Answer:

Sarah Good was born to a prosperous innkeeper in 1653.However, her father's estate became entangled in litigation leaving Sarah Good in poverty. After the death of her first husband, she married William Good. The Goods lived a life of begging and poverty in Salem Village. Sarah was regarded as an unsavory person and has come to be regarded through literature as the stereotypical witch, a disreputable old hag. Good was among the first three women accused of witchcraft in 1692 and was the first to testify. She never confessed guilt, but, like Tituba,she did accuse Sarah Osburne, an act that was credited with validating the witchcraft trials and accusations. Good was hanged as a witch on Tuesday July 19, 1692,but not until after the imprisonment of her six year old child Dorcas, also accused of witchcraft, and the tragic death of her infant in prison.In February of 1692, Sarah Osborne became one of the first three victims to be accused of witchcraft in Salem Village. As the widow of Robert Prince-a Salem Villager who purchased a 150-acre farm next to his friend Captain John Putnam's, Osborne was required (by Prince's will) to carry-over their estate to their two young sons. However, by attempting to overtake possession of the property for herself and her new husband, Irish immigrant Alexander Osborne, Sarah Osborne upset social norms that consequently resulted in accusations of witchcraft by the Putnam family. She died in prison on May 10, 1692.

likoan [24]

Answer: Where there is smoke there's fire.

Explanation:

An adage is referred to as a wise saying. It's a traditional saying that expresses a truth about a particular thing.

The adage in the story is "Where there is smoke there's fire". This means that there's a rumour about something and therefore there must be some truth about that thing.

Here, the narrator used the adage in explaining that the yogurt may be spoilt and that the sister needs to be careful.

What does the speaker's choice of words such as, vowed, settled, avenged, and impunity show about his emotional state
Wittaler [7]

This question refers to the short story "The Cask of Amontillado", by Edgar Allan Poe. More specifically, it refers to the first paragraph, where the mentioned words can be found:

THE thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge. You, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, that gave utterance to a threat. At length I would be avenged; this was a point definitely, settled --but the very definitiveness with which it was resolved precluded the idea of risk. I must not only punish but punish with impunity. A wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser. It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong.

Answer and Explanation:

The speaker's word choice reveals a lot about his emotional state. He is clearly angry for having been offended by Fortunato, even though he never reveals what the offense was. He has a vengeful feeling toward his "friend", and he is also clearly determined to not only carry out his revenge, but to also remain unpunished. We can also tell that, in spite of his anger, he is able to remain cold, speaking of his murderous decision in tranquil yet decisive tone.

State and explain the types of paragraph patterns in a comprehension passage
dybincka [34]

Answer:

1. Narrative pattern

2. Definition pattern

3. Process pattern

4. Argument pattern

5. Cause and effect pattern

6. Compare and contrast pattern

7. Description pattern

8. Classification pattern

9. Examples pattern.

Explanation:

A paragraph is a collection of sentences that have a central idea.

A paragraph pattern has to do with the way the paragraph is arranged.

Narrative pattern has to do with writing about a central theme in a chronological order. First person pronouns like "My", "I", etc are usually used.

Definition pattern as the name suggests are paragraphs that are written to provide definition of words

Process pattern gives description or instructions on how to perform a particular task. It is usually in chronological order.

Argument pattern is written to sway opinion or to persuade readers about something.

Cause and effect pattern focuses on either a cause or effect of something. For example, when the central idea has a cause, then the supporting points will give the effects of the cause and vice versa.

Compare and contrast pattern deals with comparisons in order to show similarities.

Description pattern simply describes relationship between living and non living things.

Classification pattern simply assigns categories to its structure and is quite similar to compare and contrast.

Examples pattern is used when there is a list of facts or examples to illustrate a point.
