Answer: It is describing the dreadful voyage of a group of enslaved Africans on a slave ship—more specifically the so-called middle passage voyage.
Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that this is an excerpt from Olaudah Equiano's bestseller autobiography (1789). He was a former enslaved African who was eventually able to buy his freedom and become a seaman and a merchant. In this passage he is relating the horrors he experienced and witnessed during the so-called middle passage voyage across the Atlantic Ocean to the New World. He describes the unbereable voyage aboard an overcrowded ship, the unhealthy conditions, the diseases and the deaths, as well as the screams and the groans of those that, like him, were obliged to leave their homes and work as slaves.
The correct answer is D. The Land Down Under. Australia Department of Tourism, 1 February 2013. Web. 14 June 2013.
Explanation:
According to the MLA guidelines for a website and almost any other source, when the author's name is not known you should simply omit it. This means the first information you should include is not the author's name or last name but the name of the website or source, which is the information after the author in most citations. Also, you should include the name of the publisher after the title of the source. According to this, the first information should be "The Land Down Under". Besides this, the word "web" which is the medium should be included after the date of publication, and before the date you read the source. This makes the last option the correct citation.
Answer:
Essentially, the word “blackberry” (as you might guess) came from our ancestors looking at a berry-like fruit that was black, and deciding on a simple name for it. The word “black” comes from the Old Norse word for the color, which was “blakkr.” This developed into “blaec” in Old English.
Answer:
b. The painting has an overall decorative-pattern effect and a flattened sense of space.
Explanation:
Fauvism has as its common axis the exploration of the wide possibilities posed by the use of color. The freedom with which they use pure tones, never mixed, manipulating them arbitrarily, far from concerns with verisimilitude, gives rise to flat surfaces, without light-dark illusionists. The sharp brushes build spaces that are, first of all, smooth areas, illuminated by reds, blues, and oranges. Fauvism was an experimental stage in European art, and Matisse was its major representative. That's why his painting has this pattern of colors and the way he arranges the objects in the canvas. Everything was made to expand the boundaries of the art, and the understanding of it.
