What is the connotation of the word *common* as it is used in the excerpt from “The Necklace”?

frozen [14]

Answer:

B. Unrefined

Explanation:

Are you sure your quote is correct?

The copy of the story I found has the following version of the excerpt:

"The other, astonished to be familiarly addressed by this plain good-wife, did not recognize her at all, and stammered:

"But—madame!—I do not know—You must have mistaken.""

Of the three answer choices, the second one, in my opinion, works best.

A little earlier in the story, we read this about Mathilde:

"Mme. Loisel looked old now. She had become the woman of impoverished households—strong and hard and rough. With frowsy hair, skirts askew, and red hands, she talked loud while washing the floor with great swishes of water."

Unrefined (i.e. uncultured, not characterized by good taste or manners) would definitely be a good word to describe Mathilde Loisel.

Answer:

1. Natasha decides that she wants to be an equine veterinarian.

2. Natasha researches more about what it’s like to be a veterinarian.

3. Natasha learns more about the different possible veterinarian types.

4. Natasha decides that being an equine veterinarian is the best choice for her.

Explanation:

At the beginning we need to understand the nature of this process and its steps, so we could know what steps our options fall into.

The decision-making process is the process of making choices by identifying a decision, gathering information, and assessing alternative resolutions.

There are 7 main steps of the decision-making process:

Step 1: Identify the decision. You have to make a decision what topic you want to learn more about, it means what you want exactly and in what direction to move. From the given choices - Natasha decides that she wants to be an equine veterinarian.

Step 2: Gather relevant information. You have to gather as much information as you can on the needed topic, you can look everywhere: the internet, books, asking people, etc. From the given choices - Natasha researches more about what it’s like to be a veterinarian.

Step 3: Identify the alternatives. While you are searching for information, you will definitely run into alternatives to the needed topic. It is also very important to learn about alternatives. From the given choices - Natasha learns more about the different possible veterinarian types.

Step 4: Weigh the evidence. You have to evaluate what you've found. What you think is good for you and your future, and what is not.

Step 5: Choose among alternatives. Once you evaluated all the information on the needed topic and its alternatives, you need to choose what suits you best. From the given options - Natasha decides that being an equine veterinarian is the best choice for her.

Step 6: Take action. You have to start doing what you've decided (in our case, Natasha needs to attend university to become veterinarian).

Step 7: Review your decision & its consequences. After some times you see the results of your decision and evaluate it; if it was worth it or not, or you have to change your decision.

I hope it helped you :)

Study the cartoon Creating Entitlement Minded Winners by Ed Wilson. How does exaggeration create irony in this cartoon? The larg

Anestetic [448]

Answer: I would contend that the right answer is the C) The oversized trophies create irony because readers expect that they are for winning, not participation.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that irony, which reflects an incongruity (an inconsistency) between what is expected and the actual result, is more clearly created here by representing huge trophies. A trophy is something that someone wins or receives in recognition of a victory, and the reader expects the son to be a true winner, due in part to the fact that the trophies are very ostentatious. However, one of the trophies in the cartoon, in particular, has the shape of a hand with the index finger raised, forming an angle with the thumb, which suggests the letter L (a visual symbol for the word "loser"). This, together with the answer from the father, emphasize the ironic message of the cartoon.
