Read the excerpt from "Wherefore Art Thou Romeo?” I shrugged. Shondra waited. Finally, I pained my head toward the classroom nex

t door. We both knew that my nemesis, Allison Ramon, was in there. Since the third grade, Allison and I had battled for the lead in every school play. Usually we both ended up on stage in one role or another. But tomorrow’s reading was a class assignment, and Allison wasn’t in the class. She was free to wreak havoc from the audience.
What is the connotation of the word "battled”?
competed intensely
fought violently

I would choose the first answer, "Competed intensely." 

The other choices don't make as much sense in this context. Since this excerpt seem to be based on a school setting, it is unlikely that the two characters would be fighting violently or angrily arguing. And "secretly tricked" doesn't fit this context at all. So it would be safe to say that the answer to this is the first choice.

In this conversation which discussion technique does Jennifer most clearly show
lora16 [44]

The discussion technique that Jennifer uses most clearly in this conversation is, challenging assumptions.

When we want to give a discussion a different approach, we use this technique through What if... questions, it is necessary to present another alternative to respond to things that we already established.

The other techniques are very different from this one, promoting participation would be mostly used by a moderator not a regular participant in the conversation, MAking an objective is to land the discussion into something real, and Asking for rhetorical questions does expect any kind of answer which we do have in here, therefore the other three options are incorrect.

Consider the final image of the poem in lines 16-18. How does this image contribute to the theme of the poem? HAMLET 1.3.78
andrey2020 [161]

In this poem by Gary Soto, the author reflects on the feelings that he has for the woman he loves.

The author tells us that he is poor and unimpressive, while the woman is much better than him. However, throughout the poem, he highlights the fact that he wants to be loved and seen by the woman, even if he is not very impressive. The last image he offers in the text is that of a daffodil and wheat. He compares himself to wheat, which is resistant, even if not impressive. On the other hand, while the daffodil is more beautiful, it is weak and often goes unnoticed, ending up destroyed in the mud when the rain comes. The author highlights the fact that his qualities might be less obvious, but they exist, and this should motivate the woman in question to give him a chance.
