Atticus’ statement “ Jem’s definitions are very nearly accurate sometimes” (28) is meant to create what tone?

English

aksik [14]3 years ago

Answer:

The statement on the part of Atticus that "Jem's definitions are very nearly accurate sometimes" is meant to set a playful tone because earlier Jem had said that entailment meant getting your tail stuck in a crack.  

Explanation:

The word entailment is significant in this part of the story because it means that Mr. Cunningham could not just sell his property to get cash and pay his debts. He might have a farm, but he does not have to right to sell it a large part of it and dispose of the money as he wishes.  Therefore Walter and his father are poor, and kind of "stuck in a crack" when it comes to affording to take a lunch to school like Miss Caroline expects.

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

D. Jeremiah wants to join the soccer program.

Explanation:

<em>Outcast United </em>by Warren St. John tells the story of Luma al-Mufleh, a Jordanian national who came to the United States to escape her country's strict regulations on girls. Later, she would become a soccer coach for the Fugees, a football club she founded for the refugee kids in and around Clarkston, Georgia.

The given excerpt is about the Ziaty family who had come from Liberia to escape the civil war. But due to her inability to feel safe, the mother Beatrice Ziaty ordered her kids to not venture out of the house ever. So, the three kids were all cooped up in the house all day. The start of the football program excites the kids, especially Jeremiah who was eager to be part of the free program. Moreover, he was eager to be going out of the house to do what he loves best. Thus, we can conclude that Jeremiah wants to be part of the soccer program.
