Read the selection below from the short story "The Pit and the Pendulum" by Edgar Allan Poe and answer the
question that follows.
Amid the thought of the fiery destruction that impended, the idea of the coolness of the well came over my soul like
balm. I rushed to its deadly brink. I threw my straining vision below. The glare from the enkindled roof illumined its
inmost recesses. Yet, for a wild moment, did my spirit refuse to comprehend the meaning of what I saw. At length it
forced—it wrestled its way into my soulit burned itself in upon my shuddering reason. O for a voice to speak! -oh,
horror!-oh, any horror but this! With a shriek I rushed from the margin and buried my face in my hands-weeping
bitterly.

Read this excerpt from Holes.
The shovel felt heavy in Stanley’s soft, fleshy hands. He tried to jam it into the earth, but the blade banged against the ground and bounced off without making a dent. The vibrations ran up the shaft of the shovel and into Stanley’s wrists, making his bones rattle.
It was still dark. The only light came from the moon and the stars, more stars than Stanley had ever seen before. It seemed he had only just gotten to sleep when Mr. Pendanski came in and woke everyone up.
Using all his might, he brought the shovel back down onto the dry lake bed. The force stung his hands but made no impression on the earth. He wondered if he had a defective shovel. He glanced at Zero, about fifteen feet away, who scooped out a shovelful of dirt and dumped it on a pile that was already almost a foot tall.
Which list shows the narrative structure of this excerpt?
Stanley tries to jam the shovel into the earth, Mr. Pendanski wakes everyone, Stanley thinks his shovel is defective, Stanley sees Zero’s pile of dirt.
Stanley sees Zero’s pile of dirt, Stanley thinks his shovel is defective, Mr. Pendanski wakes everyone, Stanley tries to jam the shovel into the earth.

Both articlesinclude the fact that fact that electic cars are powered by rechargeable batteries. How does"Car Tunes" interpret this fact differently?

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You did not include the articles for reference, neither the options for this question. However, doing some research we can say the following.

"Car Tunes" can be interpreted this fact differently in that "It states only the benefit of plugging in the battery to power up.".

One of the most important ideas of the articles is that people have to understand the benefits of Eco-friendly machines that do not harm the environment and uses a "green" form of energy that benefits nature.

Traditional forms of energy such as the combustion of oil, fossil fuels, really damage the environment and create air pollution and water pollution. Some scientists think both are direct causes of climate change that is affecting our planet at this precise moment. That is why the planet has to invest more in these kinds of "alternative forms of energy."

Answer:

It states only the benefit of plugging in the battery to power up.

Opinion-based statements are usually on the basis of one's personal opinion or belief and not on facts. We can see that the author just gave his opinion, as seen in the first sentence in the table.

Critical refers to an analysis of something on the merits, demerits and faults. The second and last statements are clear examples of critical statement.

Informative refers to something which gives more information about another thing. Shaw winning the Nobel Prize is imformative because it informs the reader of the award Shaw received.

What is the meaning of the foreign expression in bold? The Army Art Program began during World War I as a way to record history and boost morale. As part of the artist-in-residence program, eight soldier-artists were given carte blanche to use any style or medium they desired to create art depicting the lives of American soldiers.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Since this question has no options, I will offer a general explanation of the foreign expression.

The sentence we are analyzing here presents the French expression "carte blanche". Giving someone carte blanche means giving them total freedom to do something. For example: Mr. Johnson gave us carte blanche to choose the theme for our final paper.

In the passage, we are told "eight soldier-artists were given carte blanche". That means they were free to do whatever they chose to; they were free to use "any style or medium" they wanted.

PLEASE HELLPPPP The town of Madisonville, Texas was hit by a strong storm in late July. Most of the city lost power for several hours, and damage was severe in parts of the city. The Lakeside Cafe, famous for its misspelled sign saying, “Chicken-Fried Stake,” lost its roof in the storm. Amazingly, no employees or customers were injured. John Paxton, who was eating in the restaurant at the time, said, “They told us there was no way to know if it was a tornado or not. Well, I’ve never seen this kind of damage from anything but a tornado.”
Fallen limbs and downed power lines were also common problems across the city, blocking passage down dozens of streets. Crews worked for days without pause to restore power and to cut and haul away large limbs. With many businesses closed until power could be restored, hundreds of local residents found themselves stuck at home without electricity and therefore without air conditioning. Local woman Sally H. was sitting on her front porch, fanning herself with a shoe catalog. “It’s hot,” she said. “Normally, I would enjoy a day off of work, but this isn’t a normal day off.”
The hospital was able to stay open and powered by electricity generators. Furman Simms, working the front desk, said it seemed almost like a normal day. “We saw more people today than usual,” he explained, “but it wasn’t bad. We never ran out of beds. I expected it to be a lot busier.”The reader can infer that hundreds of Madisonville residents were probably

In the poem i know why the caged bird sing how does the poet described the world of nature​

Answers

Answer:

The poet described the world of nature in two ways: it's something fun and exciting for the free bird (the white people) while it's something painful and sad for the caged bird (the black people). For example, the first verse shows what the free bird can do with all his freedom. He can enjoy everything around him to the point that he becomes selfish that he "dares to claim the sky." On the other hand, the caged bird feels scared because he doesn't know so much due to his imprisonment. He feels like everything is a nightmare and all he ever wishes for is his freedom.

Explanation:

"I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings" is a poem written by Maya Angelou, a poet who grew up in Arkansas. This poem is related to Maya's autobiography where she wrote all the trauma she encountered from childhood until she grew up. During her time, racism was very common and she was able to experience what it felt like being a "caged bird."
