Read paragraph 5 from Chapter 1 of I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou and answer the question. The town reacted to

us [Angelou and her brother Bailey] as its inhabitants had reacted to all things new before our coming. It regarded us a while without curiosity but with caution, and after we were seen to be harmless (and children) it closed in around us, as a real mother embraces a stranger’s child. Warmly, but not too familiarly. What words in the above excerpt demonstrate a humorous or lighthearted tone?
English

This excerpt could be considered humorous because of the way in which the events are retell and because of the choice of words. their arrival is portrayed in such a way that the reader might think, it could have a deeper meaning. For example
"<span>It regarded us a while without curiosity but with caution, and after we were seen to be harmless" This might be understood as a fun way of expressing that people were all over them, to check who they were, they pay close attention to these "new people" until they were convinced they are fine. </span>

4) D

The sentence is generally saying that the specific area of land gives you shelter from a storm, which is basically safety. The word 'encloses' itself emanates safety, because basically, 'encloses' means to close over, or to surround. If you don't find that trapping, it would seem more safe than anything else, along with what the sentence itself is trying to say.

As for #5, I can't seem to view the full choices for the question. Could you maybe add another attachment, or list the other two choices there are?

Which guideline does NOT fall within the framework of setting SMART goals?
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

C. Set easy goals. You are more likely to achieve goals that don't take too much work

Explanation:

SMART goals are an acronym for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-Based.

Therefore, the guideline that does NOT fall within the framework of setting SMART goals is by setting easy goals.

This is because, according TO SMART goals, things have to be well thought of and planned, and not by selecting easy goals

All spoken languages have which of following characteristics in common? select all that apply.

I'm going to say just the word "no." I know Spanish and English -

Spanish has upside down question/exclamation marks, and they don't use capitalized letters unless it's the beginning of a sentence, which marks out vocabulary.

Spanish is also nearly backwards from English - this marking out pattern of word order.
