Answer:

We get to do some time-traveling in this poem. Lowell jumps around frequently and without warning. We begin in South Boston at the aquarium that's been closed and boarded up for what seems like a long time.

Then we move back in time with the speaker to when he used to visit the aquarium and gawk at the fish. When he snaps out of that daydream, he recalls a more recent past ("last March" specifically) when he witnessed the construction of what would become an underground parking garage. Included in that same scene is the Civil War memorial for Colonel Shaw (we'll get to him in detail later), and his all-black infantry.

Then Lowell sneakily segues into a little info about the Civil War, and later, the dedication at the memorial. He stays more or less on the track for a handful of stanzas: he talks about how New England continues to remember the Civil War in graveyards and tattered flags, but how that memory is diminishing.

Then he sort of pops back into the present, with a somewhat critical eye. He talks about World War II and how there are no commemorative statues for that war. To wrap up, he winds the image of Colonel Shaw and the old aquarium's fish together, and sort of superimposes them over slow-moving traffic in present-day Boston.

The word that most closely means "dainty or squeamish" is _____________.
Molodets [167]

Answer:

Fastidious

Explanation:

Words from the same language that have the same or similar meanings are called synonyms. In this case, we are looking for synonyms of the words dainty/squeamish.

The word <em>dainty</em> means of<em> delicate taste, easily disgusted.</em>

If someone is squeamish, they are easily upset, shocked, or disgusted by things they find unpleasant or don't approve of.

The word with the similar meaning is<em> </em><em>fastidious</em><em>,</em> meaning <em>paying attention to small details and wanting everything to be correct and perfect</em>, or <em>having high standards, difficult to please</em>. In dictionaries, it is often listed as a synonym of <em>dainty.</em>

The rest of the words don't have similar meanings.

A vixen is a female fox.

If something is cryptic, it is mysterious.

<em>Mortified</em> means extremely<em> embarrassed.</em>

zlopas [31]

Answer:

Absurd.

Explanation:

The tone in a text or passage refers to the attitude or opinion of the author presented in the text. This tone can be understood or known through the use of certain words in the text, which can make readers get or understand what the author's tone is regarding the text.

In the given passage, the author talks about how mall culture is affecting Americans. But the word that best tells us the tone of the passage is the use of the word<em> "absurd"</em> which makes the author's opinion clear. Through this word, we can know that the author thinks the opinion of people about Americans and their mall culture is absurd.

Thus, the correct answer is absurd.

Burka [1]

Answer:

1.one eat ( should be a type of animal/maybe a rat)

2.foet should be feet

3.I and Fred -> Fred and I, or me and Fred, the first is more correct though

4.had wenr -> was missing, was gone. had dissapeared. so many better options

5. The final sentence can be fixed in numerous ways, though I'd rephrase to something like this : Fred was missing, and there were less gerbils in the cage.

6.Amanda's pet-sitting business was going well she was now taking care of two dogs, one eat, and several gerbils. <- This sentence could also be updated. into this -> 6.Amanda's pet-sitting business was going well! She was now taking care of two dogs, one [fix], and several gerbils. <- This sentence could also be updated.

7.If the first 3 words cannot be changed ignore this. but I would get rid of "LOST" as well

8."I and Fred will get along just fine<em>,</em><em>"</em><em> </em><em>add</em><em> </em><em>comma</em>

9. Rephrase this sentence, "Amanda found the tank lid off the next morning when she got up." -> "When Amanda got up the next morning, she found the tank lid off."

Explanation:

Missing Boa! LOST <em>Amanda's pet-sitting business was going well she was now taking care of two dogs, one eat, and several gerbils. </em>It didn't seem to be a problem when Jose asked her to watch his cobra, Fred. Fred was two <em>foet</em> in length and spotted. "<em>I and Fred</em> will get along just fine" she said. Fred curled up in the corner of his tank and went to sleep. <em>Amanda found the tank lid off the next morning when she got up</em>. Fred <em>had went</em>. <em>Also, there seemed to be fewer gerbils in the next cage.</em> (PET BOA CONSTRICTOR 10 FEET LONG, BROWN & WHITE SPOTS. VERY FOND OF SMALL RODENTS IF FOUND, CONTACT AMANDAS PET-SITTING SERVICE. 555-3678 FRED Amanda has tacked up a poster to advertise for Jose's missing snake.)
