A. The mystery around the monkey's paw is introduced

Hints of this lie  in the adjectives such as "curiously" and the mention of "magic" which tells the reader that there might be something more to monkey's paw, and that maybe we should be curious.

Read the excerpt from "A Quilt of a Country." Tolerance is the word used most often when this kind of coexistence succeeds, but
lidiya [134]

Answer:

  • The sentence that best explains how the context of the excerpt supports the author's idea is:  <u><em>"When photographs of the faces of all those who died in the World Trade Center destruction are assembled in one place, it will be possible to trace in the skin color, the shape of the eyes and the noses, the texture of the hair, a map of the world."</em></u>
  • Quindlen uses the context of the World Trade Center attacks to describe the unity among Americans of all different nationalities.

Explanation:

We can see that Quindlen's idea that all Americans unite during times of difficulty is present when she talks about the Tade Center destruction and how people from different ethnicities and nationalities died. The loss of all of them was equally felt by Americans because, even if all the victims were different, it is the loss of the people that makes our nation.

The attack on the World Trade Center is a clear example of how Americans, even with their different nationalities, come together during hard times thank patriotism, which makes all the citizens leave their differences behind for the country.

What does the quote, "It forces you to slow down and smell the proverbial roses." mean? This is about letter writing.
Gwar [14]

Answer and Explanation:

We can tell from the tone of this writer that he/she really appreciates letter writing, as opposed to typing. Essentially, it's saying that when you handwrite something, there's an intimate component to it that makes the piece of literary work feel totally your own. This is opposed to the mechanical feel of typing, where everything is one font and you're simply clacking out the letters. Instead, with letter handwriting, you're slower at it (because handwriting something is quite slow), which allows you to enjoy your writing a little more and "smell the proverbial roses" by including little details here and there that truly make the piece a very self-connected one.

Hope this helps!
