timurjin [86]

Answer:

Number 4 would be the best answer.

Explanation:

Passing through each option, from a deductible, logical perspective:

  • Number 3 cannot be concluded from the excerpt given.
  • Number 1  could maybe be a possible answer, but can be dropped aside due to the fact that the speaker implies a certain level of pride to his statement, when he says that he has made the railroad 'race against time'. Hence, he would probably still want to keep building them!
  • Number 2 is the one that is maybe best confused. As the conclusion 'Now it's done!' could very much either mean that all railroads have been completed, or that he hasn't found work anymore. This can be clarified by considering that he's talking about <em>a </em><em>railroad, </em>and that his whole speech has a certain emotional, almost poethical appeal to it. So the main point here isn't the general need for railroads, but rather the speaker's feelings and aflictions.

WILL PAY!!
Alona [7]

Answer:

Although King Arthur is one of the most well-known figures in the world, his true identity remains a mystery. Attempts to identify the historical Arthur have been unsuccessful, since he is largely a product of fiction. Most historians, though, agree that the real Arthur was probably a battle leader of the Britons against the Anglo-Saxons in the sixthth century. In literature, King Arthur's character is  unique and ever changing, taking on a different face in every work. There is never a clearly definitive picture that identifies Arthur's character. It is therefore necessary to look at a few different sources to get better insight into the character of Arthur, the once and future king.…show more content…

This work contains all of the most famous Arthurian elements such as the Sword in the Stone, the magical Merlin, and the love affair between Lancelot and Guinevere. But it was Wace, who using Geoffrey's work was first to mention Arthur's Round Table and amplify the belief in Arthur's return from Avilon, or the Isle of Avalon. King Arthur's character has many faces.  He is shown to be kind, wise and generous on one hand, yet at the same time, he can be seen as a weak king who is stubborn, childish, and unable to make wise decisions for himself or for the good of the court. He is described by Nennius as a powerful warrior, who is able to personally slay 960 men in one charge. Wace shows him possessing leadership qualities as he establishes the Round Table to ensure that justice and peace prevail. In Celtic legends, Arthur is a supernatural hero who battles giants, monsters, and witches. He kills the Demon Cat of Losanne and hunts the boar Twrch Truyth driving him into the sea. (Camelot and Arthurian Legend: Arthur online 4/27/98) Some literary work depicts Arthur as an ideal Christian hero and as among God's elect. Young Arthur is able to withdraw the sword from the stone because he has been chosen by God to be the next king. Officers in the Roman army carried shields bearing portraits of their emperors. Geoffrey describes Arthur having a shield with the likeness.

In 3–5 complete sentences, explain how the author develops the theme of your Module One short story. You can discuss how the aut
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:  What lesson can be learned from the story? What

does this story mean? These questions are all asking about a story’s theme. The term

theme can be defined as the underlying meaning of a story. It is the message the writer is

trying to convey through the story. Often the theme of a story is a broad message about

life. The theme of a story is important because a story’s theme is part of the reason why

the author wrote the story. The author has a message he wants to share with readers, and

he uses his story as a way to get that message across.

Readers sometime have difficulty expressing their ideas of what the theme of a story could

be. One reason for this is because understanding a story’s theme requires interpretation

on the part of a reader. Another reason may be the fact that a story might have more than

one message. When trying to determine the theme of a story, it helps to remember that

there are many recurring themes that can be found in literature—in other words, the same

theme can appear in many different stories.

When trying to identify the theme in a story, a reader can begin by examining the story’s

conflict. A reader can consider the following questions as she tries to determine the

author’s message:

• What is the problem?

• How does the character confront the problem?

• How does it turn out in the end?

• Why does it turn out this way?

• What lesson is to be learned from the way the character dealt with the problem?

Read this passage, which Paine wrote to
uranmaximum [27]

Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but “to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER,” and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth.

<em>and the next one's answer is:</em>

- The words tyranny and slavery suggest that Britain abuses its power and mistreats the colonists.

- The negative connotations of tyranny and slavery illustrate disgust with Britain's behavior toward the colonists.

What is the most effective strategy that you have seen in place or that you have used as a best buddy?
Kipish [7]

Answer:

Like the mission statement published in your annual report or guiding principles framed in your lobby, a strategic plan itself accomplishes nothing.  What matters is whether the people of your organization understand and internalize the strategic direction you have articulated and can make tactical choices on their own.  Strategic plans must be articulated in a manner such that operational and tactical decision-making can follow suit.
