<u>Answer:</u>

spendthrift

<u>Explanation:</u>

A spendthrift is a person who spends money in an irresponsible way, or in other words, wastes money.

The word "spendthrift" has a negative connotation because of the image of wastefulness attached to it.

The words "generous", "benevolent", and "philanthropic" are used to compliment people, and do not have any negative connotations.

aniked [119]

This question is incomplete. I have found the complete question online. It is the following:

Read the legend titled "The Bird Chief."

All the birds were called together. To them was said, “Whichever one of you can fly farthest into the sky shall be chief.”  

All the birds flew to a great height. But Wren got under the thick feathers of Eagle and sat there as Eagle flew. When all the birds became wing-tired, they flew down again; but Eagle flew still higher. When Eagle had gone as far as he could, Wren flew still higher.  

When all the birds reached the ground, Eagle alone returned, after a great while. Behold! Wren only was absent. So they awaited him. At last he returned. Eagle had too highly been thinking of himself, being sure of being made chief; and behold! Wren was made chief.

How should a summary of this story begin?  

A. by describing how Wren hid under Eagle's wing

B. with the words, "Long ago, in a far-away land"

C. by explaining that all the birds came together for a contest

D. with the words, "Eagle had too highly been thinking of himself"

Answer:

A summary of this story should begin:

C. by explaining that all the birds came together for a contest

Explanation:

When we write a summary, our purpose is to tell something in a shorter, faster way. We must pay attention to and maintain whatever is essential for the story to make sense, ignoring all else in order to keep it short. In the case we are analyzing here, we cannot skip the beginning of the story, otherwise our summary will not make any sense. For that reason, we must begin by explaining that all the birds came together for a contest. The contest is the reason why everything else happened in the story.

Which two lines in this excerpt from Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Contest" suggest that Emperor Nero was ruthless? An hour later th
GrogVix [38]

ANSWER: The two lines that shows that Emperor Nero was ruthless are:

1. “Bring him to me here this instant,” said he, “and let Marcus with his knife and branding-iron be in attendance.”

and

2. "I have half a mind to burn their town about their ears so that they may remember my visit."

These were the two lines from the excerpt which states the ruthlessness of Emperor Nero. He wanted to kill the man because he became more popular than him amongst the common people. Emperor Nero could not bear this popularity which is why he wanted to burn the village down to make his presence remembered.

I look at the world
FrozenT [24]

The line of the poem that shows how the speaker wants to change the world is "That all these walls oppression builds / Will have to go!" (Lines 9-10), as shown in option C.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • The speaker shows how the walls are making him uncomfortable.
  • This oppresses him and it is an oppression that increases upon him with great influence.
  • He realizes that this is not a bad thing and that something must be done to change this situation.
  • For that reason, he decides to get up and go to where he can change that situation.

In this case, we can see that the speaker believes that to change the situation in the world, he needs to get up and do something and not wait for someone to solve it.
