Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Peeta is detrimental for the squad and the operation because he is emotionally unstable and can trigger a potential failure in the squad's plan. HE has also been programmed to react to certain stimulus and he was delivered back to make them fail.

Explanation:

The reasons behind my answer are that Peet has been under psychological experimentation to kill Katnees, he has shown it so far in the story and the compromises the squads' mission because the squad doesn't really know he stimulus that is going to drive Peeta behavior.

How can you change the sentence below from a negative statement to a positive statement? Choose the best revision.
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

D. The city can choose to get rid of benefits now that proposition 3 has passed.

Explanation:

The other answer choices simply seem more negative than D. The option of "choice" gives the statement a mild sense of optimism, which can make you think that this can easily be resolved. It's the most neutral, unlike the other choices that continue to just put down the city's decision with negative words like "shouldn't", "can't", and "isn't".

B. monopoly

Since that company bas almost all of the long phone service, it means that the company is a monopoly because it has exclusive control over phone service in general. There's little competition, so the company can do almost anything it wants to (even raise prices they charge their customers).

Read this excerpt from "The tell-tale heart" by Edgar Allan Poe. Then fill the blanks in the paragraphs that follows.
Lorico [155]

Answer:

A character vs self

The exposition

Explanation:

The options you were given are the following:

  • A character vs self
  • A character vs nature
  • A character vs society

  • The exposition
  • The climax
  • The falling action
  • The resolution

<em>The Tell-Tale Heart</em> is a short story written by Edgar Allan Poe. It's told from the perspective of an unnamed narrator who is trying to convince the readers of his sanity while describing a murder he committed. He murdered an old man with a pale blue <em>vulture-eye. </em>After the murder, he begins hearing a thumping sound, which he interprets as the dead man's beating heart. The sound terrifies him and leads him to confess what he has done to officers.

The given passage is the beginning of the story, which means that it's the exposition. It introduces the characters and the conflict. In literature, there are two basic types of conflict:

  • Internal conflict - a character struggles with their own opposing desires or beliefs.
  • External conflict - a character struggles with an outside force, such as another character, nature, or society.

Here, we have an example of an inner (character vs self) conflict. The narrator tells us that the old man never wronged him and that he even loved him. However, he feels the need to murder him, as he explains it, because of his pale blue eye of a vulture, and decides to do that.
