Answer:

D. The paragraph contains an analogy.

Explanation:

An analogy is a comparison between one thing, people or situation to another that have similar features, and that is often made to explain or clarify a principle or idea. The paragraph, then, contains this type of comparison as it compares a particular situation of a family: someone who will not get what they wanted for dinner because the rest of the family wanted a different meal, to another situation involving a community, in which some citizens have to give up a right for the good of the people.

Likewise, this analogy can convey several messages like the idea that the interests of a majority often prevail over the interest of a minority, and that a person's freedom is often limited by other person's freedom.

ioda

Most religious terms in English are from Anglo-Saxon origin.

True or False:

<u><em>False</em></u>

Most <u>religious terms</u> in English come from <u>Latin origin</u>. These terms were introduced during the <u>Roman Conquest</u> (43-84 AD) through the Romans' main language: Latin. Most of the Celtic and Anglo-Saxon religions that were practiced were slowly suppressed by <u>Christianity</u>. This process was officially achieved in the <u>year 597 </u>in which Augustine of Canterbury was sent by Gregory the Great with the intention of fully evangelizing England's population.

I think the cane represents C. HIS SELF-CONSCIOUS DISPLAYS OF AUTHORITY.

Notice that when people using canes are in public, people around them make it a point to make sure that they get out of the way to ensure that the person using a cane will not be hindered. People are more quick to react or help if they find that the person in need is using a cane or is in a wheelchair. 

Majority of people using canes are those who are elderly, thus gaining immediate respect and subservience from others.

In Angela’s Ashes, which sentence in the excerpt does the author most likely use to express humor? Question options: a) “‘Do you
mina [271]

Answer:

I believe the best option would be letter C) Diphtheria is never allowed to talk to typhoid and visa versa.

Explanation:

"Angela's Ashes" is a memoir written by Irish author Frank McCourt. The book is known to be filled with humor and anecdotes of McCourt's childhood.

At a certain point, Frank is hospitalized. But, due to his love of literature, he is constantly trying to communicate with Patricia. She is at the hospital too, and she has books with poems that delight Frank. When he is about to find out what happened to the Highwayman and his lover, the nurse comes in and yells, "I told ye there was to be no talking between rooms. Diphtheria is never allowed to talk to typhoid and visa versa." This line is quite humorous for the way it addresses people and diseases. It's as if people stopped being people and became the disease they had. Diseases don't talk; sick people do. But not to the nurse's eyes.

What's the one thing in her life that Delia feels is still worth protecting and fighting for?
joja [24]
I think Delia has put up with her husband for so long because she doesn't know any other way to live. Ever since she married him, he has been beating her and after awhile, she began to familiarize it with her husband. Also, being a God-fearing woman, she does not want to divorce her husband because that is a sin in her book so she continues to put up with her husband. However she reaches her limit when he begins to threaten her home, which is what she worked her entire life for. Instead of giving in to his demands which is what she normally does, she stands up to him because her home is the one thing that matters to her in her life and she will not abide by him any longer. Delia puts up with him because she does in a way love him, regardless of how he is. I believe it's called battered woman's syndrome, Delia has been abused by him ever since she got married to him. Usually she just ignored his anger but when she decides not to save him I think she's just thinking good riddance.

I hope this helps you out!
