Evening and quiet: a bird trills in the poplar trees behind the house with the dark green door across the road. 5 Into the sky,

the red earthenware and the galvanised iron chimneys thrust their cowls. The hoot of the steamers on the Thames is plain. No wind; 10 the trees merge, green with green; a car whirs by; footsteps and voices take their pitch in the key of dusk, far-off and near, subdued. 15 Solid and square to the world the houses stand, their windows blocked with venetian blinds. Nothing will move them. 2 How does the author use setting to convey a sense of isolation from others? A. By describing the evening as quiet B. By describing the greenness of the trees C. By describing how the houses act as barricades D. By describing how the chimneys rise into the sky

Answer:

C - By describing how the houses act as barricades

Explanation:

"(...)Solid and square to the world the houses stand, their windows blocked with venetian blinds. Nothing will move them (...)".

"Nothing will move them" means that nothing could ever penetrate those houses. Not the sound of cars nor the voices.

The houses stand alone, solid and square, with windows blocked. You can't get in or out, you are trapped, you are alone.

Good manners and good morals are sworn friends and fast allies.” – C.A. Bartol Bartol’s quote reveals the preoccupation with man
ch4aika [34]

According to the given question and statement, the appropriate thesis statement will be as follows: "Today's youth lack the manners that the previous generation did."

The self is the foundation of morality. While some behaviours can be recognised as improper or immoral by oneself, other filters can only be acquired through one's environment. The younger generations are indeed becoming more rude. It is also true that their morality is influenced by the situation of the world at the time this occurs.

Although it would be grave injustice to generalise that all children and youngsters lack morals and manners, the overall trend would undoubtedly indicate that there has been a significant drop among many of them.

Family values have drastically changed over the past few decades, resulting in a generation of rebellious teenagers and young children that lack morality and manners due to inadequate upbringing. When it comes to manners, young people used to be very aware of the older generation. Giving up a seat on the bus, saying "please" and "thank you," and holding open doors were all regarded as polite behaviour. Nowadays, the majority of people live in a "me-first" world, which is reflected in many young people.

Therefore, If good manners are instilled in children at a young age, they will typically remain a part of their personality well into adulthood. Without a doubt, the environment found in the house is a reflection of the lack of manners seen in society as a whole. It is conceivable that the children will badly lack in manners if there is no parental example and no training in this area.

What was the significance of the presidential election 1876
Kisachek [45]
The presidential election of 1876 led to the end of Reconstruction. Samuel Tilden outpolled Rutherford Hayes to win the popular vote. Tilden had 184 electoral votes to Hayes' 165 and 20 votes were uncounted. These 20 electoral votes were in dispute: in Florida, Louisiana, and South Carolina. Each party reported its candidate had won the state, while in Oregon one elector was declared illegal and replaced. The 20 disputed electoral votes were eventually awarded to Hayes after a bitter legal and political battle. This gave Hayes the victory.
