Answer:

Awestruck- a. In the next room, the door of which was open, I could see a magnificent glut dressing case, with some splendid diamond and ruby shirt studs lying by it, and a chest of drawers, and a cupboard apparently full of clothes. (The Notch On The Ax by William Makepeace Thackeray )

Calm- b. A hearty hand-clasp from Jack, a frank and smiling greeting from Polly (she looked handsomer than ever, Harold thought, with her lustrous black hair and soft, dark-gray eyes ), put him at his ease at one. ( The Emergency Men by George H. Jessop )

Humorous- c. By reason of my tender age (and there are some critics who, I hope will be satisfied by my acknowledging that I am a hundred and fifty-six next birthday ), I could not understand what was the meaning of this next excursion—this candle, this tool house, this bag of soot. ( On Being Found Out by William Makepeace Thackeray )

Explanation:

1. The excerpt from "The Notch on the Axe" by William Makepeace Thackeray shows an awestruck tone with the description of the room, the things the speaker can see inside the room. The depiction of the room with "full of clothes, ...diamond and ruby.. and a chest full of drawers" exudes an image of grandeur which will impress anyone.

2. George H. Jessop's "The Emergency Men" exudes a calm tone when he uses the words "put him at his ease".

3. William Thackeray's "On Being Found Out" is a humorous one for it is quite unbelievable and funny when the speaker talks of his age as "a hundred and fifty-six next birthday".

in the short story "the youngest doll" what did the youngest say happened to the dolls hand's and face?

monitta

The youngest answered him that the ants had at last discovered the doll was filled with honey and, streaming over the piano, had devoured it in a single night. "Since the hands and face were made of Mikado porcelain and were as delicate as sugar," she said, "the ants have probably taken them to some underground burrow and at this very moment are probably wearing down their teeth, gnawing furiously at fingers and eyelids to no avail."

Analyze the setting that Dante develops in Canto XXI. Examine how 1) the choices the author makes to describe the setting and 2)

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

In Canto IV of Dante Alighieri's Inferno, Dante starts to explore the first circle of Hell, called Limbo. This circle is described as the false heaven for those who can not worship the Christian religion. This allows readers to understand that people suspended in this first circle of Hell were not sinners and were placed in a circle of hell so as to maintain order, giving people a place to live after death. Dante uses widely acknowledged figures, such as Aristotle and Socrates to portray Limbo to readers. He makes that to show the place where they live with human wisdom but without God's light, emphasizing that they lived on earth as intellectuals in the field of human wisdom.
