Shedding Light on a Dark Day, by Robin Meriwether

On May 19, 1780, the skies over New England turned dark in the middle of the day. For more than two hundred years, New England's Dark Day had been shrouded in mystery. Some blamed volcanoes. Some suggested supernatural events. Some claimed it was a sign from the heavens. No one knew for certain what happened. Many thought the mystery would never be solved.

Researchers at the University of Missouri were fascinated by the case. They began examining trees in all surrounding areas. Fire damage in a Canadian forest finally revealed the truth. Scientists looked at burned tree rings and discovered that huge wildfires once raged in the mountains near Ontario. The savage flames created blankets of black smoke. The smoke traveled high into the atmosphere, darkening the New England skies hundreds of miles away.

How do paragraph one and paragraph two work together to present the author's ideas?
Paragraph one explains the cause of investigation. Paragraph two shows the results.
Paragraph one offers a solution. Paragraph two explains a problem the solution creates.
Paragraph one presents facts. Paragraph two presents additional facts on the same topic.
Paragraph one and paragraph two do not have a clear connection to each other.

The correct answer would be option A. "Paragraph one explains the cause of investigation and Paragraph two shows the results". This is because in the first paragraph the author is letting you know about an event that no one knew the reason for its appearance (so it is a cause for investigation) and in the second paragraph the author explains the results of the research conducted to explain said event. Option B is not correct because the first paragraph would be the problem and the second paragraph would be the solution. Option C is not correct either because the second paragraph is more than facts, it is answers. And finally, Option D is not correct because there is a clear connection between both paragraphs (since they are about the same subject).

Answer:

The author's ideas are present through these paragraphs as first Paragraph explains the cause of investigation and second Paragraph shows the results.

Explanation:

The cause of investigation is presented in paragraph one. The author takes its reader to the day when the skies over New England turned dark. And to know the reason behind this phenomenon the researchers examined trees and found out that savage flames created by the wildfires near Ontario caused this thick blanket of smoke in the skies of New England.

Answer:

<em>1. "Though I have seen my head (grown slightly bald) brought in upon a platter, </em>

<em>I am no prophet—and here’s no great matter;"</em>

<em>2. "To say: “I am Lazarus, come from the dead,"</em>

Explanation:

T.S. Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" is a poem that deals with the themes of alienation, isolation amidst the tortured psyche of the modern man and his 'overconfidence' life. This modernism poem is from the speaker, Alfred Prufrock's perspective, delving into his love life and his need or desire to consummate his relationship with the lover.

An allusion is one literary device that writers use to provide details in their work. It makes reference to other pieces or works in this description. And two instances of biblical allusion are found in the lines <em>"I am no prophet"</em> and <em>"To say: To say: “I am Lazarus, come from the dead".</em> The first "prophet" allusion is about John the Baptist whose head was cut off and brought on a platter on the request of Herodias's daughter to Herod (Matthew 14, Mark 6). And the second allusion is to Lazarus, whom Jesus raised from the grave/ dead (John 11).

Richard Connell uses personification often in his short story "The Most Dangerous Game." Which line from this excerpt is an exam
a_sh-v [17]
The example of personification in this excerpt is: An apprehensive night crawled slowly by like a wounded snake and sleep did not visit Rainsford, although the silence of a dead world was on the jungle.
Personification is when inanimate things have human qualities. Here, a night cannot be apprehensive/crawl, because it is not alive.
