This question is missing the excerpt. I've found it online. It is the following:

Read the excerpt from Part 4 of The Odyssey.

As long as bread and good red wine remained  to keep the men up, and appease their craving,  they would not touch the cattle. But in the end,  when all the barley in the ship was gone,  so hunger drove them to scour the wild shore  with angling hooks, for fishes and seafowl,  whatever fell into their hands; and lean days  wore their bellies thin.
Answer:

The theme that is best revealed by this conflict is:

A. It is easy to uphold morals when one is not suffering.

Explanation:

<u>In this part of the epic poem The Odyssey, by Homer, the hero Odysseus and his men have landed on an island. Even though there is cattle in the island, Odysseus has been warned to not allow his men to kill and eat it, since this cattle is sacred. However, the men are only capable of upholding their morals and respecting the order to not kill the cattle while they are not suffering. As long as they have food and wine, the cattle is safe. But, once they have consumed their provisions, they forget about their morals and the warning, kill the cattle, and end up dead as a punishment from the gods.</u>

Which idea is expressed in this excerpt from "Anecdote of the Jar" by Wallace Stevens?
marshall27 [118]
Taking the whole poem into account, I think the correct answer must be C.

The jar is a small, common, impersonal object, but in Stevens' view, it affects the nature, depriving it of its inherent wilderness. Although it is one of a thousand, it still has the power and dominion over nature. Its meaningless existence leaves a negative trail in this world. If the jar was regarded as faceless a person living in a highly commercialized, industrialized world, and the nature as freedom, the parallel would be all the more effective.

Which of the following words uses the Latin suffix -able in the same way as uncomfortable from paragraph 27 of Kindertransport?
enot [183]

D. <em>uncharitable</em>.

The suffix <em>-able</em>, borrowed from Old French and originally from the Latin <em>-ābilis</em> (meaning "worthy of being acted upon"), can have different meanings.

The most common one is "fit/liable to be (done)," as in:

  • <em>likeable</em> - fit to be liked
  • <em>washable</em> - fit to be washed
  • <em>degradable</em> - liable to be degraded.

This, however, does not apply to <em>comfortable</em>. Another meaning of <em>-able</em>, however, is "giving, or inclined to," as in:

  • <em>comfortable</em> - giving comfort
  • <em>(un)charitable</em> - (not) inclined to charity.

Okay so a direct object is something that directly affects the subject. Indirect objects follow the direct object.
Ex: “I bought Mary some books.” Mary would be the direct object & books would be the indirect.

Explain this quote from the Norton Field Guide: "Remember that your stance as an author needs to be clear: simply stringing toge
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

The quote means that as an author, your purpose must be made very clear. As a result of that, just pirating or copying other people's work into your own is not ideal and sufficient. The author must clarify and convince the readers how the information he got from outside sources relate to each other and are relevant to his thesis. This can also be achieved by proper referencing of the source materials.

Explanation:

The Norton Field Guide is known to help teachers to teach the way they want to teach. There are color-coded links which help the students to get more detail if the need arises. The Norton Field Guide usually have short chapters with the availability of just

enough detail which can be assigned in any order. With the help of menus, directories, and a glossary/index, finding book is made easy.
