Answer: E) Death is a dignitary who when he comes announces is to be received with formal manifestations of respect, even by those most familiar with him.

Explanation:

Personification is a type of figurative language in which human traits are given to something that is not human. Objects are given emotions, desires, speech, gestures, etc.

In <em>An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge</em>, Ambrose Bierce gives human qualities to death. In this excerpt, death performs the action of announcing, and is referred to as 'he'. Death is personified as a <em>dignitary</em> - someone who receives respect.

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Less CO2 and H2O would be produced

Explanation:

Since you can only change the amount of reactants, you should be looking for compounds on the reactant side that contain oxygen. If you decrease something on the reactant side, compounds produced on the product side will be affected. Since both CO2 and H2O contain oxygen, and the O2 is the only reactant with oxygen in it, then the amount of CO2 and H2O will be reduced.

You have learned that it is important to listen critically.

In this speech, Michelle Obama seeks to promote her programe "Let Girls Learn" and celebrate its first anniversary. Ms Obama firstly explains that this programe arouse from the anger and outrage that the lack of education for women worldwide caused her and all people involved. She states that barriers for girls education are not merely economical, but attitudinal and legal. "In my lifetime" she says "it was perfectly legal for employers to discrimate against women". She further explains that the rights that women gained and now posse are being taken for granted while they are "at risk of being rolled back". These rights, she explained, were attained through protests and negociations, and for this, education was key.

She then provides touching examples of girls from developing countries and how they fought to beat their circumstances and become their own person. Because, she claims, "girls know that education is their only path to self sufficiency, the only chance of shaping their own fate".

Finally, she praises the US Government for leading the way in the issue, through scholarships, investments and the building of infrastructure. She explains that big corporations and even other countries like Japan, the UK and South Korea are involved in the project, along with people worldwide who participates and volunteer.

Ms. Obama is clearly involved with this issue, and the emotion can be felt through her words. The information she shares is veridic and reliable. And even though she seeks to promote her programe and her husband's administration in the process, I believe she is truly commited to helping women around the world.

The speech: Watch Michelle Obama speak on International Women's Day
