it would be C.

Pun....

The correct answer would be C - this is a pun, or a play on words. The main character's name is Ernest, and it is pronounced the same way as "earnest", meaning "honest", a quality the main character of this play should have.

Misfortune  

A family that loses their home in a storm is experiencing misfortune.

<u>YES</u>

I experienced misfortune when I lost my five dollar bill on the way to the store.

Mistaken

It is possible for a woman to be mistaken for her Identical twin sister

<u>Yes</u>

I'm often mistaken for somebody else as we have the same features.

Superstition

The idea that Friday the 13th is an unlucky day is a common superstition

<u>Yes</u>

One superstition I have heard is that if a black cat crosses your path you will fall to bad-luck and will experience misfortune.

A superstition that I had was that if you broke a mirror you would be cursed for 7 years. This influenced me from a young age not to destroy any reflective surfaces as we had a lot of those in the house. I believed that my parents tried to influence me/ tell me at a young age was so that feared of one day falling into misfortune which luckily never happened. I started to finally not believe the superstition when I opened my locker and my mirror fell and was everywhere and weeks past and nothing bad happened.

Hoped this helped in some way,

Jon

Based on the phrase "Spanish is in my flesh,"<br> what role does the speaker play in this poem?
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

<h3>The speaker plays the role an advocate of her identity.</h3>

Explanation:

  • In the poem "Child of America", the poet, Aurora Levins Morales, establishes her cultural identity and advocates that she is a proud child of the Americas.
  • By the line "Spanish is in my flesh", the poet means that she has Spanish hereditary in her blood. She says this to advocate that each of us are a mixture of different cultures.
  • Therefore, she calls on the need for assimilation and integration of different cultures in the country.

Mr. Ferguson startled the class by requiring (it, them) to write short autobiographical poems.
lozanna [386]
The answer to that question is them. The class is a collective noun for a bunch of students that are learning from a teacher. Since we are referring to people, then we cannot use it because the noun it is used for inanimate objects. Pronouns like them are used to refer to people
