Answer:

Hello,

The answer would be A,

Some animals can change their appearance to stay safe.

The text provided says that the animals change their appearances to avoid getting eaten by predators. It says " Some fish puff up their bodies to scare other animals away. Some frogs change how their skin looks to blend into their surroundings and avoid predators. Many octopuses can make themselves look like other animals to avoid being hunted."

This shows they are just trying to survive.

Therefore, the answer would be A,

Some animals can change their appearance to stay safe.

Hope this helps! :)

Evaluate the culture presented in the story. What details do you notice that show this story is not taking place in the United S

Answer:

Descriptions of the setting, particularly the names of the streets, indicate "Araby" does not take place in the United States.*

*See explanation for a more in-depth answer

Explanation:

There are subtle ‘hints,’ or details, presented throughout the story that show “Araby” is not taking place in the United States. For starters, the story states these two specific street names: “North Richmond Street” and “Buckingham Street.” Now, these are two street names that America does have. There is a Richmond Street located in Palmdale, California and there is a Buckingham Street in Fullerton, California. Based on this information alone one might (unknowingly & incorrectly) assume that the story is taking place in America. However, there is one sentence in the story that reveals this story could not have taken place in the United States. Read the first sentence of “Araby”:

“North Richmond Street, being blind, was a quiet street except at the hour when the Christian Brothers' School set the boys free.”

According to this sentence, there is a Christian Brothers’ School located on North Richmond Street. Only one place in the world has an all boys school located on a street called North Richmond. That place is Dublin, Ireland. Therefore, based on the gathered information, it is safe to say that this story takes place in Dublin, Ireland; not the United States.

FUN FACT:

The Christian Brothers’ School on North Richmond Street changed its name to O’Connell Secondary School.

Title: let América be America again

Zolol [24]

The author's choice of language in lines 80-86 shape the readers perception in the sense that:

The strong word choice by the author evokes strong feelings from readers, which shapes their perception that America needs to change drastically so that it can truly have freedom and equality.

The author's choice to end the poem this way is similar to a call to action in the sense that:

A call to action tells the audience what they should do. Likewise, Hughes tells readers that they must redeem America and its people, that they must make America what it was supposed to be.

"Let America be America Again" is a poem by Langston Hughes (1901-1967), American poet and social activist who was the leader of the Harlem Renaissance movement.
The last stanza of the poem, lines 80-86, uses very strong word choice. Words such as "ruin", "death", "stealth" and "lies", among others, convey the idea that America is rotten.
What the author wants is to evoke a strong feeling from readers. He wants them to want to change America.
In a sense, the final stanza is a call to action. The author invites the audience to do something to change those awful things about the country.
Hughes calls people to redeem America - its lands, rivers, mountains, mines, plants. By acting, people can make America the country of freedom and equality it should be.
