Which word from the beginning of Simon Wheeler's story lets readers know his dialect is not as refined as the narrator's?
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

We can see this when he uses words like "solitry" and "Thish-yer".

Explanation:

This question is about "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County".

The narrator of the story, although maintaining a simple language, presents a formal diction, with polite words and absence of slang and colloquialism. This narrator presents an educated and cultured tone through the words he uses, in contrast to Simon Wheeler, who is less sophisticated when using colloquial words, slang and a more popular and informal diction. This can be seen through the words "solitry" and "Thish-yer"

Read this excerpt from Rudyard Kipling's novel Kim in which Kim responds to the lama's questions. Then complete the sentences th
lakkis [162]

The correct answer for the first question: The lama is looking for "The River of the Arrow" because would be option 1. "He thinks he will be purified spiritually when he finds it". This is showed in the excerpt when the lama says "By it one attains freedom from the Wheel of things", meaning he wants to be free of his sins and thinks the river is going to help him achieve it. He does not give a reference as to god being the reason he wants to find the river therefore options 2,3 and 4 are incorrect.  

The correct answer for the second question: The excerpt shows that would be option 3. "Kim is eager to show the lama he does not know where the river is located". This is shown in the excerpt when he repeatedly says that he does not know the location, for example " If I knew, think you I would not cry it aloud?". Option 1, 2 and 4 are incorrect because Kim does not appear under the lama's spell, he does listen to him, and has not expressed an interest in the river's powers.

AfilCa [17]

Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, nor did you present the answer options, which makes it impossible for your question to be answered. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

The tone of a text refers to the feeling that the author of a text wants the reader to feel at the moment he is doing the reading. This tone promotes an atmosphere that intensifies the theme that the author is addressing. In this case, the author can promote a happy tone to reinforce the idea of achievements, progress, happiness, among other happy situations, as well as a sad tone to reinforce pessimism and defeat, a surprised tone to reinforce suspense and so on.

Read the following passage and answer the question. My children, latest generation born from Cadmus, why are you sitting here wi
12345 [234]

The excerpt comes from the  story of the timeless "House of Thebes", this tells the story of  the Phoenician princess Europa and how she was carried off over the sea by a bull. Her father, Agenor, commanded his sons, including Cadmus, to find her. They all failed in their attempt, and while his brothers went on to found colonies of their own, Cadmus went to Delphi where the oracle told him to give up the search, to find a cow with special markings, follow it, and found a city where the cow would stop to rest.

The line that best support the inference that Oedipus is a proud man is:

I, Oedipus, whose fame all men acknowledge.
