Answer: B. By having Ruth feel pride toward Walter after her initial indifference, the author leaves the reader feeling satisfied with their relationship.

Walter has been a complicated character throughout the play. Unhappy with his financial situation, he is desperate to improve it, at the same time as he is ashamed because of his inability to provide for his family. This leads him to make bad financial decisions that only leave the family in a worse situation. This has also taken a toll on his relationship with Ruth. However, in this scene, we see Walter has changed, and Ruth has noticed. She is extremely proud of him, which implies that their relationship will survive.

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Determine a position

When writing an argumentative essay you have to have a side or something you believe in rather than other options. Like if the essay was vanilla or strawberry you have to pick a position (in this case a flavor) to write about.

Ai writes, "The refugee crisis is not about refugees, rather it is about us (par.13). What does he mean by this? Who is "us"? Ho
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The phrase "The refugee crisis is not about refugees, rather it is about us" has enormous sociological weight that needs to be analyzed. Thus, refugees are people who due to political, social or economic conflicts are displaced from their homes, and must settle abroad (that is, they do not emigrate entirely voluntarily, but by necessity or force majeure).

Many times, due to extremely serious issues, refugees fleeing their countries number in the millions (for example, the case of Syrians fleeing the civil war in their country). This generates the sad event of refugee crises, which occur because the receiving countries are not prepared for the massive arrival of these people.

In this context, the phrase implies that refugees are not the problem, but that it is the task of each country and its citizens to help these people cope with their situation in the best possible way.

In the story Treasure Hunters where did Christ get his escape plane from, in chapter 9​
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer: But my assurance was ill-founded, for, in spite of all my coaxing, Nab only circled around and around me until I was dizzy trying to keep track of him.

(Note: There could be some definite improvements for all of these sentences. What I'm about to say may not be consistent with how other people learned.)

Explanation:  "But my assurance was ill-founded, for, in spite of all my coaxing, Nab only circled around and around me until I was dizzy trying to keep track of him."

For is conjunction; any conjunctions after an independent clause are fine.

"Nab suddenly made a dash so close that his flippers brushed my side. He snapped the fish out of my hand, and in the same instant he was again beyond reach."

There needs to be a comma after "instant" so that it would make an independent clause after it.

"By this time I had begun to feel pretty well exhausted, and when I suddenly thought of the undertow, I decided to swim back."

A comma should be placed after "time" to make an independent clause after.
