Answer:
An Excerpt from “Optimism”
by Helen Keller
1 Could we choose our environment, and were desire in human undertakings synonymous with
endowment, all men would, I suppose, be optimists. Certainly most of us regard happiness as
the proper end of all earthly enterprise. The will to be happy animates alike the philosopher, the
prince and the chimney-sweep. No matter how dull, or how mean, or how wise a man is, he feels
that happiness is his indisputable right.
2 It is curious to observe what different ideals of happiness people cherish, and in what singular
places they look for this well-spring of their life. Many look for it in the hoarding of riches, some
in the pride of power, and others in the achievements of art and literature; a few seek it in the
exploration of their own minds, or in the search for knowledge.
3 Most people measure their happiness in terms of physical pleasure and material possession.
Could they win some visible goal which they have set on the horizon, how happy they would be!
Lacking this gift or that circumstance, they would be miserable. If happiness is to be so
measured, I who cannot hear or see have every reason to sit in a corner with folded hands and
weep. If I am happy in spite of my deprivations, if my happiness is so deep that it is a faith, so
thoughtful that it becomes a philosophy of life,—if, in short, I am an optimist, my testimony to
the creed of optimism is worth hearing....
4 Once I knew the depth where no hope was, and darkness lay on the face of all things. Then
love came and set my soul free. Once I knew only darkness and stillness. Now I know hope and
joy. Once I fretted and beat myself against the wall that shut me in. Now I rejoice in the
consciousness that I can think, act and attain heaven. My life was without past or future; death,
the pessimist would say, “a consummation devoutly to be wished.” But a little word from the
fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness, and my heart leaped to the
rapture of living. Night fled before the day of thought, and love and joy and hope came up in a
passion of obedience to knowledge. Can anyone who has escaped such captivity, who has felt
the thrill and glory of freedom, be a pessimist?
5 My early experience was thus a leap from bad to good. If I tried, I could not check the
momentum of my first leap out of the dark; to move breast forward is a habit learned suddenly
at that first moment of release and rush into the light. With the first word I used intelligently, I
learned to live, to think, to hope. Darkness cannot shut me in again. I have had a glimpse of the
shore, and can now live by the hope of reaching it.
6 So my optimism is no mild and unreasoning satisfaction. A poet once said I must be happy
because I did not see the bare, cold present, but lived in a beautiful dream. I do live in a
beautiful dream; but that dream is the actual, the present,—not cold, but warm; not bare, but
furnished with a thousand blessings. The very evil which the poet supposed would be a cruel
6) Read the last sentence from the text.
Only by contact with evil could I have learned to feel by contrast the beauty of truth and love and goodness.

In poem, the speaker feels that death is cruel and make people feel discouraged in life, we mourn
when someone dies but after a while we forget and life continues not until we hear another death
which reminds us of the other departed souls. This explanation can be seen on the novel where
the author states that;” And the grief of ten years ago rite, A walk down the garden carrying death
in an egg ,And the sky singing, the trees still waving farewell, When dying was nothing to
know”. This also means that death has no friend it picks what it feels it is right for that time.
Explanation:
write a composition explaining the rules of games. a composition must have .. number of players, position and role of each player, penalties involved,aim of game , system of scoring. topics given below..
A) describe your favorite team game to someone who wishes to play it , explaining the rules involved.
B) describe a local game to a pen- friend who wishes to know something about it.
Answer:
a.The game of basketball consists of four quarters of 10 minutes each, and if scores are tied at the end of it, there is a five minutes' extension called “overtime”. 7) The scoring rules are simple. If you shoot from behind the arc, you will get three points whereas shot from inside the arc receives two points.
b.We love to get involved in different kinds of spectators and individual sports in Myanmar. In fact, our government also encourages us to play sports. Anyway, today I would like to talk about a sport, which I enjoy playing the most like millions of others in my country.
The name of this sport is football. In fact, football by far is the most popular sport in my country, followed by Golf, especially after the modern Myanmar national football league was formed in the year of 2009. Besides, football has a long and rich tradition in my country as used to be one of the best Asian teams along with Iran and South Korea, winning Asian Games football tournaments twice, in 1966 and 1970, as well as being runner up in the 1968 Asian Cup, after the champion and host Iran. Myanmar youth team had also crowned Asian youth championship titles seven times.
Anyway, when I was younger, I could play this sport anywhere in our streets, where I lived, with my friends and neighbours because back then, the streets were not really that busy. But, as I've grown up now, I only play this great sport in the field by dividing ourselves, including my friends and neighbours, in two teams, with 11 players in each, and we play like true professionals. In fact, we even organize a “friendly cup” football tournament for our wards (“ward” is a local city authority in my country) in our town every year where the champion team receives an award.
In fact, when our “ward” team plays in this friendly cup football tournament, we support our own teams by chanting and screaming for them so that they become spirited and energized to score goals.
Anyway, I enjoy this sport because it allows me to socialize and mingle with my friends and neighbours while also having fun in the field. The game helps me recuperate from the fatigue and tiredness of my busy working life. Finally, the sport also allows me to remain physically fit and healthy like no other game.

Read the excerpt.Everybody needs a boost of energy at times, and caffeine is an easy way to wake up. Most people in the United States immediately grab for coffee to get a jolt of caffeine. While caffeine in coffee can be a tasty way to energize, caffeine also has drawbacks to healthy living, such as digestive issues, high blood pressure, and rapid heart rate. A more health-conscious alternative is peppermint oil. Peppermint oil provides an energizing effect that can increase brain oxygen levels and increase performance. Trying to increase focus by drinking coffee instead of using peppermint oil guarantees future health complications.Which choice best explains the effect of the author’s use of faulty reasoning?The false dilemma diminishes the author’s credibility by failing to present options other than coffee and peppermint oil.The audience is likely to dismiss the claims because the author criticizes the use of coffee, which most people enjoy.The argument distracts from the strong
The argument does not show how peppermint oil should be used, which could lead to public rejection of this product.
We can come to this answer because:
Coffee is a product well known by the public, who already know its effects and how to use it.To show a product that can completely replace the coffee of the article readers' lifetime, the author should present a product that is equivalent to coffee.Although the author presents peppermint oil as an alternative product to coffee, the author does not explain the usage formats and the effect of this oil.This promotes incorrect reasoning, as the reader will not be able to see the equivalence between the two products.In this case, the author did not make a good comparison between the two products, as it reinforces the practicality of consuming coffee and makes peppermint oil inaccessible.
It should be remembered that the above question does not show all answer options and the options presented are incorrect.

read each quotation from the story, and then decide whether the author is using direct or indirect characterization. "della, being slender, had mastered the art." "madame, large, too white, chilly, hardly looked the ‘sofronie.’" "‘twenty dollars,’ said madame, lifting the mass with a practised hand." "grand as the watch was, he sometimes looked at it on the sly on account of the old leather strap that he used in place of a chain."
Indirect characterization occurs when the reader has to determine the personality of the character from his actions or choice of words. Direct characterization explicitly describes the personalities of characters. The direct and indirect characterizations in the sentences are;
Direct characterization- Della, being slender, had mastered the art." Direct characterization- "Madame, large, too white, chilly, hardly looked the sofronie.Direct characterization- Twenty dollars,’ said madame, lifting the mass with a practiced hand."Indirect characterization- "grand as the watch was, he sometimes looked at it on the sly on account of the old leather strap that he used in place of a chain."Direct and indirect characterizations are demonstrated in these conversations. In the first sentence, the author explicitly said that Della was slender.
In the last sentence, we see that the description of the man as a stingy person was not straightforward.
Therefore, the author used both direct and indirect characterizations.
