Answer:

B. he and Daisy are not a happily married couple.

Explanation:

It is obvious from the beginning of the novel that Daisy and Tom are not in love with each other - they are together out of convenience. Daisy still somewhat loves Gatsby and Tom has a mistress. The phone calls he receives during the dinner are from his lover, Myrtle. The author used her to show how empty and vain the characters, especially Tom and Daisy, are in this novel.

Answer:

C. "She should quote the second sentence directly, because it establishes important supporting evidence in a unique way."

Explanation:

I think this one is correct, however I am not positive, it's really just a guess. The first sentence is common knowledge and you shouldn't need to add what the readers already know if it's the main idea. The second sentence isn't necessarily common knowledge and should always be cited.

Hope this helped, let me know if it's right or not.

Select the two lines that contribute to the exposition of the story? Group of answer choices "The man called Evans came swaying
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

"The man called Evans came swaying along the canoe until he could look over his companion's shoulder."

"The paper had the appearance of a rough map. By much folding it was creased and worn to the pitch of separation, and the second man held the discoloured fragments together where they had parted."

Explanation:

Hello. From the context of your question we can see that it relates to "The Treasure in the Forest" a tale written by HG Wells that presents the story of two men who sail in search of treasure after murdering a Chinese man and stealing the map he owned.

The story follows a plot full of adventures, mysteries and reflections and like every plot presents an element called exposition. The exposition can be found at the beginning of the story where important elements for the development of the entire plot are presented to the reader. In the case of the question above, the two response options selected above are two examples of exposition, where one of the characters and the map are presented, which is a central element in the entire narrative.

How does the author develop the idea that it's difficult for her to discuss
Fantom [35]

Answer:

In some ways enslaved African American families very much resembled other families who lived in other times and places and under vastly different circumstances. Some husbands and wives loved each other; some did not get along. Children sometimes abided by parent’s rules; other times they followed their own minds. Most parents loved their children and wanted to protect them. In some critical ways, though, the slavery that marked everything about their lives made these families very different. Belonging to another human being brought unique constrictions, disruptions, frustrations, and pain.

Slavery not only inhibited family formation but made stable, secure family life difficult if not impossible.Enslaved people could not legally marry in any American colony or state. Colonial and state laws considered them property and commodities, not legal persons who could enter into contracts, and marriage was, and is, very much a legal contract. This means that until 1865 when slavery ended in this country, the vast majority of African Americans could not legally marry. In northern states such as New York, Pennsylvania, or Massachusetts, where slavery had ended by 1830, free African Americans could marry, but in the slave states of the South, many enslaved people entered into relationships that they treated like marriage; they considered themselves husbands and wives even though they knew that their unions were not protected by state laws.

A father might have one owner, his "wife" and children another.Some enslaved people lived in nuclear families with a mother, father, and children. In these cases each family member belonged to the same owner. Others lived in near-nuclear families in which the father had a different owner than the mother and children. Both slaves and slaveowners referred to these relationships between men and women as “abroad marriages.” A father might live several miles away on a distant plantation and walk, usually on Wednesday nights and Saturday evenings to see his family as his obligation to provide labor for an owner took precedence over his personal needs.

This use of unpaid labor to produce wealth lay at the heart of slavery in America. Enslaved people usually worked from early in the morning until late at night. Women often returned to work shortly after giving birth, sometimes running from the fields during the day to feed their infants. On large plantations or farms, it was common for children to come under the care of one enslaved woman who was designated to feed and watch over them during the day while their parents worked. By the time most enslaved children reached the age of seven or eight they were also assigned tasks including taking care of owner’s young children, fanning flies from the owner’s table, running errands, taking lunch to owners’ children at school, and eventually, working in the tobacco, cotton, corn, or rice fields along with adults.

Slave quarters.

Mulberry Plantation, South Carolina.

On large plantations, slave cabins and the yards of the slave quarters served as the center of interactions among enslaved family members. Here were spaces primarily occupied by African Americans, somewhat removed from the labor of slavery or the scrutiny of owners, overseers, and patrollers. Many former slaves described their mothers cooking meals in the fireplace and sewing or quilting late into the night. Fathers fished and hunted, sometimes with their sons, to provide food to supplement the rations handed out by owners. Enslaved people held parties and prayer meetings in these cabins or far out in the woods beyond the hearing of whites. In the space of the slave quarters, parents passed on lessons of loyalty; messages about how to treat people; and stories of family genealogy. It was in the quarters that children watched adults create potions for healing, or select plants to produce dye for clothing. It was here too, that adults whispered and cried about their impending sale by owners.

Family separation through sale was a constant threat.Enslaved people lived with the perpetual possibility of separation through the sale of one or more family members. Slaveowners’ wealth lay largely in the people they owned, therefore, they frequently sold and or purchased people as finances warranted. A multitude of scenarios brought about sale. An enslaved person could be sold as part of an estate when his owner died, or because the owner needed to liquidate assets to pay off debts, or because the owner thought the enslave
