Answer:

a) Blank verse.

Explanation:

Blank verse is a form of poetry writing that has no specific rhyming sequence. It may be written in iambic pentameter, meaning ten syllables in a line but at times not all lines. The unstressed syllables are followed by the stressed syllables but they do not have any rhyming sequence.

In the lines from the poem given in the question, the lines do use iambic pentameter like-

<u>Wo</u>men <u>of</u> A<u>da</u>mant, <u>fair</u> neo<u>phy</u>tes—

<u>Who</u> thirst <u>for</u> such <u>in</u>struc<u>tion </u>as<u> we</u> give,

where the underlined words are the unstressed syllables while the ones in bold are the stressed syllables.

This un-rhyming verse form is also sometimes known as the heroic verse.

A Raisin in the Sun:
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Walter Lee Younger is a dreamer who tries to find quick solutions to solve his family's problems. He wanted to invest his father's insurance money to start up a liquor store. He thinks money will solve all his family's problems, but that's not true. One prediction is that he will continue to be this way, which will end up in his relationships with Mama, Ruth and Beneatha to be strained.

The second prediction is that he will change his ways, which is seen in the end of the play when Mr. Lindner offers to pay them to prevent them from moving into the white neighborhood. Walter refuses the money that Mr. Lindner offers so his family can live in their dream home, which shows promise of his personality traits changing, knowing that money won't solve all the problems.

Explanation:

This is what I came up with and I truly hope it helps. It was fun kind of going back to this play cause I read it in my sophomore year of high school, so I hope this helps!

Answer:

Chicago en los siglos XX y XXI

Michigan Boulevard. Principios de siglo XX

La aprobación de la Decimoctava Enmienda a la Constitución de los Estados Unidos ilegalizó la producción y venta de bebidas alcohólicas. Dio lugar al período de la ley seca, entre 1919 y 1933, durante el cual prosperaron los gángsters en la ciudad. Destacan Al Capone, Dion O'Banion, Bugs Moran y Tony Accardo.9​ En 1929, Chicago fue el escenario de la matanza de San Valentín, cuando Al Capone envió a sus hombres a asesinar a miembros de la banda rival de Bugs Moran.10​

Con el fin de celebrar el centenario de la ciudad, en 1933 y 1934 se organizó una Feria mundial conocida como “Un Siglo de Progreso”, culminando unos esfuerzos iniciados en enero de 1928. La exposición se ideó como un testimonio de los logros científicos e industriales del siglo transcurrido desde la fundación de la ciudad. El recinto de la feria, de 112 hectáreas, se ubicó a la orilla del lago Míchigan, al sur de Navy Pier (Muelle de la Armada), y contaba con dos lagunas artificiales.

La feria se inauguró el 27 de mayo de 1933, con el encendido de las luces mediante los rayos de la estrella Arturo. Los rayos se captaron con células fotoeléctricas en distintos observatorios astronómicos y luego se transformaron en energía eléctrica que se transmitió a Chicago. La feria fue un éxito sin precedentes y se prolongó hasta 1934, tiempo durante el que recibió más de 48 millones de visitantes.

Como muchas otras ciudades de los Estados Unidos, Chicago está confrontada a la quiebra de su sistema de jubilaciones.11​

El área de Chicago fue una de las ciudades más duramente afectadas por la Ola de frío en América del Norte, haciendo bajar las temperaturas hasta -23°F (-30°C) con sensación térmica que llegó hasta los -52°F (-46°C
