Answer:

<em>She had come to San Francisco in 1949 after losing everything in China. But she never looked back with regret</em><em> is the example of indirect characterization.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Indirect characterization</u> is the process by which the writer describes a character through his or her actions or speech, and not by explicitly telling the reader what type of person that character is. In this case, the excerpt <em>She had come to San Francisco in 1949 after losing everything in China. But she never looked back with regret</em> tells the reader about the personality of the mother through indirect characterization.

Read the poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay" by Robert Frost. Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a
asambeis [7]

The sentence that best describes the symbolic meaning of gold in the poem is The wonderful things in life that do not last.

This poem uses a very important parallel where it shows the word Gold as a precious or perfect thing in this line "Nothing gold can stay". We have another example that talks about how things that we appreciate in life are not eternal and we have to live them when they are happening in the line "Nature's first green is gold".

The other options are not possible because the poem has a constant element of transition from one thing to another which represents temporal things.

In the context of the passage as a whole, the author’s comparison between the qualities of people and of metals (paragraphs 5-6)
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

E. reinforce the author’s overarching claim about ordinary people’s capacity for success

Explanation:

Answer E

Correct. A base metal is a metal of little monetary value, as opposed to a precious metal like gold. In stating that “from apparently the basest metals we have the finest toned bells,” the author asserts that a material that is considered worthless can nevertheless become the medium for the beautiful sound of a high-quality bell. He notes that people who are not valued by society (“simple manhood,” “dregs of society”) can similarly achieve great things sometimes. He then observes that steel objects and rusty razors can actually improve in quality after being left “neglected and forgotten” in the dirt, reflecting that the most marginalized and maligned of people (“the lowly and despised”) can similarly become agents of “improvement and progress” for the world. The comparison between metals and people thus reinforces the author’s thesis that people who do not seem to possess great talent or many advantages can still achieve extraordinary things (“excellence often comes unheralded and from unexpected quarters”).

What is the theme of lemon tree
Radda [10]

The story is basically saying that we can learn from our elders, because they have been around longer and have more experience than us.

You can see this when it says "the tree is older than you are...you might find stories in its branches".
