Answer 1

Answer:

The sentence which best describes how the setting contributes to the theme of appearance versus reality is:

4. The shabby cab, which returns Madame Loisel home, suggests that she will never fulfill her aspiration to be embraced by the wealthy on a modest income.

Explanation:

This question refers to the short story "The Necklace", which also goes by the title "The Diamond Necklace", by Guy de Maupassant, a French writer who lived from 1850 to 1893.

In the story, Madame Loisel dreams of being rich and of owning beautiful things. This desire consumes her thoughts and her days. Having a party to attend, and being dissatisfied with her own clothes and accessories, Madame Loisel borrows a diamond necklace from a wealthy friend.

When she leaves the party, she and her husband are unable to find a decent cab. They end up taking a shabby cab of the type that only goes around at night, as if "ashamed to show [its] shabbiness during the day." The author chooses to give these characters only a shabby cab because he wants to contrast their appearance with their reality. Yes, they have just left a fancy party. And yes, Madame Loisel is wearing a diamond necklace (although it is actually fake, but she does not know it). However, they are still the same people they were before. Nothing has changed. They aren't wealthier all of a sudden. They will not return to a castle. They do not even own their own carriage, but need a cab to drive around.

With that in mind, the best option is number 4.

Explanation:

The hobbit.

Chapter 1 opens as the wizard Gandalf visits the hobbit Bilbo Baggins and invites him to join in an adventure. Bilbo declines, reluctant to leave the safety and comfort of his hobbit-hole. The next day, he is visited by dwarves who believe Bilbo can be of use to them in their journey to the Lonely Mountain to reclaim their ancestral treasure, now in the possession of Smaug the dragon. Bilbo realizes that Gandalf had represented him to the dwarves as a burglar. He reluctantly agrees to go, but he changes his mind the next morning. Gandalf urges him to join them, however, and they depart — a band of fourteen.

Chapters 2 through 10 depict Bilbo, Gandalf, and the dwarves traveling out of the hobbit-lands toward the Lonely Mountain far to the east. As the landscape becomes less hospitable and the group faces hunger, bad weather, and attacks from hostile creatures, Bilbo often thinks fondly of home and questions his decision to come on this journey. In the Lone-lands, the travelers encounter trolls who capture the dwarves and tie them up in sacks, planning to roast and eat them later. They are rescued by Gandalf and Bilbo, who produces a key he found nearby. The key unlocks the trolls' secret cave, where the travelers find gold and weapons, to which they help themselves. They travel on to the valley of Rivendell at the edge of the Wild, and stay at the home of Elrond, a hospitable elf leader. Elrond translates the runes on the swords that Gandalf and Thorin Oakenshield, king of the dwarves, took from the trolls' cave; they are ancient swords called Orcrist and Glamdring that come from dragon plunder or the Goblin-wars. Elrond also translates Thorin's map, which clarifies the importance of Durin's Day, the first day of the dwarves' New Year.. After two weeks, Bilbo, Gandalf, and the dwarves resume their journey. Approaching the Misty Mountains, they take shelter from a storm in a cave that turns out to be the Great Goblin's cavern. The Goblins capture Bilbo and his companions and take their ponies. Using Glamdring, Gandalf kills the Great Goblin and frees Bilbo and the dwarves. The travelers try to find their way out of the cave as the Goblins retreat, but Bilbo falls on his way out and loses consciousness.

Read the excerpt from The Odyssey.
Now Zeus the lord of cloud roused in the north
a storm against the ships, and driving veils
of squall moved down like night on land and sea.
The bows went plunging at the gust; sails
cracked and lashed out strips in the big wind.
We saw death in that fury, dropped the yards,
unshipped the oars, and pulled for the nearest lee:
then two long days and nights we lay offshore
worn out and sick at heart, tasting our grief,
until a third Dawn came with ringlets shining.
Then we put up our masts, hauled sail, and rested,
letting the steersmen and the breeze take over.

A breakfast cereal contains the vitamins thiamin, riboflavin and niacin in the ratio 2:3725.
2
A bowl of cereal contains 10mg of these vitamins. Calculate the amount of riboflavin in a
bowl of cereal.​

Answers

Answer:

the amount of riboflavin in a  bowl of cereal is 1 mg

Explanation:

Given that

The bowl of cereal contains 10mg

and, the ratio of the  vitamins thiamin, riboflavin and niacin  is 2:3:25

We need to find out the amount of riboflavin in a  bowl of cereal

SO, it should be

= 10 mg × 3 ÷ (2 + 3 + 25)

= 1 mg

hence, the amount of riboflavin in a  bowl of cereal is 1 mg

Answers

The correct answer is D. He uses pathos to appeal to the listeners' suspicion and fear of Germany.

Explanation

When a speaker uses Pathos in a speech he makes use of the emotions and empathy that causes his speech and charisma in the audience. Usually, these speeches are used by politicians or candidates to move large groups of people. In the fragment of the speech, Churchill refers to the characteristics of his enemy (German) as "there is no dirty trick he will not do" to arouse fear in the audience. Therefore, the correct answer is D. He uses pathos to appeal to the listeners' suspicion and fear of Germany.

2. I - personal, singular

3. herself - intensive, singular

4. you - personal, singular

5. ourselves - intensive, plural

6. his - possessive, singular

7. they - personal, plural

8. herself - reflexive, singular

9. their - possessive, plural

10. yourselves - intensive, plural

11. them - personal, plural

12. themselves - reflexive, plural

Explanation:

Personal pronouns are associated with grammatical persons - first person, second person, and third person - according to who the speaker is, who he or she is talking to, and who he or she is talking about. Personal pronouns can function as subjects of a sentence - I, you, he, she, it, we, they - or as objects - me, you, him, her, it, us, them.Possessive pronouns are used to indicate that something belongs to someone. As a matter of fact, they are only pronouns when they substitute a noun mentioned in the sentence or in the conversation as a whole - mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs. If they accompany the noun instead of substituting it, they are possessive adjectives - my, your, his, her, its, our, their.Reflexive pronouns and intensive pronouns look exactly the same: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, and themselves. The difference lies in the way they are employed. Reflexive pronouns indicate the performer and the receiver of the action are the same person. Example: I accidentally cut myself with the knife - "I" performed the action of cutting and "I" also received it. Intensive pronouns are used for emphasis: The President himself talked to me - It was the President, not someone else, and he is quite an important person.
