"You'll have a cocktail, Mr. Rainsford," he suggested. The cocktail was surpassingly good; and, Rainsford noted, the table appoi

ntments were of the finest—the linen, the crystal, the silver, the china.
They were eating borsch, the rich, red soup with whipped cream so dear to Russian palates. Half apologetically General Zaroff said, "We do our best to preserve the amenities of civilization here. Please forgive any lapses. We are well off the beaten track, you know. Do you think the champagne has suffered from its long ocean trip?"

The details of this excerpt show that Zaroff wants to appear

civilized.
educated.
helpful.

1. Which of these activities is the best example of cunning?
prohojiy [21]

I think this is right but I'm not sure but I'll try my best

1) D because cunning refers to skill in deceit and trickery, and telling a convincing lie is the only option that involves both skill and deceit.

2) D because to speak to somebody in confidence means that you want to be confident that the information shared is between the group you share confidence with. Nurse wishes to speak to Romeo in confidence that he will not tell anybody because it is a secret and she wishes only for Romeo to know.

3) B because to counter something means to go against that thing. An example is a counter-argument, or an argument against another argument.

4) B because that is the act <em>against</em> someone. All the other options demonstrate a command, but not a <em>countermand, </em>if you get my gist.

5) A (i think) because the decision to get married was an unwise and hasty decision made of young lust, and ulimately caused the great tragedy. If Romeo and Juliet had taken things slower, things might've been possible renegotiated or at least thought over.

6) B because Friar Lawrence is really Romeo's 'father figure' because his father is so often absent in his life. He acts as a mentor and tries to help Romeo get married to his love.

Rasheed accidentally bumped his leg on a
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Rasheed's entire nervous system most likely screamed out in pain.

Explanation:

The nervous system sends out a sort of signal whenever something either hurts you, such as kicking a wall or bumping your head on the ceiling. That signal, thanks to the nervous system, gets sent to your brain that tells it that something is in pain. Once the brain receives that message, it'll let you react based on how you feel about it.

So, in this case, Rasheed just let out a yelp whenever he hit that desk with his leg. <em>Ouch.</em>

Read Fatima’s paragraph.
Roman55 [17]

The sentence Fatima's teacher will most likely ask her to revise is "Having moved up north just last year, I experienced my first snowstorm this past winter."

<h3>What does Fatima need to revise?</h3>

To revise a text, we must pay attention to anything that stands out as lacking cohesion or coherence, any unnecessary repetitions, or any mistakes that may prevent readers from understanding the idea.

After reading Fatima's paragraph, we can see that there is one sentence repeating the same idea about the previous year twice: "Having moved up north just last year, I experienced my first snowstorm this past winter." This sentence sounds too informal, since it is acceptable in colloquial speech to repeat ideas as we talk.

However, written language should be more formal and grammatically accurate. For that reason, it is likely that Fatima's teacher will ask her to revise the sentence above in order to remove the repetition.

With the information above in mind, we can conclude that the first answer choice is the correct option.

This is the complete question with the missing answer choices:

Read Fatima’s paragraph.

Having moved up north just last year, I experienced my first snowstorm this past winter. At first, the snow twirled gently, lightly dusting the street, cars, and trees with snowy frosting. Then, the snow became a curtain, blinding my view so that I felt cocooned from the outside world. When the snow stopped, ice coated the trees and branches clacked like chαttering teeth.

Which sentence will Fatima’s teacher most likely ask her to revise?

  • Having moved up north just last year, I experienced my first snowstorm this past winter.
  • At first, the snow twirled gently, lightly dusting the street, cars, and trees with snowy frosting.
  • Then, the snow became a curtain, blinding my view so that I felt cocooned from the outside world.
