Explanation:

Most of the students at Wellesley College did not want Barbara Bush to speak because they believed that she was only famous because of her husband (president at the time). A majority of the students wanted Alice Walker to give a speech instead, however this did not occur. Bush is trying to use comedic relief in this line to lighten the mood surrounding her speech.

Answer: Expert testimony and Metaphor

Explanation: Expert testimony is correct, its just the repetition is not.

Repetition is like when it is repeated:

Example: King repeats “We cannot” followed by “we are not” and “we will not” to build emotion and reveal his steadfast commitment to the cause.

Thats why the other person got it wrong, but if u put Expert testimony and Metaphor, you would get it right.

Christopher Columbus was a famous explorer who discovered the New World while searching for a western route to the Indies.

A connotation is a generally accepted social or psychological association that every particular word or phrase possesses. A connotation is typically regarded as either good or negative in terms of the emotional connection it evokes. The contrast of connotation is denotation.

The negative connotation uses the term loathed, which refers to detest intensely and frequently with contempt or hatred. "The reef sat beneath the surface" uses the neutral connotation. The positive connotation uses the term glimmered, which refers to shine with a fading light or a brightness that doesn't last.

Excerpt from Moonwalk , By Michael Jackson

I have always wanted to be able to tell stories, you know, stories that came from my soul. I’d like to sit by a fire and tell people stories – make them see pictures, make them cry and laugh, take them anywhere emotionally with something as deceptively simple as words. I’d like to tell tales to move their souls and transform them. I have always wanted to be able to do that. Imagine how the great writers must feel, knowing they have that power. I sometimes feel I could do it. It’s something I’d like to develop. In a way, songwriting uses the same skills, creates the emotional highs and lows, but the story is a sketch. It’s a quicksilver. There are very few books written on the art of storytelling, how to grip listeners, how to get a group of people together, and amuse them. No costumes, no makeup, no nothing, just you and your voice, and your powerful ability to take them anywhere, to transform their lives, if only for minutes.

Based on the paragraph, why does it seem that Swift wanted to help the Irish?
WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!

"Swift's Ireland was a country that had been effectively controlled by England for nearly 500 years. The Stuarts had established a Protestant governing aristocracy amidst the country's relatively poor Catholic population. Denied union with England in 1707 (when Scotland was granted it), Ireland continued to suffer under English trade restrictions and found the authority of its own Parliament in Dublin severely limited. Swift, though born a member of Ireland's colonial ruling class, came to be known as one of the greatest of Irish patriots. He, however, considered himself more English than Irish, and his loyalty to Ireland was often ambivalent in spite of his staunch support for certain Irish causes. The complicated nature of his own relationship with England may have left him particularly sympathetic to the injustices and exploitation Ireland suffered at the hands of its more powerful neighbor."

Answers

Answer:

Because I belive Swift wanted Ireland to be a independent country out of the hands of England.

What does it mean to be successful?

Being successful is (the opposite of failure) and is the status of having achieved and accomplished an aim or objective. Being successful means the achievement of desired visions and planned goals. The dictionary describes success as the following: “attaining wealth, prosperity and/or fame”.

A Formidable HunterI remember well the great horned owl that sat on the windowsill of my kindergarten classroom. It was stuffed, of course, but quite imposing nonetheless. This grand specimen was nearly two feet long with brown, white and rusty red feathers. Its yellow eyes were large and perfectly round, giving it a wise look. Its talons were thick and sharp, and on its brow two curved feathers stuck up, looking just like two horns. I got the impression that this bird was a great hunter.Of the 145 species of owl, the great horned is the largest. Owls live in most parts of the world, ranging from tropical to subarctic climates. The elf owl is the smallest at only six inches, but no matter what their size, all owls are good hunters. They hunt under cover of night, so their prey can't see them. Unlike other birds, owls have large, soft feathers that allow them to fly without making noise, which also makes them good predators. Farmers like owls because they keep pests such as mice, voles, rats and even rabbits from their crops and stores of grain. And they have hearty appetites. Henry Williamson, a farmer in England, had eleven barn owls on his farm. He kept careful watch on their hunting habits and was astounded to find that together they ate 150 mice each night! While farmers may be grateful to owls, owners of cats and small dogs should beware: owls have been known to pluck up small pets that unknowingly wander into the birds' hunting zones.Select the correct answer.Why might it be difficult to keep an owl as a pet?A. Owls need to eat a lot of fresh mice daily.B. Owl feathers need a great deal of care.C. Owls need to live in subarctic temperatures.D. Owls need to sleep during the day.
