Answer: Two character traits that the narrator demonstrates are <u>insanity</u> and <u>paranoia.</u>
Explanation:
In this short story written by Edgar Alan Poe, the narrator wants to assure us that he is sane, although he has committed a murder. However, it very soon becomes clear to the readers that he is <u>insane</u>. He is obsessed with his roommate's evil eye, which is why he kills him:
<em>"I undid it just so much that a single thin ray fell upon the vulture eye … but I found the eye always closed; and so it was impossible to do the work; for it was not the old man who vexed me, but his Evil Eye."</em>
After killing his roommate, the narrator chops him up. He, however, becomes <u>paranoid</u>, convinced that the dead man's heart is still beating. When the police arrives, he hears a heart beat, and assumes that they can hear it too. He believes that they know his secret and thus confesses to the police:
<em>"Almighty God! --no, no! They heard! --they suspected! --they knew! --they were making a mockery of my horror!-this I thought, and this I think. But anything was better than this agony! Anything was more tolerable than this derision!"</em>
Answer:
A) The problem of pollution has been vastly overstated and is likely to decrease over time.
Explanation:
The author of the given passage expresses his concern about the effects pollution has on us and our environment. He tells us about how it occurs and how damaging it is, mentioning phenomena such as acid rain. He also tells us about how we can reduce pollution - by driving bicycles instead of cars, recycling, etc.
The statement that best expresses the perspective opposite of this one is statement A. The author doesn't think that the problem of pollution is overstated and that it's likely to decrease over time. He is concerned and wants us to know that we must do something to contribute to the reduction of pollution. The rest of the statements only confirm what he is saying.
Answer:
Dear sir or madam,
This letter aims to express my views about global warming and what we should do about it.
Global warming is affecting our planet in ways that we have never imagined. There are floods, hurricanes, droughts, and extreme weather conditions. They affect our economy and the life of millions of people. Cities are destroyed, harvests are lost, and people die due to the different consequences that this generates.
We all must take care of our planet since it is the only one that we have. To stop global warming, we should buy products that do not harm the Earth. Also, we should reduce the emission of toxic gasses, and lastly, we should reduce our carbon footprint.
Global warming is dangerous. If we do not act now, the consequences will be worse. We all should do our part to stop it.
Yours faithfully,
Ankita.
Explanation:
A letter has three parts:
- Introduction: This is the first paragraph. In this section, we address our readers and introduce the letter's topic.
- Body: it can have multiple paragraphs. In this case, it has two, the first one describes how global warming affects our planet, and the second one tells the reader what we should do about it.
- Closing Paragraph: In this part, we should write a closing sentence and say our goodbyes.
In this case, as it is a letter to a newspaper, we should use formal language.
Answer:
Nope
Explanation:
You need to capitalize it, and you can't go wrong with adding them into the resources viewed section, but they do not need to be capitalized. Some people do capitalize, but that is optional, as you will notice that people do not italicize it often (or more often) than it is italicized.
