In this excerpt from "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift, which important issue does the writer deal with using a satirical tone?
Some persons of a desponding spirit are in great concern about that vast number of poor people, who are aged, diseased, or maimed:
and I have been desired to employ my thoughts what course may be taken, to ease the nation of so grievous an incumbrance. But I am
not in the least pain upon that matter, because it is very well known, that they are every day dying, and rotting, by cold and famine, and
filth, and vermin, as fast as can be reasonably expected. And as to the young labourers, they are now in almost as hopeful a condition.
They cannot get work, and consequently pine away from want of nourishment, to a degree, that if at any time they are accidentally hired
to common labour, they have not strength to perform it, and thus the country and themselves are happily delivered from the evils to
come
A.
Old, sickly people cannot be hired as laborers because they don't have the physical stamina required for the job.
B.
Old, sickly people and young laborers are useless to the nation because they cannot be productive citizens.
C.
The economy of the nation is burdened by the poor, the old, and the sickly who survive on charity and handouts.
The living conditions of the poor and their lack of employment opportunities are serious concerns for the nation.
D.
the living conditions of the poor and their lack of employment opportunities are serious concerns for the nation
Answer:
The correct answer is option B. Old, sickly people and young laborers are useless to the nation because they cannot be productive citizens.
Explanation:
In this excerpt we can see how the author addresses the issue of how old and sick people cannot get a job and not only that, they starve and die of cold.
The author also ironically remarks how young workers "are now in almost as hopeful a condition." and talks about how they can't get a job either.
Exactly the use of this irony is what is considered as "satirical tone".
Given this information we can say that the correct answer is option B.

asl speech on "the reasons and importance of social distancing" for class 10 student.
Read the excerpt from "The Rosetta Stone.” Then chance stepped in. In 1798, Napoleon went to Egypt to protect its trade interests. In addition to an army, he brought along Egyptian scholars who were charged with copying the inscriptions and studying the architecture. The following year, the French bolstered their defenses by rebuilding a fort in the town of Rosetta. In the midst of the fortification, the Rosetta Stone was discovered. Ironically, this large stone tablet was found not by one of the scholars but by a soldier. Luckily, he recognized that the inscriptions must have value. Militarily, Napoleon's Egyptian campaign was a disaster—the British decimated the French navy—but historically, it was of long-lasting importance. Which best describes the primary structure of this excerpt? problem and solution chronological order list form comparison and contrast
The correct answer is B. Chronological order
Explanation:
The excerpt focuses on explaining the events related to the discovery of the Rosetta stone. Additionally, in the text, the author organizes events according to time or in chronological order, from the oldest to the most recent event. This can be seen in "In 1798, Napoleon went to Egypt" and "The following year, the French bolstered their defenses". Moreover, the chronological structure is supported through expressions such as in 1798 or the following year that show time and the way events occurred in it.

How does Fadi’s identity as a “brother” affect his perspective of the night his family escaped Afghanistan?
Answer:
How does Fadi's identity as a "brother" affect his perspective of the night his family escaped Afghanistan? Well, when I read the first two pages I noticed something. Fadi wanted to protect his younger sister, Mariam. I believe it makes him want to protect his loved ones, including his younger sister. Being a brother, especially an older brother, makes you want to protect.The first quote from the first two pages that I found supported my answer is, "Fadi emerged next, keeping a protective hand on his younger sister, Mariam, who slid out behind him." The second quote I found was "Fadi was only halfway through the first chapter, so he didn’t know how successful Claudia had been in her getaway, old fashioned or not, but he sure hoped that his family would be. If they weren’t, they were going to be in an awful lot of trouble."

Read the two versions of the beginning of Yasmin’s narrative. Version 1: I took a long, lingering look at the tremendous beauty that surrounded me. Nature abounded as far as the eye could see, and the only sounds to be heard were the peaceful murmurs of that which existed in the wilderness. As I sat there, my tent and sleeping bag the only signs of civilization for miles, my heart swelled with relief that I had decided to take this weekend camping trip. I could feel every muscle in my body gradually relaxing with every sight, every sound, every smell within this untouched slice of tranquility. It was hard to believe that anything could disrupt the serenity of this place . . . but I could not have been more wrong. Version 2: Exhausted, I took one last look around me. I had been camping for only two short days, but I could not wait to get home and recount the adventures of my short stay in peace and tranquility. Hoisting my backpack onto my back, I grabbed my canteen and began the long trek back to my car. The question was not which story I should tell, but rather which one I should tell first. What best describes the contrast between the narrative structures of Version 1 and Version 2? Version 1 uses chronological order, building up to the action. Version 2 starts with the conclusion to make readers curious about the beginning. Version 1 provides background information prior to relaying events. Version 2 begins with an exciting conflict.

How does a third person limited omniscient contribute to the effectiveness of an oral story?
Answer:
A third person limited omniscient contribute to the effectiveness of an oral story
Explanation:
the third-person point of view, most commonly seen in the works of fiction, relates all the actions of a character in third person. writing in third person relies heavily on pronouns; such as “he”, “she”, and “they”.
writing is typically easiest done in first person, as it is easy to describe one’s own thoughts. though, writing in third person allows for much more freedom. writing in first person limits the author to only one perspective, while writing in third person allows for multiple perspectives.
think of it like this: when writing in third person, it is almost as if you are describing a play happening right before your eyes. as the writer, you are “all-knowing”. because you are writing in third person, you have no biases or preferences. leaving your readers to rely on you rather than the tellings of a character.
the most important rule regarding point of view is that it must be consistent. as soon as a writer drifts from one point of view to another, the reader will pick up on it. this will result in the writer losing their authority as a storyteller and causing confusion to the reader. for example, let’s say that a character in a third-person narrative has a secret. the writer can not reveal this secret unless the character says it in dialogue, making it a bit trickier to add in key points for the plot.

The preposition is in bold text. The object of the preposition is in italics. (On the table) is the book. (On the table is the book). On the table (is the book). (On the table) is the book.
Answer:

Ob. It wasn't easy: in order to start writing a paper, I had to brainstorm ideas.
O c. It wasn't easy, in order to start writing a paper, I had to brainstorm ideas.

Answer: B
Explanation: A colon should be placed in between the two phrases ‘It wasn’t easy’ and ‘in order to start writing a paper’ since the second phrase occurs following the first phrase.
A comma is needed in between ‘in order to start writing a paper’ and ‘I had to brainstorm ideas’ because ‘in order’ requires a comma. It’s similar to (‘However,’) or (‘Because of this,”).

In the story, Victor is finally able to impress Teresa. Do you think it matters that this impression is based on something that isn’t true? (The story is seventh grade by Gary Soto)
Answer:
In my opinion, it will eventually matter one way or the other that the impression wasn’t based on something real. Leaving a good impression on anyone when it’s really based on a lie is never a good way or idea to start a relationship or friendship with the other person. Sooner or later they find out that what you claimed to be wasn’t true, and even if they don’t find out, you’ll always feel guilty for lying and you’ll feel like if it weren’t for the lie, you couldn’t have gotten the other person’s approval.

Which of the following is the inverse of ? f(x)=(3-x)/5 A. B. C. D.
Answer:
3 - 5x
Explanation:
f(x) = (3 - x) ÷ 5
let inverse of f(x) be represented by y
y = (3 - x) ÷ 5
5y = 3 - x
x = 3 - 5y
replace y with x
y = 3 - 5x
inverse of f(x) = 3 - 5x
Match each excerpt from song of myself by Walt Whitman to the poetic devices used
Answer:
A). Alliteration
O suns - O grass of graves - O perpetual transfers and promotions
B). Assonance
No doubt I have died myself ten thousand times before
C). Rhyme
Hous-es and rooms are full of per-fumes
D). Parallelism
I ascend from the moon, I ascend from the night
Explanation:
Whitman employs a number of literary devices in 'Song of Myself' to beautifully portray his idea of 'celebrating the democracy and individualism', and 'unity of humankind.'
As per the question, the given poetic devices have been correctly matched with the excerpt from poem as mentioned above.
Alliteration is the poetic device that involves the repetition of consonant sounds('g' and 'p' in the given line) at the beginning of two or more words('grass and graves', 'perpetual and promotions') immediately succeeding each other or at short intervals.
Assonance is a literary device that includes 'repetition of similar or identical vowel sounds' but starting with distinct consonant sounds. It assists in developing a rhythm and flowy effect in the poem. The excerpt 'no...before' involves repetition of the same vowel sound 'o' in 'No', 'doubt', 'thousand', 'before.'
Rhyme refers to the repetition of alike sounds customarily at the end of a line in a poem. The words 'room' and 'fume' give a similar rhyming sound.
Parallelism involves repetition of alike words or phrases('I ascend' in the given line) in order to create a rhythm, attract the readers' attention, and make it memorable for them.
We can relate each line to the poetical resource it represents as follows:
Alliteration: O suns - O grass of graves - O perpetual transfers and promotions Assonance: No doubt I have died myself ten thousand times before Rhyme: Hous-es and rooms are full of per-fumes Parallelism: I ascend from the moon, I ascend from the nightWe can arrive at this answer because:
Alliteration corresponds to the repetition of syllabic sounds in the same line. We can see this in "grass of bass."Assonance refers to the repetition of vowel sounds and the same sentence. We can see an example of this in "died," "myself" and "times."Rhyme can be seen when the ends of words or lines have the same sound. This can be seen in "Hous-es" and "per-fumes."Parallelism can be in clauses that are presented with the same grammatical construction, in addition to being presented in sequences.With that, we can affirm that Walt Whitman made strong use of literary devices in his poetry.

O He believes that the animals should move away
and find a new farm to work on.
O He desires more for the animals and thinks that they
should be equal to humans.
O He believes that the animals should reject wealth
and the material goods of humans.
Answer:
The correct answer is He desires more for the animals and thinks that they should be equal to humans.
Explanation:
Old Major is a pig who is in charge of leading this proposed rebellion. As the passage shows, he believes that humans are the threat, and animals should be treated with equal importance.
For Old Major it would be best to get rid of the humans who are the tyrants in this story.

If a white girl reported that a colored man had made improper advances to her – even if the charge were unsupported and based on nothing more than a neurotic imagination – a white-sheeted band might spirit the Negro off to the woods and "teach him a lesson" with tar and feathers or with the whip. If a white man stood up for a Negro in a race quarrel, he might be kidnapped and beaten up.
