The tone of this excerpt is fear, disappointment, and uncertainty. T<span>aherah Saffazadeh, the poet, is Iranian and the fear and disappointment that accompany having a girl for a baby stems from the society's poor treatment of women and celebration of men. Detailed description of action and emotion help convey these themes, the word choice associated with the announcement that she was a girl. The mother's "look of shame", the "choked voice" telling them it's a girl, the midwife trembling, these details are what create the mood and reinforce how somber everything around the birth became. The tone of uncertainty comes from the feeling that no one in the room quite knows what to do next or how to react properly.</span>

Which statement was not a criticism of television media in the 1960s? Television promoted stereotypes. Television encouraged con
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

the last one.

Explanation:

In my mind, the answer is the last one.

Stereotypical characters was a nightmare. It encouraged the wrong type of behavior. It presented the Fonz as a standard of behavior for both girls and boys which was unrealistic.

Commercialism is a criticism. It means that we are in competition with our neighbors to see who has the largest yacht. That's not a very good competition.

Nobody lived like the Fonz.

Though it might not be a virtue now, it certainly is not a bad thing to portray. The answer should be the last one.

It's exciting is to thrill as difficult is to ?????
BabaBlast [244]
<span>This is an analogy that you need to complete in order to see what the final word should be. So, exciting is an adjective that describes the noun thrill. So, in order to finish the analogy, you need a noun that the adjective difficult refers to. That noun could be ordeal, hardship, trouble, torment, torture, etc. You need a word that means "something difficult," so any of those words could be the correct answer.</span>

Answer: by providing a clue that uncovers the treasure

Explanation:

The rest of the excerpt is showing to us what exactly caused their reaction to the spring. They are looking forward to it because as they said ''The treasure is in the spring, between the ash tree and the silver beech.''

''XAVIER The joyous sounds of spring. The joyous sounds of the spring. The spring! KENNETH (Jumping up) Where rocks and pebbles sing. The water going over the rocks and pebbles. And you can't get to it in the wintertime because the spring is frozen then. XAVIER (From behind the trees) The treasure is in the spring, between the ash tree and the silver beech.''

We can see that they are happy because of the sound of the spring and now they will be able to find the treasure since in the wintertime everything is under the snow.
