Answer:

AABCCD

Explanation:

Edgar Allen Poe's poem "Eldorado" talks of a knight who journeys through<em> "sunshine ... and shadow</em>", looking for the lost paradise city of Eldorado. The poem is a similar theme of looking for the lost city and how it has caught the interest of many explorers.

The rhymes scheme of a poem refers to the way the words are used in each line of a poem. In the given lines taken from the third stanza of the poem, the rhyme scheme is AABCCD.

Considering the lines of the poem,

<em>And, as his </em><u><em>strength</em></u><em> (A) </em>

<em>Failed him at </em><u><em>length</em></u><em>, (A) </em>

<em>He met a pilgrim </em><u><em>shadow</em></u><em>— (B) </em>

<em>‘Shadow,’ said </em><u><em>he</em></u><em>, (C) </em>

<em>‘Where can it </em><u><em>be</em></u><em>— (C) </em>

<em>This land of </em><u><em>Eldorado</em></u><em>?’ (D)</em>

the end word in the first line is "strength", with the same rhyme as "length". So, if we put "A" as the symbol for the first rhyming words, then "shadow" can be put as "B" and "he" and "be" of the third and fourth lines can be written as C. Likewise, "Eldorado" is put as "D".

Thus, the sequence comes as AABCCD.

maks197457 [2]

“They scrambled to their places by the rowlocks / and all in line dipped oars in the gray sea” (Homer 6-7).

In-text MLA citations should include the author's last name and page number when available. The citation must be after the quotation, but outside of the quoted text. The citation should be in parenthesis and not include a comma between the author's last name and page number. The comma is extraneous. In order to make it clear that the parenthetical citation belongs to the quoted text and not the sentence following, there needs to be a comma after the citation - not before.

Jack crouched, staring forward, with his face only a few inches away. 

The two boys had jogged down the beach and turned from the water's edge, back towards the pink mountain. Ralph frowned as a trickle of smoke floated in a line across the sky.

Hunters were shouting from beyond the platform, on the end, was Piggy. He  was lying down, staring down at the brilliant wanter.

Simon was always darkish in color when he was burned by the sun. It left a deep tan that glistened with sweat.

Simon paused and looked over his shoulder just as Jack had done. He glanced swiftly, just to confirm to himself that he was utterly alone.

What is strange about Zaroffs reply when rainsford says he doesn’t feel good
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

The strange thing about Zaroff's reply is that he thinks that Rainsford is sickened by his long swim before he arrived, however, we know that he is sickened by the thought of Zaroff's library of heads he has mounted and the idea of the "game" he has created.

Explanation:

Before Rainsford excuses himself, Zaroff invites Rainsford to view his collection of heads of men that he has hunted. When Rainsford claims that he is not feeling well, Zaroff's thinks that he is tired from the swim when in reality, he is sickened by Zaroff's horrifying "game" he has created. The point is: it does not enter Zaroff's mind that Rainsford might be sickened at Zaroff's custom of hunting humans.
