When Collier uses the metaphor in paragraph 4, what she means is:

D. being poor limited their opportunities in life.

  • "Marigolds" is a short story by author Eugenia W. Collier (born in Baltimore in 1928). The narrator is Lizabeth, and the story is set during the Great Depression.
  • The<u> fourth paragraph</u> of the story provides a sad description of Lizabeth's reality growing up during the Depression. She talks about her poor neighborhood and how poverty was like a cage for them.
  • The narrator uses that metaphor to summarize what she said previously in the paragraph. Being poor meant not only being hungry, but also being culturally deprived.
  • She and the other children had no access to information, <u>did not understand </u>the reason of the extent of their poverty.
  • Without proper food, education, and opportunities, they were condemned to remain poor.
  • In conclusion, letter D is the best option to explain the metaphor, since poverty meant deprivation of opportunities for Lizabeth and the others.

Why does Walter pour syrup on everything and why does Atticus get angry at<br> Scout for noticing?
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Scout was bothered by the fact that Walter poured syrup all over his vegetables and meat because she was raised in a home that took into consideration table manners. Walter’s actions are against everything Scout has been taught from a young age. Pouring syrup all over your plate is disgusting and discourteous.

Hamlet: ... that’s the French bet against the Danish. Why is this ‘imponed,’ as you call it?
Goshia [24]
I believe the correct answer is a duel between Laertes and Hamlet.
Laertes had many reasons to want to kill Hamlet, the most important of which are the facts that Hamlet killed Polonius, Laertes' father, and indirectly led to Ophelia, Laertes' sister, committing suicide. So the excerpt above talks about their future duel in which Hamlet says he would kill Laertes in only three hits.

Question 2
gogolik [260]

Answer:

<h3>A:Pennies Worth Thousands .</h3>

Explanation:

The author in this paragraph is talking about copper pennies which were minted during a time when copper was very limited due to World War II and pennies which were mistakenly doubled stamped in 1955.

It talks about how only few copper pennies were minted in 1943 due to need of coppers in World War II. Today it has become very rare to see copper pennies minted in 1943 as pennies were mostly minted out of steel during that time. The price for these copper pennies minted in 1943 as well as the 1955 double die penny, pennies which were mistakenly double stamped, are as high as $25,000 because of its interesting history and rarity.

Thus, the title "Pennies Worth Thousands" is the best title for this paragraph as these pennies can fetch thousands of dollars for a single penny.
