Fall of the House of Usher, excerpt
By Edgar Allan Poe

The room in which I found myself was very large and lofty. The windows were long, narrow, and pointed, and at so vast a distance from the black oaken floor as to be altogether inaccessible from within. Feeble gleams of encrimsoned light made their way through the trellised panes, and served to render sufficiently distinct the more prominent objects around; the eye, however, struggled in vain to reach the remoter angles of the chamber, or the recesses of the vaulted and fretted ceiling. Dark draperies hung upon the walls. The general furniture was profuse, comfortless, antique, and tattered. Many books and musical instruments lay scattered about, but failed to give any vitality to the scene. I felt that I breathed an atmosphere of sorrow. An air of stern, deep, and irredeemable gloom hung over and pervaded all.

Read these lines from the text:

Dark draperies hung upon the walls. The general furniture was profuse, comfortless, antique, and tattered. Many books and musical instruments lay scattered about, but failed to give any vitality to the scene.

Answers

Answer:

b) use to

Explanation:

This is because at the beginning of the sentence there is already a past tense "did" so the verb after that would have to be in base form which would be "use to". It's a rule so I can't really explain much.

Answer:

Explanation:

The auxiliary verb (did) is marked for past tense, but the main verb (use) is not cuz it's supposed to appear in it's base form

In a small military compound in Nevada, two soldiers plot
to steal a high-tech tank that the base has illegally
developed in secret. The government doesn't even know of
its existence. The soldiers plan to ransom the tank to the
highest bidder. However, the engineer who developed the
tank learns of the plot and must stop the two soldiers
without letting the government know of the tank's
existence.
Which aspect of the story is most important in determining its outcome?
O A. Only two soldiers steal the tank.
OB. The tank is to be sold to the highest bidder.
O C. The story is set in Nevada.
OD. The tank was developed illegally.

Answers

Answer:

OD. The tank was developed illegally.

Explanation:

The outcome of any story depends on the circumstances that lead up to the crucial stages of the plot. And these outcomes mainly consists of the consequences or results of all the different directions or aspects of the plot.

In the given scenario of the two soldiers and their plan to try to steal the 'secretly developed' illegal high-tech tank, the most important aspect of the story in determining the outcome is that the tank was illegally developed. This is because, no matter who tried to steal it or what the purpose of the stealing was, the fact that it was developed illegally will eventually be the crucial aspect of how the outcome will be, considering neither the government nor anyone knows about it (except the two soldiers and the engineer and the ones on the base camp).

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Thinking back to that presentation in the library makes me smile. What started out as three high school boys skipping class turned out to be the most significant event in our lives.

Everything we needed to start on the road to success was included in one forty-five-minute presentation. And we almost missed it.

The stray cat stalked down the street. Her walk was proud--she barely flinched when a car on the corner backfired. She reached the end of the street and made one majestic leap to the top of an open trash can, where, with great dignity, she settled over a meal of broken bones, a back alley Cleopatra.

Which detail from the text contains an allusion?

Answers

Answer:

D. ...she settled over a meal of broken bones, a back alley Cleopatra.

Explanation:

The detail from the text that contains an allusion is ''...she settled over a meal of broken bones, a back alley Cleopatra''

Allusion is known to be a brief and indirect reference to a person, thing, place or idea of historical significance. In allusion, it does not describe in detail the reference (i.e the person or thing to which it refers). It actually passes a comment. Then the writer actually expects the reader to understand the allusion and grasp its importance as used in a text.

In the above answer, the author makes allusion to the meal of broken bones referring it to ''a back alley Cleopatra''. Therefore, Option D is correct answer.

Answers

This question is missing the options. I've found them online. I'll omit the passage we are supposed to complete:

Read the following paragraph and fill in the blanks using the appropriate and correct forms of verb given in the list.       (10 Marks)                                                                                                                                

(travel, be, disguise, walk, own, receive, step, surprise, tip, bow, greet, do, scream, run, fall, teach, play, think)

Answer:

Last year, I traveled to Spain to visit a close friend of mine. To surprise a clever fellow, I disguised myself as an ancient swordsman and walked into his place as if I owned it. After receiving directions from his servant, I stepped in his bedroom and greeted him with a slap on the back. Then, of course, I tipped my hat, bowed and greeted him the way they did in ancient Spain. My friend screamed and ran. In his frenzy, he was not able to see the stairs and fell down the flight of stairs. This taught me a lesson that I should not play pranks anymore. Sometimes, what you think of as entertaining may not be that entertaining for other people.

Explanation:

As you can see, we had to repeat a couple of verbs since there are more blanks than there are options. Most of the verbs should be used in the Simple Past Tense because the beginning of the passage states with precision when this story took place (last year). However, we must pay attention to whether the sentences contain a preposition or a modal verb, for instance, so that we can use the verb in the appropriate form (with -ing or in its base form, for example).

how do our interactions define us?

Answers

Answer:

Depending on how you act or interact with people can have a major impact on how others see you and can even change the way you see yourself such as if you were to be hostile when interacting with others you would be defined as a hostile person or if you where kind then you would be defined as kind and outgoing.
