The excerpt from Chapter 5 reveals Dede's admiration for Minerva's assertiveness. The excerpt is culled from The Time of the Butterflies by Julia Alvarez.

<h3>Dede and Minerva - The Time of the Butterflies</h3>

The author's depiction of Dede shows her to be practical compliant and gentle. She is the one who gives over her own to make peace amongst those that she loves.

On the other end of the spectrum is Minerva. Minerva is bold, adventurous, strong-willed, and idealistic.

Although Minerva is the courageous one, Dede is the one who ends up dedicating her life to the upbringing of her fallen sister's children, thus keeping their legacy as heroes alive.

The correct answer, thus, is A.

In Chapter 5, the author's portrayal of Dede reveals to the reader <u>A. Dede's admiration</u> of Minerva's assertiveness, as captured by Julia Alvarez in "In the time of the Butterflies".

<h3>In the Time of the Butterflies</h3>

<em>Julia Alvarez's "In the Time of the Butterflies" </em>shows that Dede had a split perspective about Minerva and her other sisters. But when she later grew up, she came to realize that the sisters fought against the injustice hoisted on them and the nation by the Dominican Republic's longtime dictatorship led by Trujillo’s government.

Thus, the author's portrayal of Dede does not reveal to the reader about Dede's surprise at Minerva's behavior, her realization of Minerva's flaws, or her irritation with Minerva's assertiveness but <u>Option A</u>.

Try to pronounce the initial (first) sound of the word (thin) and identify its place of articulation. *
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Concerning the place of articulation, the initial sound of thin is a voiceless dental.

Explanation:

Place of articulation is one of the three dimensions used to classify consonantal sounds (as well as voicing and manner of articulation), and refers to the area of the mouth where the constriction happens.

Dental sounds are oral and can be voiced or voiceless. They are called apico-dental sounds because the tip of the tongue, known as the lower articulator, articulates with the upper front teeth through soft contact. The symbol of this sound is [θ], called ‘theta’.

Hunger Games How are the Games used to maintain control over the
Firdavs [7]

Answer and Explanation:

How are the Games used to maintain control over the  districts?

The Hunger Games are a display of power. The Capitol established the Games after the districts attempted a rebellion. Now, people from each district are forced to compete and fight to death. By doing this, the Capitol makes it clear that it has the power to kill, if it wishes. So much so that people would rather risk having their own kids' names drawn to the deadly Games than fighting for freedom. It is as if they think it is better to lose one or two with a certain frequency than battling and losing thousands of lives at once, not seeing that such a sacrificial ritual will never lead to change.

Conversely, how are the Games used to keep  the Capitol happy and content?

The Games keep the people in the Capitol entertained. While people in the districts barely survive each day, in the Capitol they have too much of everything. Not having to starve, hunt, work, fight to live, they become easily bored. This cruel, barbaric display of violence is, therefore, a lot of fun for them.

adoni [48]

Answer:

It's indicative.

Explanation:

Conditional and subjunctive have words including "if" and "could."

Imperative means a command.

This mood is not commanding or saying "what if" or "it could"

Therefore, it is indicative.
