Story : A Dog’s Tale by Mark Twain
1. Using a dog as narrator gives the passage a tone of —
• objectivity
• formality
• bitterness
• humor
2. What literary device is used in the sentence “She had one word which she always kept on hand, and ready, like a life-preserver”?
• Simile
• Metaphor
• Hyperbole
• Onomatopoeia
3. Based on the second paragraph, the word mastiff most likely means —
• a large dog
• a male dog
• a man’s shirt
• a part of a ship
4. According to the author, what would bring such happiness to the dogs as he describes at the end of the story?
• They helped the author’s mother find the words she used, so they especially enjoyed watching her use them.
• They knew the meaning of “supererogation” and realized they were listening to a funny joke.
• Watching and laughing as others were embarrassed vindicated their own previous embarrassment.
• They were generally happy dogs who often expressed a great deal of joy.
5. “A Dog’s Tale” uses the topic of animal communication in order to —
• show how dogs really communicate
• explain how animals learn from humans
• demonstrate that dogs are smarter than most people
• poke fun at human behavior
6. The amount of time that passes during this story is most likely —
• 10 hours
• 10 days
• 10 months
• 10 years
7. An underlying theme in this story is that —
•many people use words without knowing their meanings
• dogs know more than people realize
• family loyalty takes top priority
• strangers are almost always suspicious
8. Since the author used first person, readers are left to wonder —
• how the author felt about his mother
• how strangers reacted to his mother’s word knowledge
• what the author’s mother was thinking
• whether or not the author’s mother knew the meanings of all the words she used
The first term, a, is 2. The common ratio, r, is 4. Thus,
a_(n+1) = 2(4)^(n).
Check: What's the first term? Let n=1. Then we get 2(4)^1, or 8. Is that correct? No.
Try this instead:
a_(n) = a_0*4^(n-1). Is this correct? Seeking the first term (n=1), does this formula produce 2? 2*4^0 = 2*1 = 2. YES.
The desired explicit formula is a_(n) = a_0*4^(n-1), where n begins at 1.
The answer is 6.6 or if you wanted it rounded 7 hope that helped have a good day and always good luck
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given
m cups of water = p cups of rice
Required
Cups of water required for p + 2 cups of rice
<em>The question shows a direct proportion between cups of rice and cups of water.</em>
<em>So, the first step is to get the proportionality constant (k)</em>
<em />
This is calculated using the following expression;

Where k represents cups of water and p represents cups of rice
Make k the subject of formula

Let x represents cups of water when cups of rice becomes p + 2;
k becomes:

Equate both expressions of k; to give

Multiply both sides by p + 2




<em>Hence, the expression that represents the cups of water needed is </em>
<em></em>
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Subtract 21 from both sides</u>



<u>Step 2: Divide 8 from both sides</u>
