Read the following excerpt from "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker: "The truth is," I said, "I promised to give them quilts to Maggi

e, for when she marries John Thomas." She gasped like a bee had stung her. "Maggie can't appreciate these quilts!" she said. "She'd probably be backward enough to put them to everyday use." "I reckon she would," I said. "God knows I been saving 'em for long enough with nobody using 'em. I hope she will!" I didn't want to bring up how I had offered Dee (Wangero) a quilt when she went away to college. Then she had told they were old-fashioned, out of style. Based on this excerpt, which description most likely describes the significance of the story's title?

Answer:

A.  People connect with their culture by continually revisiting past traditions.

Explanation:

Alice Walker's <em>Everyday Use</em> revolves around the lives of the three women, mother-daughters, and their perception about what constitutes heritage, tradition, culture, and one's identity. Mama and Maggie may life in a dilapidated house but their sense of identity to their roots remains unbroken whereas the 'better educated' daughter Dee "Wangero" is more of a 'westernized' approach to her identity.

In the given passage, Dee hates the fact that her desired quilts were given to her sister Maggie who will only<em> "put them to everyday use" </em>whereas her own plan was to put them up like some souvenir and put in on display and not use it. The narrator Mama recollects the time when she had offered those same quilts to her when she first went to college but she had called them <em>"old-fashioned, out of style"</em> and refused to take them. And now that she's had a place of her own, she wanted to 'show-off' her heritage and tradition and use it as a way to 'decorate' her house. So, <u><em>judging by the way the author decided to portray the characters to their relationship with the quilt, the book's title </em></u><u><em>Everyday Use</em></u><u><em> seemed likely to signify how people connect and feel connected with their culture through the frequent revisiting of past traditions. </em></u>

Thus, the<u> correct answer is option A. </u>

Explain the atomic age in 6 sentences
AleksandrR [38]
The Atomic Age, also known as the Atomic Era, is the period of history following the detonation of the first nuclear weapon, The Gadget at the Trinity test in New Mexico, on July 16, 1945, during World War II. Although nuclear chain reactions had been hypothesized in 1933 and the first artificial self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction (Chicago Pile-1) had taken place in December 1942,[1] the Trinity test and the ensuing bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that ended World War II represented the first large-scale use of nuclear technology and ushered in profound changes in sociopolitical thinking and the course of technology development. While atomic power was promoted for a time as the epitome of progress and modernity,[2] entering into the nuclear power era also entailed frightful implications of nuclear warfare, the Cold War, mutual assured destruction, nuclear proliferation, the risk of nuclear disaster (potentially as extreme as anthropogenic global nuclear winter), as well as beneficial civilian applications in nuclear medicine. It is no easy matter to fully segregate peaceful uses of nuclear technology from military or terrorist uses (such as the fabrication of dirty bombs from radioactive waste), which complicated the development of a global nuclear-power export industry right from the outset. In 1973, concerning a flourishing nuclear power industry, the United States Atomic Energy Commission predicted that, by the turn of the 21st century, one thousand reactors would be producing electricity for homes and businesses across the U.S. However, the "nuclear dream" fell far short of what was promised because nuclear technology produced a range of social problems, from the nuclear arms race to nuclear meltdowns, and the unresolved difficulties of bomb plant cleanup and civilian plant waste disposal and decommissioning.[3] Since 1973, reactor orders declined sharply as electricity demand fell and construction costs rose.

Explain how the way Charlie’s character changes makes the plot go in a circle. Think about where Charlie starts and where he end
HACTEHA [7]

If the character starts and ends in the same place, the plot has gone in a circle.  For example, if Charlie was having problems with his teacher at the beginning of the story, and the story talks about the many weeks he has tried to fix these problems, yet the story ends with him still not resolving these problems, the plot had gone in a circle.  There is not resolution, no ending, no fix.
