin, too. If the collapse is perfectly symmetric, a smooth black hole forms. On the other hand, even a slightly lopsided collapse leads to a lumpy black hole, with erratic gravitational effects. The gravity might be strong in some places and weak in others, and pull in different directions. However, a lumpy hole won’t stay lumpy for long, because its own gravity will work to smooth it out.

Reading books gives more pleasure than travelling


In my point of view, reading books are one of the best, relaxing and pleasurable activities for anyone. When you read it stimulates your mind and reduces stress. Reading books is much more enjoyable than travelling and I’m going to prove that in this essay.

Firstly, whenever you’re stressed, reading always helps you relax and it’s a fact. Similarly, to meditation, reading a book allows your mind to focus on one thing and simply forget about everything else. The moment you begin to read you slowly drift off into your thoughts and escape from reality. Reading books always reduce stress. Whereas, travelling can be quiet stressful and hectic, because of safety concerns, packing and planning the journey.


Secondly, reading books stimulates your mind and enriches your knowledge. Reading books broadens imagination by stimulating the right side of your brain. Also, it’s an excellent way for your brain to exercise according to Joseph Addison, “reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body”. There are numerous things you can learn and how much intelligence can be gained from reading books is astonishing.

To sum up, briefly, reading books provides you with relaxation and mental stimulation. It’s a pleasurable activity everybody can enjoy, especially, people who are homebodies. There are various kinds of books to choose from, everybody has a book that’s perfect for them. In this case, reading books can please anyone.

Explanation:

In the two lines, the speaker is showing how it is important for people to visit their homelands. The correct option is c.

What is “Child of the Americas”?

The speaker of the poem "Child of the Americas" discusses the concepts of identity and cultural variety. We discover that the speaker, who personifies a variety of American experiences, believes she was born "at a crossroads."

The speaker uses a first-person point of view to talk about herself, giving her the opportunity to take credit for the identity she is describing. Crossing a boundary at a crossroads is not advised.

It is a location for intersections and gatherings. It does not actually separate continents. Although the word "crossroads" is forceful, it does not convey wrath or bitterness.

Therefore, the correct option is c. it is important for people to visit their homelands.
