My first day of college was a disaster. First, I went to the wrong classroom for math. I was sitting in the class, surrounded by

people taking notes and paying attention to how to do equations, which would have been okay if I was supposed to be in an algebra class. In reality, I was supposed to be in geometry, and when I discovered my error, I had already missed the first twenty minutes of a one-hour class. When I got to the correct class, all twenty-five students turned and looked at me as the teacher said,
“You’re late.” That would have been bad enough, but in my next class my history teacher spoke so fast I could not follow most of what he said. The only thing I did hear was that we were having a quiz tomorrow over today’s lecture. My day seemed to be going better during botany class, that is, until we visited the lab. I had a sneezing fit because of one of the plants in the lab and had to leave the room. When I finally finished my classes for the day, I discovered I had locked my keys in the car and had to wait for my brother to bring another set. My first day of school was so bad that I know the rest will have to be better.
"My first day of school was so bad that I know the rest will have to be better." What function does this sentence serve in the paragraph as a whole?
A) It serves to give an example to support the thesis.
B) It serves to state the thesis.
C) It serves to counter an argument related to the thesis.
D) It serves to conclude the paragraph.

Answer:

B) Boaz admires Ruth’s courage in coming to a land that is foreign to her.

C) Boaz respects Ruth’s character due to the sacrifices she has made to be loyal to Naomi.

Explanation:

Ruth was the daughter-in-law of a woman named Naomi whose sons had died leaving her with the two widowed wives, Ruth and Orpah. Naomi's husband Elimelek had also died so she decided to return back to her hometown of Bethlehem. But she also gave permission to the two widows to return to their own families and stay happy with them.

While Orpah left, Ruth sticks with her mother-in-law and went to Bethlehem. There, she did work, obeying whatever Naomi told her or asked her to go, collecting the leftover harvests in people's fields. In one such field, the owner Boaz came to know about her. It is after much observation that he spoke to her these given words in the passage from <u>chapter 2:11</u>. This passage reveals the <u>admiration that Boaz has for Ruth, her courage in coming to a foreign land away from her own family. It also reveals the respect that Boaz has for Ruth's character for the sacrifices she has made by being loyal to her mother-in-law Naomi.</u>

Elanso [62]

Answer:

Proceed (forward & go = to go forward) + ed (simple past tense) = Proceeded

Explanation:

It was only in the Middle-Ages that the English society had started using this particular word in the form PROCEED which has several meanings in English Language today:

To proceed = to continue doing something

To proceed = to go forward with your plans or actions

You may proceed = the most common way in terms of politeness to say to someone that he or she can continue with his/her work, intentions or other actions

In your question, the mentioned word is in the simple past tense (+ed)

Examples of Proceed + ed:

Part A
Nastasia [14]

After reading the line from the first stanza of "O Captain! My Captain!" by Walt Whitman, we can answer in the following manner:

Part A:

A. War

Part B:

A. It introduces a celebratory tone.

<h3>What is the poem about?</h3>
  • The poem "O Captain! My Captain" is an elegy, which means it is a sad poem expressing admiration for someone who has passed away. In this case, that person is Abraham Lincoln.
<h3 /><h3>What does "fearful trip" mean?</h3>
  • The whole poem is an extended metaphor about the civil war in the United States. When the speaker talks about a fearful trip being done, he means that the war is finally over.

<h3>What does that figurative language express?</h3>
  • By talking about the fearful trip being done, the speaker introduces a celebratory tone. That means he is happy that the war has ended and that the Union has won.
  • It is important to note, however, that this celebratory tone is replaced by a mournful one in the second half of the poem. The speaker is happy the war is over, but sad that Lincoln is not alive to see the victory.

With the information above in mind, we can choose letter A for part A, and also letter A for part B.
