This question is incomplete because it is not specified, which is the underlined idiom. Just to clarify, the underlined idiom in the excerpt is "Sticks and stones don't break bones"

The answer to this question is C. Words cannot actually hurt a person like sticks and stones can

Explanation:

"Daugther of Invention" is a story that tells the struggle of an immigrant family as they move to the U.S. including the attempts for the mother and other members of the family to adapt to the language and culture. For example, in the excerpt presented, the mother tries to use the idiom "sticks and stones may break my bones" that is used to express physical pain is possible, but words and other non-physical attacks cannot hurt you if you do not let this happen, but instead, she says "Sticks and stones don't break bones". Although, she wants to convey the same meaning and encourage her daughters to continue going to school despite bullying. Thus, the option that best describes the original meaning is C.

Write a brief essay about the imagery in the witches’ chant (Scene i, lines 1–38) and the mood that the images help create. Exam
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Students should cite examples of images, indicate the sense or senses to which each image appeals, and then consider how all the negative images work together to create a mood they are likely to describe as eerie, horrid, and/or evil. Among the many images they may cite are the harpier cries of line 3 (sound), the poisoned entrails thrown into the caldron in line 5 (sight), the toad under cold stone in line 6 (touch, sight), and the two images in the refrain of "fire burn and caldron bubble" (touch, sight, and sound).

Looking up from his computer monitor, Jason mopped his brow, exhaled sharply, and picked up his phone.
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer: mopped his brow, exhaled sharply, and picked up his phone

Explanation:

A complete predicate consists of the verb in a sentence and the words that are around the verb that is, the words which modify the verb.

To find the complete predicate, the subject and the verb should be identified first, then one will look at the words which comes after the verb as they make up a complete predicate.

In this case, Jason is the subject and the been here is mopped. Therefore, the complete predicate will be "mopped his brow, exhaled sharply, and picked up his phone".

How dose the detail of the children on the spirit’s legs contribute to the overall text?
gtnhenbr [62]

This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

How does the detail of the children on the spirit’s legs contribute to the overall text?

A. They represent Ignorance and Want, which the spirit warns Scrooge to beware of.

B. They symbolize two of society’s ills which cling to Christmas: the desire to receive instead of to give, and the failure to acknowledge suffering.

C. They represent Ignorance and Want, two of Scrooge’s faults that hopefully have been corrected by the spirit’s visit.

D. The author likely includes these children to remind readers to care for those in need during Christmas time.

Answer:

The correct answer is option B. They symbolize two of society’s ills which cling to Christmas: the desire to receive instead of to give, and the failure to acknowledge suffering.

Explanation:

   Undoubtedly two of the society's ills wich cling to Christmas is the desire to receive, and never think about those who have the least.

This is exactly what the children represent in the spirit's legs. Children with deprivation and poverty while others have everything, and still want more.

This story tells the life of a selfish and sullen man who changes his way of being during a cold Christmas due to the visit of three ghosts, and it is precisely about symbolizing this problem in society, and trying to change it.
