Read the passage from “The Monkey’s Paw.” The Whites are being offered compensation for Herbert’s death. In what way does the st

ranger’s answer increase the tension of the rising action? From “The Monkey’s Paw” The [visitor] coughed, and rising, walked slowly to the window. “The firm wished me to convey their sincere sympathy with you in your great loss,” he said, without looking round. “I beg that you will understand I am only their servant and merely obeying orders.” There was no reply; the old woman’s face was white, her eyes staring, and her breath inaudible; on the husband’s face was a look such as his friend the sergeant might have carried into his first action. “I was to say that Maw and Meggins disclaim all responsibility,” continued the other. “They admit no liability at all, but in consideration of your son’s services, they wish to present you with a certain sum as compensation.” Mr. White dropped his wife’s hand, and rising to his feet, gazed with a look of horror at his visitor. His dry lips shaped the words, “How much?” “Two hundred pounds,” was the answer. Unconscious of his wife’s shriek, the old man smiled faintly, put out his hands like a sightless man, and dropped, a senseless heap, to the floor. The answer satisfies the first wish, and there are still two wishes left. The answer causes the wife to shriek. The answer causes Mr. White to faint. The answer indicates that Herbert has doubts about the wish.

Summarize Nguyen Thi Do's experiences while serving as a Vietcong nurse. Include evidence from the text.
Tamiku [17]

The question above wants to analyze your reading and writing ability through a summary. For that reason, I can't write the summary for you, but I'll show you how to write it.

First, you should know that a summary is a short, straightforward text that presents only the main points of another text.

Therefore, to write a summary of Nguyen Thi Do's experiences, you must read the text where she presents these experiences.

After this reading, you can write your summary of the following form:

  • Show the main experiences of Nguyen Thi Do.
  • Show the feeling she had during those moments.
  • Show how it is meaningful to the text.

You can find out more about how to make a summary at the link below:

Using the questions below, write a paragraph (5-7 sentences in length) that answers the following questions:
devlian [24]

Answer:

In my opinion, machines are a threat to humans even though they make our lives easier and we do not have to work as hard to get a task completed the ways in which humans decide to use machines can be a threat not only to other humans but to the environment.

Yes, I do agree with Dr.Hawking that artificial intelligence may one day equip computers with the technology to outsmart humans. Somehow this is kind of what the world is aiming to do which is shocking as most persons are going to be jobless as machines will do their jobs for them. With less humans having jobs poverty is going to strike our land causing people to die from hunger not to mention healthcare and a stable shelter.

Identify the poor word choice and replace it with a word of your own. The sadistic dog chased us all the way home
madreJ [45]
I️ believe the word ‘sadistic’ would be the poor word choice in this sentence.

Some words I’d suggest would be, “Spirited, sprightly, frisky, combative, quarrelsome,”

Hope this helps and good luck :)

Please make sure I'm right or wrong, I think it's D: Which sentence does not contain any errors? A. She could'nt remember which
nydimaria [60]

 A.  is wrong because (could'nt) is not the proper way to write the contraction for 'could not' it should be 'couldn't', also there is no need for the apostrophe after the word, yours it already possessive without the apostrophe.

B.  is wrong because 'couldnt' is not the correct way to write the contraction for 'could not', it's couldn't.

C. She couldn't remember which suitcase was your's. is wrong because you don't need the apostrophe in your's because it possessive is, yours.

The sentence that contains no errors is D. She couldn't remember which suitcase was yours.

Hope this helps. :)
