What do these lines suggest about the narrator? He is disappointed that his gifts are not appreciated. He wishes he had not give
Vinvika [58]

This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Read the following passage and answer the question.

I verily believe that buttoning himself up in so downy and blanket – like a coat had a pernicious effect upon him; upon the same principle that too much oats are bad for horses. In fact, precisely as a rash, restive horse is said to feel his oats, so Turkey felt his coat. It made him insolent. He was a man whom prosperity harmed.

What do these lines suggest about the narrator?

a) He is disappointed that his gifts are not appreciated.

b) He wishes he had not given away his favorite coat.

c) He worries that his employees are suffering.

d) He feels that people should be content with what they have.

Answer:

These lines suggest:

d) He feels that people should be content with what they have.

Explanation:

In the passage we are analyzing, the narrator is visibly criticizing someone for "feeling his coat," making a pun out of the expression "to feel his oats." <u>The person he is criticizing changed while wearing what seems to be a fancy coat. This transformation is disappointing to the narrator. It shows that that person is probably greedy. Instead of being happy with what he has, Turkey seems to want more and, when he does get some more, he changes, becomes "insolent". That is clearly something that bothers the narrator.</u>

What does Rainsford do after his "mancatcher" fails?
igomit [66]

Answer:

 

The correct option is A) Runs

Rainsford runs after he discovers that the "mancatcher" failed.

Explanation:

He had been on the run from General Zaroff a hunter per excellence who was very great at spotting difficult trails. A bored hunter who had pretty much exhausted his excitement with hunting animals had turned to hunt men. His excuse? animals only had instinct...men had reason and were much more challenging to hunt.

In the story, he challenges and coerces Rainsford into a hunting game where he must either escape or be killed. The General would have lost if by midnight the third day he had not killed or hunted down Rainsford.

Rainsford, on the other hand, was also a great hunter was doing all he could to stay alive. In the sentence above, he had set several traps. The one referenced above is called "Mancatcher". It was meant for the general but failed to get him. It, however, cut down Ivan - one of the General's most valuable assets. Upon discovery that the "mancatcher" missed the general Rainsford jumped down from the tree and ran into the forest.

Cheers!

Schools should teach kids how to cook<br><br> is this topic debatable? Explain your response.
STALIN [3.7K]
Maybe. Some schools already have a family studies program where one can participate and learn about home studies eg. learning how to cook and do the laundry and at the end of the course the find themselves unsatisfied with the curriculum. You could argue that having someone who is educated in said topic would be more intriguing for students but that would also disrupt budgets for something that wouldn’t include as many students and lets say spending that money on school trip or activities. Others also will argue that students should be focused on their future and be succeeding in maths or sciences rather than learning how to stay at home and cook
