Answer:

Option A. The statement that provides the best analysis of the passage's symbolism is that the light represents Granny Weatherall's life.

Explanation:

In the passage, which ends the short story written by Katherine Anne Porter, Granny is abandoned and rejected once again, when she realizes that George is not coming to the church to marry her, and neither the priest is there with her. In her lasts moments alive, Granny is inmersed in despair and grief because of her loneliness.

The symbolism on this passage is the light, which is the representation of Granny's life, and as she blew it out, the reader understands that she is dying.

Give an example of a time where an animal researcher may use a sample population instead of the entire population.
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Example 1. The population size is relatively small In total population sampling, researchers choose to study the entire population because the size of the population that has the particular set of characteristics that we are interest in is typically very small. Therefore, if you failed to include a small number of units (e.g., people) in your research, a significant piece of the puzzle that you are trying to understand may be missing.

Example 2. The population shares an uncommon characteristic(s) The characteristic shared by the population is considered to be uncommon because this tends to explain why the population that can be studied is very small. In this example above, the population consisted of people with a rare disease, but there are many types of uncommon characteristic. For example, if you were performing case study research in a single firm of 400 employees, examining the effect of senior manager mentorship on employee motivation, there may only be 5-10 senior managers. In this example, the uncommon characteristic is the fact that the people (i.e., units) of interest are all senior managers. Since the total number of senior managers is very small, it makes sense to include all of them in your research; in other words, it makes sense to create a total population sample.

what punchline does Twain build to in paragraph 4? ( The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County )
NARA [144]

The finishing point constructed by Twain is: when the old man is about to finish the story of Jim Smiley's jumping frog, another individual interrupts him. The narrator tries to leave the place, but the old man reaches it. The story ends with the old man who starts telling the narrator about a yellow cow with only one eye of Jim Smiley.
