Read the excerpt from Irving’s "The Mysterious Stranger." His eyes rolled upwards, until nothing but the whites were visible; hi

s hands were clasped together, until the fingers were deeply imprinted in the flesh. When the music expressed the dying agony, his face gradually sunk upon his knees; and at the touching words resounding through the church, “Jesu mori,” sobs burst from him uncontrolled. Which statement best describes Irving’s tone in the excerpt?

The first sentence of "The Mysterious Stranger" showed his tone very well: "His eyes rolled upwards, until nothing but the whites were visible; his hands were clasped together, until the fingers were deeply imprinted in the flesh" When the story says that "his eyes rolled upwards, until nothing but the whites were visible", that indicates that he is very stressed and upset about something serious. Then it says "his hands were clasped together, until the fingers were deeply imprinted in the flesh", now this indicated that he is very stressed and worried about something. So the tone of the excerpt would be stressed.

Write a poem. For each color of the rainbow, describe what that color "tastes" like to you.
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Red,

It tastes hot and magnificently spicy,

Spicy enough to burn your tongue,

Orange,

Sweet like a tangerine or a mango,

Yellow,

This I love the most,

For it tastes like sunny summer days,

Crunchy memories; joy!

Green,

The freshly cut grass,

The taste of bitter bitter apples,

And life,

Blue,

Like a clear happy sky freshly painted,

Or raindrops neatly falling to the somber ground,

It tastes calm,

Purple,

Powerful and majestic,

It, too, tastes sweet,

But, also alluring,

Pink!

The pop,

The excitement,

Bold and bright, it tastes like new,

Being uncomfortable.

Sati [7]

Answer:

He uses a previous status of African Americans as evidence.

Explanation:

The reason Judge Taney's arguments are ineffective is because he uses a previous status of African Americans as evidence which is not admissible because it is a previous status and not a current one.

What is the structure of the passage below?
hodyreva [135]

The correct answer is Cause and effect

Explanation:

The text presented focuses on the economic crisis of 2008. In this, the author first refers to this event through a general statement "Many people are confused about why our economy went to shambles in 2008", and then explains the causes of the event. Additionally, to do this, the author enumerates the causes, this can be seen in "Second, banks would bundle these toxic loans...".

This means the general organization of this text is to mention an event and then explain the causes of it in detail. This only occurs in the cause and effect organization because this the only one that allows authors to explore the causes and/or effects of one or more events. According to this, the structure is cause and effect.
