Margarita [4]

Answer:

The correct answer is: <em>Sevastopol Sketches</em>.

Explanation:

<em>Sevastopol Sketches</em> was Leo Tolstoy's book of fiction which describes his time serving in the Crimean war. It contains three short stories published in 1855 to describe his experience during the Siege of Sevastopol (1854-1855). The name originates from Sevastopol, a city in Crimea where Tolstoy and his military unit were located during the siege.  

Names of the stories are: <em>Sevastopol in December, Sevastopol in May and Sevastopol in August </em>.

In these stories Tolstoy examines the senselessness and vanity of war, describes enemies, examines psychological aspects of war, and describes the eventual defeat of the Russian forces.

These stories formed the basis of many of the episodes in Tolstoy's novel <em>War and Peace</em>.

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mary was fleeing from the robber. She was running through the ally evading the man who was trying to exploit her. Mary kept looking over her sholder trying to gauge when he would catch her. Suddenly the ally opened onto the street. She saw a cop who seemed engrossed in his donut. She ran to his car and pounded on his window. He oppened his door and steped out. He saw the man run out of the ally. The man stoped and took in the scene. He knew that if he kept running it was a given that the cop would capture him. The man turned and ran back into the ally. Mary was safe.

Why does the poet compare the job of cleaning to an elephant? A. to show that cleaning the room will be a huge task. B. to show
irinina [24]

Answer:

A. to show that cleaning the room will be a huge task.

Explanation:

         We do not know what poem this is referring to, but this poet uses a simile or metaphor. This is a type of figurative language and is not meant to be "taken literally." This rules out options C and D because there is not an <em>actual</em> elephant.

         While B could still be an answer, the narrator could have cleaned up their room once before without it feeling like a big task. Since they chose to compare it to an elephant specifically, we can guess that the answer will be "A. to show that cleaning the room will be a huge task."
