The correct answer is B: Rich Londoners are quick to bet huge sums of money to settle trivial arguments. This is because they were betting whether or not he would starve in a month. This is of course, not an actual concern and just an exaggeration, since rich people don't starve.

“Whereäs” as an alternative spelling of “whereas”
ra1l [238]
Yes, it seems to be an alternative, in some situations acceptable, but eccentric and not neutral spelling of this word. It accents the fact that "ea" here are two separate vowels rather than a diphthong: that is the function of the  trema (the two dots).

In practice it's not used much, because it's not really necessary: it does not distinguish it from any other word, and trema is not easy to find on English keyboards: so there is no need.

How does Achebe create a "new English" with his use of language in "Civil Peace"?
ad-work [718]

Answer:

He fills his English with Igbo language patterns and rhythm.

Explanation:

Achebe makes a strong use of Igbo words and expressions to create a new English and show how language and communication is a living organism, completely adaptable and innovative.

Igbo is one of the languages spoken in nigeria, which in itself is full of different adaptations, dialects and accents. Using this language together with the English language, the author questions the supremacy of the English language and raises the importance of other languages.

Which correctly describes a cause-and-effect relationship in this excerpt?
pochemuha

Black people in a little community on the other side of the Day Street Bridge had to walk across the bridge, about half a mile, to get to the bus. Mr. Nixon went down to the bus company to protest. He was always going down to the bus company to protest; sometimes he went by himself, sometimes he took someone with him. He himself did not ride the buses—he had his own car; but he was acting on behalf of the community. The bus company told him that as long as the people were willing to walk the half mile and then pay to ride the rest of the way downtown, they had no need to extend the bus line. Which correctly describes a cause-and-effect relationship in this excerpt?

Answer:

The answer is:

Cause: People had to walk across a bridge to catch the bus.

Effect: Mr. Nixon protested to the bus company.

Explanation:

A "cause-and-effect" relationship<u> </u><u>describes the connection between events/situations. It shows how one action/event leads to another action/event. </u>

A "cause" <u>refers to the action/event that led to another action/event.</u> This is the reason why the other action/event occurred.

An "effect"<u> refers to the action/event that happened as a result of the "cause."</u> This is the outcome of the taken action or the event that happened.

So, in the situation above. <em>Mr. Nixon protested to the bus company because the people had to walk across a bridge to catch the bus.</em> He wanted to let the bus company know on behalf of the community. He did this in order to cause a change.

Thus, this explains the answer.

Answer:

OKAYY SO I'VE DECIDED TO PICK JACK FOR YOU... I put them on bullet points so you write it out yourself later on

  • Golding achieves characterization by using direct and indirect techniques to establish the personalities of Ralph, Jack, Piggy, Simon, Roger, Sam, and Eric (Samneric). As a result, we come to understand them as symbolic icons of good, evil, reason, loyalty, and justice. <u>( I bolded the important details on this paragraph)</u>
  • Jack, Ralph's nemesis, is tall and thin. He is fair-skinned and freckled with piercing light blue eyes that easily convey anger.
  • Golding uses multiple methods to characterize Jack in Lord of the Flies, including direct and indirect characterization, dialogue, and the response of others. Direct characterization shows Jack's eyes were "ready to turn, to anger." Indirect characterization shows that Jack hunts and enjoys the k!ll. Characterizing Jack through dialogue includes his telling Piggy, “Shût up, Fàtty.” Golding also shows how Ralph responds to Jacks's commanding presence.

More About Jack:

  • Jack is the classic example of a dictator. He's determined to rule the island single-handed, and woe betides anyone brave or foolish enough to get in his way. Like all dictators, he uses a mixture of fear and violence to cement his power.
  • The strong-willed, egomaniacal Jack is the novel’s primary representative of the instinct of savagery, violence, and the desire for power—in short, the antithesis of Ralph. From the beginning of the novel, Jack desires power above all other things. He is furious when he loses the election to Ralph and continually pushes the boundaries of his subordinate role in the group. Early on, Jack retains the sense of moral propriety and behavior that society instilled in him—in fact, in school, he was the leader of the choirboys. The first time he encounters a pig, he is unable to k!ll it. But Jack soon becomes obsessed with hunting and devotes himself to the task, painting his face like a barbarian and giving himself over to bloodlust. The more savage Jack becomes, the more he is able to control the rest of the group. Indeed, apart from Ralph, Simon, and Piggy, the group largely follows Jack in casting off moral restraint and embracing violence and savagery. Jack’s love of authority and violence are intimately connected, as both enable him to feel powerful and exalted. By the end of the novel, Jack has learned to use the boys’ fear of the beast to control their behavior—a reminder of how religion and superstition can be manipulated as instruments of power.
