Answer:
His hair was as black as coal, yet as soft as silk. Skin as smooth as porcelain glass. His eyes were like two icy pools, looking like diamonds in the sunlight. His name was Ajax. Like a prince, nonetheless. Yet he was a fierce and mighty, despite his good looks. His people had developed a wary respect of him.
And when he spoke, his voice held a thick ascent that was like caramel dripping from a spoon. Ajax was known for his guile and confidence. The way his his eyes surveyed his surroundings was proof of this. He was indeed, very cautious. Underneath his swagger, there was a dangerous man indeed. Ajax, although respected, was feared. He was known to get his way. And when he spoke, people acted.
Wherever he walked, he held his head high with determined steps. His gaze was powerful enough to make you feel like he was staring straight inside your soul. He was no coward; he never backed down from a fight. And yet, he was wise, so very wise that even a priest would seem ignorant beside him.
Answer:
The only option that is CORRECT according to the use of the Simple Present Tense is letter B. She cooks dinner once a week.
Explanation:
In English, the Simple Present Tense is used to express habitual actions or universal truths. The rules are quite simple:
- for most persons of speech, we do not alter the verb. We simply drop the "to" that indicates the verb is not conjugated, and add the subject before the verb: to cook - I cook; you cook; we cook; they cook.
- for the third person singular (he, she, it), the verbs will be slightly altered. Most verbs will have an -s added to their endings. Verbs ending in -s, -sh, -ch, -o, -x, or -z will have -es added to them. Verbs ending in a consonant followed by -y will drop the -y and have -ies added. Study the examples: she cooks; he goes; it flies.
Having those rules in mind, we can see that letter B is the only correct option. It conjugates the verb correctly, in accordance to the third person "she". Letters A and D present an incomplete form of the Present Continuous Tense, and Letter C conjugates the verb in the singular while subject is plural.

Answer:
The author says that "The Raven" is an example of narrative poetry because it contains interesting characters that add drama and suspense to the narrative.
Explanation:
The Raven is the most famous poem by Edgar Allan Poe. When it was first published on January 29, 1845, it brought him worldwide fame.
The poet talks about losing his love, Leonore. That loss is colored by mysticism, because the narrator feels fear when he is visited by a mysterious raven, who often repeats the words "never again". The poem can also be said to be grotesque; there are a large number of scenes in the poem that are deeply psychologically described. The poet asks the raven questions about his beloved again, hoping that he will give him any more positive answer, except for the many times repeated "never again". However, everything that the poet felt when he saw the black bird was in him before, and the raven only helped everything to come out of it. We know nothing about how Lenora perished; the motif of losing a loved one without explaining its cause often appears in Poe's poems.
