The Fowl in the Pot
by Stanley). Weyman (excerpt)
Arriving at a house, which, if we might judge in the darkness, seemed to be of rather greater pretensions than its fellows, our guide stopped, and
whispered to us to mount some steps to a raised wooden gallery, which intervened between the lane and the doorway. On this, besides the
door, a couple of unglazed windows looked out. The shutter of one was ajar, and showed us a large, bare room, lighted by a couple of rushlights.
Directing us to place ourselves close to this shutter, the innkeeper knocked at the door in a peculiar fashion, and almost immediately entered,
going at once into the lighted room. Peering cautiously through the window we were surprised to find that the only person within, save the
newcomer, was a young woman, who, crouching over a smoldering fire, was crooning a lullaby while she attended to a large black pot
Which word best describes the tone of the excerpt?
OA mysterious
OB
frustrated
OC mocking
OD. troubled

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Mysterious

Explanation:

In literature, the term tone refers to the mood created by the author's word choice and the way that the text makes the reader feel.

The tone of the given excerpt is mysterious. Described events begin in darkness, which means that the house is not completely visible. There are some things the narrator can make out, though. The shutter of one window is ajar, giving hints of what is inside. The characters look at what is going on in there through the window, seeing a young woman singing a lullaby while attending to a large black pot. We don't know who the woman is, what she is doing exactly, or what's in the pot. Everything is somewhat mysterious, and we want to find out more.

How does Fitzgerald use sarcasm and irony to convey his point of view about society during Gatsby’s time? Support your answer with textual evidence.

Answers

Explanation:

The author F. Scott Fitzgerald employed the use of irony and sarcasm in several instances to convey his point of view about society during Gatsby’s time in the story. Note, Irony is a literary device that employs using expressions or actions whose true meanings are actually opposite of what is said or done.

For example, if we could remember from chapter 2 that Myrtle Wilson who is married to a man who isn't affluent, just an auto-mechanic, tries to paint herself as a woman of wealth, saying how it had been difficult to find "suitable help". This is an irony because she doesn't fit such a personality.

How do you believe people can move from stereotype all the way to genocide? What does it take for someone to be willing to "look the other way" when a genocide is happening? Do you believe that genocide is something that could happen in today's society? Why or why not?

Answers

Answer:

Find the answers and explanation below.

Explanation:

1. When people are stereotyped (that is have a particular way they view those who are different from them, which is usually negative) towards others they tend to develop hatred for them. All the actions of the stereotyped group are viewed with suspense and when the opportunity presents itself (perhaps in form of a small misunderstanding), the hatred can compel those with stereotyped views to exterminate the others.

2. So long as the individual does not belong to the victimized group, and he also nurses ill-feelings about them, then, he can actually 'look the other way' when a genocide is happening.

3. I strongly believe that genocide is something that could happen in today's society.

In today's society when people hate others because they do not come from their tribes, nor share the same skin color with them, and these views are escalated through comments on the internet, a genocide can easily happen. It takes just a volatile comment from a person with a negative view of others, a reaction from an offended person, and the publicization of such an event for a genocide to happen.

A city fair is usually held at any specific date throughout the year. In India, many old fairs are held for years, around the same period. Trade fairs are for selling unique artifacts, crafts, jewelry, furniture, etc. It is also for commercial activities with a limited presence of fun and entertainment activities. A festive fair, on the other hand, is held during a festival season.

For example, a Durga puja fair in a city is held during the Durga puja festival and Pongal fair in southern India is held during the Pongal festival. During Holi also many fairs occur in different parts of the country.

Another fair which occurs in the city is Book Fair. A group of publishers and dealers organize Book Fair in order to promote books and improving sales. A book fair displays books belonging to various disciplines, ranging from history to autobiographies, storybooks, science books, books on literature, fictional books, encyclopedias, books on general knowledge, etc.

A city fair is usually held in an open field inside the city. The field for the fair could be small or big, depending on its availability or on the size of the fair. The most significant sign of a city fair is the noise that is heard on the loudspeakers.

Someone outside the fair hears different commercial and entertainment activities through loudspeakers. Vendors selling their products, a magician calling eager children, call for audiences to witness a just to begin stunt performance and other activities could be heard simultaneously.

Read “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost. Which statement best describes the main idea of the poem?

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Which of the following most likely describes how the author of "Wealthier than Kings" adapted the turning point in "Sonnet 29"?

Answers

Answer:B ash

Explanation:

stream better by zayn and golden by harry styles

The one that most adequately narrates the way in which the author of "Wealthier than Kings" modified the twist in Sonnet 29 would be:

B). The author of "Wealthier than Kings" had an earlier turning point than "Sonnet 29" and the text was, therefore, more positive overall than the poem was.

Turning point is characterized only as the event that shifts the entire course of the story and gives it a different turn and twist that takes it to a whole new level. As per the details provided in both the works i.e. "Wealthier than Kings," as well as, "Sonnet 29," they involve turning points in a varied manner.In the former text, the turning point takes place earlier while in the latter, the turning point had remained comparatively positive.

Thus, option B is the correct answer.
