Answer: After reading the short story "I Stand Here Ironing," <em>I do believe that Emily's mother is a reliable narrator</em>, because of several different things that she states to the person that the school sent.

Emily's mother can speak of the things that Emily experienced as a child and let the person she is speaking to understand more about Emily and the way that she is. She obviously can't speak for Emily or even tell the person from the school what Emily herself is thinking, but is useful in helping see how Emily herself has been treated by her family.

In the story, the mother states that <em>Emily had to leave the family after the birth of her sister because Emily had contracted red measles and could not see her mother or sister for a couple of weeks. </em>Emily <em>had already suffered from her father leaving, her family suffering from money problems, and being alone before the birth of her sister since the mother had to work to support the family. </em>This begins the part of the story about how the measles left Emily sickly and had lost a lot of weight. Since her mother was not there to comfort her when she was sick, she no longer wanted her mother to comfort her, after this period. Emily had to be sent away again to regain her health but never did fully recover. <em>The mother states in the story that the convalescent home Emily went too was not good, and Emily never regained the weight since the food was bad, she got to come home after 8 months. </em>After returning, Emily no longer wanted to attend school and become reclusive.

The mother is the only person who can relate these things from Emily's life to the person from the school. This can help the school to understand why Emily may be having issues with school work or problems with others.

You would like to find the most recent information on a news topic for an essay you're writing. Which of the following websites
Masja [62]

The correct answer is answer B "Britannica Online".

Britannica online only contains fact-checked information, so it's a good source that you can always trust.

Using a search engine could give you many un-checked facts or information that may be unsuitable for an essay.

Finally, CNN Interactive will offer very quick updates and is specialized on news items. The problem here, is that this is most definitely a biased source as it's part of a huge corporate network.


Hope this helps!

Jackson is making predictions about The Odyssey as he reads this excerpt.
maksim [4K]
The detail that best supports Jackson's prediction that Odysseus and Telemachus will take the suitors by surprise is 3. let no one hear. If no one hears about their plan, then they will be surprised when they see what these two guys have in store for them. They will keep this plan a secret until it is the right time to execute it and reveal to everyone what they have been planning all along. The other options don't really make much sense.
