It's easy to _____ what someone is saying when you're not listening carefully.

Write a letter as a Redcoat in the 1770s (or anytime during the revolutionary war) & be a little dramatic.

Daniel [21]

Answer:

Dear mum,

It's been so long, and my feet are tired. These filthy rebellious pigs think they can win their independence, and I find that rather hilarious. Their tactics are unorthodox and these battles get very messy. Oh dear, this war is absolutely horrid, I long for some freshly brewed tea. These inexperienced marksmen taking part of such a pitiful militia have to stand in the kings way along with these savages they teamed up with, absolutely distasteful. Me and my brothers shall advance and restore order for Great Britain.

Love,

Tom

Why does the author include information about the dry climate?

just olya [345]

Answer:

C) To explain why people in the region have to feed their animals fish

Explanation:

The given question refers to an excerpt from <em>The Travels of Marco Polo</em><em>:</em>

And let me tell you something else. They have sheep here that have no ears, nor even ear-holes; but in the place where ears ought to be they have little horns. They are small creatures and very pretty. And here is something else that may strike you as marvelous: their domestic animals—sheep, oxen, camels, and little ponies—are fed on fish. They are reduced to this diet because in all this country and in all the surrounding regions there is no grass; but it is the driest place in the world.

The options you were given are the following:

A) to explain why sheep have horns but no ears

B) to explain why sheep in the region are so small

C) to explain why people in the region have to feed their animals fish

D) why there are such large quantities of fish available

The correct answer is C. Sheep feed on grass. The climate of the described region is so dry that there is no more grass, so sheep no longer have anything to eat. Instead of letting them die, the people began feeding them fish. The rest of the options are not consequences of the dry climate.

kompoz [17]

Answer:

These twenty-six men show remarkable strength throughout the book, especially the twelve that survived the desert. The sun burns your skin in this desert and the peaks are pointy and scary. There are deadly animals and creatures lurking at night and water is nowhere to be found. These men had a lot of fortitude to survive this ordeal.

koban [17]

Answer:

32 Cook Town,

Bengaluru.

25th March 2021

Dear sir/ madam,

My name is Sohini, and I am a volunteer member of "Apna Sapna NGO" As a volunteer, I offer my services to a government school in the neighborhood. This letter aims to raise awareness about the despicable condition of the school. Also, suggest methods to improve it.

The school's roof is damaged. It has holes on it, and water or birds enter through these holes. When it rains, the students can not have the class, and when birds enter the classroom, they get distracted very easily. Besides, small ceiling pieces are falling on the heads of teachers and students. This can be very dangerous since a portion of the ceiling could fall and kill someone.

Another unacceptable condition of the school is its dirtiness. The bathrooms, cafeteria, and some classrooms have a horrid smell. Besides, there is litter accumulated in the bins for weeks. This lack of disinfection and cleaning can attract rats, cockroaches, or illnesses in the students and teachers.

To solve these problems and give these kids the education that they deserve, it would be a good idea to organize a festival to raise money to repair the school or ask big companies to donate money. Concerning the school's cleaning, the school could create a cleaning project where they teach kids to keep the school clean and have groups to do different cleaning tasks every day.

I hope that you could help the school by publishing an article about it.

Yours faithfully.

Sohini.

Explanation:

In a letter to an editor, we should use the formal language since we do not know the person. Also, we should ask in a polite way for things.

In the first paragraph, we introduce ourselves and why we are writing.

In the following paragraphs, we describe the school's problems. We can also use one paragraph for all the problems instead of multiple ones.

In the fourth paragraph, we write methods and suggestions to improve the school.

Lastly, we write a closing line, and we finish with the phrase yours faithfully since we do not know the reader's name. If we know the reader's name, we start the letter with dear and the name and end it with regards, or sincerely.

Which three lines in this excerpt from “Because I Could Not Stop for Death” by Emily Dickinson use caesura? We passed the School

Ray Of Light [21]

The lines that use caesura in this excerpt from Emily Dickinson's "Because I Could Not Stop for Death" are the following:

We passed the School, where Children strove At Recess—in the Ring— We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain— We passed the Setting Sun— Or rather

The use of caesura in this poem marks the pace of the reader and the I of the poem. The pace and the mood of the poem is calm due to these caesura, the pauses and she has no haste.
