Answer:

1.) The monkey’s paw is an actual monkey’s paw but on this one, a holy person, known as a fakir, put a spell on it so that 3 people can have 3 wishes and see that fate cannot be changed. In paragraph 26 it states, “He wanted to show that fate ruled people’s lives, and that those who interfered with it did so to their sorrow.” Herbert White thinks the monkey’s paw as a joke. In paragraph 52 Herbert reacts with “pretended horror” and says "Likely. Why, we're going to be rich, and famous and happy. Wish to be an emperor, father, to begin with; then you can't be henpecked." He is saying this to lighten up the mood. In another paragraph Herbert thinks that the monkey’s paw might be of use. In fact, when Mr. White says that he needs nothing, Herbert encourages his father to wish for 200 pounds. In the text it states, “Well, wish for 2 hundred pounds.”  Then he sits down at the piano to strike "a few impressive chords." In conclusion, Herbert’s dialogue expressed his feelings which shows readers what he thinks about the monkey’s paw.

Match each piece of text from "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift to the subject of the satire.
Salsk061 [2.6K]
I have found the complete question for this from another resource. I will paste them here for reference:

1. They can very seldom pick up a livelihood by stealing till they arrive at six years old; except where they are of towardly parts, although I confess they learn the rudiments much earlier. 

2. These children are seldom the fruits of marriage, a circumstance not much regarded by our savages. 

3. Men would become as fond of their wives, during the time of their pregnancy, as they are now of their mares in foal, their cows in calf, or sow when they are ready to farrow.

A. the general perception of all poor as thieves and robbers 
B. the government's lack of attention to the poor 
C. the perception that Irish families lack a regard for the institution of marriage 
D. the lack of institutions to conduct marriages for the Irish poor 
E. the increasing number of husbands abandoning their wives and children 
F. the belief that thieves and robbers are abundant in Ireland 
G. poor husbands' low opinion of their wives

NUMBER 1:
This satire is talking about how poor people only earn through stealing at an early age. From the choices, we can see two options (A and F) which are talking about robbers but only one of them is the true subject of the text. Since the text is talking about a stereotype of the poor as robbers, option A is more appropriate for this item.

ANSWER: A. the general perception of all poor as thieves and robbers 

NUMBER 2:
This piece of text is hinting that most children have parents who are not married (clue word: seldom). The text also hints that the "savages" do not care about that fact. Among the options, two are talking about marriage (C and D). However, among these, only choice C accurately encapsulates the subject of the text.

ANSWER: C. the perception that Irish families lack a regard for the institution of marriage

NUMBER 3:
The excerpt in this item is talking about how husbands are ONLY fond of their wives when they are pregnant. This means that the text is hinting that the husbands are not as fond of their wives when they are not pregnant. Choices E and G talk about husbands and wives but choice G captures the subject of the satire more.

ANSWER: G. poor husbands' low opinion of their wives

How would your verbal communication style differ for these two groups of people (children vs. senior citizens)?
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

My verbal communication style would differ from that of a child or senior citizen since we all have different ages and ways of expressing ourselves.

Explanation:

Verbal communication is one where the message is verbalized, since the words are used either orally or in writing.

Verbal communication arises from the need to communicate.

Verbal language or speech is not a quality that comes with birth, but is acquired by the child laboriously during childhood, becoming an important and fundamental instrument for communication and cognitive activity.

That is why as we grow, we acquire more verbal communication. And that is why a child, a young person and a senior citizen will not have the same styles and languages to express themselves since they have had different lifetimes to acquire them.
