The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely

and the grass was richly green. The people of the village began to gather in the square, between the post office and the bank, around ten o'clock; in some towns there were so many people that the lottery took two days and had to be started on June 26th, but in this village, where there were only about three hundred people, the whole lottery took only about two hours, so it could begin at ten o'clock in the morning and still be through in time to allow the villagers to get home for noon dinner.

mojhsa [17]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

One central idea of Morris’s essay is that getting rid of things can be a relief for people. Which two of these details help illustrate that idea?

Choose one answer from each group. Type the LETTER ONLY for each answer in the correct blank.

Type A, B, C, or D for Blank 1.

A.Their houses are filled with an undigested mass of things, like the terminal moraine where a glacier dumps at length everything it has picked up during its progress through the lands.

B.Truly, on all sides we are beset, and we go lumbering along through life like a ship encrusted with barnacles.

C.Such things as we cannot give away, and have not the courage to destroy, we stack in the garret.

D.Then, as we breathe more freely in the clear space that we have made for ourselves, we grow aware that we must not relax our vigilance.

Type E, F, G, or H for Blank 2.

E.The host must receive gifts from every little guest, and provide in return some little remembrance for each to take home.

F.We cannot go to luncheon and meet our friends but we must receive a token to carry away.

G.And to think that there was a time when folk had not even that hope!

H.To think one could not even then be clear of things, and make at least a fresh start! That must, indeed, have been in the childhood of the race.

Answer:

D and H

Explanation:

Option D shows how when we get rid of unnecessary and excess things, we are more light, breathe more freely and have a comfortable feeling of freedom and satisfaction. Option H complements this thinking, as it shows that when we get rid of these things, we can start from scratch, correct errors, promote a healthier and more comfortable environment, without excesses, without waste and lighter and more beneficial.

Which of the following phrases from the selection best demonstrate the author's use of foreshadowing?
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

B. "The forest seemed interminable; nowhere did he discover a break in it, not even a woodman's road."

Explanation:

Foreshadowing is a literary technique used by many authors to anticipate a clue about information that will only appear in the text later, or information that the characters still do not know. Foreshadowing serves to make the reader curious about the consequences that anticipated information will have on the narrative. Among the options given in the question, the one with foreshadowing is the letter B, as the author anticipates the information that "the forest seemed endless" before the character realizes it.

Read the excerpt from Dwight Okita's "In Response to Executive Order 9066".
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

bleak and unfavorable places where typically nothing thrives.

Explanation:

Based on the excerpt, readers can assume that the internment camps are bleak and unfavorable places where typically nothing survives.

This is because, from the conversation, the narrator says "My father says where we're going, they won't grow" when they were talking about packing tomato seeds. So for this reason, the readers can infer that the internment camps are unfavorable and bleak.
