Answers

Answer 1

I pick, "I Wish I Could Remember" by Christina Rossetti

Since I spent a lot of my time on this, don't be afraid to give me a "Thanks" and perhaps a "Brainliest" if it helps!

Title: I think the poem is about Rossetti's memories of when she was a child. She might have wished to go back in time and relive those memories where this was no work, no school, and no trouble in life. Perhaps just a happy life where you are completely oblivious of horrible things such as death and disease.

Paraphrase:

I wish I could recall that first day

That first hour, that first moment of your meeting me

Whether bright or dim the season, it might be

Summer or Winter for aught I know

It slipped away so unrecorded

So blind was I to see and foresee

So dull to mark the budding of my tree

That would not blossom for many a May.

If only I could remember it, such

Such a day of days, I let it pass by 

As if it were a thaw of bygone snow

It seemed to mean so little, yet it seemed to mean so much; 

If only I could recall that touch, 

That first touch of hand in hand – Did one but know!

Connotation: The poem's figurative meaning is the poet wishes to recall the day she first met the man she would later fall in love with. She then shifts to the season in which that first meeting took place. She has no idea whether the season was pleasant or not. It can be implied that the author misses the day she first met the man she would fall in love with. She misses him dearly and would do many things to get the man back. I know this because of the figurative details the author puts into her poem. For example, "That first hour, that first moment of your meeting me". As well as, "Whether bright or dim the season, it might be summer or Winter for aught I know. It slipped away so unrecorded"

Attitude: The tone of the story is discouraged. A very busy mind is at work. Some words in the poem that highlight this mood are, "slipped away", "bygone snow", "recall" and "if only".

Shifts: Changes in the poem include, "That first touch of hand in hand – Did one but know!" This sentence walks us through the narrator's eyes and pictures the first day rather than the rest of the story which is trying to recall the first day.

Title: After I have read the poem, the title means hoping to remember a time where the narrator met a man that she would fall in love with.

Theme: A phrase that describes the message is, "It seemed to mean so little, yet it seemed to mean so much;". This sentence can grab the reader and let them know that every moment you have to spend with someone no matter how little it may seem, it may really mean the world one day.

Answer: diction and images to convey this connection.

Explanation:

The speech connects factory work to the war by thanking workers in various American industries, whereas the poster relies heavily on diction and images to convey this connection.

The speech by Roosevelt thanked the Americans that were responsible for its production and connected them to the war. The poster on the other hand used diction and images to convey this connection.

Answer:

Answer A The poster’s images feature the male factory workers more prominently and almost hides the female worker in the background, while the speech specifically acknowledges both male and female workers equally.

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.

In the 1400s, Spain and Portugal were competing to explore down the coast of Africa and find a sea route to Asia. That way, they could have the prized Asian spices they wanted without having to pay high prices to Venetian and Muslim middlemen. Spanish and Portuguese sailors searching for that sea route conquered the Canary Islands and the Azores. Soon they began building Muslim-style sugar plantations on the islands, some of them staffed by slaves purchased from nearby Africa. One sailor came to know these islands particularly well because he traded in "white gold"—sugar. And then, as he set off on his second voyage across the sea to what he thought was Asia, he carried sugar cane plants from Gomera, one of the Canary Islands, with him on his ship. His name was Christopher Columbus.

How do the details in the passage most support the central idea?

Answer:

The details describe how Spanish and Portuguese explorations helped expand the sugar trade.

Explanation:

The passage explained how the sugar trade expanded. Using the historical evidence of Spanish and Portuguese exploration to depicts how the sugar trade expanded from the Muslim world to the canary islands nearby Africa through the Europeans and later to America.

Hence, the details in the passage support the central idea by describing how the Spanish and Portuguese explorations helped expand the sugar trade.

Answer:

The underlined words are;

2. Homes- direct object

3. Children- Indirect object

4. Relatives- Indirect object

Explanation:

The direct object is the noun that receives the action performed by the verb. It answers the question of who or what. In the first question, if we ask the question, "Who do the Chinese honor?" The answer will be, "their ancestors". For the second question, if we also ask what families do to keep away bad luck, the answer will be to clean their homes. ]

An indirect object receives the action performed by the direct object. The action is performed to or for the indirect object. Who do people give red envelopes filled with money? Answer: to the children. Who do families wish fortune, health, and happiness? Answer: to their relatives.

There can be multiple accents within a dialect.
A. True
B. False

Answers

The correct answer is A. True.

Explanation

A dialect is a variation of the main language that is originated in different geographical regions of a country. Dialects are determined by a factor such as specific words used in the region, and accent (the result of a social, geographical, and cultural process that affects the intonation of words). This means, accents are just a part of dialect and due to this there can be many accents or ways to pronounce words in a dialect. According to the above, the correct answer is A. True.

What is the opposite of smooth? IS LAGGY CORRECT?

Answers

Answer:

Depending on the context in which it is used, laggy may be correctly used as the opposite of smooth.

Explanation:

Smooth could be explained as having a fluid, regular appearance or behavior. Such as having a smooth surface which is devoid of bumps or free of itch. To relate laggy to mean the opposite of smooth, we may need to refer to context where we are evaluating the performance of a machine or system. A smooth performance would mean one which is responsive, and controls are effected almost immediately. While a laggy performance means a situation whereby system is late to respond.

Jason Witten's Salary Negotiation Let's say that tight end Jason Witten (a football player) was given two options when negotiating his contract for the 2017 football season (which was his final season, ). Option 1 was that he would be paid an additional $0.01 (yes one red cent) if he makes only one catch for the season, $0.02 if he makes a total of two catches, $0.04 for a total of three catches and so on, doubling the amount with each catch. Option 2 was that he would be paid a flat $2,000,000 increase from the previous year. Basing this decision on the 2012 season (where he had a career high of 110 total receptions/catches), which option would increase his salary more?
