Stanza 1
The poet begins by saying, “Nothing” and adds that he has missed nothing as they (teacher and students) realized that he (the absentee) was not there and hence they were sitting quietly for two hours. with their hands on the desks. It is a kind of sarcastic answer.

Stanza 2
In the next stanza, the teacher’s anger comes out. He tells the absentee that he taught the lessons which covered 40% of the term syllabus and also assigned the students a quiz which is worth 50% of the term paper’s marks.

Stanza 3
The tone again shifts to sarcasm. According to the teacher, he (student) missed nothing as the course has no values or meaning. So he should remain absent as all the activities that take place in the class have no purpose for himself as well as for the absentee.

Stanza 4
In the 4th stanza, the poet says that shortly after he began teaching an angel just appeared that told about the ways to attain wisdom for the life and also that this is the last class after which they will have to spread the good news to the world.This stanza is a satire on the religious faiths like Christian and Jewish religious practices and beliefs. It was believed that angels descend from the sky to impart knowledge to the clergy who afterwards spread that message (good news) to the commoners.

Stanza 5
The tone again reverts to sarcastic. the teacher asks the student how anything can happen in the class without him (student) being present there.

Stanza 6
In the final stanza, the teacher says that the classroom is a world full of human experiences which were assembled for him (student) to grab, examine and understand. It was an opportunity which he has lost now.

First add the whole numbers.
Then find the LCM (least common multiple) of 3 and 2, which are the denominators of both fractions. In this case, the LCM of 3 and 2 are 6.
As you can see in the photo, I multiplied a number than can result in 6 in both denominators. Then multiply that same number to the numerators.
Finally, add 21+2, but keep the denominator as 6.
This is how I learned it, hope it helps.

A. How do the men react to<br><br> Okonkwo's harsh words towards<br><br> Osugo? [RL 10.6)
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

In the story, Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe,

In Chapter 4, in the scenario wherein Okonkwo belittled a man who contradicted what he says, he threw hard and harsh words at the man named Osugo. This Okonkwo's attitude was seen and witnessed by the men in the clan present in the Kindred meeting and it does not please them, yet they are shocked and did not allow Okonkwo to act like that, as they took side with Osugo.

Explanation:

Why?

In Chapter Four (4) of the story Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, Okonkwo, the main character in the story has encountered a man named Osugo. It is during a kindred meeting wherein Okonkwo belittled those members of the clan who were less successful. Osugo, one of those less fortunate men, can't stand the rudeness and harshness of Okonkwo and speak against him. Though Osugo acknowledges the successful life of Okonkwo which he achieved through hard work and patience, in his perspective, it is not enough to embarrass and degrade people who are not his level.

Therefore, Okonkwo with his pride, spoken saying "This meeting is for men" which implies that he humiliates Osugo as not a man and not should be in the clan. This attitude of Okonkwo struck and upset people, especially the men who heard the humiliation. The men reacted taking the side of the other man Osugo. In short, they stand against Okonkwo's attitude, and the oldest man take part reminding Okonkwo to not forget to be humble despite of his success.

Read the excerpt from "Ellis Island.”
motikmotik

Answer:

A. Immigrants were diagnosed with a disease.

Explanation:

In this passage, we learn that immigrants were held at Ellis Island while they were physically examined. If the doctors found a person had a communicable disease, they were hospitalized in the island. This means that the immediate cause of hospitalization was being diagnosed with a disease. This was most likely a measure that fulfilled two purposes. On the one hand, it provided treatment to sick people. On the other hand, it tried to prevent the spread of contagious diseases to the population at large.
