Question 5 of 5

Andrews [41]

Answer: B

Explanation: Douglass is not sad to leave the plantation, as he has no family ties or sense of home, like children usually have. He also feels he has nothing to lose, because even if his new home in Baltimore is full of hardship, it can be no worse than the hardships he has already seen and endured on the plantation.

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

The Giver is a 1993 American young adult dystopian novel written by Lois Lowry. It is set in a society which at first appears to be utopian but is revealed to be dystopian as the story progresses. The novel follows a 12-year-old boy named Jonas. The society has taken away pain and strife by converting to "Sameness", a plan that has also eradicated emotional depth from their lives. Jonas is selected to inherit the position of Receiver of Memory, the person who stores all the past memories of the time before Sameness, as there may be times where one must draw upon the wisdom gained from history to aid the community's decision making. Jonas struggles with concepts of all the new emotions and things introduced to him: whether they are inherently good, evil, or in between, and whether it is even possible to have one without the other. The Community lacks any color, memory, climate, or terrain, all in an effort to preserve structure, order, and a true sense of equality beyond personal individuality.[1]

The Giver won the 1994 Newbery Medal and has sold more than 12 million copies worldwide as of 2018.[2] In Australia, Canada, and the United States, it is on many middle school reading lists,[3][4] but it is also frequently challenged and it ranked number 11 on the American Library Association list of the most challenged books of the 1990s.[5] A 2012 survey based in the U.S. designated it the fourth-best children's novel of all time.[6]

In 2014, a film adaptation was released, starring Jeff Bridges, Meryl Streep and Brenton Thwaites.[7] The novel forms a loose quartet[8] with three other books set in the same future era, known as The Giver Quartet: Gathering Blue (2000), Messenger (2004), and Son (2012).

1 .Are ypu going to have a rest tonight? you look tired.you(read)...... so much

kykrilka [37]

We are supposed to fill in the blanks using the verbs in parentheses in either the Simple Pat tense or the Present Perfect tense:

1. Are you going to have a rest tonight? You look tired. You have read so much.

2, Have you played that game yest? No, I haven't. I'm going to do it tonight.

3, Jane hasn't talked to me this week.

4. Would you like some more coffee? No, thanks. I have already had three cups.

5. The room looks so clean! Thanks, I have just vacuumed in here.

6. How many times have you seen him today?

7. His joke didn't come off yesterday. Nobody laughed.

8. I bought this car last week. It cost an arm and a leg.

9. I haven't danced since my childhood.

10. We had a lot of fun last summer. We went to Croatia by car and took a lot of photos.

The Simple Past tense is used to talk about actions that took place at a specific time in the past.

The action is over and does not present an evident connection with the present moment.

Common time expressions used with the Simple Past tense are: <u>yesterday, last week, last month, last years, a couple of days ago, three years ago</u>, etc.

Example: I saw you at the party last night.

The Present Perfect tense is used to talk about actions that happened or started to happen in the past and still have a connection with the present moment.

The Present Perfect implies an "until now". Something has or has not been done, until now.

It is commonly used with: <u>yet, already, just, and never.</u>

Time expressions that indicate the present, such as "today" or "this week" are also commonly used with the Present Perfect.

Example: I haven't seen Josh today. What do you think he is up to?
