Read the passage from Hans Christian Andersen’s "The Princess and the Pea."Once upon a time there was a prince who wanted to mar

ry a princess; but she would have to be a real princess. He travelled all over the world to find one, but nowhere could he get what he wanted. There were princesses enough, but it was difficult to find out whether they were real ones. There was always something about them that was not as it should be. So he came home again and was sad, for he would have liked very much to have a real princess.One evening a terrible storm came on; there was thunder and lightning, and the rain poured down in torrents. Suddenly a knocking was heard at the city gate, and the old king went to open it.It was a princess standing out there in front of the gate. But, good gracious! What a sight the rain and the wind had made her look. The water ran down from her hair and clothes; it ran down into the toes of her shoes and out again at the heels. And yet she said that she was a real princess."Well, we’ll soon find that out," thought the old queen. But she said nothing, went into the bed-room, took all the bedding off the bedstead, and laid a pea on the bottom; then she took twenty mattresses and laid them on the pea, and then twenty eider-down beds on top of the mattresses.Which quotation from the passage best supports the theme that looks can be deceiving?

This question has the passage, but not the options with the specific quotations. I've found them online. They are the following:

Which quotation from the passage best supports the theme that looks can be deceiving?

A. "Once upon a time there was a prince who wanted to marry a princess; but she would have to be a real princess."

B. "There were princesses enough, but it was difficult to find out whether they were real ones. . . . So he came home again and was sad."

C. "One evening a terrible storm came on; there was thunder and lightning, and the rain poured down in torrents."

D. "The water ran down from her hair and clothes; it ran down into the toes of her shoes and out again at the heels."

Answer:

The quotation that best supports the theme that looks can be deceiving is:

D. "The water ran down from her hair and clothes; it ran down into the toes of her shoes and out again at the heels."

Explanation:

The princess who showed up at the prince's door does not look like a princess at all. The stereotypical image of a princess is pristine, flawless. This one is soaking wet, her hair and clothes most likely unkempt and dirty. However, this look is quite deceiving. Even though she does not look like one, she is indeed a real princess. That is what the queen finds out after having her sleep on top of twenty mattresses and twenty eider-beds. Princesses are sensitive, and this one is so much so that she was able to feel the lump of a pea that was under all those mattresses and eider-beds.

Answer:

A. The United States did not have any women astronauts until 1978; however, the Soviet Union sent a woman into space in 1963.

Explanation:

The United States did not have any women astronauts until 1978; however, the Soviet Union sent a woman into space in 1963.

Explanation:

In grammar, the semicolon (;) is a punctuation mark used to introduce pauses or breaks between different sections of a sentence or between different sentences. According to grammar rules, this punctuation mark should be included to separate two independent clauses, which are clauses that express a complete idea; to separate items in a list if these are long or have inner punctuation and before adverbs that link two independent clauses such as moreover, otherwise, therefore or however.

This means in the case of the sentence "The United States did not have any women astronauts until 1978 however, the Soviet Union sent a woman into space in 1963" a semicolon should be added before the word "however", not only because this is a conjunctive adverb but because this sentence contains two independent clauses that need to be separated by a semicolon. Therefore the sentence that shows the correct use of the semicolon is "The United States did not have any women astronauts until 1978; however, the Soviet Union sent a woman into space in 1963".

If war broke out, might it be unlikely that fighting would happen in Britain?
BabaBlast [244]
I think it would be likely.  Britain is a country that is well-developed and has a decent military.  If you are referring to war in London or other big cities, I think the armies would try to keep warfare on the battlefield, not urban areas.  However, to counter that, (correct me if I'm wrong), I believe London is on the water, so a type of naval invasion would be likely.  It also depends on who the fighters are.  Britain v. U.S.A. for example, evacuations of cities would begin, and it's likely we'd see another Refugee Crisis like the one happening now in Europe, but smaller.  But the U.K is part of the U.N., a huge group of unified countries.  If war were to break out, it's likely forces would be pushed out easily with the help of other powers/countries.

1. Read the following passage from "The Happy Man."
Alecsey [184]
1. The answer is A.<span> Hyperbole

Hyperbole is a stylistic element in prose and poetry that involves the use of exaggerated claims that are not literal in meaning. Hyperbole is useful in creating a dramatic effect when the writer is trying to explain a phenomenon or feeling to the reader. For instance, in the passage above the sentence, "</span><span>His heart was overflowing with love for people, animals, and things and with an all-engulfing sense of optimism and joy" involves the use of exaggeration and non-literal claims to paint a picture of a "happy man" to the reader. 

2. The correct answer is </span><span>B. Symbols generally have only one meaning.

Literary symbols such as figures of speech, metaphors, alliteration, etc., enhance the meaning of a text, adding a dramatic effect when discussing characters, objects and situations. They do not have only one meaning. While literary symbols usually have a primary intended meaning for the reader, they have multiple meanings subject to the reader's interpretations of the text. </span><span>
