I've read the book or story and since there are no answer choices, I'm gonna just tell you what I think ok. The man is hitting the narrator on the head with an umbrella because he feels the need to, and soon the narrator learns that he can't live without it. The moral of the story is basically teaching a lesson
I think the casket is a symbol of death and it is also a symbol of cruelty of the narrator that he took Doodle to see it and touch it to emphasize that they thought he was going to die so needed to be brought face to face with it.

Answer: Choice D</h3>
...he that was strongest secured the best place; and few left the trough satisfied
============================================================
Explanation:
Frederick Douglass is describing the horrific conditions of what kind of food he ate and the conditions in which he had his meals. At the start of the paragraph, he describes the food itself (a corn meal called Mush). Then later on he describes how the food was served in a very degrading inhumane way (the food being served in a trough; effectively treating them as animals). Shortly after, he goes over how the food was eaten through a variety of means: use of oyster shells, shingles, or bare hands. None of which involves the regular utensils you'd expect such as a spoon.
At the very end of the excerpt, Frederick Douglass mentions that "He that ate the fastest got most; he was strongest secured the best place; and few left the trough satisfied". This effectively means that even though the food itself was horrible, and the conditions degrading, people were still hungry and had no other choice. Also, even the people who were able to eat the most weren't truly/fully fed.
So in short, the last part of the excerpt describes that the slaves weren't fed enough. If we could narrow down the cited evidence as much as possible, the portion that mentions "few left the trough satisfied" is the thing you should focus on.
Answer:
Giles Core is characterized as
1. A foolish man- Indirect Characterization
2. A courageous man- Direct Characterization.
Explanation:
The Crucible tells the story of a man named Giles Corey who voluntarily offered a piece of information that would cause people to suspect his wife as a witch. He mentioned that when his wife read a book, he found it hard to pray but hen she stopped reading the book, he could then pray. This made people suspect his wife to be a witch. Through his actions, the author indirectly characerized him as a foolish man.
He tried to correct that impression when instead of giving the name of a man suspected to be wizard, he rather chose to die. The author through this description directly characterized him as a hero.
Answer:
OA. A parent is usually wiser than a child, and logic is not always the best way to solve a problem.
Explanation:
In the given passage, the problem of who gets the last apple or how to equally distribute the fruit so as not to anger anyone in the central conflict. While Tim insisted that he deserves it as Karen already had the last orange, Karen believes she should have the last apple considering she's hungrier than Tim.
With the mother's intervention, there is a probable solution to that dilemma. Thus, not only did the mother gave a solution for the problem, but she also brings out the theme of how adults, parents are usually wiser than children and that applying logic is not always a sure way of solving a problem.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
