The correct answer to what do Bixby's expressions suggest about his character is the last option: He has a natural, highly witty sense of humor.

When Bixby says things like "By the great Caesar's ghost" or "you don't know enough to pilot a cow down a lane", it becomes clear that he has a funny, comical and somehow inventive character. His expressions are jokes or puns that seem to be natural, they appear to be common or usual in his speech and to come intuitively. So, the correct answer to what the expressions suggest about Bixby's character is that he has a natural, highly witty sense of humor.

The correct answer couldn't be the first option, "He has a large and somewhat imposing personality" because there is nothing imposing about the comments Bixby does. He is, indeed, a little bit acid, but not at all imposing. On the contrary, he asks for Moses' help and says that he believes him. Therefore, the correct answer couldn't be "He has a large and somewhat imposing personality".

The correct answer couldn't be the second option, "He does not get along well with any other people", because there is nothing on his way of speaking which indicates that his jokes, puns or way of expressing himself are not well excepted by people. On the contrary, he seems to be acid, humorous, but also friendly. Thus, the correct answer couldn't be "He does not get along well with any other people".

The correct answer couldn't be the third option, "He is extremely well read and well educated" because Bixby shows no signs of that. On the contrary, when he speaks, his expressions are informal and conversational. So, the correct answer couldn't be "He is extremely well read and well educated".

Your task is to write an Essay on How My Family Deals with the Pandemic

raketka [301]

Answer:

Explanation:

It's not an easy thing dealing with the pandemic. Like in most families, it's the same with mine, tough. The fact that we can't go out when we please is an insane level of a new normal. One that is very difficult to get through. Despite the advent of social media and all, people still relish meeting one another physically, to bond, to share a nice time and to be happy.

The effect of the pandemic meant we could not see one another, physically, not when we wanted and not how we wanted. Too many restrictions which was definitely meant for our own good, but tough to live by. The fact that we couldn't even do grocery shopping, and had to rely on everything being delivered to us. How about the absence of jobs? It's a tough one, in fact, the toughest one. Bills have to be paid, but there isn't job anymore so how does one pay it?

Coming out of the pandemic seems to be a miracle particularly when everyone was clueless when it started. Now, with lesser restrictions, even if life hasn't gotten back to how it was, it's transitioning into how it used to be. And this happens to be a very positive thing
