Hamlet, by William Shakespeare, is the story of a young prince of medieval Denmark who returns home from a university in Germany and his father, the former king, dies. Hamlet receives a visit from his father's ghost, who tells Hamlet that he was murdered and that Hamlet must seek revenge. The culprit is Hamlet's uncle, Claudius, who has now married Hamlet's mother and taken the throne. Hamlet is not sure what to believe - he tries to trick Claudius into confessing, but his plan goes wrong, and Hamlet, Claudius, and almost all of the rest of the royal family die at the end of the play.
Based on this synopsis, which statement best explains how the setting affects the plot of Hamlet?
A. The setting is a small kingdom, which allows for a conflict between Claudius and Hamlet's father over who would be the King.
B. The setting is a small kingdom, which allows for a conflict between Claudius and Hamlet because Hamlet believes Claudius is not a good ruler.
C. The setting is a royal society, which allows for a conflict between Hamlet and his mother because Hamlet has been taught to always be respectful of his elders.
D. The setting is a royal society, which enables Shakespeare to make the point that problems can happen anywhere, to anyone.
Answer:
The answer is A.
Explanation:
This is because, without the conflict between Claidius and Hamlet's father by virtue of the throne one can ascend as king, the story would not be so. In fact, Hamlet's father would not have been killed. The reason for the hostility also lies in the fact that it was a small kingdom... there was only one throne in contention for all the royals and everyone was eager to get it.
How does Mary's careful planning influence the outcome of the story? Use evidence from the text to support your response. Be sure to explain how each piece of evidence supports your analysis.
Answer/Explanation:
Mary's careful planning influence the outcome of the story by coldly and carefully plans a way in which she will not be accused of the crime. This influences the outcome of the story, ensuring that Mary is not blamed for the murder. For Instance, Mary goes out after the murder and talks to the grocer for a while. This allows Mary to have an explanation in case she is considered a suspect. Another example is the way in which Mary cooks the lamb leg that she used to kill her husband. This allows her to hide the weapon, as well as to further develop her image as a perfect wife. Also Ask the police to eat the lamb leg so Mary's can get rid of the murder weapon.

Read the passage from The American Plague.
Adding to his frustration was the fact that very few official papers had made their way to him at Mount Vernon. Washington was a stickler for orderly files that he could search at a moment's notice. This was the most important way he kept himself informed about the hundreds of things happening in the fledgling nation. Unfortunately, when the government clerks had panicked and dashed from Philadelphia, they had abandoned all papers and records in boarded-up houses. No one knew where these documents were; and no one was willing to risk his or her life wandering, through the infected city in search of them.
What conclusion does the cause-and-reflect relationship in this passage support?
Washington lacked the information he needed to govern effectively.
Washington got information in other ways so he could govern effectively.
Washington was so angry at the clerks that he did not govern effectively.
Washington was too frustrated by his missing papers to govern effectively.
Mark this and return
I believe the answer would be " Washington was too frustrated by his missing papers to govern effectively ", If this is the wrong answer, I'm deeply sorry
PLEASE HELP NEED THIS DONE BY THE END OF THE DAY!!! Write a brief objective summary of chapter 2 of Trash Vortex. Be sure to include two central ideas and how they are developed in the text.
I'm just putting it here to ;)
Summary of Trash Vortex:
Plastic started to flood into people's lives. It replaced lots of other materials too. Also, it would be transformed into new objects. Children would play with plastic putty. This shows us that plastic is really popular, but the cost of being popular can harm our environment. People use plastic materials in their modern life. Plastic offered other conveniences such as disposable items like plates, cups, napkins. Although they're all meant to be thrown away after use.
Plastic trash began to accumulate in waterways. This caused waterways to be polluted and non-safe drinking water with diseases. For example, Ohio's river was so polluted with chemicals it caught on fire. causing to catch the attention of government leaders. The federal clean water act added rules in 1972 on industrial plants along waterways. That said waterways continued to trash accumulating a bit in reason of wind sweeping plastic and other non-disposable items.
I'm not sure if this is correct if Trash Vortex is about plastic and pollution, but I'm glad I helped. :)

Walking is not the most exciting form of exercise a person can take on for fitness. Yet it is low impact and requires no fancy equipment. That makes walking a simple activity for those new to exercise. Walking is less likely than other exercises to cause injury to leg tendons and muscles.

in spirit of war in spirit of death in spirit of all man suffering something within me laughs and sings and I must praise with all my breath Inspired War in Spite of Hate lilacs are blooming at my gate tulips are tripping down the path despite a war in spite of breath courage the morning glory south rejoice the daisy murmured And just to live is so divine When pansies left their eyes to mine The clouds are roaming with the sky and lashes waves called back to me then not is real But what is far The everywhere and everywhere a glory life through despite despair 3 guns May Roar and Cannon's Boom roses are born in Gardens Bloom My spirit tell me like it's fine at the same torch once poppies came where mornings alter within burns Lily's may lift their silver earns in spite of war in spite of shame and in my ear a whispering breath wake up from the nightmare look and see that life is not but stays In spite of war in spite of death
discuss the meaning of two instance of figurative language then choose three words and explain how the connections of those three words create meaning in the poem
pls help if you don't know the answer pls dont answer
Answer:
There is repetition, where the poet has repeated "in spite of", meaning that despite these things, all of this still happens. There is also imagery in this example. Using the words, we can see what the speaker wants us to see. They want us to see the morning burns whiteley, or how life is full of joy, and yet it is despite all of the war and death. A "whispering breath" can mean two things. That the speaker is dreaming, or that the voice they hear is their own, in their mind. "Altar" is being used as a setting, a place we can see the morning, unlike in other poems. Lastly, we see the word "ecstasy"be used, and while it literally means something that is full of joy and happiness, the connotation here is the same thing.

What is a central idea developed in the beginning of your Novel by Raina Telgemeier?
-Use the RADDE writing strategy
Answer:
R: Read
Raina Telgemeier's novel Smile tells the story of a middle school girl named Raina who is struggling with a variety of issues. The novel is a graphic memoir and recounts Raina's real-life experiences.
A: Ask
What is the central idea developed in the beginning of Smile by Raina Telgemeier?
D: Determine
After reading the beginning of the novel, the central idea developed is that Raina is looking forward to getting braces, hoping they will fix her teeth and boost her self-confidence.
D: Locate and Highlight
"I was just starting sixth grade when my dental nightmare began." (page 3)
"Getting braces was a good thing. I was excited to finally get them..." (page 8)
"I was so happy! I couldn't stop smiling. I felt like a brand-new person." (page 10)
E: Evaluate
Raina's excitement about getting braces sets up the central conflict of the novel, which is her journey towards accepting herself regardless of her physical appearance. Raina's initial excitement about the braces shows that she believes they will solve all of her problems and make her feel better about herself. However, the rest of the novel shows that this is not the case, and that self-acceptance comes from within rather than from external changes.
Therefore, the central idea developed in the beginning of Smile by Raina Telgemeier is that Raina is hopeful that getting braces will fix her teeth and increase her self-confidence, setting up the central conflict of the novel.

Workers on strike - Ananya press - workers in strike - demand increase in salary allowances and bonus - 10 days negotiation failed - hunger strike from tomorrow
Title: Ananya Press Workers Launch Hunger Strike Amid Stalled Negotiations
Subtitle: 10-day negotiation period ends without resolution as workers demand increased salaries, allowances, and bonuses.
ANANYA CITY (June 29, 2023) - Employees of Ananya Press, one of the leading printing presses in the region, have declared they will begin a hunger strike tomorrow. This drastic measure comes after a 10-day negotiation period with the company’s management failed to reach a resolution concerning increased salaries, allowances, and bonuses.
Workers at Ananya Press have been on strike for over a week, putting a halt to operations. The employees’ grievances include demands for an increase in salary, a rise in allowances, and an annual bonus that reflects the growing demands of their job and the rising cost of living.
According to the workers’ union spokesperson, Ms. Ritu Sharma, the decision to embark on a hunger strike was not taken lightly. "We have been trying to engage in constructive dialogue with the management for the past 10 days," she explained. "Unfortunately, our attempts have not led to any significant changes or offers, leaving us with no other option but to escalate our protest."
During the negotiations, workers sought a 15% increase in their salaries, a substantial rise in housing and transport allowances, and a performance-based annual bonus. However, the management of Ananya Press stated that the demands were "unfeasible", citing concerns over the current economic climate and operational costs.
Mr. Rajiv Mehra, the CEO of Ananya Press, stated that the company had offered a "fair and reasonable" 5% salary increase along with a modest increment in allowances. However, this offer was rejected by the workers as being insufficient to meet their needs.
The impending hunger strike has raised concerns among local authorities, who are monitoring the situation closely. The mayor of Ananya City, Mrs. Geeta Singh, urged both parties to return to the negotiation table. "We cannot allow this to escalate further. The welfare of the workers is paramount and so is the continuity of business for Ananya Press, which is a crucial player in our local economy," she commented.
As the workers prepare for their hunger strike tomorrow, there is growing concern for the future of Ananya Press and the livelihoods of its employees. Both parties face mounting pressure to resolve their differences and find a solution that satisfies the workers' demands while ensuring the company's sustainability.
For now, the eyes of the community, as well as the nation, are focused on the unfolding drama at Ananya Press. The hunger strike marks a critical turning point in the ongoing labor dispute, and the consequences of this action are yet to be seen.

The Fox and the Grapes
from Aesop's Fables
A Fox one day spied a beautiful bunch of ripe grapes hanging from a vine trained along the branches of a tree. The grapes seemed ready to burst with juice, and the Fox's mouth watered as he gazed longingly at them.
The bunch hung from a high branch, and the Fox had to jump for it. The first time he jumped he missed it by a long way. So, he walked off a short distance and took a running leap at it, only to fall short once more. Again, and again he tried, but in vain.
Now he sat down and looked at the grapes in disgust. "What a fool I am," he said. "Here I am wearing myself out to get a bunch of sour grapes that are not worth gaping for."
And off he walked very, very scornfully.
Choose the best summary of the story.
A.
A Fox saw a bunch of ripe grapes hanging from a branch. He jumped many times trying to reach them until he was finally satisfied with his efforts to get the grapes.
B.
A Fox saw a bunch of ripe grapes hanging from a branch. But once he finally got the grapes, he learned they were not ripe enough.
C.
A Fox saw a bunch of ripe grapes hanging from a branch. But he soon decided they were too high and walked away.
D.
A Fox saw a bunch of ripe grapes hanging from a branch. He jumped many times but could not reach them. Then he gave up saying he did not want them anyways.

By Saturday, the votes will have been revealed to the public.
To Kill a Mockingbird is being read by all freshmen this year.
Our governor is being considered as a potential candidate for president this year.
The town council members have written new guidelines for their weekly meetings.
The sentence that uses active voice is: "The town council members have written new guidelines for their weekly meetings." Therefore, option D is correct.
What are active voice sentences?Active voice sentences are those in which the subject of the sentence performs the action expressed by the verb. In an active voice sentence, the subject is the doer of the action, and the verb expresses the action that the subject is performing.
For example, "The cat chased the mouse." In this sentence, "cat" is the subject, and "chased" is the verb that expresses the action that the cat is performing.
Using active voice can make writing more engaging, easier to read and understand, and can often convey a stronger sense of action and agency. Therefore, option D is correct.
