The word downtrodden in this sentence from section 2 means

English
1 answer:
lorasvet [3.4K]3 years ago
5 0

unfortunate and miserable

 

The best response is the first reply because downtrodden means trampled upon, crushed, depressed.  One way you can help yourself in the future when looking to determine the meaning of a word is to try to replace it with synonyms.  That said, if you replace “downtrodden” with “depressed” or “sad,” the sentence still makes perfect sense.  However, what if you don’t know synonyms?  In that case, try to look at the parts of the word.  For instance, the prefix of “downtrodden” is “down.”  That said, “down” is typically a word associated with “sad.”  Thus, one could make the connection that “downtrodden” is synonymous with “unfortunate” and/or “miserable.”

Laying down in my bed, i’m so sleepy but my mind is wide awake. Tomorrow is Christmas and I couldn’t be more excited, and not the reasons you’d think. Reviving gifts is cool, but I love the feeling of giving. There’s no greater feeling than having ur loved ones receive your gifts! So i’m laying here now, eventually i’ll fall asleep but tomorrow is Christmas and I can’t wait to see all of my families reactions.

Choose one metaphor from this poem and explain why it is a metaphor, what the comparison means, and why you think the author cho
Vinvika [58]

"It is a gold coin dropped

down a drain in Heaven"

The comparison means that it's sort of like a golden coin that someone had dropped down a sink drain on an accident, but someone dropped it down the drain in heaven and it has now landed in the sky of the Earth.

I think the author chose to make this comparison because the sun is yellow and it is sort of a golden color and it is sort of common for things to be dropped down the drain. Therefore, it is like a golden coin going down the drain of heaven and into the sky.

A diver standing on top of a diving platform that is 20 meters above the pool dives off the platform. Describe the transfer of e
boyakko [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

When the diver stands on the platform, at 20 m above the surface of the water, he has some gravitational potential energy, which is given as

E =mgh

where m is the man's mass, g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height above the water. The moment he jumps, the gravitational potential energy starts decreasing, because its height h above the water decreases as well, and he acquires kinetic energy, which is given as

K.E = 1/2mv^2

where v is the velocity of the diver, which is increasing. When he touches the water, all the initial gravitational potential energy has been converted into kinetic energy.

The excerpt from "Let Sleeping Dogs Lie" is about events that took place during the 1960s. Although entertaining, do you think G
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Goines's narrative essay is relevant to readers today because its pacifist (anti-war) message, even though inspired by the Vietnam war, is a universal humanist statement.

Explanation:

Admittedly, today's youth may not be very interested in the particularities of the Vietnam war. However, <u>they could very well relate to civil disobedience, social injustices, as well as the humorous and sarcastic tone that Goines employs when he recounts his resistance to the political establishment</u>. For example, Goines's witty account of tampering with the bureaucracy to delay his conscription for as long as it takes for them to lose his file could be very appealing to today's young rebels at heart. Today, when there are no drafts, young people could have a hard time trying to understand the political intricacies of the 1960s and early 1970s. Still, the urge to resist war, especially when it comes at a cost so great that even the young have to pay it, still exists. This chapter is also relevant because it could help the young reassess or even redefine their definition of patriotism: am I a greater patriot if I go to fight in a war on behalf of my country or if I resist its unreasonable foreign and domestic policies?
