Which story premise most clearly contains a supernatural element?
Greeley [361]

Answer:

C. Every time a certain church bell rings, something terrible happens to Guy

Explanation:

In english, we say that an element is supernatural when it cannot be explicable by scientific laws and therefore cannot be proven as real. Examples of supernatural things are: miracles, ghosts, angels, demons, ufos, superstitions.

Looking at the options we have, option C mentions that every time a certain church bell rings, something terrible happens to Guy. We can see that this is an example of superstition since something terrible is related to the fact that the bell rings or not. Thus, this is an example of a supernatural element.

Options A and D don't have supernatural elements (a haunted house is made by people so it's not supernatural). Option B has the luck element but it's just a thought the Dr has and not really a supernatural element.

Which lines from the excerpt directly develop the idea that things are a burden?
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

The lines that directly develop the idea that things are burden are:

When I was very tired, I chanced to go away to a little house by the sea

There was nothing in the house to demand care, to claim attention, to cumber my consciousness with its insistent, unchanging companionship

Explanation:

This question concerns the essay "The Tyranny of Things", by Elizabeth Morris, published in 1917. As the title suggests, the author discusses how chained we are to things. We wish to posses more and more, only to become enslaved in the end. Things need to be taken care of. Instead of serving us, they end up having us as their servant.

That is what the lines below mean. Morris's word choice is clear: tired, demand care, claim attention, cumber one's consciousness, insistent and unchanging companionship. Things are a burden. They drain us, suffocate us:

When I was very tired, I chanced to go away to a little house by the sea

There was nothing in the house to demand care, to claim attention, to cumber my consciousness with its insistent, unchanging companionship

90% of runners in a marathon successfully completed it. 30% of these runners were men. How many total runners began the marathon
Semmy [17]

The total runners who began the marathon is 1000

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Runners who completed the marathon = 90%

Men = 30%

Number of men completed the marathon = 270

Total runners who began the marathon = ?

Let the total runners be x

According to question:

Runners who completed the marathon = \frac{90}{100} X x

                                                                 = 0.9x

and,

\frac{30}{100} X 0.9 x = 270

Solving further:

0.9x = \frac{270 X 100}{30} \\\\x = \frac{270 X 100}{30 X 0.9} \\\\x = 1000

Therefore, total runners who began the marathon is 1000
