Answer:

The best answer seems to be letter A. Death may not seem friendly, but he should be treated kindly.

Explanation:

The tale of "Aunt Misery" is a short story by author Judith Ortiz Cofer. Aunt Misery is an old woman who lives alone. Her most precious possession is a pear tree. Kids from the neighborhood are constantly climbing up and shaking the branches of the tree to steal its fruit. When Aunt Misery has a chance to make a wish, she wishes that anyone who climbs her pear tree gets stuck and cannot come down without her permission. A sorcerer grants her wish, and Aunt Misery teaches the kids a lesson.

As she gets older, she is visited by Death. Aunt Misery is a very clever woman. She treats Death kindly. Instead of screaming or protesting, saying she does not want to die, that she refuses to go, she merely asks Death for a favor. Death agrees to climb up the pear tree to pluck some pears for Aunt Misery. He gets stuck and only gets permission to climb down many years later, after agreeing to not take Aunt Misery.

It was Aunt Misery's attitude toward Death that prevented her from being taken by him. Even though he looked "suffocated and exhausted", Aunt Misery allowed him into her home. Even upon his revealing who he really is, she is still nice to him. If she had been rude, she wouldn't have tricked him into letting her live.

Read the passage.
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer: D) By comparing Macbeth and Banquo to predatory animals like eagles and the lion, the Sergeant clearly conveys the idea that these two men were aggressive and strong in battle.

Explanation: figurative language is a literary device that consists in the use of words or phrases that convey a meaning that is different to their literal one. There are many ways to use figurative language, like the use of similes, metaphors, personifications, allusions, etc. In the given excerpt from "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare we can see an example of the use of figurative language (the simile "As sparrows eagles, or the hare the lion") to convey the idea that Macbeth and Banquo were aggressive and strong in battle.

Which sentence has a misplaced adjective phrase?
DENIUS [597]

The answer is C, "A clown at the fair with pink hair gave me a balloon." The phrase "with pink hair" should be switched to make the sentence "A clown with pink hair at the fair gave me a balloon," so it can properly modify "a clown".

What does the poet imply by saying that the honeysuckle is hidden from humans' "vulgar" eye?
kotegsom [21]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Humans destroy beauty

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Humans are selfish in nature and they are always self-centered. Everything that is essential for them is destroyed by them for their own benefits. The same idea is described by the poet here. He says that honeysuckle is a beautiful flower but since it is sweet in nature and it is edible so humans would not look at its beauty rather they would try to eat it too and destroy this beauty of nature.
