Answer:
With "The Pardoner's Tale" people can learn how destructive greed and the cult of money and wealth is.
Explanation:
"The Pardoner's Tale" presents the story of three friends who ended up killing each other to own a large amount of money. This story can be related to the current society and the cult of money and wealth, leaving people greedy to the point of causing problems to themselves and the people around them. The tale shows that greed is not rewarding, but that it causes tension, betrayal and pain.
Answer:
The pardoner tells a didactic tale to preach that greed is the root cause of all evil. The three young men he describes are shown as greedy, lecherous, boisterous, and blasphemous. To get across their sinful nature, the pardoner uses words such as pestilence, insolent, evil, gluttony, and treacherous. The tale goes on to show how the men’s greed for money gets them into trouble. Their foolishness is brought out when they proclaim that they will slay Death. The pardoner says the men are “drunken” and full of “rage” when they make this “grisly oath.” The choice of words shows how these three men are shown to be slaves of the seven deadly sins.

PARAGRAPH 7:
The Ghost Town
7 Today, Centralia is an eerie ghost town. The wafting smoke and shifting soil are too dangerous for most to brave. The detour signs on Route 61 give no indication of the troubles in Centralia; most cars just veer around the smoldering town. But for those who are fascinated by the fire, Centralia has become a sort of mecca. Tourists come to stare at the devastated landscape, and conspiracy theorists gather to share their outlandish ideas. Of the visitors, the researchers are the most hopeful. They study Centralia's soil, plants, and animals, and they believe that the effects of the fire will shed light upon the processes that created this planet. Though a terrible tragedy, the Centralia fire may someday lead to breakthroughs in science and technology.
QUESTION:
What is the central idea of paragraph 7?
A.
Because of the lack of signs, many are unaware of the impact of the fire.
B.
Because of the fire, Centralia has seen a boost in tourism and scientific research.
C.
The population of Centralia has dropped significantly since the fire started.
D.
As a result of the conspiracies, many people do not believe the fire was real.

A.

B.
Lisa's dad, one of the firefighters in town, was praised as a hero for rescuing a young boy.
C.
Lisa's dad, one of the firefighters in town, are praised as a hero for rescuing a young boy.
D.
Lisa's dad, one of the firefighters in town, were praised as a hero for rescuing a young boy.
Answer: B. Lisa's dad, one of the firefighters in town, was praised as a hero for rescuing a young boy.
Explanation;
Option A is not correct because the subject "Lisa's dad" is singular, but the verb "have been" is plural.
Option C is not correct because the verb part "are praised" is not correct since "are" is plural but the subject "Lisa's dad" is singular.
Option D is not correct because the verb "were praised" is plural and cannot match with the singular subject "Lisa's dad".
Therefore, option B is the only correct option left.

Read the following excerpt from Alfred Noyes’s narrative poem "The Highwayman." Which three literary elements do these stanzas contain?
The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees.
The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas.
The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor,
And the highwayman came riding—
Riding—riding—
The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door.
He’d a French cocked-hat on his forehead, a bunch of lace at his chin,
A coat of the claret velvet, and breeches of brown doe-skin.
They fitted with never a wrinkle. His boots were up to the thigh.
And he rode with a jewelled twinkle,
His pistol butts a-twinkle,
His rapier hilt a-twinkle, under the jewelled sky.
Over the cobbles he clattered and clashed in the dark inn-yard.
He tapped with his whip on the shutters, but all was locked and barred.
He whistled a tune to the window, and who should be waiting there
But the landlord’s black-eyed daughter,
Bess, the landlord’s daughter,
Plaiting a dark red love-knot into her long black hair.

Which statement best explains how the authors develop their claim across the two passages?
Both passages use evidence to develop the claim that the general public needed to know about the terrors of involuntary servitude.
Both passages use evidence to develop the claim that Eastern European farmers and enslaved people on sugar plantations shared a common goal.
Both passages use evidence to show that knowledge of the extreme brutality of the sugar trade changed viewpoints about enslavement.
Both passages use evidence to support the claim that lawmakers had more power and influence than abolitionists had.
Answer:
Both passages use evidence to show that knowledge of the extreme brutality of the sugar trade changed viewpoints about enslavement.
Explanation:
The passages you were given are the following:
Slave owners fought back, arguing that owners should be able to list their slaves as property when they arrived in France and take them with them when they left. Though most parts of France agreed to this, lawmakers in Paris hesitated. Pierre Lemerre the Younger made the case for the slaves. "All men are equal," he insisted in 1716—exactly sixty years before the Declaration of Independence. To say that "all men are equal" in 1716, when slavery was flourishing in every corner of the world and most eastern Europeans themselves were farmers who could be sold along with the land they worked, was like announcing that there was a new sun in the sky. In the Age of Sugar, when slavery was more brutal than ever before, the idea that all humans are equal began to spread—toppling kings, overturning governments, transforming the entire world. Sugar was the connection, the tie, between slavery and freedom.
Clarkson and others who believed as he did, who in the coming decades would be called abolitionists, realized that while that link gave the English a stake in slavery, it also gave the antislavery forces an opportunity. If they could reverse the flow—make the horrors of slavery visible to those who benefited from it—they might be able to end the vile practice forever. The abolitionists were brilliant. They created the most effective public relations campaign in history, inventing techniques that we use to this day. When he spoke, Clarkson brandished whips and handcuffs used on slaves; he published testimonials from sailors and ship doctors who described the atrocities and punishments on slave ships. When Olaudah Equiano published his memoir, he educated his readers about the horrors of the slave trade. And then, when the English began to understand what slavery really was, Clarkson and others organized what we would call a boycott of "the blood-sweetened beverage."
The given passages are from the book Sugar Changed the World: A Story of Magic, Spice, Slavery, Freedom, and Science written by Marc Aronson and Marina Budhos. The book tells about the history of sugar from its discovery in New Guinea around 7000 B.C. to the 21st century. The sugar industry was based on slavery for a long time, which is what the book focuses on.
These two passages tell us about how the knowledge of the extreme brutality of the sugar trade changed viewpoints about slavery. People were beginning to notice how poorly the slaves were being treated and began fighting for their rights.
