Answer:

B). Foreshadows the ambiguous end of her life.

Explanation:

The short story 'Desiree's baby' authored by Kate Chopin which is set in the pre-civil war era and emphasizes the racial tension between a couple regarding a baby. As per the question, Desiree's obscure origin(African ancestry) presages the ambiguous end of her life. The author through the story aims to describe the evils of racism that lead people to act in a morally corrupt manner and reflect the hollow perceptions of whites considering themselves to be superior. Desiree's enigmatic end is proof of this shallow and corrupt attitude of whites who prioritize race above the human-self. Thus, <em>Desiree's obscure origin 'foreshadows the ambiguous end of her life'.</em>

Excerpt from: The Story of an HourKate ChopinHe had only taken the time (2) to assure himself of it’s truth by a second telegram
Tju [1.3M]

B) to assure himself of its truth

The options given have you take a closer look at the words it's and himself. Option C changes "himself" to "hisself". "Hisself" is never correct. This means we have to decide if the correct answer is "its" or "it's". "Its", without an apostrophe, is the possessive form showing ownership. "It's", with an apostrophe, is a contraction meaning "it is". Let's plug them into the sentence "of it is truth" does not make any sense. Can "it" own truth? Yes, so "its" is the correct answer.

If you use sources and include parenthetical citations in your essay, a works cited page is not required for MLA formatted paper
blagie [28]
<span>
If we use MLA style in our document or paper, the works cited page should be at the end of it. So this statement is FALSE. The <span>parenthetical citations just provides a bit of information like the name of the author and the page number. To get the rest of the information, the reader should resort to the last page of the document. </span></span>

Which statement best shows a problem in Travels with Charley?
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

[S]ince my photograph was as widely distributed as my publisher could make it, I would find it impossible to move about without being recognized.

Explanation:

John Steinbeck's "Travels with Charley" is a travelogue written about the road trip that the author took in 1960 with his poodle Charley. The travel diaries would narrate the author's trips around the United States, a country he's been writing most of his stories about.

The statement that shows a problem is <em>"[S]ince my photograph was as widely distributed as my publisher could make it, I would find it impossible to move about without being recognized."</em> This was because, despite his desire to openly and freely travel the country and see its sights, he can't do that as his photographs had been circulated as much as possible by his publisher. This means that being a famous writer, people are familiar with who he is, and that poses a problem for him to travel freely.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.
