Firlakuza [10]2 years ago

Answer: A) While breaking one pencil during the SATs is bad luck, breaking six pencils is downright abysmal.

Explanation: the definition of abysmal is something that is extremely bad, terrible or severe. In the first option the word "abysmal" is used correctly because it is referring to how terrible it would be to break six pencils during the SATs. In options B, C and D, the correct word to use instead of "abysmal" is "abyss" which means a very deep gulf or hole, it can be used literally or figuratively.

MAVERICK [17]

Read the excerpt from "The Story of a Warrior Queen."

When Boadicea saw that all hope was gone, she called her daughters to her. "My children," she said sadly, as she took them by the hand and drew them towards her, "my children, it has not pleased the gods of battle to deliver us from the power of the Romans. But there is yet one way of escape." Tears were in her blue eyes as she kissed her daughters. She was no longer a queen of fury but a loving mother.

Which archetype does Boadicea, the queen of the Britons, best represent?

a. the sage

B) the rebel

C) the tragic heroine

d. the villain

Answer:

C. The tragic heroine

Explanation:

An archetype simply means a similar example of something, or what someone embodies.

From this excerpt of "The Story of a Warrior Queen", Queen Boadicea was about to lose a battle and saw that all hope was lost, so in a desperate moment, she brought her daughters to her and told them that there was no way to win this battle because the gods were against them, but she had one last trick up her sleeve.

This is the perfect archetype of the tragic heroine.

Answer:

B. Oftentimes, our family travels to monuments and museums.

Explanation:

Oxymoron is a figure of speech in which contradictory words are placed in the same sentence. These contradictory or opposite ideas bring a literary effect and helps the writer present the ideas more exclusively.

The sentence in option (b) presents an example of an oxymoron. The words that present the opposite or contradicting ideas are 'often' and 'times'. The family here travels to monuments and museums 'oftentimes' that brings the meaning of 'often' and 'times'.
