Answer:

C - Show her father she can move as fast as a blue racer.

Explanation:

The lines "My father pulls my hand and leads me past the white scar of a snake carved into rotting growth. "If you can't go as fast as a Blue Racer," he says, "the next best thing is playing dead." before she runs off to prove that she can be as fast, her father providing the motive to do so. She shows no fear of it by running straight away, does not show any motive of wanting to keep it as a pet, and does not show any signs of being tired. This is the answer that makes the most sense, in my eyes.

In this excerpt from "A Modest Proposal" by Johnathan Swift, what does the author list? I can think of no one objection, that wi

Rainbow [258]

In this excerpt, swift is listing tons of other suggestions that people have made. the long list begins with "Therefore let no man talk to me of other expedients..." and he goes on to list these so-called "expedients"--which are measures or means to get attain something (and these means are often immoral).

just for context, "a modest proposal" is a satirical work. swift intends to paint these perfectly rational suggestions (from taxation to isolationism to increase their own failing economy) as something incredibly immoral, just before he suggests that his country begin eating children to sustain themselves.

this excerpt begins with "I can think of no one objection, that will possibly be raised against this proposal..." which shows that swift believes HIS proposal to be the best of them all. (remember that this is a satire, so this emphasis is meant to be ironic. he knows his proposal is terrible, he's just proving a point.) from there, he begins listing all the other things that people have suggested and things that the government has tried within the country, and he basically pokes fun at them.

Which of the following statements from Nelson Mandela’s Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech is an example of an oxymoron?

kirill [66]

Answer: “The peaceful struggle”

Explanation: The phrase “peaceful struggle” is an oxymoron because the meanings of the words contradict each other. Something that is peaceful is something that is rid of any complication or worry, and to struggle is to face a conflict (or forcefully attempt to break away from one). Because of this, the figure of speech used in this sentence is an oxymoron.

Four quotes from "salvation" by Langston

bixtya [17]

Answer: 1 . “ I was saved from sin, when I was going on thirteen. But not really saved”

2. “I wanted to see him, but nothing happened to me. Nothing! I wanted something to happen to me, but nothing happened” .

3. “God had not struck Westly dead for taking his name in vain or for lying in the temple. So I decided that maybe to save further trouble, I’d better lie too, and say that Jesus had come, and get up and be saved” .

4. “but I was really crying because I couldn’t bear to tell her that I had lied, that I had deceived everybody in the church, that I hadn’t seen Jesus, and that now I didn’t believe there was a Jesus any more, since he didn’t come to help me” .

Explanation: 1 . these are the first two sentences of hughes’s essay. They are contradictory statements. hughes was only saved because he lied to himself. everyone else thought that he really was saved.

2. hughes was waiting for Jesus to come save him, and he was waiting for the light that his aunt told him he would see. he was beginning to lose hope because nothing had happened to him .

3 . when westley lied, hughes wanted to lie so everything would be over and everyone would be happy. hughes did decide to lie about being saved .

4 . hughes’s aunt thought he was crying because he saw Jesus. he was crying because he didn’t feel anything that day from Jesus. He didn’t believe Jesus was there for him to save him. langston hughes lied about being saved when he was going on thirteen. after some time, he was still waiting for Jesus to come to him. when he became the last one sitting on the bench, he decided to lie to save trouble. he ended up crying the night he was supposed to be saved. as a result, he didn’t believe there was even a Jesus that could help him.

from the beginning, langston was different than the other boys. the other boys were saved in a short amount of time. some of the boys, like Westley, may have lied to just put an end to everything. langston didn’t want to lie. he really wanted to see the light and be saved. In the end, he decided to lie instead of making everyone in the church wait for him. he lied to make everyone else happy.
