I just took a Post Test and it had different excerpts to chose from, but here are the answers to the one on the post test if anyone is looking for them...

"He shrank from touching..."----->Wealth Worship

"I judged that there was going to be a crash..."-----> Impending Doom

"It scared me broad awake..."-----> Impending Doom

"Well, you can imagine how it was with a young fellow..."----> Rags To Riches

"He said he hoped wasn't afraid to trust..."-----> Wealth Worship

These are all correct on the post test... NOT FOR THIS QUESTION.

1. The fact had gone all abroad that the foreign crank who carried million-pound bills in his vest pocket was the patron saint of [Harris' eating-house]. That was enough.

The excerpt refers to an enterprise that was once poor and struggling and has now become popular and flowing with costumers, refering it went form poor to rich or from rags to riches.

2. When the crash should come, he might somehow be able to save me from total destruction; I didn't know how, but he might think of a way, maybe. - Answer: Impending doom. The author states that a crash will come and affect him, thus representing a feeling of impending doom.

3.

The author refers to his poor economic situation as he is deep in debt and has now money ("<em>Not a cent in the world </em>"). He further claims his salary would never materialize, implying he would like to be wealthy.

4. Why, it isn't six months since you were clerking away for Blake Hopkins in Frisco on a salary, and sitting up nights on an extra allowance, helping me arrange and verify the Gould and Curry Extension papers and statistics. The idea of your being in London, and a vast millionaire, and a colossal celebrity! - Answer: Rags to riches. The author writes about how the person he refers to was once working on only a salary, going through night shifts to earn an extra allowance and now has become a "<em>vast millionare"</em> in London.

5. Please get those things off, sir, and throw them in the fire. Do me the favor to put on this shirt and this suit; it's just the thing, the very thing--plain, rich, modest, and just ducally nobby. - Answer: Wealth worship. The author is asking of a person to throw his clothing into the fire and wear apparel that would likely make him look wealthy.

PLEASE HELP!! IM STUCK! I will give you 25 points!
diamong [38]

Answer:

A year ago I wrote this same type of essay, I'm going to give you pointers.

Explanation:

1: The deer population on Komodo island is decreasing due to poachers. The effect of the decreasing Deer Population means less food for the Dragons

2: The villagers are currently facing problems with the Komodo dragons both of their livestock being attacked and their own children being attacked as well. In fact a villager commented: "Today is a goat, tomorrow is a child".

3: These problems can be easily fixed. The government can help stop poaching on deers. Secondly, a petition for the villagers to allow feeding the Komodo to stop them from going after their livestock and children has been requested. Lastly, a dragon-proof fence has also been requested by the villagers but has been denied by the Nature Conservancy.

Hope this helped!

Which sentence refers to the reality of Farquhar ‘s situation in the dream sequence in section 3 of “An occurrence at Owl Creek
Eddi Din [679]
In Ambrose Bierce's short story, "An Event at Owl River Scaffold," Peyton Farquhar is a mainstay of the American South, which, amid the period being referred to, the Common War, can be generally meant mean a well off, upstanding native of the Alliance, and an adversary of the abolitionist development. At a very early stage in his story, Bierce gives the accompanying depiction of his hero who, in the story's opening sections, is going to be executed by hanging:  

"The man who was occupied with being hanged was evidently around thirty-five years old. He was a non military personnel, on the off chance that one may judge from his propensity, which was that of a grower. . .Obviously this was no obscene professional killer." 

Bierce goes ahead to develop his depiction of Peyton Farquhar, taking note of that this figure "was a well to do grower, of an old and exceedingly regarded Alabama family," and that, being "a slave proprietor and like other slave proprietors a legislator, he was normally a unique secessionist and vigorously committed toward the Southern reason." Bierce takes note of that Farquhar imagined himself at one point as an officer in the reason for the Alliance, however one whose military interests were hindered for reasons that are incidental to the account. 

In area II of his story, Bierce gives foundation to clarify Farquhar's difficulty as referenced in the account's opening sections, portraying the primary hero's experience with a dark clad trooper, probably a Confederate warrior battling on an indistinguishable side of this contention from that to which Farquhar's sensitivities lie. It is soon uncovered, be that as it may, that this dim clad trooper is with the Association and has basically set-up the well-to-do southerner as an assumed saboteur. The "Government scout" does this by planting in the psyche of Farquhar the proposal of setting flame to the Owl Brook connect, a key structure vital to the development of Association troops as they progress over the South: 

The fighter reflected. "I was there a month prior," he answered. "I watched that the surge of the previous winter had stopped an incredible amount of driftwood against the wooden dock at this finish of the extension. It is presently dry and would consume like tinder." 

<span>The response to the inquiry - why was Peyton Farquhar hanged - lies in this recommendation negatively offered by the Government spy. Farquhar takes the draw, as it were, and endeavors to cut off the tie to keep its misuse by northern troopers.</span>
