Answer:

B). Pertelote's screams are likened to the laments of Hasdrubal's wife.

Explanation:

This is the way in which Pertelote, a hen, is compared to Hasdrubal's wife. In this passage, we learn that Pertelote "assailed the ear," which means that it produced a very strong sound that would bother most ears. We also learn that these noises are compared to the laments of Hasdrubal's wife when her husband was killed.

Which group of words from the sentence above gives clues to the meaning of the word countenance?
olga2289 [7]
The correct answer is number 3. eye, lips, nose

As per the question, countenance is said to have a description of calm facial expression, visage, appearance, and the look or the expression of the face. Also, consider expressing a person's character or mood. Countenance can also be a support or encouragement, composure, and also, self-control. To be able to use countenance in a sentence, take this as an example:

Look at the countenance of the man while the different persons were bidding on his wife.

Or maybe use this as another reference and another example to further understand what countenance really means:  

Upon entering the greenhouse, her countenance became radiant that she recites the names of the flowers with which she is familiar, by the sense of smell alone.

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Oh gosh, I had to listen to an audio recording of me doing a speech for my English class to make sure I got it all so this is the perfect time for me to answer this!

What I liked about that way I presented myself is that I was actually able to get all my points across, and in the right order, without going away from the script to much.

What I didn't like for one was my voice (lol) so if I could rerecord that but have someone else speaking for me who sounds more confident and less like me that would be great. Another thing I didn't like was that I sounded nervous, so my points didn't come across as well as they did on paper.

Improvements I would make is actually practicing before diving headfirst into recording, so I can hopefully make they come across stronger. I would also ahead of time research a bit more than I did, and add more facts to the actual debate.

I hope this is a good answer to your questions><
