In what way is arthur radley different to whom the children thought he was
Snezhnost [94]

<span>Arthur was no beast or monstrous. He was a extremely shy person who ends up being a guardian angel figure for Scout and Jem. He resembles a man that has been closed in his home for quite a long time however there is a thoughtfulness and blamelessness about him that misrepresents any of the silly gossipy tidbits about him that Scout and Jem used to engage in. </span>

In "The Open Window", how does the description of Vera as self-possessed contribute to the reader's understanding of her charact
TEA [102]

Answer:

A. The reader learns that she is confident and composed which makes her appear credible.

Explanation:

Saki's short story "The Open Window" is about a character named Framton Nuttel who had gone to his new neighbor's house to be introduced. And while waiting for the lady of the house, he was told a rather ghastly story by the niece Vera, which was in fact, just a lie.

Through her narration of how her aunt keeps the window open in anticipation of the arrival of her husband and brothers from their hunting, Vera managed to 'horrify' Framton. So, when the hunting party arrived, Framton dashed out of the house, which Mrs. Sappleton admits <em>"One would think he had seen a ghost"</em>. And Vera's declaration of how it must have been the spaniel that led Mr. Framton rushing out of the house shows how self-possessed she is and also contributes to the reader's understanding of her character.  She finds joy in the scene and seems to be enjoying it. And <u>her confident and composed nature at the scene shows her self-possessed nature.</u>

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

bonufazy [111]

The options are:

A). Not likely, because the sample is not random and thus probably not an accurate reflection of public opinion on the issue.

B). Not likely, because the sample size is too small.

C). Not likely, because a poll is only a snapshot of what people think at the time a poll is taken.

D). Yes, because the magazine has a national circulation and the sample size is sufficiently large.

Answer:

E). Not likely, because the sample is not random and thus probably not an accurate reflection of public opinion on the issue.

Explanation:

As per the given description, the two-third letters received by the magazine out of 1500 letters favoring the stricter rules against talking on the cell phone during driving 'can not be considered an accurate public opinion because the sample has not been taken randomly to reflect the exact opinion of the people.' Another key reason is that <u>the audience of the news magazine includes a specific group of people who do not represent the entire population correctly</u>. Secondly, <u>even out of the ones who read it a very little percentage of people would take efforts to write about it after reading the article</u>. Thus, it is not an accurate public opinion.
