Answer:

A. to show that cleaning the room will be a huge task.

Explanation:

         We do not know what poem this is referring to, but this poet uses a simile or metaphor. This is a type of figurative language and is not meant to be "taken literally." This rules out options C and D because there is not an <em>actual</em> elephant.

         While B could still be an answer, the narrator could have cleaned up their room once before without it feeling like a big task. Since they chose to compare it to an elephant specifically, we can guess that the answer will be "A. to show that cleaning the room will be a huge task."

Select the most plausible reason why Jackson includes the following sentence in "The Morning of June 28, 1948": "I had written t
cluponka [151]

The answer is between B and D.

The 300 villages in the Lottery are blindly obedient to a tradition that is years and years old. Some things have been dropped and others added and nobody quite knows why.

The beginning of June 28 is just as serene. There are all sorts of interpretations, but nothing hides Jackson's anger about blind tradition that would even sacrifice young children and accept it as being a "good sport."

Tilly is the only one who is justifiably upset. The stones are going to be about her and they will kill her. Being stoned in the Bible was a slow painful process. You weren't killed by being hit. You died by suffocation because the weight of the stones eventually was greater than what the lungs could push up and let down so you could continue breathing.

This stoning is less biological and more what you think stoning should accomplish -- death by loss of blood.  It is a horrible death. Everyone seems to take it for granted -- everyone but Tilly who had to endure it.

If you were writing an essay, you could easily defend A, B and D.  My choice is D, but I wouldn't discount B at all.

How is Walt different from most boys? Cite specific textual evidence to support your answer.
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Walt is mature and stronger than other boys of his age.

Explanation:

The context given is taken from the short story written by Jack London. The name of the short story is The King of Mazy May.

The story runs about the main character of the story, Walt Master who is a fourteen year old boy. The story teaches us to stand by with the right side.

Though Walt Master is a boy but there is a look of manliness on his face. He is young but brave and mature. He is tough and is not afraid of others. He can talk to other man, trade beads and calico with them in exchange of furs.  Thus he is courageous and have a good heart.

In the story he wanted to help Loren hall to get Dawson before the claim jumpers attacked Hall's property.

These qualities makes him different from other boys in the town.
