Read the excerpt from "The Willow-Wren and the Bear.” When the time came for the war to begin, the willow-wren sent out spies to

discover who was the enemy's commander-in-chief. The gnat, who was the most crafty, flew into the forest where the enemy was assembled, and hid herself beneath a leaf of the tree where the password was to be announced. There stood the bear, and he called the fox before him and said: 'Fox, you are the most cunning of all animals, you shall be general and lead us.' 'Good,' said the fox, 'but what signal shall we agree upon?' No one knew that, so the fox said: 'I have a fine long bushy tail, which almost looks like a plume of red feathers. When I lift my tail up quite high, all is going well, and you must charge; but if I let it hang down, run away as fast as you can.' When the gnat had heard that, she flew away again, and revealed everything, down to the minutest detail, to the willow-wren. When day broke, and the battle was to begin, all the four-footed animals came running up with such a noise that the earth trembled. The willow-wren with his army also came flying through the air with such a humming, and whirring, and swarming that every one was uneasy and afraid, and on both sides they advanced against each other. But the willow-wren sent down the hornet, with orders to settle beneath the fox's tail, and sting with all his might. When the fox felt the first string, he started so that he lifted one leg, from pain, but he bore it, and still kept his tail high in the air; at the second sting, he was forced to put it down for a moment; at the third, he could hold out no longer, screamed, and put his tail between his legs. When the animals saw that, they thought all was lost, and began to flee, each into his hole, and the birds had won the battle. Which evidence best supports the conclusion that this story was written for children? The story is set in a forest. The battle was won by a trick. The excerpt describes a battle. The characters are talking animals.

Answer: D) The characters are talking animals.

Explanation: personification is a figure of speech that consists in giving human characteristics to non human objects (or animals). In the given excerpt from "The Willow-Wren and the Bear" we can see an example of personification, because all the animals can talk (and have other human characteristics). The talking animals is the evidence that best supports the conclusion that the story was written for children, because it is a very common characteristic of children's stories.

Based on the passage, what was Mora's purpose for
dusya [7]

The correct answer is A. To encourage readers to recognize and embrace diversity

Explanation:

In essays and other texts, the purpose is the main reason or motivation for the author to write a text. This purpose is usually expressed through main ideas and sub-ideas during all the text.

In the case of Mora's essay the purpose is "to encourage readers to recognize and embrace diversity" this is because form the beginning Mora refers to diversity, this can be seen in "One-third of this nation now traces its heritage to regions other than Western Europe", which shows the importance of diversity. Also, this idea is supported when the author invites readers to embrace this diversity by stating "I urged... all of us to ponder the strength of the mountains around us" considering the "mountains" represent the diversity and heritage.

Why was it so difficult to get Malala out of Pakistan?
Daniel [21]

Answer: Political tension

Explanation:

Malala Yousafzai was shot by Taliban hitmen in response to her activism and constantly speaking out against the Taliban. When she got to a Pakistani hospital, the doctor informed the government that they could not take care of her in Pakistan.

The government suggested England however they could not formally request that England take her because that would mean admitting that they could not take care of their own. They also did not want the Americans involved due to the recent Bin Laden raid that was done without the Pakistanis being informed.

In the end the United Arab Emirates offered to help which was more acceptable because they are a Muslim country.

What type of Literary Devices is this passage and provide an explanation
kari74 [83]

Since the speaker compares himself to a night owl and Wilson to an early bird without the usage of the words "like" or "as", this is an example of metaphor. The reader is obviously not actually a night owl, but is merely saying that he's more active at night.
