Answer:

An enslaved man believes a talking cooter will help him gain his freedom.

Explanation:

1. It’s never stated or implied that Jim and the cooter are friends.

3. Jim is leading the slaveowner to the cooter. This does not imply that the cooter wants to meet Jim, nor does it state such directly.

4. It’s stated that Jim is already a dreamer. It never says Jim is a talking cooter.

As for why the answer I gave is right, it’s because that’s what the majority of the passage is about. The second sentence states it directly, despite some minor differences in phrasing, and the rest of the passage discusses Jim trying to use the talking cooter to get freed. Hope it helps :)

Decribe three traits of sea snakes that make them well-suited to living underwater.
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Sea snakes have flattened tails for swimming, allowing them to swim faster than if they had the tail of a regular snake. The flat shape of the tail reduces drag, as well as providing a larger surface to push the water with. However, this makes moving on land difficult. They also have valves over their nostrils that close underwater. This prevents water from entering their nose as they swim. Sea snakes have very strong venom that they use to kill their prey. They also produce an enzyme that starts digesting the animal as soon as it takes the first bite. Their diet consists of mostly fish, crustaceans, and eggs. The venom and enzyme results in little room for their prey to escape, making it easier for the sea snake to sustain itself.

hope this helps.

1. What does Walter learn about himself in this conversation?
hjlf
As Mama’s only son, Ruth’s defiant husband, Travis’s caring father, and Beneatha’s belligerent brother, Walter serves as both protagonist and antagonist of the play. The plot revolves around him and the actions that he takes, and his character evolves the most during the course of the play. Most of his actions and mistakes hurt the family greatly, but his belated rise to manhood makes him a sort of hero in the last scene.

Throughout the play, Walter provides an everyman perspective of the mid-twentieth-century Black male. He is the typical man of the family who struggles to support it and who tries to discover new, better schemes to secure its economic prosperity. Difficulties and barriers that obstruct his and his family’s progress to attain that prosperity constantly frustrate Walter. He believes that money will solve all of their problems, but he is rarely successful with money.
