-------- you please hold the door open for me? *

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

or

Explanation: a linking verb is like an equal sign so you would look in the sentence for things that seem like an equal sign

The dog seems really ill: he won't eat or drink anything at all.

seem is at the beginning of the sentence therefore it cant be it

won't cant be it either because its still at the beginning of it and yo can see its an main part of the sentence

or links the end to the beginning of the sentence therefore its correct

Please help me for composition about angsi mountain

sertanlavr [38]

I was recently interviewed by a local publication that features a person who has had a defining moment in his/her life, a milestone moment which led to change in his/her perspective/lifestyle/goals. I described the moment when I went on my first mountain climb in 2012 as part of a spiritual climb that changed my life and started my love for the outdoors. I did it with my son in darkness, nothing distracting me except for the stars above. Every step was a prayer, every breath a worship.

2015 did not exactly get off to a good start as I had faced the first few days of the new year mourning the loss of a family member. I thought that it was a good opportunity for me to spend some time back into the arms of nature, contemplating life and some reflections to set the year ahead straight – just like my very first climb.

Explain how beginning the story with the dialogue between Rainsford and Whitney contributes to both the authors characterization

Zanzabum

Answer and explanation:

Rainsford and Whitney are characters in Richard Connell's short story "The Most Dangerous Game". They are both hunters who are traveling in a yatch. During their dialog, they begin to discuss the way the game (the prey) feels when it is being hunted. Whitney has empathy for the game, thinking animals can at least understand fear. Rainsford, on the other hand, has no empathy whatsoever. He sees the world as divided into those who hunt and those who are hunted. He seems himself as lucky for being the one who hunts. See the dialog below:

"The best sport in the world," agreed Rainsford.

"For the hunter," amended Whitney. "Not for the jaguar."

"Don't talk rot, Whitney," said Rainsford. "You're a big-game hunter, not a philosopher. Who cares how a jaguar feels?"

"Perhaps the jaguar does," observed Whitney.

"Bah! They've no understanding."

"Even so, I rather think they understand one thing--fear. The fear of pain and the fear of death."

"Nonsense," laughed Rainsford. "This hot weather is making you soft, Whitney. Be a realist. The world is made up of two classes--the hunters and the huntees. Luckily, you and I are hunters. Do you think we've passed that island yet?"

If the above part of the dialog helps us understand Rainsford arrogance, the second part helps characterize the story's mood. Their yatch is now passing by an island that is famous for being evil. The mood of the story becomes suspenseful and mysterious:

"I can't tell in the dark. I hope so."

"Why? " asked Rainsford.

"The place has a reputation--a bad one."

"Cannibals?" suggested Rainsford.

"Hardly. Even cannibals wouldn't live in such a God-forsaken place. But it's gotten into sailor lore, somehow. Didn't you notice that the crew's nerves seemed a bit jumpy today?"

"They were a bit strange, now you mention it. Even Captain Nielsen--"

"Yes, even that tough-minded old Swede, who'd go up to the devil himself and ask him for a light. Those fishy blue eyes held a look I never saw there before. All I could get out of him was 'This place has an evil name among seafaring men, sir.' Then he said to me, very gravely, 'Don't you feel anything?'--as if the air about us was actually poisonous. Now, you mustn't laugh when I tell you this--I did feel something like a sudden chill.

"There was no breeze. The sea was as flat as a plate-glass window. We were drawing near the island then. What I felt was a--a mental chill; a sort of sudden dread."

"Pure imagination," said Rainsford.

"One superstitious sailor can taint the whole ship's company with his fear."

It turns out that Rainsford will fall from the yatch and end up on the island, where he will be hunted by General Zaroff as if he were an animal.

Which of the following is a theme from Romeo and Juliet? (10 points)

viva [34]

Answer:

Using deception to get what you want is risky.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Ju liet" was and is still one of the most tragic yet romantic stories that present the theme of love. It presents the loyal and faithful love of the two lovebirds who chose love over their family's feud, choosing their happiness over that of the family's.

But despite the ever-enduring and powerful influence of love on a person, it also presents a fateful side of this type of love. While it was so romantic and powerful for Romeo and Ju liet to cling to their love and not let their family problem come in the way, they still did wrong in deceiving their families about the way they carried on with their love. And through their deceptive act of hiding their marriage and love from their respective families, their families (nonetheless unaware of the events) moved forward with their own plans. This ended tragically for both lovers, which is why deception is a risky and possibly wrong way of getting things done.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
