PLEASE HELP ME IT'S DUE TODAY. The Mysterious Box "This is the last box," Samuel called as he entered the foyer of his new home.

He carried the heavy box down the hallway to the kitchen where he found his mother, father, and sister unpacking various gadgets. Samuel's family had sold their previous home and moved into this old Victorian–style house so his father could work at the local hospital. Samuel didn't relish the idea of moving at first, but now he thought this might not be such a bad place to call home. Additionally, school didn't start for another month, so Samuel and his sister, Catherine, would have time to explore their new neighborhood and meet other kids. After Samuel placed the cardboard box on the kitchen counter, his mother rushed over and started inspecting it. "This box contains your great–grandmother's wedding china," Mom explained as she opened it. "These dishes are very old and fragile, so I hope they survived the move. "While his mother carefully examined each piece of china, Samuel asked his father what needed to be accomplished next. "Well, you and Catherine can take the boxes of winter clothes up to the attic after lunch," Dad said as he put spices and canned goods away in the pantry. "We'll also need to see if the previous owners left anything behind and clear it out. "Catherine let out a groan at the thought of spending the afternoon cleaning the attic. "Come on, Catherine," Samuel said with a smile. "Clearing out the attic might be fun! You never know what treasures might be hidden in this old house. Catherine replied, "You've got your head in the clouds if you think we'll discover hidden treasures in this place. I think we're more likely to find a bunch of clutter. "After lunch, Samuel and Catherine hauled several boxes to one of the guest rooms, where they could access the stairs to the attic. The attic was hot, and Catherine immediately felt like leaving the cramped space. They deposited the boxes in one corner of the large attic and then looked around to see what had been left behind. Catherine let out a dramatic sigh when she reached the opposite end of the attic where several cardboard boxes were piled against the wall. Unfortunately, they would need to go through them all to see what was inside. Samuel found a box of old books that were in good condition and could be taken to the local library. Catherine's mood improved immensely after finding a trunk filled with outdated clothes. Samuel could not keep a straight face when he saw her donning a hideous floral scarf and an enormous feathered hat. The clothes were spotless, so Catherine decided to donate them to the high school's drama department.
How does the author's use of the word "treasure" help the reader understand the characters' feelings about the contents of the mysterious box?
A. It shows that Samuel thought the box contained actual expensive treasure.
B. It shows that the old photographs and letters in the box were priceless possessions to Ms. Reynolds.
C. It explains that Samuel and Catherine returned a box worth a lot of money.
D. It shows that Ms. Reynolds offered a cash reward to Samuel and Catherine for returning such a valuable possession.

Which word is not derived from implere?
natka813 [3]
Hi, the correct answer would be D - satiate. All of the remaining examples are derived from Latin root (im)plere: "comply" from "complere" (fill up, fulfill), "implement" from "implere (fill up), "replete" from "re" + "plere" (fill). Only "satiate" derives from "satis", meaning "enough".

Which of the four major types of conflict best describes a situation discussed in in “The Gift of The Magi”
DedPeter [7]
There are four major types of conflict in a story: character versus self, character versus character, character versus society, and character versus nature. In this story, one might argue that the main conflict exists between Della Dillingham and herself (character vs. self) because she agonizes over what to get for her husband, Jim, for Christmas, as well as how to pay for it. She's only been able to save $1.87, and she is heartbroken that she will not be able to get him the kind of gift she feels he deserves: something of which he can be proud. Della wrestles a bit with herself, hence the conflict, eventually deciding to sell her hair in order to have enough money for such a gift.

One might also argue that the main conflict takes place between Della and Jim (character vs. character). Remember that conflict doesn't necessarily mean that one side is good, a hero, and one side is evil, a villain. To be an antagonist in literature means that one is an opposing force, an instrument of plot development, and perhaps an agent of change on the part of the protagonist. In the end, both Della and Jim have sold their most prized possessions in order to purchase something nice for the other, and those sales have rendered the gifts they receive essentially unusable.
