Answer:
Explanation:
This quotation connects to the theme because it represents the censorship that the government in the novel Fahrenheit 451 believes to be good. The quote is from Captain Beatty and it explains his point of view on censoring citizens. Captain Beatty believes that giving the civilians little knowledge of the world is best for the city and that if they were to gain knowledge, it would only create problems because the citizens would be able to question authority and make decisions that could cause harm to one another. This quote relates to the overall theme because it explains the force that Montag is working against and emphasizes his individuality because it describes the norm of society in believing that censorship yields the best results for a harmonic society. Montag is different because he questions society and begins to make his own decisions through gaining knowledge in books. He believes that in order to become happy, not only politically but in every aspect of life, he must explore the world and understand all sides of a question before he can make his own decision. Montag's desire to go against Captain Beatty's rules demonstrates the theme because his inclination to understand the world drives his goal and fuels his rebellion against the law in the interest of living a better life. Captain Beatty's opinion on the censorship of citizens is important to the theme because his opinion is what drives Montag to pursue knowledge in books and acts as an opposing force in the way of Montag's pursuit of a happy life. The quote demonstrates Beatty's reasons behind censoring the citizens. He believes that if the citizens were to gain knowledge they would worry and it would cause problems within the city. The quote connects to the theme by representing the reasoning behind censorship and the motivating force driving Montag to escape government restriction in order to pursue knowledge and understand the world.
Graphic Analysis:
I chose the image of a baby to represent this quote from Fahrenheit 451 because baby's needs are taken care of and they have no need to worry about the world. Babies are innocent and oblivious to the world around them. Their minds are not developed and therefore they don't have the ability to understand what is occurring around them. The baby represents the quote because it symbolizes the happiness Captain Beatty is talking about. The Captain says in order to keep people happy, they must not be worried. The baby represents this because it has no need to worry and doesn't have the ability to question it's surroundings. Babies have comfortable lives because they have all their needs taken care of similar to the citizens in Fahrenheit 451 who have food, shelter, and fancy technology to keep them busy. The happy baby is symbolic of the happy citizens because it doesn't understand life and doesn't question anything. The baby represents the politically happy, brainwashed members of society because as long as the citizens are kept satisfied with fancy technology and other distracting material goods, they stay happy and oblivious to their censorship, just like how babies are kept satisfied with distracting items such as pacifiers and rattle toys to keep them distracted from their real issue.
Answer:
Those words were like magic because it helped him to gain approval from the teachers who punished them when they spoke their native Navajo language.
Explanation:
In the mission school which Ned gained entrance to, it was forbidden for the students to speak their native language. Students caught violating this law were punished by having their mouths washed with soap. Their native names were also replaced with English names.
Ned soon learned that whenever he was called upon by the teachers, the best way to gain their approval was to answer with the words, "Yes, teacher." Answering with his native language would earn him some serious punishment.

Answer:
The correct answer is letter D. A few unhappy customers criticized the company's rigid return policy.
Explanation:
This question is comprised of two parts. First, it asks us to find the sentence that uses active voice.<u> In the active voice, the subject is also the agent who performs the action.</u> On the other hand, in the passive voice, the subject is the one receiving the action. Passive voice is characterized by the use of the verb "be" as an auxiliary along with the main verb in the past participle form. That is exactly what we have in letters A and C -- "were told" and "was criticized" --, so we can eliminate them.
We are left we letters B and D. Let's move on to the second part of the question. <u>We need to find the active voice in a complete sentence. A complete sentence is an independent sentence. It does not depend on another sentence or clause because it expresses a complete thought on its own.</u> We can eliminate letter B, then. It has only one clause that begins with the subordinating conjunction "because". It does not express a complete thought; it actually makes us ask what happened because of the criticism. Therefore, <u>the only possible choice is letter D. It expresses a complete thought on its own and uses active voice: </u><u>A few unhappy customers criticized the company's rigid return policy.</u>
