9. True. Standing behind a podium builds more authority than walking about when you speak is True because it shows an expression of power & stability; the podium is a sign that you are 'stable' in money-wise & that no one can mess with you.
10. False. If you speak eloquently (silver-tongued) then you have no problems saying something that is meaningful of great importance.
Just telling in advance, English is not my forte, lol. I'm a math person. :-)
Anyways, what I'm inferring from the poem is this:
The human body, of course, gets older, but usually the mind of an older person is coherent and wise. Yet, the older body has its own "conscientiousness". A consciousness that understands the body's frailty but knows that it can still accomplish tasks it had once before; these tasks are achieved with the patience of a mule but with the intensity of a lion. Rushing or hastening seem to be incomprehensible... Still, the aged body knows more than it begets. Life happens all around yet there isn't a desire to change what happens. Wisdom and experience has seeped in over the years... Aging... An invaluable awareness that affects everything alive wins in the end over the aged body. Nails, hair, and skincare become obsolete. The old body, free from constraints, expresses the validity of its existence with boldness and courage. The wrinked skin and gray hair, impossible to avoid, but difficult to obtain, outshines the youth the body once had. For once, and only once, boundaries don't exist... Only the hope of sharing the struggles and victories that occur in a lifetime, the experiences unique to the aged body... The hope that the aged body can bestow unto others the gloriousness of the aged body.
Hope that helped. Good luck.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
A satire is a statement meant to make fun or mock a particular idea. Hyperbole is intention exaggeration. So, satirical hyperbole is the combination of both. In option B, the writer is trying to disagree and make fun of the curfew idea comparing it to a rainy day, which is obviously not possible.
Answer:
1a. Lines 30-36 show that the man never thought deeply of things. He did not reason beyond the surface of matters and that was why he never thought that the abnormal temperature could be indicative of danger.
1b. These lines are a foreshadowing of the danger or negative consequence the man will face as a result of his inability to use his instincts.
2. (I believe the word should be naturalistic). A naturalistic view of life sees all events in life as natural and not having any spiritual or metaphysical undertones. In lines 5-20, the man had a natural view of the weather condition as being just normal. Also, when the water from the man's mouth became ice, he believed that to be natural and not having any further meaning.
Explanation:
In further explaining how the man regarded 50 degrees below zero, to mean 80 degrees of frost, the author showed that the man did not think deeply about matters. For example, he never reasoned about man's weakness and how fragile he is from his inability to cope with high and very low limits of temperature.
These things never made him think about life and death. These are signs that he might pay dearly for his inability to use his senses.
A benefit of paraphrasing material from one of the sources would be that you can convey the message in a much simpler way than what is in your source. Also, you can easily convey what you had understood from the text you've read. Another would be that you avoid issues of plagiarism.
