Read this excerpt from "Road to Valley Forge." General George Washington was given command of the newly formed Continental Army

in June 1775. He inherited a diverse group of liberty-loving and independent-minded colonists. He faced the difficult task of transforming them into an army that would fight for a "common defense." The American army also had to match up with the British army, which consisted of professional soldiers. Which of the following quotes from the same article best supports the main idea of the excerpt? "Paul Revere secretly rode out of Boston." "Precision marching and iron discipline marked the most successful armies. Great Britain had one of the best in the Europe." "The Americans took up fortified positions to defend against an expected British attack." "In the 18th century, the army left holding the battlefield after the loser had retreated was the victor."

The correct answer is option number two: "Precision marching and iron discipline marked the most successful armies. Great Britain had one of the best in Europe."

The reason is obvious. George Washington needed to transform his band of  'liberty loving and independent-minded colonists' into a disciplined force that would be a match for the highly trained and regimented British soldiers he would face in battle.

I would like to know what a descriptive quote means? My teacher told me to include one for each character in the characters list
Mariana [72]
A descriptive quote is simply a quote that throughly describes and gives details about a subject or in this case a character.

Without more information on your assignment, my best understanding is that your teacher is looking for a quote from whatever literary piece you are reading that best describes each of the characters.

Symbol Analysis

Obviously she's the main character and a huge part of this poem, but is the Lady of Shalott a major image? Lancelot is almost buried in description, but we hear almost nothing about the Lady herself. Hair color, eyes, height? Those things aren't all crucial, but they'd help us to build a mental picture of our main character. In some ways, it feels like the speaker is trying to hold back an image of the Lady, to make her deliberately hard to imagine.

<span><span>Line 18: The first time we hear her name is as the closing line of the second stanza. We're going to hear the same thing a lot more before the poem is over. The Lady's name is a refrain that the speaker uses over and over. Her name almost starts to hypnotize us, like a magical spell.</span><span>Line 71: Don't worry, we won't take you through all of the spots where the poem talks about the Lady, but we thought this one was worth mentioning. This is the place where the Lady admits her frustration with her life, and says she is "half sick of shadows." While we still don't get an image of her face, we can feel the strength of her personality in this moment, a glimmer of the independence and strong will that is about to blossom.</span><span>Line 153: This is the end of the Lady's transformation, the moment of her death. She has moved from slavery and imprisonment to freedom, but it has cost her everything. Before she sang, now she is quiet. She was warm, now she is frozen. All of these are powerful images of loss and change. Eventually she becomes a sort of statue, a pale shape in a coffin-like boat.</span></span>
