Answer:

Explanation:

The choices make the answer difficult to settle on.

First of all the meaning. If you have ever dropped a pile of dishes while working in a cafe, you know exactly what it means. It is loud, much louder than the chaos of the noise created by those in the cafe. It startles everyone in there. So it really is a surprise.

It is a bit unappealing, but that is not the fault of the question. It was intended to be unappealing. The answer is not exactly correct. The problem is the figure of speech. You have to try something else. Not D.

Go back to what happened. The noise of dishes dropping is not short. That's the true part of the figure of speech. So don't choose C.

It's not A either. Same reason its not C.

The only answer you can choose is B

Read this line from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven":
gogolik [260]

The correct answer is C. AH, disTINCtly I reMEMber IT was IN the BLEAK DeCEMber.

Edgar Allan Poe's poem, "The Raven," is written in the trochaic octameter. Let us break down what that means:

1. trochaic - this refers to the meter of the poem, trochee. Trochee is the type of meter which consists of two syllables, where the first one is stressed (written in capital letters), and the second one is unstressed (written in lower letters), like in option C

2. octameter - this refers to the number of syllables within the entire line. Octa means eight, and one meter consists of two syllables, so if you multiply those two, you will get the exact number of syllables in one line, which is sixteen.

What knowledge can you gain from science courses that you can apply in life?
Finger [1]

Answer:

I will conclude that modern science, narrowly defined, would be an integral part of some kind of daily life. Further clarification is given below.

Explanation:

  • Yeah, science needs a great dealing of advanced theoretical knowledge, does as well something worth performing. The central method is fundamental, however, because if you concentrate on it, people will find that science isn't even that different from the common activities.
  • Everything is part of the overall mechanism of "trying to make yourself a human with whom you would like to share the entire lives."
