Part A

English
2 answers:
Olegator [25]3 years ago

Answer:

Part A- He is trying to trick Ben.

Part B- "Tom gave up the brush with reluctance in his face, but alacrity in his heart."

Explanation:

Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" revolves around the story of a young boy named Tom Sawyer and his adventures along the river Mississippi. The story follows a mischievous Tom, playing or fooling his Aunt Polly, his friends, and also includes his half-brother Sid.

In the chapter "The Glorious Whitewasher", Tom was made to paint the fence while his friends were enjoying their day. Though reluctant to whitewash the fence, he had no means to escape the work. So, he reluctantly worked on that, when along came Ben Rogers. Tom fooled Ben into doing his work by saying ‘whitewashing isn't work’, asking <em>"Does a boy get a chance to whitewash a fence every day?"</em> This changed Ben's opinion of the work.

But when Ben asked to do the work, Tom refused, though that was all part of the plan. He would trick Ben into doing the work, and also in exchange for his apple. The use of the word <em>"reluctance"</em> showed Tom's refusal to let Ben do the work but deep inside, he was happy to be relieved of it, with the narrator using the word <em>"alacrity"</em> in the same sentence.

Thus, the correct answers are

<u><em>Part A- He is trying to trick Ben. </em></u>

<u><em>Part B- "Tom gave up the brush with reluctance in his face, but alacrity in his heart."</em></u>

<h2>Part A: Option B) He is trying to trick Ben</h2>

The Evidence is shown and explained in part B of the question.

<h2>Part B: Option D)  "Tom gave up the brush with reluctance in his face, but alacrity in his heart. "</h2>

Reluctance means 'unwillingness or disinclination to do something', which means that Tom is making it look like he doesn't want to give the brush to him, but with alacrity in his heart which means cheerfulness.

Which statement is an example of logos that might be used in an argument?
Sergio [31]

Answer:

Answer: B.

The statement that best exemplifies logos is option B. Logos refers to an argument that is based on logic and evidence. In this case, the best example is B, because it provides a falsifiable fact. It tells us that Denver receives an average of 57 inches of snow every year. This is logical evidence that can be useful when we want to develop a compelling argument.

Some stuff about the Euphrates Rivers
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

The Euphrates is the longest and one of the most historically important rivers of Western Asia. Together with the Tigris, it is one of the two defining rivers of Mesopotamia.

Explanation:

The Euphrates is important solely for its water supply. The river is the source of political tension, as Turkey, Syria and Iraq all compete for the use of its waters for irrigation and the generation of hydroelectric power. For centuries the river formed the east limit of Roman control. “There is no water!” The Euphrates is drying up. Strangled by the water policies of Iraq's neighbors, Turkey and Syria; a two-year drought; and years of misuse by Iraq and its farmers, the river is significantly smaller than it was just a few years ago. Some officials worry that it could soon be half of what it is now.

If you really don't understand something, put it aside and wait until the test or the final exam true or false
Fiesta28 [93]
False. If you wait until the test or final exam you wouldn't have learned anything. If you ask someone for help or try to learn how to do something then you have a greater chance of learning something.
