Read the excerpt from Flannery O'Connor's The Life You Save May Be Your Own
Mr. Shiftlet was so shocked that for about a hundred feet he drove along slowly with the door stiff open. A
cloud, the exact color of the boy's hat and shaped like a turnip, had descended over the sun, and another,
worse looking, crouched behind the car. Mr. Shiftlet felt that the rottenness of the world was about to engulf
him. He raised his arm and let it fall again to his breast. “Oh Lord!" he prayed. "Break forth and wash the
slime from this earth!
The turnip continued slowly to descend. After a few minutes there was a guffawing peal of thunder from
behind and fantastic raindrops, like tin-can tops, crashed over the rear of Mr. Shiftlet's car.
Which is a metaphor?
O The turnip continued slowly to descend
raindrops, like tin-can drops, crashed over the rear of Mr. Shiflet's car
Mr. Shiftlet felt that the rottenness of the world was about to engulf him
O He raised his arm and let it fall again to his breast

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

raindrops, like tin-can drops, crashed over the rear of Mr. Shiflet's car

Explanation:

A metaphor is used in comparing two things that are not the same but have some things in common. The comparison is made using words such as 'like' and 'as'. When the drops from heaven were compared to tin-can drops, using the word, 'like', a metaphor was employed. So this comparison between the tin can and raindrops might have been as a result of the sound made by the droplets of rain.

Juno Reaches Jupiter


adapted from NASA


After an almost five-year journey to the solar system’s largest planet, NASA's Juno spacecraft successfully entered Jupiter’s orbit during a 35-minute engine burn. Confirmation that the burn had completed was received on Earth at 8:53 p.m. PDT, Monday, July 4, 2016. Juno's principal goal is to understand the origin and evolution of Jupiter. With its suite of nine science instruments, Juno will investigate the existence of a solid planetary core. It will also map Jupiter's intense magnetic field, measure the amount of water and ammonia in the deep atmosphere, and observe the planet's auroras. The mission also will let us take a giant step forward in our understanding of how giant planets form and the role these titans played in putting together the rest of the solar system. As our primary example of a giant planet, Jupiter also can provide critical knowledge for understanding the planetary systems being discovered around other stars.

Question 10 of 21

Answers

Answer:

D).  I always round the numbers when making a budget, so everyone must round numbers to make a budget.

Explanation:

Facts are characterized as the 'fundamental reality or truth that has the ability to be verified or proved.' While an assumption is 'the supposition of something on the basis of one's own belief without any proof.'

As per these definitions, the last statement among the given options exemplifies an assumption and not fact. The belief that if one round off the numbers while preparing a budget makes it necessary for everyone to do it is not only based on one's individual belief system but can not be proved as well. Thus, option D is the correct answer as the deductions or the reasoning in the above statements can be justified and proved.

Answers

Answer:

The phrase that makes the thesis statement wordy is highlighted below:

Elementary schools should not allow cell phones to be brought by students.

Explanation:

Wordiness happens when an author uses more words than needed to express a thought. In the sentence we are analyzing here, the phrase that causes wordiness is "to be brought by students." The reason why it is wordy is that this information is quite obvious. Mentioning it in the sentence is unnecessary. The sentence still makes sense and expresses a complete thought without it:

Elementary schools should  not allow cell phones.

Studies support the claim that volunteering on a regular basis actually benefits one’s general physical health. Depending on the needs of an organization, many volunteer opportunities can involve physical movement. Volunteers at a local soup kitchen may, for example, find themselves unloading truckloads of donated supplies. Other research related to volunteering and staying healthy found that volunteers often experienced decreased chronic pain and fewer symptoms of heart disease. Of course, not all volunteer positions involve physical exertion. Tasks involving minimal movement, such as answering phones, filing papers, and/or addressing envelopes, should be combined with some type of physical activity. Using the stairs instead of an elevator or walking to work instead of driving are examples of easy ways to integrate exercise into a daily routine.

The drought of March, and pierced it to the root,
And every vein is bathed in that moisture
Whose quickening force will engender the flower;
And when the west wind too with its sweet breath
Has given life in every wood and field
To tender shoots, and when the stripling sun
Has run his half-course in Aries, the Ram

Which statement best describes the relationship between the Middle English text and the modern English text?

Geoffrey Chaucer (ca. 1343-1400) exists known as the Father of English literature, and the most prominent poet of the Middle Ages. He exists best known today as the author of The Canterbury Tales.

Chaucer contributed to the legitimization of the literary usage of Middle English, at a moment when the literary languages of England were French and Latin. Middle English guides the English language that existed spoken roughly after the Norman Conquest (1066) and until the late 15th century. The Canterbury Tales exist written in Middle English. Therefore, it contains many words that exist not extended in usage. Nevertheless, the language exists identical enough that modern English speakers can still understand the significance of most of the text.

OD) She uses social media to boycott the school if the school board does not change its decision.

Answers

Answer:

She makes a list of why the school board may have decided to drop art and music classes.

Explanation:

The concept of root cause analysis could be explained as an evaluation process which one takes in other to understand the undying reasons or causes of a particular action or Decison. Understanding the undying facts will allow for a thoughtful and efficient approach towards finding a lasting solution to such problem rather than a quick and premature approach to solving problem.

In the scenario above, the best approach which could be taken is to evaluate the cause of the school's decision, knowing this will allow her visualize the problem from her own perspective as well as the school's. This will then enable her come up with an effective solution.

Reread this passage from a speech by Booker T. Washington, in which he explains why he believes he was selected to serve on the Atlanta Exposition's board of jurors.

Suppose that some months before . . . there had been a general demand from the press and public . . . that a Negro be given a place on the opening program, and that a Negro be placed upon the board of jurors. Would any such recognition of the race have taken place? I do not think so. The Atlanta officials went as far as they did because they felt it to be a pleasure, as well as a duty, to reward what they considered merit in the Negro race. Say what we will, there is something in human nature which we cannot blot out, which makes one man, in the end, recognize and reward merit in another, regardless of color or race.

According to Washington, what type of evidence does his invitation to serve on the board represent? What does his inclusion tell him about race relations in the United States at the time?

Answers

Answer:

it represents that no matter what color of skin you are we are all human and it would be a honor to work with different races. His inclusion tells him about race relations in the united states at the time is that he accepts every skin color you have because we are human and no matter what we should accept each other for being different.
