Answer:
I believe that it has its roots in “Pancake Tuesday”. In the old Church, people were required to give up dairy products and eggs for Lent, so they made pancakes on Shrove Tuesday and had a bit of a party before they had to start the 40 day fast of Lent. And back then it was a forty day fast - up until the twentieth century, on most weekdays, you could only have one full meal during Lent, and two snacks that together did not make up a full meal.
Knowing people, since it was their last last of a full meals, eggs, milk, etc. they started turning it into a full fledged party, not just a pancake dinner. And given man’s fallen nature, we tend to overdo things. There were other things which went into the development of Carnival but it started as one last party before the long stretch of Lent.
Answer: C
. The author explains how through parent experiences, standards based grading made information unclear.
Explanation: Based off of the text it seems like the author is explaining through parent experiences how the standard based grading made information unclear. In paragraphs 1 the author starts to go into this by stating, "The report cards in Maryland's biggest school system left parents puzzled. They showed a wide range of elementary school subjects, but the same grade popped up again and again, the perplexing letter 'P' for proficient."(Paragraph 1) Then in paragraph 3 and 4 she explains what she means by this with parent experiences with the confusing report cards, "One mother from Montgomery county counted 80 of them on a fourth-quarter report card with a total of 84 grades. A father said that his children stopped paying attention to the grading reports all together, so unvaried was the marks that filled them"(Paragraph 3) and, "The all-inclusive P," said Cynthia Simson, a Derwood parent and longtime PTA leader who advocated for change." (Paragraph 4).
The first line shows that people were forcefully woken up and were frightened. Then, the third line, with the use of the word lair shows that the character being spoken about could be an antagonist. Finally, the use of the word slaughter shows that the character being spoken of is, indeed not good.

Answer:
They foreshadow Thisbe's death, as they will be one of the elements that allow her to see that Pyramus is dead.
Explanation:
Snow-white berries were the meeting place where Pyramus and Thisbe would meet and flee in order to live the forbidden love between the two. However, they foreshadow Thysbe's death, as it is through the snow-white berries that she sees the blood of Pyramus and realizes that she cannot remain in this world without his presence. In this case, we can understand that snow-white berries are an example of foreshadoing, as they are advancing plot information, subjectively.
