English

Answer:

<u>C. A man is known by the company he keeps</u>

Explanation:

The proverb "birds of a feather, flock together" is connected with the idea that people who have certain characteristics in common are always together.

The literal meaning of this proverb is: "birds who share the same feather color, fly together".

The word "flock" is used to refer to a large group of animals or people who share a specific characteristic. When we see birds flying together, we can see that they share more than one feature, such as color and  breed.

Breaking the word "Mustn't" between the "t" and the "n"... A) violates the poem's rhyme scheme B) creates an example of onomatop
kompoz [17]

Answer:

The objective of the question is somewhat unclear.

Explanation:

A) It's impossible to tell whether or not the poem's rhyme scheme is being violated. This is because we don't have a reference to the poem where the word was used.

B) The word "Mustn't" is not an example of Onomatopoeia. Onomatopoeia refers to words which when used sound like the object being described. This creates more expression and color in the literature where it is used.

Some examples of Onomatopoeia are:

  1. Zoom
  2. Zing
  3. Belch
  4. Boom
  5. Clang

C) End-Stopping refers to a poetic device that entails a pause at the end of a unit of syntax. A syntactic unit may be a sentence, phrase, or clause.

An example of an end-stopped line is given below:

How can I compare you to a sunny day?

You are more resplendent and lovely:

D) Mustn't only means one thing: "Must Not"

So the word is a contraction of two words: Must and Not.

Contractions are used in the English Language for informal conversations. They are inappropriate for formal correspondences.

Explain how Squealer's description in the 2nd paragraph, "Squealer was so fat that he could with difficulty see out of his eyes"
jekas [21]

Answer:

In literature, when the author uses exaggeration/oversimplification of certain character traits, it is referred to as a caricature. Often insulting, caricatures can also be complimentary or even have a political purpose.

In George Orwell's political allegory, <em>Animal farm</em>, Squealer is one of the three most important animals who rebel against their human farmer. Squealer comes as a clever character with good persuasion techniques. He is, however, quite selfish and power-hungry (like most of the leaders). The very fact that he is described as having a difficulty with seeing "out of his eyes" speaks volumes about both his physical appearance and personality. He is a very fat pig, indeed, but he also only cares about his own interests.

I have never told a lie to avoid an uncomfortable situation
Nimfa-mama [501]
Yes, there have been many times when you have to lie to get out of a situation. For example, I remember a time when I was being asked humiliating questions by a total stranger, so I lied and said that I had to go due to family issues including my mother. It is okay to lie in uncomfortable situations.

Explain the situation involving Mrs. Dubose in Chapter 11? What lesson did Jem (and we ) learn from her final days?
liubo4ka [24]
We learned how amazingly brave she was. Instead of living her last few days on her morphine addiction, we learn how she decided to die clean. Everyday the alarm clock went off a little later, signaling her weaning herself off and eventually breaking her addiction once and for all. Jem, who originally hated Mrs. Dubose for saying a lot of mean things about Atticus, forgives her and sees her bravery. After she dies, he takes the flower she left for him and "fingers it." His views on people change because he realizes that he doesn't know what struggles they could be facing.
