Answer: A) It is odd that war should ever be viewed as an adventurous expedition.

This excerpt describes the experiences of a group of soldiers in the Vietnam War. The paradox in the passage, however, is the fact that the soldier describes this experience as an adventurous expedition. Besides the fact that the statement is odd, it shows the misconceptions that people have about war, and the difficulty in understanding the reality of it.

Select the correctly punctuated sentence. Its going to be a long wait the nurse confided. It's going to be a long wait, the nurs
Molodets [167]
The last one is the correct answer.
It is "It's going to be a long wait," the nurse confided.
When someone is speaking, there needs to be quotation marks. Also, <em>It's</em> needs an apostrophe because that makes it stand for "It is"
So the last answer is the right one.

How does the author expand his argument in paragraphs 7-8? I am very real by Kurt Vonnegut
katen-ka-za [31]

This is a thought-provoking letter written by Kurt Vonnegut opposing the idea of burning books of young children, in view of transforming the system of education in America.  

Explanation:

In this letter, Vonnegut starts telling audience/readers the ideas that can have a negative effect, not only on the target person/individual, but also on a wider range because of its effect being new and historic.

Though in view of a change, Vonnegut argues that this act of burning books is not what we all should accept. In Paragraphs 7 and 8, when Vonnegut explains about how people feel it is their right to decide what their children must read, the author explains to them that it is true but doing that in an un-American way -  harsh, impractical, ignorant manner can cause a negative impact for them.

In the next point of argument, author talks about how people/nations who didn't read books, didn't let ideas emerge among people fought wars. They created destruction all over world. The author clearly states that people/nations who read books have been a part of development, improvement and liberation.

Which statement best describes how Hamlet’s ideas progress in his soliloquy?
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

B. Hamlet expresses despair over life, remembers his mother and father’s relationship, and then expresses his frustration with the current state of his family.

Explanation:

Hamlet is hopeless about the world and everything that is happening. He is very sad and disappointed with the direction that his family took. Hamlet's lament happened because he is sad that his father, a good and caring man, died and that before completing two months of his death, his mother decided to marry again, with Hamlet's uncle. He finds it disgusting and disrespectful to his father who was such a good husband.
