In paragraph 9, Odysseus says he "answered [the Cyclops] with cunning words." What does the word cunning tell you about Odysseus' special abilities?

Answers

Answer:

 What the word cunning tell us about Odysseus is that he is very smart.

Explanation:

Odysseus character is very cunning and intelligent. He demonstrates this by telling Polyphemus that he was "nobody", which gives him an advantage in blinding him.

 Odysseus is a strategist like few others and many of his battles he wins without giving a single blow. Of course, no matter how clever he may be, the return home will be extremely complicated.

How does the italicized example of figurative language above most clearly contribute to the meaning of the poem? The italicized example is "SHINES LIKE THE SUN" A. The simile establishes that the apple is hot and mushy from sitting on the counter. B. The hyperbole establishes that the apple's peel is too bright and shiny C. The hyperbole establishes that the speaker is tempted by the apple, D. The simile establishes that the apple is attractive and tempting to the speaker.

Answers

Even though we do not have the poem or an excerpt, we can still answer this question based on the type figurative language provided.

Answer:

The italicized example of figurative language contributes to the meaning of the poem because:

D. The simile establishes that the apple is attractive and tempting to the speaker.

Explanation:

Hyperbole is a figure of speech that uses exaggeration to express an idea, a feeling, an action etc. Example: I've told you about this a million times.

A simile is a figure of speech used with the intention of making a comparison - stating a similarity - between two different things. It uses words such as "as" or "like".

We can see that "shines like the sun" does not fit the description of a hyperbole, but it does fit the description of a simile. Therefore, we can eliminate options B and C.

Between options A and D, the best one seems to be the last. "Shines like the sun" on its own does not convey a bad idea, such as something being mushy. It makes us think of something being really, strongly bright or shiny - to the point of being compared to the sun. That is why letter D is the best option.

Meanwhile the desire to express myself grew. The few
signs I used became less and less adequate, and my
failures to make myself understood were invariably
followed by outbursts of passion. I felt as if invisible
hands were holding me, and I made frantic efforts to free
myself. I struggled - not that struggling helped matters,
but the spirit of resistance was strong within me; I
generally broke down in tears and physical exhaustion.

Which sentence about Helen Keller's autobiography is
true?
o It is not credible because it is the story of Helen
Keller's life, and Keller is the author.
It is credible because Helen Keller is the author,
writing about her own life.
It is not credible because there are too many details
that cannot be proven
It is credible because it describes events from
Helen Keller's childhood.

Answers

Answer:

It is credible because Helen Keller is the author, writing about her own life.

Explanation:

An autobiography is a book about a person's life written by that person. Here, Helen Keller describes her own feelings. She doesn't say anything unbelievable, anything that might get us to question the credibility of this excerpt. In fact, this excerpt is credible because Helen Keller wrote this about herself. If someone else claimed that Keller felt a certain way, we'd need to question that, because we need to ask ourselves: How can someone know how exactly someone else is feeling? This is why the second option is the correct one.

Answer:

It is credible

Explanation:

She had bread for the hungry, clothes for the naked, and comfort for every mourner, that came within her reach. Slavery soon proved its ability to divest of her heavenly qualities. Under its influence the tender heart became stone, and the lamb-like disposition gave way to one of the tiger-like fierceness. From the excerpt above, which statement best describes the changes in his mistress’s character? She was always loyal only to the laws and to her husband. He felt sorry for her since she was oppressed, too. The change in her character was inexcusable. She was unwilling to face the conflict of betraying her culture for her personal beliefs.

How was suspense built in pages 150-190 and using text evidence as support, identify an example of suspense within those lines of the short story "Big Things Come in Small Packages" Be sure to explain why these selected lines caused suspense and what is their significance.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The suspense is caused by the unpredictability within the narrative, which is established in such a way that the reader, as well as the characters and even the narrator, cannot predict the facts that occurred during the history of that point forward. This causes confusion, anxiety and consequently suspense. Proof of this can be seen in the phrase "Big Things Come in Small Packages" which presents a totally unexpected and unpredictable situation, since nobody expects a small package to contain something big, which we also don't know what it is, but which can be wonderful or terrible.

Answers

Answer:

"Then the three of you get out of here. Colleges come to this school every day, looking for good students, and you three jokers let it all pass you by."

Explanation:

We Beat the Street is a story about three young boys, later grown-up men, who came originally from a problematic and poor neighborhood where a lot of violence was happening. Each one of them was somehow involved in drug possession/dealing. As they were growing up, they felt like it is predestined that they will, like others around them, end up like criminals or likewise. But in the process, each of them runs into some kind of mentor who supported them and opened some new doors. So these three friends applied for medical school and eventually became doctors.

From the given excerpts, the second one ("Then the three of you get out of here. Colleges come to this school every day, looking for good students, and you three jokers let it all pass you by.") fully matches the idea that opportunities should never be wasted.

B.) "Then the three of you get out of here. Colleges come to this school every day, looking for good students, and you three jokers let it all pass you by."

Selena started playing hockey her favorite sport, when she was seven, because her older sister was a star goalie.

Answers

Answer: Selena started playing hockey, her favorite sport when she was seven because her older sister was a star goalie.

It's not the first one because there shouldn't be a comma after Selena since it's separating the subject (Selena) and the verb (started). It's most likely not the last two either because there's a comma before the dependent clauses ("when" and "because"). Since these are all complex sentences, they're made up of one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. Since the dependent clause follows the independent clause, no comma is needed after it.

You can even read the sentences out loud with the appropriate pauses at the commas to see which one makes more sense and flows better.

The media include forms of communication that:
A. convey information.
B. manipulate an audience.
C. uses only images.
D. create emotional responses.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation: 1. All media messages are constructed.

Media texts are built just as surely as buildings and highways are built. The key behind this concept is figuring out who constructed the message, out of what materials and to what effect.

2. Media messages are constructed using a creative language with its own rules.

Each form of communication has its own creative language: scary music heightens fear, camera close-ups convey intimacy, big headlines signal significance. Understanding the grammar, syntax and metaphor of media language helps us to be less susceptible to manipulation.

3. Different people experience the same media message differently.

Audiences play a role in interpreting media messages because each audience member brings to the message a unique set of life experiences. Differences in age, gender, education and cultural upbringing will generate unique interpretations.

4. Media have embedded values and points of view.

Because they are constructed, media messages carry a subtext of who and what is important — at least to the person or people creating the message. The choice of a character’s age, gender or race, the selection of a setting, and the actions within the plot are just some of the ways that values become “embedded” in a television show, a movie or an advertisement.

5. Most media messages are organized to gain profit and/or power.

Much of the world’s media were developed as money-making enterprises. Newspapers and magazines lay out their pages with ads first; the space remaining is devoted to news. Likewise, commercials are part and parcel of most television watching. Now, the Internet has become an international platform through which groups or individuals can attempt to persuade.

By considering the core concepts behind every media message, you equip yourself with an ability to analyze and interpret a message — and to accept or reject its legitimacy.

Answer: The answer is A, convey information.

Answers

Answer:

A reader can best combine the information in the excerpts to understand that the desire of President Kennedy to put a man on the moon was influenced by the "space race" with the Soviet Union.

Explanation:

In the first excerpt, the article mentions how President Kenney felt pressured to be on par with the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union had already put a man in space, leading to a "space race". The second article also deals with how President Kenney made a challenge "to put a man on the moon before the decade is out."

These two articles have the same context which is, the need and desire of President Kennedy to compete with the Soviet Union in a "space race".  This shows that he was inspired by the Soviet Union to put a man in space.

Answer:

understand that President Kennedy's desire to put a man on the moon was inspired by a "space race" with the Soviet Union.

According to the information from both excerpts, president John F. Kennedy's main motivation to put a man to the moon was the fierce space race that the United States had with communist Soviet Union. In that respect, the Soviet Union was already ahead, since it had been the first to send a man in space - Yuri Gagarin.

This poem has an increasingly exciting tone. The narrative being told has readers engrossed. With the lesson he intends to impart to his readers, Southey could have easily been didactic and preachy, but that is not the case in this instance.

A reef known as Inchcape or the Bell Rock, home to the Bell Rock Lighthouse, is located about 11 miles (18 km) off the east coast of Angus, Scotland. The word "Inchcape" is derived from the Scottish Gaelic word "Innis Sgeap," which means "Beehive Isle" and probably refers to the reef's resemblance to traditional skep beehives. Robert Southey's poem Inchcape Rock is a ballad that is set in the 14th century in Scotland and describes the cruel fate of people who commit wickedness.
