Answer: A. Plant press
Explanation:
A plant press is a contraption that is used to store samples of plants. The plants are flattened and dried so that they can be transported from one place to another primarily to enable them to be studied.
The specimens that John Muir gathered therefore must have been plants which he then stored in his plant press.
Answer:
word surround and unfamiliar word
The answer is A: Gogol's desire to remove himself from his Indian heritage
An impression means that there is an opinion taking place, and is often not what you would call facts.
1. Almost bizarre quality about the general's face.
One is opinionated, Rainsford finding him to be bizarre. It cannot be considered anything other than an impression because finding something to be weird is not something every person can agree on. This is an impression Rainsford had from the actions General Zaroff took.
4. The face of an aristocrat
Similarly, number four is also opinionated. There is no real "face" to an aristocrat, and so the line merely implies that Rainsford felt as if with a face like that, General Zaroff could be an aristocrat. This means that this one is also an impression Rainsford had been able to draw from observing him.
Numbers two, three, five, and six are not the correct answer. These answer choices do not provide an impression, and instead explain what is happening in a scene. Anybody in a room would be able to agree that the Cossack had put away his pistol, and that the general had turned to him and made a sign. Numbers two and three are both describing how General Zaroff looks, and although it seems a bit personally detailed, anybody would be able to look at his face and point out that Zaroff has thick eyebrows, black hair, and dark eyes.
This is why the only applicable choices would be one and four.
