S_A_V [24]

Answer:

5 films.

Explanation:

Let us first express the amount of money, both member and nonmember will pay depending on the number of films they see.

Member will pay thirty dollars plus $1.95 for each film, which can be written as:

$30 + $1.95 • x

Nonmember will pay $7.95 for every film he sees, which can be written as:

$7.95 • x

Since it is given that they to pay the same amount, that means:

$30 + $1.95 • x = $7.95 • x

Now, let's find x:

$30 = $7.95 • x - $1.95 • x

$30 = $6 • x

x = 5

So, member and nonmember will have to see 5 films each in order to pay the same amount.

Read the excerpt from The Odyssey. My home is on the peaked sea-mark of Ithaca under Mount Neion's wind-blown robe of leaves, in

Veseljchak [2.6K]

This question is missing the options. I've found them online. They are the following:

What key detail should be added to strengthen the student’s paraphrasing of this excerpt?

A) Dulichium, Same, and Zacynthus are all visible to Ithaca.

B) Odysseus holds his home very close to his heart.

C) The islands surrounding Ithaca lie to the east and the south.

D) Ithaca lies under Mount Neion and to the northwest.

Answer:

The detail that should be added to strengthen the paraphrasing is:

B) Odysseus holds his home very close to his heart.

Explanation:

A paraphrase consists of rewording something that was said by someone else. That is, we say the exact same thing but with different words. Thus, to strengthen the student's paraphrase in this case, we must look for the idea that is missing.

In the original excerpt, Odysseus talks of Ithaca's geographic location, the fact that it is a good place "for a boy's training", and the fact that the island is a place he loves:

I shall not see on earth a place more dear.

However, the student's paraphrase has left out this last idea. To make it more complete, we should add that Odysseus holds his home very close to his heart.

choli [55]

Answer:

3. The excerpt is an example of situational irony, as Jim has sold the watch for which Della bought a chain.

Explanation:

Irony is the use of language in such a way that the intended meaning of the words is expressed through the use of another opposite expression or words. This rhetorical device presents a situation as something but what the reality is, is a much different thing.

In the given excerpt from O Henry's short story The Gift of the Magi, the scene is that of situational irony. Situational irony occurs when the expected outcome is not what happened but rather the opposite happens. Likewise, the scene is a situational irony for both the characters of Jim and Della wanted to please each other with their gifts. But both ended up selling the very thing that the other person has bought the gift for. Della sold her hair to buy a watch chain for Jim while Jim sold his watch to buy an ornamental comb for Della's hair. 

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
