Following are the three section in the excerpt provided, that compare the salesman to the Devil:
1. First is the short phrase: "Impious wretch!"This is because Impous means paying less respect to God and the Devil dislikes the Deity.
2. Second statement is: "He sprang ... me; his tri-forked like thing at ... heart." This is considerable sentence because the tri-forked sceptre is what the Devil always carries.
3. The final statement that suggests the comparison is: "still travels ... storm-time, ... drives ... brave trade ... fears of individuals." This sentence is an allusion of the trade of soul which is vastly described and talked about by many literary artists in the history of mankind.
<u>Answer:</u>
The best way for the author to combine sentences 7 and 8 is
B: Insulated boxes can help keep warm food warm and cold food cold; although some foods need to be refrigerated or heated to kill germs that cause food poisoning.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Punctuation is very important in writing. It is very important for better understanding of the writing and it makes writing more appealing to the reader.
Whenever there is a contrast being shown between two clauses in a sentence, we use although. As a rule, there must be a comma before although. If there is another independent clause being introduced as second part of the sentence, we use a semicolon before that. The second part of the sentence “some foods need to be refrigerated or heated to kill germs that cause food poisoning” is an independent clause which can act as standalone sentence. So, option B is the correct option to choose.
These are swapped: explicit meaning is what the text says outright with no need for interpretation, and inferred meaning is what the text implies.

“Bernice Bobs Her Hair” is largely a discussion of the value of femininity, and of what society expects of a young woman in 1920s America. Nearly every character in this story, major or minor, holds some opinion on the matter—and both Bernice and Marjorie evaluate themselves against the traditional feminine standard, to different conclusions. Fitzgerald uses this very difference to underscore the struggle that teenage girls faced in 1920: that is, being forced to define themselves as a demographic while lacking the maturity to do so in a healthy way. The older model of femininity, represented by Marjorie’s mother, Mrs. Harvey, values women who are delicate, quiet, and marriage-minded. By the 1920s, this approach had become useless in preparing young women for the world. However, the new model that Marjorie represents—aiming to shock, amuse, and allure as many boys as possible—tends to reward only personalities like hers, and offers only shallow rewards at that. Bernice can find no comfortable place between these two extremes, and both sides threaten unpleasant consequences if she fails to conform. Ultimately, Fitzgerald doesn’t propose a solution to this problem, but shows, in Bernice, the impossibility of perfectly conforming to society’s standards of femininity.
