Match the underlined words in the excerpts from Stephen Crane's "The Open Boat" to their correct contextual meanings. Tiles disr

espectful, irreverent rapid and powerful absurd, unreasonable coarse and uncivilized Pairs But the waves continued their old impetuous swooping at the dinghy, and the little craft, no longer under way, struggled woundily over them. Many a man ought to have a bathtub larger than the boat which here rode upon the sea. These waves were most wrongfully and barbarously abrupt and tall, and each froth-top was a problem in small-boat navigation. "Holy smoke!" said one, allowing his voice to express his impious mood, "if we keep on monkeying out here! If we've got to flounder out here all night!" It is preposterous. If this old ninny-woman, Fate, cannot do better than this, she should be deprived of the management of men's fortunes. She is an old hen who knows not her intention.

love history [14]

Answer:

C.  Expressing criticism or contempt.

Explanation:

The word "opprobrious" means to criticize or say a bad word about a particular thing. It contains a negative meaning for the given word and is used as a means of expressing scorn or derogatory word about the thing.

In the given passage from <em>The Open Boat</em> by Stephen Crane, the four survivors of the shipwreck were on a lifeboat, hoping and looking for the sight of any help, land or people to be saved. And in their eagerness to be found, they were oblivious to the fact that there was no lifesaving station nearby. And as a result, they blamed the <em>"nation's lifesavers"</em> for their poor eyesight and their inability to see them struggle out in the sea. The author used the word <em>"opprobrious"</em> to state how the four men<u> criticized and expressed their negative feelings</u> about the inability of the men supposed to be out working to save any survivors out at sea.

defensible claim regarding how Bradbury uses plot events to convey the parents' complex attitude towards raising their children
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Bradbury in The Veldt presents a situation where a family has an intelligent house that has a particular room where the kids (Peter and Wendy) can think about different situations and the walls and the ceiling project those situations, making them more real (the noises and smell also reflect those situations).

This story describes how technology replaces humans in every aspect of their lives with the excuse of being "helpful". This parents are feeling useless because their house makes everything for them, they don't cook, they don't even shower themselves. However, what is more important is that this house replaced the role of parenting. Peter and Wendy feel loved by the house, but they don't feel loved by their parents: their mom and their dad are the ones who put "limits" and who tell them off.

Peter and Wendy's parents start worrying way too late. They were too comfortable to worry and the ending of the story represents it.

Explanation:

To complete this exercise, you have to <u>read The Veldt</u> by Ray Bradbury. Bradbury was a well-known writer from the United States who wrote mostly science fiction and dystopic novels and stories.

This story describes how technology ended up replacing everything in this family's lives and the consequences it brought.
