Select the correct answer.
I offer Mrs. Patel, my friend's mom, some hot chai. I am proud to have mastered the South Asian art of making tea with milk, sugar, and spice. Today, I am excited to have a native of India try my tea. I even pull out a tray and my nicest mug to treat my guest with the utmost respect.
Her eyes become wide as she takes the mug from the tray. "Wow! Even the mugs are twice the size we have back home," she utters, gasping. "Do you mind serving me only half a cup?"
I give in to her request and offer her half a mug of tea. That is when I realize that everything around me is bigger and more than it should be. I think about my walk-in closet overstocked with clothes I hardly wear. This is just the beginning of my realization. Like many of my peers, I have become wasteful.

Which of these sentences would the author most likely agree with?

A. It is important to have different sizes of mugs.
B. We must visit other countries while we are young.
C. People should only have what they really need.
D. People should try drinking more flavors of hot tea.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C. People should only have what they really need.

This is the central idea of the passage. So the author would most like agree with this sentence.

Starting a paragraph with tea is just a way to introduce to audience with author's opinion and to make the passage story like and engaging. With this start author's opinion becomes more relevant. The guest's expression "Wow! Even the mugs are twice the size we have back home," triggers author's realization that he has many extra things in his life. At first it starts with overstocked clothes in his walk-in closet. Then he also realizes that he like many of his peers has become wasteful. So a realization of being wasteful and its regret are the main ideas with which author would most likely agree.

i need a objective summary of chapter 5 of the book name Animal Farm

Answers

Answer:

Winter comes, and Mollie works less and less. Eventually, Clover discovers that Mollie is being bribed off Animal Farm by one of Pilkington's men, who eventually wins her loyalties. Mollie disappears, and the pigeons report seeing her standing outside a pub, sporting one of the ribbons that she always coveted.

The pigs increase their influence on the farm, deciding all questions of policy and then offering their decisions to the animals, who must ratify them by a majority vote. Snowball and Napoleon continue their fervent debates, the greatest of which occurs over the building of a windmill on a knoll. Snowball argues in favor of the windmill, which he is certain will eventually become a labor-saving device; Napoleon argues against it, saying that building the windmill will take time and effort away from the more important task of producing food. The two also disagree on whether they should (as Napoleon thinks) amass an armory of guns or (as Snowball thinks) send out more pigeons to neighboring farms to spread news of the rebellion. On the Sunday that the plan for the windmill is to be put to a vote, Napoleon calls out nine ferocious dogs, who chase Snowball off the farm. Napoleon then announces that all debates will stop and institutes a number of other new rules for the farm.

Three weeks after Snowball's escape, Napoleon surprises everybody by announcing that the windmill will be built. He sends Squealer to the animals to explain that the windmill was really Napoleon's idea all along and that the plans for it were stolen from him by Snowball.  

ANALYSIS:  (If needed)

The defection of Mollie marks her as an even greater materialist than she had appeared to be earlier in the novel. The fact that she is bribed away from Animal Farm with sugar and ribbons — two items that Snowball condemned as unnecessary for liberty in Chapter 2 — shows her desire for luxury without making the necessary sacrifices to obtain it. She is a defector from the politics of Animal Farm and is never mentioned by the other animals, who find her abandonment of Animalism and the rebellion shameful. Despite their implied condemnation, however, the pigeons do report that "She appeared to be enjoying herself" — much more so than the animals who remain on the farm. Mollie may be politically shallow in the eyes of her former comrades, but she does manage to secure herself a much more comfortable life, which raises the question of whether one is better off living well with one's enemies or suffering with one's comrades. The novel eventually suggests that Mollie did, in fact, make a wise decision in leaving Animal Farm, although (to be fair) she did not do so because of any political or moral motives.

At this point, the pigs have gained more power: Earlier, they were "supervisors," but now they decide "all questions of farm policy." While these decisions still need to be ratified by the other animals, Orwell suggests that the pigs are gaining ground at a slow but steady rate. But with the "bitterly hard weather" that arrives that winter, so do "bitterly hard" debates increase between Snowball and Napoleon. Actually, "debate" is hardly the correct term, since only Snowball attempts to use rhetoric and logic to sway the other animals — Napoleon uses a number of what Squealer will later call "tactics" to get his way. For example, Napoleon spends time during the week training the sheep to break into their "Four legs good, two legs bad" bleating during "crucial moments" in Snowball's speeches; packing the meetings with his own unwitting supporters is Napoleon's calculated strategy here. His unleashing of the nine dogs later in the chapter is Napoleon's ultimate "debating technique": Violence, not oratory, is how Napoleon settles disagreements.

The windmill itself is a symbol of technological progress. Snowball wants it to be built because he thinks it will bring to the farm a degree of self-sufficiency — which accords with the principles of Animalism. Napoleon, however, cares nothing for the windmill (and even urinates on Snowball's plans for it) because he is only concerned with establishing his totalitarian rule. At the debate on the windmill, Snowball argues that after it is built, the animals will only need to work three days a week, while Napoleon argues that "if they wasted time on the windmill they would all starve to death."

Obviously someone new (a person) has been mentioned in the sentence before. The only sentence that has introduced a female subject is the sentence:

Read the passage. Coral reefs are large, underwater formations found in the ocean that are made up of the skeletons of marine invertebrates, called coral. There are many different species of coral in oceans all over the world. Coral plays a critical role in the ocean because many species depend on coral for survival. Coral reefs help to shield coastal populations from erosion, storms, and waves. Millions of species in the ocean also depend of coral for food and shelter. But coral is in danger due to many threats including pollution and certain fishing practices. When reefs are healthy, the ocean is healthy. For this reason, many efforts have been established in order to protect coral. What does the author imply in the passage?
A. Coral is commonly collected by fisherman and used for food.
B. Coral is left scarce in the ocean due to fishing practices.
C. Coral is an essential part of the ocean and should be preserved.
D. Coral is found everywhere and is in ready supply in all oceans.

Answers

Answer: B not 100% sure but i am 50% sure.

Explanation:

Coral reefs are the oceanic structures that are the skeletons of marine invertebrates. The passage implies that the corals are an essential part of the ocean and must be preserved.

What is the importance of corals?

Corals or coral reefs are the hard calcareous skeleton of the marine invertebrate that are found anchored to oceanic floors. They play an important role in the oceanic ecosystem.

Many small organisms and species live in corals and feed on small planktonic creatures. They act as shelter and provide food to other organisms.

But, increasing water pollution and overfishing have led to a decrease in corals and had affected the ecosystem and organisms dependent on it.

Therefore, option C. coral is a crucial part and should be preserved.

Read the excerpt from "Island of Hope, Island of Tears." Giuseppe D'Amico (Teresa's father) "had a hard time finding a job in America. He was an electrician by trade, but he couldn't get a job in Manhattan because the electricians were already unionized." Which statement correctly identifies the cause-and-effect relationship?

Answers

Answer:

The statement that identifies the cause and effect relationship is: The unionization of electricians causes Giuseppe D'Amico's difficulty in finding a job.

Explanation:

A cause and effect relationship can be presented when we see a sentence where one element causes the existence of another. Regarding the excerpt shown in the question above, we can see that Teresa's father is having a hard time finding a job as an electrician. That's because in America, electricians are union members and this prevents electricians without union members, like Teresa's father, from being hired. This shows that the unionization of electricians is the cause and the difficulty of finding a job is the effect.

Despite the fact that the American President then Woodrow Wilson, a Democrat, championed democracy in the world during the wartime, the disenfranchizement of women in America was seen by the National Woman's Party as hypocrisy on his part. Therefore, the group started picketing the White House from between January 10, 1917 until June 1919.

Explanation:

This question is about Macbeth. Where the porter scene refers to the moment when he makes a joke about him he is guarding the gates of hell. This may serve to give a certain relief to me with the scenes that will follow, but it is also a subjunctive way of foreshadowing the homicide that will be established, in addition to creating a heavy atmosphere in the work. The porter also says that he is opening the gates for the soldiers who "carousing till the second c**k" this alludes to the c**k that sang when Peter denied and betrayed Christ three times, foreshadowing the betrayal that Macbeth would do to King Duncan.

Write an essay that analyzes a theme in The Call of the Wild.

plz add on to what I have so far:

The Call of the Wild "is the tale of the transformation of Buck, an intelligent, people-friendly dog, who got used to town and campfires into a forest resident named by his wild instincts." With a change in lifestyle, the first changes in Buck's character began. The dog, who was a member of a rich family and had everything in the life of his dog, became the dog used in the snowy deserts of Alaska for sled transport.

Another important trait of Buck's character is his desire for superiority. The German philosopher Fried rich Nietzsche and his philosophy of "will to power" influenced the subject of leadership in this work by Jack London. This theory says that there are people who want to conquer and "slaves" who do not have this will. The concept of death in the battle to be prime is also in the list of themes that the author wanted to highlight in "The Call of the Wild."

Answers

The Call of the Wild "is the story of the change of Buck, a keen, human cordial canine, who got utilized being visiting the area and pit fires then into a woodland occupant named by his wild senses." With an adjustment of way of life, the principal changes in Buck's person started. The canine, who was an individual from a rich family and had everything in a wretched existence , turned into the canine utilized in the blanketed deserts of Alaska for sled transport.    The idea of death in the fight to be prime is likewise in the rundown of subjects that the creator needed to feature in "The Call of the Wild."

As I would see it craving for predominance is the topic for this story, it associates with a great deal of the characters in the story including Buck and Spitz. One of the essential subjects in Jack London's The Call of the Wild is the steady clash among civilization and ferocity in both the human and the canine characters. The hero of the novel is Buck, a noble man's canine in California who is seized and taken to the cruel wilds.
