1 answer:

3 0

Answer: Huck wonders about the dead man, but Jim warns that it’s bad luck to think about such things. Huck has already incurred bad luck, according to Jim, by finding and handling a snake’s shed skin. Sure enough, bad luck comes: as a joke, Huck puts a dead rattlesnake near Jim’s sleeping place, and its mate comes and bites Jim. Jim’s leg swells but gets better after several days. A while later, Huck decides to go ashore to get information. Jim agrees, but has Huck disguise himself as a girl, using one of the dresses they took from the houseboat. Huck practices his girl impersonation and then sets out for the Illinois shore. In a formerly abandoned shack, he finds a woman who looks about forty years old and appears to be a newcomer to the town. Huck is relieved because, as a newcomer, the woman will not be able to recognize him. Still, he resolves to remember that he is pretending to be a girl.

What distinct quality does the speaker attribute to his beloved’s face in this excerpt from William Shakespeare’s Sonnet 93?

Savatey [412]

The whole sonnet is, in my opinion, about the fact that this woman does not love the poet - she is hiding her feelings well, and thinking about somebody else. So, the correct answer could be either C or D.

Which sentence states a fact rather than an opinion? A.Cafe' Olympia serves the best coffee in town.B.Cafe' Olympia serves coffe

S_A_V [24]

"Café Olympia serves coffee from all over the world" (B) states a fact rather than an opinion.

When writing essays for school, or researching information to support your writing, it is important to be able to stay factual and avoid stating opinions (unless you are specifically asked to do it, or unless you explicitly mention that you are quoting a biased work).

These characteristics should help you identify an opinion:

appreciation verbs like enjoy, hate, wish, believe, etc.
adjectives expressing value judgement like best, good, bad, favorite, disappointing, fascinating, boring, etc.
clear involvement of the narrator, for example when the subject is I or we.

Conversely, a factual statement usually has:

a distanced narrator, who does not get involved
information which can be checked, like in answer B: "coffee from all over the world."

Knowing that the Latin root -equi- means "equal," choose the best meaning for the word equilateral as it is used in the sentence

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

The answer is D.

Explanation:

Lateral is Latin term which means side. It is mostly used to describe sides of an object, so we can say for example side of the box, side of a car, side of a human body... Since -equi- mean equal and lateral means side, the correct answer is D, the object , or in this case a box whose sides are all equal.

Potentially confusing answer could be C (having more sides). As a synonym for this we would use another Latin prefix multi- which means many (multilateral)
