Which one best completes the sentence has a pronoun used mr.peters Between Molly and

Which sentence best shows a compare/contrast organization of ideas? A) The number of video games that Arnold owns is staggering

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

The correct option is letter B) While Rebecca wants to go swimming every day, Arnold only wants to stay home and play video games.

Explanation:

A sentence that compares two elements focuses on those elements' similarities. A sentence that contrasts two elements focuses on their differences. Among the options given, letter B is the only one that presents a compare/contrast organization of ideas. As a matter of fact, it is contrasting Rebecca's and Arnold's preferences. The conjunction "while" helps convey the idea of contrast by stating that, while one element wants one thing, the other element wants something else. While Rebecca would rather go swimming, Arnold prefers to stay home. The difference between their preferences are made clear by the sentence's organization.

PLZZ HELPP I HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME & IM STUCK!!!

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Three

Communication is of paramount importance. But how do we communicate? How do the young convey their hopes and dreams and aspirations to grandparents where there could be 70 years difference in age? How do the grand parents convey the wisdom they have gathered during that 70 years and are in the process of having it evaporate as death approaches and pain becomes a constant companion? That is what the story is mainly about. It is about 4 generations trying to say something to one another and all of them having difficult conveying what they wanted or knew. The girl could only see that there was a road block between her and what she loved. The young boy (Ian) could only be content because he was bathed in attention. The mother was caught between two people, one whom she loved and one that the culture trained her to respect. And the husband only understood that there was money problems and he had to find a way to make everyone content. It's a complex story with no easy resolution: the ending convinces us of nothing.

Four

We have to look at all the complexities of the story to even begin to understand each person's point of view. The key to it is grandmother who brings all her understanding of the world with her and she is hard pressed to compromise with her view of the world. Her treatment of Ian and the way she treats the girl telling the story makes her a sad figure really because she does not ever realize until the end what the ribbons binding her feet and those of the ballet slippers were quite different. I don't know if you could say there was an uneasy acceptance of the situation or not. The grandmother was the key. She was dealing with two young American children. She was the one who had to understand them. She was in a different place, and her daughter could not be assertive enough to tell what she needed to know.

Match the literary movement or subgenre with the literature.

astraxan [27]

Answer:

The literary movement or sub-genre that matches with the literature - The sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" is Early American and Colonial Literature. The right answer is Option A.

Explanation:

Sermons were written in plain style rather than ornate d religious poetry. They focused on daily life, moral attitudes and political unrest. The literature was instructive as it reinforced the authority of the Bible and the Church in it. Fate was determined by God and all people are sinful and must be saved by the Christ - were the themes of this literary period. Puritanism started as an insult of traditional Anglicans to those who wished to "purify" the Church of England. Jonathan Edwards’s "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" had been written during this phase.

The motive of delivering this sermon is to warn the congregation particularly and presumably, the nation as a whole that they must repent of their sinful ways. They must turn to God for forgiveness to escape death by hellfire before it's too late. Edwards is saying that this is the opportunity to embrace and accept Jesus Christ, his teachings and his sacrifice as reparation for sins. The choice must be made by those people who God is calling, through Jesus Christ, to accept the call to repentance and a new life or reject it.

Which character is described in these lines? "but weapons of victory Swords and suchlike he had sworn to dispense with" Beowulf

galina1969 [7]

<span>The correct answer is A. This description applies to Beowulf.

At this point in the poem, Beowulf is about to battle Grendel. Because Grendel is charmed such that no human weapon can harm him, Beowulf must do away with "weapons of victory," such as swords. Beowulf goes down to battle Grendel without taking any weapons with him.

Once there, however, he finds the sword forged by giants, which he uses to slay Grendel. Because this sword was not made by human hands, it can be used to kill Grendel.</span>
