It seemed to be that these people don't connect very well and do't have the sam state of mind. This is causing issues and some friction in their relationship. "I'd known what he'd say—that it was an ugly hack, that I needed to think it through better". This shows that this character expects the negative response from Jolu.

Serhud [2]

This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

No sooner had the reverberation of my blows sunk into silence, then I was answered by a voice from within the tomb!-by a cry, at first muffled and broken, like the sobbing of a child, and then quickly swelling into one long, loud, and continuous scream, utterly anomalous and inhuman-a howl!- a wailing shriek, half of horror and half of triumph, such as might have arisen only out of hell, conjointly from the throats of the dam.ned in their agony and of the demons that exult in the dam.nation.

Edgar Allan Poe, “The Black Cat”

The dashes in this long sentence set off a series of appositives. (An appositive is a noun or noun phrase placed beside another noun phrase and used to identify or explain it.) What noun explained by the appositives?

Answer:

The noun phrase that is explained by the appositives is:

"a voice from within the tomb".

Explanation:

An appositive offers more information about a noun or noun phrase in the sentence. It can be placed before or after the noun it refers to and, unless restrictive, it can be set off by commas or dashes.

In the excerpt from the short story "The Black Cat", by author Edgar Allan Poe, we have a couple of appositives:

-by a cry, at first muffled and broken, like the sobbing of a child, and then quickly swelling into one long, loud, and continuous scream, utterly anomalous and inhuman-a howl!- a wailing shriek, half of horror and half of triumph, such as might have arisen only out of hell, conjointly from the throats of the dam.ned in their agony and of the demons that exult in the dam.nation.

Those appositives refer to the noun phrase that comes right before them, that is, "a voice from within the tomb." What Poe does here is offer more information concerning that voice, what it sounded like. He does it so thoroughly that we can now vividly hear that inhuman voice in our minds, imagine its force and strangeness.

NOTE: I had to type dam.ned and dam.nation like this because Brainly prevents me from posting the answer otherwise.

What is your role as a son/daughter at home and as a Student at school.

Gelneren [198K]

The family is the most important basic unit of society where each member has a vital role to play in successfully raising productive, law-abiding citizens. In a family of four siblings, I am the eldest. As the oldest child at home, I have multiple duties and responsibilities that mirror and support those of the parents, especially the one who stays at home to take care of the children and conduct various household chores. Since women mostly do these kinds of jobs, I can say that my role is to become the second mother particularly when both parents are away to earn a living. In generally, my role is to help my parents take care of my siblings, conduct household duties, and become a good model to the younger ones.
