Read this excerpt from Rogue Heart:
TingTing approaches with a broom of her own. We’ve been sweeping along the perimeter of the café. Now we meet in the middle by the display of lychee rose cupcakes. TingTing grips her broom tightly, her pretty face flushed, her eyes beseeching. As she speaks, Tour Guide, my translation app, whirs the music of her voice into language in my head.
“Anmei?” she begins, calling me by the name I’d given her when we first met.
Write 1–2 paragraphs analyzing the context clues in the excerpt to determine the figurative meaning of the phrase “whirs the music.” Consider these questions:
What context clues can you use to determine the meaning of the phrase?
What is the figurative meaning of the phrase?
How did the context clues help you determine the meaning of the phrase?
Answers
Context clues are characterized as hints that allow the readers to determine the meaning of words that are unknown or unfamiliar to them.
The students can write that context clues include the surrounding words like 'As she speaks,' 'music of her voice into language' would assist in looking for the meaning of the phrase 'whirs the music.' The figurative or non-literal meaning of the phrase would be that the application puts the words into a rhythmic and music-like structure that is pleasing. These context clues would assist the readers in understanding that it is referring to a sweet melodious and pleasurable sound produced by the translating application.Learn more about 'figurative language' here:

Answer:
this is the right answer
Explanation:
Based on the context in the excerpt, we know that the narrator is using a “translation app,” which tells us she does not speak the language TingTing is speaking. The phrase “whirs the music of her voice” describes how the translation app interprets TingTing's voice so the narrator can understand what she is saying. The word music makes me think of continuous, repeated sounds that are pleasurable to the listener. The word whirs convey the image of a record player or a CD spinning. So, all these clues put together help us to understand that the translation app is interpreting TingTing’s voice and language into a continuous stream of words (like a song) that the narrator can understand.

Answers
Answer:
The implied message of this story is:
D) When a group is faced with a common adversity, working together is better than being divided.
Explanation:
According to the story, the reason why the ants haven't succeeded in protecting themselves from predators is their lack of unity. They all work diligently, but each group of ants does so according to their own opinions and ways. Because of that, Anteater, Centipede, and Birds remain undefeated. The Insect-king has tried to warn the ants, teach them about uniting and overcoming their adversities together. That way, they will succeed. However, his message has yet to arrive.
NOTE: Here is the full story
The Lost Message (South African Folk Tale)
THE ant has had from time immemorial many enemies, and because he is small and destructive, there have been a great many slaughters among them. Not only were most of the birds their enemies, but Anteater lived almost wholly from them, and Centipede beset them every time and at all places when he had the chance.
So now there were a few among them who thought it would be well to hold council together and see if they could not come to some arrangement whereby they could retreat to some place of safety when attacked by robber birds and animals.
But at the gathering their opinions were most discordant, and they could come to no decision.
There was Red-ant, Rice-ant, Black-ant, Wagtail-ant, Gray-ant, Shining-ant, and many other varieties. The discussion was a true babel of diversity, which continued for a long time and came to nothing.
A part desired that they should all go into a small hole in the ground, and live there; another part wanted to have a large and strong dwelling built on the ground, where nobody could enter but an ant; still another wanted to dwell in trees, so as to get rid of Anteater, forgetting entirely that there they would be the prey of birds; another part seemed inclined to have wings and fly.
And, as has already been said, this deliberation amounted to nothing, and each party resolved to go to work in its own way, and on its own responsibility.
Greater unity than that which existed in each separate faction could be seen nowhere in the world; each had his appointed task, each did his work regularly and well. And all worked together in the same way. From among them they chose a king-that is to say some of the groups did-and they divided the labor so that all went as smoothly as it possibly could.
But each group did it in its own way, and not one of them thought of protecting themselves against the onslaught of birds or Anteater.
The Red-ants built their house on the ground and lived under it, but Anteater leveled to the ground in a minute what had cost them many days of precious labor. The Rice-ants lived under the ground, and with them it went no better. For whenever they came out, Anteater visited them and took them out sack and pack. The Wagtail-ants fled to the trees, but there on many occasions sat Centipede waiting for them, or the birds gobbled them up. The Gray-ants had intended to save themselves from extermination by taking to flight, but this also availed them nothing, because the Lizard, the Hunting-spider, and the birds went a great deal faster than they.
When the Insect-king heard that they could come to no agreement he sent them the secret of unity, and the message of Work-together. But unfortunately he chose for his messenger the Beetle, and he has never yet arrived at the Ants, so that they are still to-day the embodiment of discord and consequently the prey of enemies.

2. Mr. Summers asks, "Watson boy drawing this year?" Watson responded, "I'm drawing for my mother and me." In a town that thrives on tradition and family structure what can you infer about the father in the Watson family? (Pay attention to the responses in the crowd and the history of this town.)
Answers
Answer:
Through this one can infer about the father in the Watson family that he's been killed in previous year's lottery as Jack Watson, Mr. Watson's son is appointed as the head of the household.
Explanation:
'The Lottery' is a short story written by Shirley Jackson. The short story is about ritual of drawing lottery and the one whom lottery falls is killed by townspeople.
In the story, when Mrs. Watson was asked about who will draw for her family, she asserts that she will draw for her family. But the lottery is to be drawn by the male of the family only. So, Jack Watson will draw for his family. Through this incident, one can infer that Mr. Watson has been killed in the previous year's lottery. It is because, now, Jack Watson is head of the Watson family.

Question: Do you think the narrator is to blame for Doodle's death? Why or why not. Explain.
Story name: Scarlet Ibis by James Hurst
This is what I have so far
The narrator shall be blamed as guilty for Doodle´s death. Doodle was young that had a disability which made him different from others. His brother did anything in his power and for his own good to make Doodle have the strength as others and not be different from them. The narrator should´ve been a better person and helped Doodle out knowing that at the moment he was both tired and frightened.
Answers
Answer:
Since the narrator did this as an act of selfishness, he should be blamed guilty for Doodle's death.
Explanation:
During the course of the story, we could see many moments where the inner thoughts and feelings of the narrator are described to the reader. We also get a character named Doodle, which we know has a disability and was different. We know that the narrator had pride, and didn't want to be ashamed for having a brother different from others. We also notice that the narrator was sometimes cruel to Doodle, like when he threatened to leave him unless he touched his own coffin, made when he was expected to die at birth.
The narrator was selfish and prideful and wanted Doodle to be capable, and like others before going to school. When walking, he would quicken his pace or make Doodle swim till he turned blue, or run till he turned red.
In the last scene (which is the scene where Doodle dies), the narrator quickens his pace and runs through the pouring rain, despite Doodle's fear and tiredness. This shows us that the Narrator doesn't appreciate Doodle as he is, and wants Doodle to be someone normal, to not be ashamed.
Therefore, since the narrator did this as an act of selfishness, he should be blamed guilty for Doodle's death.

Explanation:
An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind” – Mahatma Gandhiji. What is the meaning of following quote? Do you agree ? how does it relate to your life or the world?
Answers
Answer:
I agree. It means that when violent trades are blown on both sides, both will be crippled. If humans can choose to resolve a conflict peacefully, no or few eyes will be lost. It relates to us because in Ukraine, about 2 million people have evacuated and many have lost their lives. If this was resolved peacefully, then many people wouldn't have to evacuate and few would have died.
Gandhi, on the other hand, was not on board. His remark "an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind" means that if we continue to punish people we consider cruel, we are no better than the bad ones ourselves. It's the whole "you can't solve violence with violence" spiel.
The main reason "an eye for an eye" cannot be applied to all situations is because it would yield ludicrous results in some cases. A vehicle thief might not possess a car to steal, while an arsonist might not own anything to burn down. Would cops abduct a convicted kidnapper or spy on a Peeping Tom?
And applying "an eye for an eye" to more horrific offenses such as rupe, assault, and attempted murder raises the question of who would carry out such retributions.
However, when considering the death penalty today, the quote may be pertinent.
I hope this helps you

Read the excerpt from We Shall Not Be Moved. Esther Lobetkin, a recent immigrant, became chairman of her Yiddish-speaking group, marching with the strikers by day, then rushing to Clinton Hall to report and attend meetings until the small hours of the morning. A sandwich at midnight and an hour of sleep were all she seemed to need. Although she was arrested time and again, she never failed to yell from the back of the patrol wagon, "Do not lose courage! We'll win yet!" Which best states the author's purpose for naming and describing Esther Lobetkin in the text?
Answers
Answer:
To bring a person from history to life.
