English

Answer:

The sentence that uses the word improbable correctly is:

C. It is highly improbable that James will make it to class today; he has food poisoning.

Explanation:

"Improbable" is an adjective that means something is not likely to happen or to be true. But, in options A and B, "improbable" was used as a noun and as a verb, respectively. It also makes no sense to use "improbable" in the contexts given in each sentence. We can, thus, eliminate both options. Letter C, however, is correct. The word is used as it is supposed to, and it makes sense when inserted in the context - it is very unlikely that James will make it to class today.

Answer:

D: he is brave ​

Explanation:

The excerpt is from "The Masque of the Red Death" by Edgar Allan Poe. The story depicts the "The Red Death", a lethal disease that plagues Prince Prospero's kingdom. Throughout the text, Prince Prospero is depicted as an arrogant, selfish, dauntless and fearless man who only cares about protecting himself and the elites of his kingdom.

<em>"The Red Death, a bloody disease that kills a man rapidly with a seizure and bleeding from the pores, is terrorizing the country. </em><em>But Prince Prospero is unaffected. </em><em>Though his people are dying by the hour, he gathers his friends and his knights and shuts himself away in an ornate abbey, which he designed himself. "</em>

In the current excerpt, the words,<em> "Prince Prospero, maddening with rage and the shame of his own momentary cowardice." and "He bore aloft a drawn dagger, and had approached, in rapid impetuosity, to within three of four feet of the retreating figure." </em>convey that although Prince Prospero's authority and determination have been severely challenged by the Red Death, he willfully draws a dagger and decides to confront the figure.

Analyze this passage from Henry IV, Part One.I know you all, and will awhile uphold The unyoked humor of your idleness; Yet here
suter [353]

In these lines, we see what Harry's objective is in hanging out with people who are not particularly desirable. He tells us that the only reason why he hangs out with lowly people and behaves in an unadmirable way is because he wants to create contrast between his present behaviour and his much more restrained future. He believes that, if he acts extremely irresponsibly now, then it will seem all the more impressive to everyone when he changes his ways and decides to be a proper, responsible king.
