Answer:

The house is not enchanted nor does the landlady possess magical powers.

Explanation:

Roald Dahl's short story "The Landlady" revolves around the story of Billy Weaver and his encounter with a strange landlady in whose "Bed and Breakfast" he was staying. The story ends unresolved, leading the readers to imagine for themselves what really happened in the end.

Billy Weaver had arrived at Bath for the first time to start his job. As he doesn't know anyone, he decided to stay in a hotel for the time being. While looking for a reasonable place to stay, he came upon a small sign that says<em> "Bed and Breakfast"</em>. And he was hooked as if some strange spell was pulling him towards the place. Even the landlady seemed to have been expecting him, for she opened the door right after it rang.

There seems to be no indication that the place was enchanted. But at the same time, there are certain elements that seem to suggest to that. the narrator reveals <em>"his eye was caught and held in the most peculiar manner by the small notice that was there. BED AND BREAKFAST."</em> He continues, <em>"Each word was like a large black eye staring at him through the glass, holding him, compelling him, forcing him to stay where he was and not to walk away from that house." </em>But this doesn't prove that the place is enchanted.

Moreover, the landlady doesn't have any magical powers, rather she was a killer.

Which sentence is a claim that is both arguable and defensible?
4vir4ik [10]

The correct answer is B.

The solution to the stray cat problem is aggressive spay and neuter policies. This claim is both arguable and defensible because you can defend the claim by using documented spay and neuter policies saying that they work but you can also argue the claim by using the documented spay and neuter policies saying that they don't work.

The repetition of a vowel sound on unstressed syllables in a series of adjacent or nearby words is alliteration.

False, it isn't that because alliteration doesn't mean that.

To paraphrase is to reword information so that it still says what was said but in a whole different way through your own words.

Example, you go on this really trustworthy website and you plan on just copying and pasting but which is not allowed, that would be plagiarism... Don't plagiarize, instead read the information and take out the main points and reword it.

Read the excerpt from “George Washington.”
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

The central idea in this excerpt is:

As a young man, Washington participated in land surveying and fought in the military.

Explanation:

The reasons behind this are that the rest of the options only talk of one event of the mentioned. While this option speaks about both of them, signaling that when he was young he surveyed lands and the fought into the French and Indian war. Without focusing and one, unlike the rest. Thus, this is our correct answer. The rest focused on details and lost the chance to speak of the general idea because they provided complementary information instead of a general perspective.
