I went north—I did not try to hide myself. When a god or a demon saw me, then I would die, but meanwhile I was no longer afraid.

My hunger for knowledge burned in me—there was so much that I could not understand. After a while, I knew that my belly was hungry. I could have hunted for my meat, but I did not hunt. It is known that the gods did not hunt as we do—they got their food from enchanted boxes and jars. Sometimes these are still found in the Dead Places—once, when I was a child and foolish, I opened such a jar and tasted it and found the food sweet. But my father found out and punished me for it strictly, for, often, that food is death. Now, though, I had long gone past what was forbidden, and I entered the likeliest towers, looking for the food of the gods.
–“By the Waters of Babylon,”
Stephen Vincent Benét

Answer: A) character vs. society because he is breaking laws and E) character vs. nature because his hunger is driving him to take risks.

Explanation: in literature, a conflict is a struggle between opposite forces, usually between a character (the main character or a very important one) and himself (internal conflict), society or another character (external conflict). In the given excerpt from "By the Waters of Babylon" we can see an example of two types of external conflicts: character vs. society because he is breaking laws by entering the towers looking for the food of the gods (which was forbidden), and character vs. nature because is because his hunger that he is taking such risks.

dentify the complete subject in the following sentence.   Many of the candidates spoke at the forum last night. A. Many B. the f
SCORPION-xisa [38]

The correct answer is C. Many of the candidates.

The subject in a sentence is the noun or pronoun that is doing or being something. The verb expresses the action that the subject is doing or being. I can be a simple subject, a complete subject and a compund subject.

A simple subject is only a noun or pronoun. A complete subject includes all the modifiers. A compound subject includes more than one subject--for example, when there are two people performing an action.

In this sentence, the candidates are the ones who are speaking, so the <u>simple subject</u> is "<em>candidates"</em> and the <u>complete subject</u> is "<em>Many of the candidates"</em>.

At first, they feel confused (due to the large casino, they weren't expecting), then they become more layed back and they feel like they want to stay there.

In the speech, Obama talked about how politics factor into our discussions of race. What did he say? How do we fix the problem
Tju [1.3M]

Former President Barack Obama on Friday launched a direct and blistering attack on President Donald Trump and Republicans and called on Americans to get to the ballot box in November to "restore some semblance of sanity to our politics."

At one point referencing the "crazy stuff coming out of this White House," Obama told students and others gathered at the University of Illinois at Urban-Campaign that even if they don't agree with Democrats on certain issues, they should still want to see a "restoration of honesty and decency and lawfulness in government."

Example of beauty in objective view​
Margarita [4]

Answer: The world of Forms is “ideal” rather than material; Forms, and beauty, are non-physical ideas for Plato. Yet beauty is objective in that it is not a feature of the observer's experience.
