Which detail best supports the idea that oppressive leaders use propaganda to achieve their goals?
"The milk and the windfall apples (and also the main crop of apples when they ripened) should be reserved for the pigs alone."
"Snowball and Napoleon sent out flights of pigeons . . . to mingle with the animals on neighbouring farms . . . and teach them the tune of ‘Beasts of England.’"
"Now if there was one thing that the animals were completely certain of, it was that they did not want Jones back."
"By the late summer the news of what had happened on Animal Farm had spread across half the county."
Answer: "Snowball and Napoleon sent out flights of pigeons . . . to mingle with the animals on neighbouring farms . . . and teach them the tune of ‘Beasts of England.’"
Explanation:
Everyday Snowball and Napoleon sent pigeons which went to other farms to tell them the news of the rebellion as well as to teach them the words of the Animal Farm anthem, The Beasts of England.
This was a calculated attempt to show the country that animals could rule themselves by using propaganda (biased information) because the pigeons that were sent out spoke only wonderfully about the farm and this led to most believing that the farm was a paradise where animals could rule themselves and govern their own affairs even though in fact, it was a dictatorship.
Answer:
the answer is "Snowball and Napoleon sent out flights of pigeons . . . to mingle with the animals on neighbouring farms . . . and teach them the tune of ‘Beasts of England.’" which is B on edgen 2020.

1- In the opening of The Sword of Summer, Magnus states, "Yeah, I know. You guys are going to
read about how I died in agony, and you're going be like, "Wow! That sounds cool, Magnus! Can
I die in agony too?" How does learning that Magnus dies set the tone for the novel? In what
ways is learning this fact about his fate unique?
Answer:
Learning that Magnus dies is a very important and unique plot device that Riordan uses. The lighthearted style of writing makes the tone feel humorous, but the idea of an agonizing death builds suspense. By learning that he dies, the reader questions how and why Magnus dies. The reader also wonders how he is writing to the reader if he really is dead. Not many writers write from the perspective of a dead character. Since death is the end of life, it is normally the end of a story. No so in "The Sword of Summer." In fact, Magnus' death sets the story up, explaining how he was accepted into Valhalla and so forth.
The tone of the novel is established for the crisis and excitement to come when readers learn that Magnus continues to suffer until his death.
Because they know that the protagonist's fate has already been decided, readers experience a sense of urgency and anticipation. This information changes the plot in radical ways by raising questions about how and why Magnus dies. This builds tension as the readers are curious to know what happened before his demise and how he got there. The development of Magnus' character and the decisions he makes throughout the story are further complicated and tense by the fact that we know his fate from the very beginning.

A conflict is a struggle between two opposing forces. In literature, the conflict often takes place between the protagonist and the antagonist, although that is not necessarily a rule. There are different kinds of conflict, such as man vs. man, man vs. society, man vs. nature, etc. In the passage we are analyzing here, the source of conflict is the city council's decision to destroy the forest that Lee loves. That decision causes a reaction that leads Lee to feel antagonized. She and the city council are now in opposite sides, struggling to get their own way. Lee and the city council are the opposing forces in this conflict.

The type of narrative that records the thoughts and feelings of the narrator as they occur is called
stream of consciousness.
autobiography,
first-person.
omniscient third-person.
Answer:
Stream of consciousness.
Explanation:
Stream of consciousness is a type of narrative that describes the thoughts of the narrator as they occur. The term 'stream of consciousness' was coined by William James, a psychologist.
In this form of narration, the suddeness of rising of thoughts and feelings is written as they appear. This form of narrative is widely used by modern novelist and by short story writers.
Great example of using stream of consciousness narration is found in the works of James Joyce's 'Ulysses.'
So, the correct answer is 'stream of consciousness.'
There is likewise another great Advantage in my Scheme, that it will prevent those voluntary Abortions, and that horrid practice of Women murdering their B*stard Children, alas! too frequent among us, Sacrificing the poor innocent Babes, I doubt, more to avoid the Expence than the Shame, which would move Tears and Pity in the most Savage and inhuman breast. In this and similar statements, the writer of the proposal presents himself as a highly _____ and _____ man. Select all that apply. pragmatic compassionate moral patriotic
Answer:
In this and similar statements, the writer of the proposal presents himself as a highly pragmatic, compassionate and moral man.
Explanation:
In this particular excerpt of "A Modest Proposal", the speaker displays three qualities. First, we can see he is pragmatic. He talks of the advantages of his scheme (feeding poor children to the rich), of how his plan has a practical benefit to everyone involved. Second, he shows how moral he is by condemning women who have an abortion - as we know, abortions are considered immoral by several social groups, even today. Finally, he shows an ironic "compassion" for the babies that would have been aborted. Of course, the whole Proposal is ironic, but this part is specially interesting because he wants to prevent babies from dying so that he can use them as food later on. When he says "poor innocent Babes," he is trying to sound compassionate.
NOTE: I chose three options because the question says "Select all that apply". In case only two options are supposed to fill in the blanks, I would go with pragmatic and moral.

Read Nothing Gold Can Stay , BY ROBERT FROST
What is the effect of the speaker's choice to make the title and the last line the same? Do you wish it had a different title? What might that be? Answer each and every part.
Answer:
The title and the last line of the poem being the same reinforces the phrase as the main theme and makes it all that much powerfull.
Explanation:
As gold refers to youth, uses nature and The Garden of Eden as a metaphor about how nothing, no matter how precious, can last forever.
I wouldn´t change the title, but a good alternative could be simply the word "Gold", as the main reference in the poem: youth as meant to demise.

I’m a story about gladiators, which character is most clearly round? A. Camilla, the stranger from Gaul who is trying to make a new life in Rome B. Flavius, the uncaring emperor who eats grapes and bullies his subjects C. Cecilia, the fierce animal tamer who delights in unleashing the lions D. Lucius, the gladiator who lives for bloodshed and wants nothing but glory
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
A round character is one that we have a lot of detail on. A flat character is one that we do not know much about (things like backstory, feelings, etc.)
Usually the round character is the main character. Out of these answer options, Camilla looks like the main character because stories usually aren't focused on villains (B and D) and Cecilia seems like more of a side character, so I believe Camilla is the main character.
She also seems the most round because it says that she is from Gaul and she wants to make a new life in Rome. We already have much more backstory to her than the others, so the the round character is A. Camilla, the stranger from Gaul who is trying to make a new life in Rome.
Have a wonderful day! :D
Answer: Camilla, the stranger from Gaul who is trying to make a new life in Rome

Why is the Mediterranean Sea so blue?
However, the water exchange from the two seas to the Mediterranean is extremely slow, greatly limiting the flow of nutrients to the bigger sea. The lack of nutrients leads to the great inhibition of algae growth, making the Mediterranean clear and better able to absorb/scatter sunlight to appear a vibrant blue.

Read the excerpt from The Canterbury Tales. "To start with, I declare where I've come from, And then produce my certificates, one by one; My licence with the seal of our lord bishop Which I show first—that's to protect myself So that nobody, whether priest or cleric, Dares interdict me from Christ's holy work." What feature of medieval life is reflected in the excerpt? the custom of going to confession regularly the acceptance of the church's authority the practice of traveling to distant locations the importance of knowing one's neighbors And have a pretty girl in every town. But hear me out now, gentlemen . . . Which statement best describes the satire in the excerpt? The Pardoner's poverty suggests that the Church is too stingy. The Pardoner's excessive drinking underscores the need for moderation. The Pardoner's indulgent spending draws attention to the need for restraint. The Pardoner's disregard for the poor reveals the Church's hypocrisy.
Answer:
1. the acceptance of the church's authority
2. The Pardoner’s disregard for the poor reveals the Church’s hypocrisy
Explanation:
1. The feature of medieval life reflected here is the acceptance of the church's authority.
The Canterbury Tales has about 24 stories with about 17,000 lines. The work was written by Geoffrey Chaucer Geoffrey around a period of 1387 and 1400.
The Canterbury Tales is medieval literature and has great poetic power and entertainment value. The tales gives insight into the different social classes of that century, including their clothes, languages and the recreational activities of the time.
2. Based on the excerpt taken from this book, I can say that the statement that describes the satire here is The Pardoner’s disregard for the poor reveals the Church’s hypocrisy.
Chaucer used Satire to expose the hypocrisy of people and institutions who instead of reliving the poor from their poverty and leading them on a part of spirituality, try to make profits out of their suffering and show less concern about their suffering. The pardoner is a part of the church and should share in the suffering of others but instead he insists on getting the best food and drinks from people in poverty. He also sells redemption at a price
