They don't ask for ransom because they want money right away so they can eat.

<h3>Why do they need money right away?</h3>
  • The men say they are very hungry, but they don't have any money to buy food.
  • They can't get any kind of donation either and the hunger is getting hard to bear.
  • For this reason, they decide to rob a rich white man, so they would have immediate money to satisfy their hunger.

The hunger is so violent that they don't even realize they can get more money by keeping the man kidnapped and asking for a ransom payment.

This question is about "Why you Reckon" written by Langston Hughes, who was an author who used to portray the challenges of black society.

While they are in the last chamber, what 3 things does Professor Quirrell tell Harry that surprises him? (List them)
frutty [35]

Answer:

1. Quirrell tells Harry he is the one who tried to kill him.

2. He tells Harry professor Snape was actually trying to save Harry.

3. He tells Harry he is the one who let the troll in during Halloween.

Explanation:

In J. K. Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", the main character Harry Potter is famous in the world of wizards and witches. When he was just a baby, the infamous Lord Voldemort, an evil wizard, tried to kill him, but Harry survived.

Now, Harry is 11 years old and attending his first year at Hogwarts, the magic school. <u>He thinks professor Snape, who clearly hates Harry, is trying to kill him and also trying to obtain the philosopher's stone. To Harry's astonishment, it is professor Quirrell who is doing all that. Quirrell seems shy and weak, but he is serving Lord Voldemort. He casts a spell to try and kill Harry during a Quidditch match, but Snapes casts a countercurse to save him. Quirrell also let a troll into the castle to distract everyone during Halloween while he went searching for the stone but, once again, Snape went after him. Quirrell tells Harry those things while they are in the last chamber, searching for the stone.</u>

Keiko handed her castle project to her teacher that was late.
torisob [31]

Answer:

It seems like the teacher is the one who is late.

Explanation:

Misplaced modifiers are the modifiers that are misplaced or placed in such a way that they are far from the noun they intend to modify. In other words, modifiers placed away from the intended noun and seem like they are modifying another word are known as misplaced modifiers.

In the given sentence, the modifier "that was late" was intended for Keiko's project. But rather, it is placed next to the noun "teacher" making it seem like it is the teacher who's late. This is a case of a misplaced modifier.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
