The correct answer is “The heat represents a powerful force that changes the speaker’s world, and the speaker cannot escape from it”. In the poem “<em>Heat</em>” by Hilda Doolittle, the speaker wants <u>the wind to cut the heat</u>. The figurative meaning of these two symbols, <u>the wind</u> and <u>the heat</u>, could be understood as positive emotions/peace (the wind) and bad moments/sorrows (the heat). The heat described in the poem represents <u>a powerful force full of sorrows</u> and the speaker wants it to disappear, since not only the speaker cannot escape from it but also the nature (fruits cannot grow). In fact, in the first stanza the speaker expresses this feeling asking the wind to “kill” the heat (“<em>rend it to tatters</em>”).

Read this sentence from paragraph 1.
scoundrel [369]

Answer: Constant activity of skilled workers in bakeries.

Explanation: I’d say it’s A because they use the descriptive word “bustle” which is typically used in a scenario where things are being constantly done. The last two are definitely not correct, so you can rule those out, and it’s not really describing the process that they are made.

Which of the following is a reason to join an interest group?
Tom [10]

The correct answer is C. To persuade the state legislature to support public funding of a sports stadium

Explanation:

An interest group, which is also called an advocacy group or campaign group, is a group whose main purpose is to persuade people or government and have a specific influence on society or policies. These groups are called interest groups because they promote and pursue the interests of some group. Additionally, interest groups can have interests of all types including political, healthy, commercial or religious interests and can use different instruments to achieve their goals such as publicity or campaigns. Considering this, one reason to join these kinds of groups is "to persuade the state legislature to support public funding of a sports stadium", as this means there will be an influence or change on policy (government) and a certain group interests are being pursued (probably athletes or sport fans), which is the purpose of interest groups.

Read the paragraph from Nick’s personal narrative.
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

A). A precise description of what the writer is witnessing when he says that he "could scarcely believe what [his] eyes were seeing".

Explanation:

Personal narratives are demonstrated as the narratives written in first person that are primarily intending to relate a personal event or experience of one's life to entertain, inform, convey a message, or merely reiterate an experience.

As per the question, the element that Nick must include next is displayed through option A as it maintains the continuity of the previous description in order to keep the experience or event that is being described in coherence and systematic order. The description of the 'what the writer witnesses when he says 'he could scarcely...seeing' carries the narrative forward in coherence. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
