Story : A Dog’s Tale by Mark Twain

1. Using a dog as narrator gives the passage a tone of —

• objectivity
• formality
• bitterness
• humor

2. What literary device is used in the sentence “She had one word which she always kept on hand, and ready, like a life-preserver”?

• Simile
• Metaphor
• Hyperbole
• Onomatopoeia

3. Based on the second paragraph, the word mastiff most likely means —

• a large dog
• a male dog
• a man’s shirt
• a part of a ship

4. According to the author, what would bring such happiness to the dogs as he describes at the end of the story?

• They helped the author’s mother find the words she used, so they especially enjoyed watching her use them.

• They knew the meaning of “supererogation” and realized they were listening to a funny joke.

• Watching and laughing as others were embarrassed vindicated their own previous embarrassment.

• They were generally happy dogs who often expressed a great deal of joy.

5. “A Dog’s Tale” uses the topic of animal communication in order to —
• show how dogs really communicate

• explain how animals learn from humans

• demonstrate that dogs are smarter than most people

• poke fun at human behavior

6. The amount of time that passes during this story is most likely —

• 10 hours

• 10 days

• 10 months

• 10 years

7. An underlying theme in this story is that —

•many people use words without knowing their meanings

• dogs know more than people realize

• family loyalty takes top priority

• strangers are almost always suspicious

8. Since the author used first person, readers are left to wonder —

• how the author felt about his mother

• how strangers reacted to his mother’s word knowledge

• what the author’s mother was thinking

• whether or not the author’s mother knew the meanings of all the words she used

This is what I am supposed to do, I’m confused on what to do on 3,4, and 5. PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!!! 30 POINTS!!!!!

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

To calculate m use the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

3

Using (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 3, 6)

m = $\frac{6-0}{-3-0}$ = $\frac{6}{-3}$ = - 2

Since the line passes through the origin (0, 0) then y- intercept is 0

y = - 2x ← equation of line

4

let (x₁, y₁ ) = (6, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 3)

m = $\frac{3-0}{0-6}$ = $\frac{3}{-6}$ = - $\frac{1}{2}$

note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 3) ⇒ c = 3

y = - $\frac{1}{2}$ x + 3 ← equation of line

5

let (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (-2, - 3)

m = $\frac{-3-3}{-2-0}$ = $\frac{-6}{-2}$ = 3

note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 3) ⇒ c = 3

y = 3x + 3 ← equation of line

Write an equation of a line containing (2, -3) and perpendicular to 3x+4y=14 answer

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the condition of perpendicularity, if two lines must be perpendicular to each other, the product of their gradient rather the slope must be equaled to ( -1 ).

Equation of a line ; y = mx+ c, where m1 is the gradient of the line and c us the point of intersection if the line on the y- axis.therefore, the equation

3x + 4y = 14, when re arranged, now becomes, 4y = -3x + 14, divide through by 4, gives, y = -3x/4 + 14.

Therefore, m1, = -3/4 and m2, = 4/3 going by the condition. Since the line passes through the coordinate of (2,3), where x = 2, and y = -3, then, substitute for x and y in y = mx+ c, minding the m2, to find C, therefore,

-3 = 4/3x2 + c. -3 = 8/3 +c

Multiply through by 3 to make it a linear equation,

-9 = 8 + 3c; -9 - 8 = 3c, -17= 3c

c = -17/3.Now substitute for c in the equation ,y = mx+ c, the equation now becomes, y = 4x/3 - 17/3. Therefore the new equation is

3y = -4x - 17.
