Read the following passage from an analysis essay's body: Both Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter and Herman Melville's Moby-D share important traits of Gothic literature. In Moby-D, Melville uses the color white to represent grotesqueness, saying that it "peculiarly repels and often shocks the eye" (211). Hawthorne similarly relies on color to convey meaning, drawing particular emphasis to the scarlet in the "A" that Hester Prynne must wear. What is the primary weakness of this passage? A. No evidence is given from either novel. B. The evidence is not clearly tied to the claim. C. Color is an inappropriate topic for analysis. D. The passage fails to make a debatable claim.

Answer:

D). The passage fails to make a debatable claim.

Explanation:

The key weakness of the given passage is that 'it fails to establish a debatable claim.' A claim is characterized as debatable when the readers could reasonably argue on different opinions regarding it but here the 'claim regarding the presence of gothic elements' in Hawthorne's 'Scarlett Letter' and Herman Melville's 'Moby-D' is already agreed upon and accepted as a fact. Thus, there remains no point in persuading the readers' to believe in it by comparing the two. Another weakness of this passage is that the evidence presented here fails to support the claim. Thus, option D is the correct answer.

There is no objective 'truth' in morality." – do you agree or disagree? Why or Why not? ​

Step 3:
Choose one personal connection from Seventh Grade. Using specific evidence from the
selection, explain how your personal experience is similar to events or characters in the story.

02:38:52 Read the excerpt from Animal Farm. In the long pasture, not far from the farm buildings, there was a small knoll which was the highest point on the farm. After surveying the ground, Snowball declared that this was just the place for a windmill, which could be made to operate a dynamo and supply the farm with electrical power. This would light the stalls and warm them in winter, and would also run a circular saw, a chaff-cutter, a mangel-slicer, and an electric milking machine. The animals had never heard of anything of this kind before (for the farm was an old-fashioned one and had only the most primitive machinery), and they listened in astonishment while Snowball conjured up pictures of fantastic machines which would do their work for them while they grazed at their ease in the fields or improved their minds with reading and conversation. According to this passage, how would the electricity produced by the windmill most affect the animals? Select two options. They would not have to learn about farming. They would have a beautiful view atop the knoll. They would have machines laboring for them. They would not have to walk as far to get to work. They would have more leisure time to themselves.

excerpt adapted from A Tale of Two Cities
by Charles Dickens
A beautiful landscape, with the com bright in it, but not
abundant. Patches of poor rye where com should have
been patches of poor peas and beans patches of most
coarse vegetable substitutes for wheat.
Monsieur the Marquis in his traveling carriage (which
might have been lighter), conducted by four horses and
two guards on horseback, labored up a steep hill, A blush
on the countenance of Monsieur the Marquis was no fault
of his high breeding. It was not from within. It was brought
on by an external circumstance beyond his control the
setting sun. In effect, the sun was so low that it dipped at
that very moment,
But, there remained a broken country, bold and open, a
little village at the bottom of the hill, a broad steep and
rise beyond it, a church-tower, a windmill, a forest for the
chase, and a crag with a fortress on it,
The village had its one poor street, with its poor
tannery, poor tavern, poor stable-yard for relays of post
horses, poor fountain, all usual poor appointments. It had
its poor people too. All its people were poor, and many of
them were sitting at their doors, shredding spare onions
and the like for supper, while many were at the fountain,
washing leaves, and grasses, and any such small products
of the earth that could be eaten, Expressive signs of what
made them poor were not wanting. The tax for the state,
the tax for the church, the tax for the lord, tax local and
tax gend were to be paid here and to be paid there,
according to solemn inscription in the little village, until
the wonder was, that there was any village left

Write five questions for an interview with Rikki-tikki-tavi about the events of this passage:
Rikki-tikki's eyes grew red again, and he danced up to Karait with the peculiar rocking, swaying motion that he had inherited from his family. It looks very funny, but it is so perfectly balanced a gait that you can fly off from it at any angle you please; and in dealing with snakes this is an advantage. If Rikki-tikki had only known, he was doing a much more dangerous thing than fighting Nag, for Karait is so small, and can turn so quickly, that unless Rikki bit him close to the back of the head, he would get the return-stroke in his eye or lip. But Rikki did not know: his eyes were all red, and he rocked back and forth, looking for a good place to hold. Karait struck out. Rikki jumped sideways and tried to run in, but the wicked little dusty gray head lashed within a fraction of his shoulder, and he had to jump over the body, and the head followed his heels close.

Read the passage from Animal Farm. They had just finished singing it for the third time when Squealer, attended by two dogs, approached them with the air of having something important to say. He announced that, by a special decree of Comrade Napoleon, "Beasts of England" had been abolished. From now onwards it was forbidden to sing it. The animals were taken aback. "Why?" cried Muriel. "It's no longer needed, comrade," said Squealer stiffly. "'Beasts of England' was the song of the Rebellion. But the Rebellion is now completed. The execution of the traitors this afternoon was the final act. The enemy both external and internal has been defeated. In 'Beasts of England' we expressed our longing for a better society in days to come. But that society has now been established. Clearly this song has no longer any purpose." Frightened though they were, some of the animals might possibly have protested, but at this moment the sheep set up their usual bleating of "Four legs good, two legs bad," which went on for several minutes and put an end to the discussion. So "Beasts of England" was heard no more. In its place Minimus, the poet, had composed another song which began: Animal Farm, Animal Farm, Never through me shalt thou come to harm! and this was sung every Sunday morning after the hoisting of the flag. But somehow neither the words nor the tune ever seemed to the animals to come up to "Beasts of England." How does the introduction of Minimus the poet support the author's purpose? Minimus represents the Soviet people’s determination to defend the country against attack. Minimus represents the producers of state-approved songs and slogans in Stalin's era. Minimus represents the true feelings of all Soviet people and their commitment to communism. Minimus represents the underlying loyalty that Soviet people had to Stalin despite his flaws.

*QUICKEST ANSWER GETS BRIANLIEST* I HAVE LIMITED TIME HELP ASAP PLEASE Read this excerpt from White Fang. White Fang saw his mother taken aboard Three Eagles’ canoe, and tried to follow her. A blow from Three Eagles knocked him backward to the land. The canoe shoved off. He sprang into the water and swam after it, deaf to the sharp cries of Grey Beaver to return. Even a man-animal, a god, White Fang ignored, such as the terror he was in of losing his mother. But gods are accustomed to being obeyed, and Grey Beaver wrathfully launched a canoe in pursuit. When he overtook White Fang, he reached down and by the nape of the neck lifted him clear of the water. He did not deposit him at once in the bottom of the canoe. Holding him suspended with one hand, with the other hand he proceeded to give him a beating. (The conflict in this excerpt is important to the plot development because Grey Beaver punishes White Fang until he becomes violent and ceases to care about the consequences.) (White Fang gives up and becomes a weak character after being abandoned by his mother.) (Kiche is hurt in the outburst and is returned to the camp because of her injuries).( White Fang learns to survive the loss of his mother and the great challenge of human punishment.)

Read this line from the text: Perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. What idea does the word transient suggest in this text? Humans are as temporary as insects that live only a few days. Human behavior is much like that of insects. Like insects, humans have not spent ample time securing their future. Unlike insects, humans need water to survive their harsh environment.
