Is the fat lady in the elevator real or imaginary? Explain why you think the way you do and use evidence from the text to support your ideas/claims.
The story is below!
Answer:
In the story "The Elevator" I believe that "the fat lady" that kept appearing in the elevator was real. According to the text, when the fat lady first appeared, Martin could very well describe her, "She wore a threadbare green coat that ballooned around her; her ankles bulged above dirty sneakers... Her features seemed very small, squashed together by the loose fleshy mounds of her cheeks. She had no chin, only a great swollen mass of neck, barely contained by the collar of her coat. Her sparse red hair was pinned in the back by a plastic barrette. And her blue eyes, though tiny, were sharp and penetrating, boring into Martin's fаce." Second, in the story, Martin could surely feel her presence and describe her. Martin could feel her in the elevator when he had to squeeze himself against a corner to make room for her. "She was so big that she filled the cubicle; her coat brushed against him, and he had to squeeze into the corner to make room for her-there certainly wouldn't have been room for another passenger." When he got off the elevator, "He didn't care what she thought. He ran past her, outside into the fresh air, and then he ran almost all the way to school. He had never felt such relief in his life." On the second time she got on the elevator, the events that occurred could prove she was real -"But there she was, massively real. "Going up!" he said, his voice a humiliating squeak She nodded, her flesh quivering, and stepped on. The door slammed. He watched her pudgy hand move toward the buttons." When she suggested going to level 18, she might have done this unpurpose to find out where Martin lived, and, when Martin said "Going up!", the story describes her response as a nod.
In conclusion, The Fat Lady conclusively is real, because Martins senses about her are notably real.
Note:
I almost felt inclined to say she is Imaginary, but I couldn't find any evidence. I hope this helps!

The book does not establish conclusively whether the big lady in the elevator is genuine or fictitious. The tale, however, provides room for interpretation, and various readers may reach different conclusions depending on the data presented.
The overweight lady is detailed in great detail, including her physical appearance, attire, and even facial expressions. This amount of detail shows that she is a real person that the protagonist meets.
Interaction: The protagonist interacts with the fat lady directly. She looks at him, and he looks back, uncomfortable and stuck in the elevator with her.
genuine Reactions: The protagonist's reactions to the appearance of the fat lady, as well as his continued thoughts about her throughout the day, reflect a genuine reaction to encountering a stranger who makes him uncomfortable.

Which statement best describes why the actions of the opening scene of

O A. Romeds participation in the light shows how brave and loyal heis,
which helps establish his character,
B. The scene creates tension by showing the meeting of Romeo and
Juliet, before immediately splitting them apart,
C. The scene shows goodwill between the Montagues and the
Capulets, suggesting that things in the way wortt be as you
expect
D. The scene's street fight is started with an impulsive act, and the
danger of such acts is an important theme in the play
Answer:
The answer is option D: The scene's street fight is started with an impulsive act, and the danger of such acts is an important theme in the play
Explanation:
If we first use what we already know about the play we can immediatly eliminate option c as the answer because the Montagues and the Capulets absolutely despise each other and definately don't have goodwill towards each other. Throughout the play there is a general theme going on, the street fight starting off the play shows this theme. There is danger of doing particular acts like the impulsive act of them streetfighting which is seen repeatedly thoughout the play, there is impulsive acts that are dangerous going on throughout the entire play for example Juliet and her potion, Romeo and his falling in love with someone from the family in which his despises. And of course the constant fighting. We also can eliminate option B because the scene does not create tension. And finally we can eliminate A because his participation in the fight does not show that he is brave or loyal it is instead showing that he is impulsive and cowardly to be involved in something such as the fight. Therefore the answer is option D.

What does Paul mean when he says that the “minorities are the majority”? What are some examples of this?
Answer:
Haha just listened to a sermon on this.
Explanation:
In this particular situation, Paul is speaking to heavily religious people that were filling the synagogues. These people loved to argue over the 'minor' things, but never confronted the major issues. One example of this was the practice of circumcision by the Jews. They wanted to force the Gentiles to get circumcised, even though they were already saved. This was a minor thing, but all those minor things did not matter because you were saved. This is what Paul means by majoring in the minors.

1. Jennie is so complicated that I can't understand. (SO)
In this sentence, "so" is used to emphasize the degree of complexity that Jennie possesses.
2. The wall is too high for me to reach. (TOO)
"Too" is used here to indicate that the height of the wall exceeds the speaker's ability to reach it.
3. She is not old enough to understand the problem. (ENOUGH)
The word "enough" conveys the lack of maturity or experience in this context.
4. The movie was so interesting that I couldn't turn it off. (SO/SUCH)
In the first part of the sentence, "so" is used to emphasize the level of interest the movie held, while in the second part, "such" is used to refer to the movie and emphasize its level of interest to the extent that the speaker was unable to stop watching.
5. This exercise was not easy enough for me to finish. (ENOUGH)
The word "enough" here indicates that the level of ease provided by the exercise was inadequate for the speaker to complete it successfully.
6. The house is too small for us to live in. (TOO)
"Too" in this sentence signifies that the size of the house falls below the necessary or expected level required for the speaker and their family to live comfortably.
7. My boss was kind enough to pay for the meal. (ENOUGH)
"Enough" in this context emphasizes the level of kindness demonstrated by the boss, indicating that the boss's kindness was sufficient to cover the cost of the meal and is appreciated by the speaker.

HELP IM TIMED I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST Read this passage from Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll.
"I should like to buy an egg, please,” she said timidly. "How do you sell them?”
"Fivepence farthing for one—Twopence for two,” the Sheep replied.
"Then two are cheaper than one?” Alice said in a surprised tone, taking out her purse.
"Only you MUST eat them both, if you buy two,” said the Sheep.
"Then I'll have ONE, please,” said Alice, as she put the money down on the counter. For she thought to herself, "They mightn't be at all nice, you know.”
The Sheep took the money, and put it away in a box: then she said "I never put things into people's hands—that would never do—you must get it for yourself.” And so saying, she went off to the other end of the shop, and set the egg upright on a shelf.
"I wonder WHY it wouldn't do?” thought Alice, as she groped her way among the tables and chairs, for the shop was very dark towards the end. "The egg seems to get further away the more I walk towards it. Let me see, is this a chair? Why, it's got branches, I declare! How very odd to find trees growing here! And actually here's a little brook! Well, this is the very queerest shop I ever saw!”
