Answer: The right answers are the 4 ("Like medals with their ribbons frayed and wavering") and the 5 ("a five-haired beard of wisdom").

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that in this part of the poem it is very noticeable that the speaker is looking at the fish with amazement - a few lines earlier she has said "I admired his sullen face." "Like medals with their ribbons / frayed and wavering, / a five-haired beard of wisdom" is a reference to the fish-line and other small pieces of fishing equipment that hung from the lower part of the fish's jaw. Rather than simply describing them, she poetically compares them to medals and a scarce beard of wisdom, which suggests that she respects the fish - as she does, letting him go eventually.

Why is a sensationalized slideshow harmful to the presenter?
lisov135 [29]
Sensationalism is the act of heightening emotion while lowering accuracy. 

Although most of the article will be the same information, the presenter will eventually drop the fact that the article is not entirely accurate. It is also harmful to the presentee, as they are misled into thinking somewhat fake news.

Read the excerpt from "Object Lesson 1". Louise Carpenter stood tensely straight at her desk, her pretty face almost as white as
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

The author's word choice help to express the tone of the excerpt since The negative connotations of the words "tensely," "clutching," and "sizzled" give the excerpt a tone of nervousness.

Explanation:

The use of the words "tensely," "clutching," and "sizzled" are indeed giving a more powerful meaning to the general idea of this excerpt, if this moment had been written without using any of this strong words, the level of tension on Louise Carpenter could not have been almost tangible to the reader as they create expectation and an increment of stress.

mario62 [17]

<span>Achieving egalitarian, or being an egalitarian, is hard to achieve since not all people want to be in equal footing with everyone. Egalitarianism, by dictionary definition is the aim for an equality in wealth, status, etc. Lower density of men means that it is lower than the average number of a certain population in a certain country.</span>
