English

Answer: A. His reputation as a deceitful person makes other disbelieve him, even though he is telling the truth.

Explanation: An irony is when an event seems contrary to what we expect. In the story Hauchecorne had a bad reputation as a dishonest person, so when Malandain blamed him for stealing a wallet, no one believed Hauchecorne when he said he didn't do it, even though he was telling the truth. That is a clear example of an irony.

I think the answer is A because the villagers only knew him as a crafty old man even though he was telling the truth. They assumed this because of past experiences.

PLS HELP, 7th GRADE ENGLISH IS HARD
Ghella [55]

Answer:

1. D

2. Unclear, it should say it's but there is an answer choice saying "change its to it's," the article may have been meant to say "its", which would make C correct since it isn't being used as a possessive pronoun. If not, it would be D

3. A (since it is referring to today's as a possessive pronoun)

4. A

5. D

Explanation:

Since there were so many questions included I didn't explain all. If you need anything else further explained let me know in the comments!!

If this helped you don't forget to give my answer a good rating and/or vote me brainliest!!

dlinn [17]

Based on the stage directions, An alien does "Figure One"

Explanation:

Maple Street is full of children playing and adults chatting as the shadow falls, followed by a blanket and a burst of colour. Everybody knows, however they believe r]]] and easily restart their tasks. The inhabitants quickly learned that their electricity had gone off, impacting stoves, lawn mowers, vehicles and computers. They're meeting in the street to address the case. Pete Van Horn, pounded in his bib caps, volunteers to move across to Floral Lane, on the next lane, and see whether it's influenced as well. His friends, Steve Brand and Charlie Farnsworth, plan to go to town, but Tommy, a neighbourhood child, encourages them not to go.

Tommy has read the stories of an alien invasion that has created similar issues, so he claims the aliens don't want anybody out of the driveway. Tommy continues that in the plot, aliens are acting as a family that seems to be human, but are explorers, and the power loss that they create is intended to divide the community. The adults are incredulous, assuring him that the trigger is normal, probably the product of sunspots. Charlie wondered whether Pete Van Horn was able to make it to Floral Road.
