Based on the 1925 serum run to Nome
Describe what made the terrain around Nome perilous? How did this contribute to the heroism of the dog teams?
Answer:
Located in the Alaskan tundra, the route to Nome crossed a 5000-foot mountain peak and the unstable ice of Norton Sound, ill-famed for breaking under pressure. Furthermore, the sea was frozen for seven months during the winter, meaning that dog sleds were the only way of transportation at the time. In addition to that, the “Great Race of Mercy” happened in the middle of a great storm.
Explanation:
All of these elements made the five days journey to get the serum required to save Nome (which should have taken a month) that much more heroic.
Answer:
1. She assumes that the reader wants a "not yappy" and large(60+ pound) dog
2. She states that they "present problems that smaller dogs avoid".
3. The author worries about the dog's lifetime, travel hassle, reach, and strength.
4. The author's ideal dog is one that lives long, is easy to take places, can't reach up on countertops, and is not strong enough to pull during walks.
Explanation:
Not much to explain. The writer seems to be very biased towards dogs. :)
Answer: B) as a result
Explanation:
The meaning of the phrase "in consequence" is "as a result."
If something happens first, and something else happens afterwards in consequence, it happens as a result of the first event.
In this particular example, a man has lost his mind because of an event that is not mentioned, and has not been sane since then. His insanity is, therefore, a result (or a consequence) of that event. We can assume that the person described a traumatic event that the man experienced, and the other person replied with a question:<em> "And he lost his mind in consequence?"
</em>
Answer:
I can't see the statements so I can't give a definite answer. However, think of it this way: We know the statement needs to add to the idea that insects are dangerous. So you need to chose the option that presents insects in a negative light or gives a specific reason to fear them. A neutral or positive fact about insects would not support the idea.
1. “The Gettysburg Address” by Abraham Lincoln is remarkable through the use of rhetorical devices like allusion, antithesis, and tricolon.
2.This is a simile because MLK Jr. is comparing Justice rolling down LIKE water. He is also comparing righteousness like a mighty stream.
The impact of figurative language is to show the idea that everyone should be free.
The figurative language gives visual picture on what desegregation would look like.
Figurative Language in Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Speech
"Let Freedom Ring"
"Let freedom ring" is a repetition because "Let freedom ring" is repeated throughout the speech.
In Loving Memory:
This means that Justice will be like a mighty stream and will be everywhere.
"Let Freedom Ring" means let freedom be everywhere.
