This question is missing the options and is, therefore, incomplete. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
Read the two excerpts about Pilar from Dreaming in Cuban.
Excerpt 1: They called me brujita, little witch. I stared at them, tried to make them go away.
Excerpt 2: Another woman, an elderly mulatta, claimed that her hair was falling out from the menacing stares the baby gave her.
Which statement is the best synthesis for the two excerpts?
A. Most Cuban women rely on the services of nannies when raising their children.
B. Supernatural experiences are frequently dismissed as being coincidental in Cuban culture.
C. Inexplicable events are sometimes interpreted as supernatural experiences in Cuban culture.
D. Many Cuban children remember the earliest events of their childhood.
Answer:
The statement which is the best synthesis for the two excerpts is:
C. Inexplicable events are sometimes interpreted as supernatural experiences in Cuban culture.
Explanation:
"Dreaming in Cuban" is a novel by author Cristina García. It features three generations of a single family and the plot moves between the United States and Cuba. The two excerpts we are analyzing here show how superstition can play an important role in some countries' cultures. Both of them represent how inexplicable events are sometimes interpreted as supernatural experiences in Cuban culture. Pilar is called by others a "little witch", and she tries to make them go away just with her stare. Besides that, a woman attributes her hair loss to the way a baby stares at her. Instead of trying to find plausible and realistic explanations for events, people seem to just assume, superstitiously.
Answer:
C. Inexplicable events are sometimes interpreted as supernatural experiences in Cuban culture.

Select the correct answer. Identify the sentence with the misplaced modifier. A. We shivered as the wolves howled by the campfire. B. Dogs who bark often are protective of their owners. C. Rachel likes to start her day with a cold glass of lemonade.
Answer:
A. We shivered as the wolves howled by the campfire.
Explanation:
Modifiers are phrases, words, or clauses that describe sentences. Misplaced modifiers are modifiers that are used incorrectly and don't make logical sense.
For example, try to find the misplaced modifier in this sentence: "The tan faced Daniel with a number 2 on his face wrote on the paper with a pencil." The misplaced modifier is "the tan faced... with a number 2." Normally this would describe a pencil, right? It describes the wrong thing, Daniel's face.
The misplaced modifier does not have to have a rightful place in the sentence, it just has to be wrong for the thing it describes. For example: "The 10,000 foot tall Erik ate a hot dog."
"10,000 foot" does not have a rightful place in the sentence, but it is still illogical and wrong, so it is misplaced. Now, let's take a look at the answers A, B, and C.
A: This is the sentence with the misplaced modifier. It is illogical that people would shiver-what you normally do when you are cold- while next to a campfire. Being near a campfire would make you warm-therefore making you not shiver- so that is a misplaced modifier.
B. This isn't illogical. It makes sense that dogs who bark are protective of their owners. It isn't illogical that dogs bark. So, this modifier makes sense.
C. Lemonade is usually served cold and in a glass, so this makes sense too. There isn't anything illogical going on in this sentence, so this modifier makes sense.
Misplaced modifiers are often hidden in plain sight. You don't know how to find one unless you know what a misplaced modifier is. Hopefully you understand misplaced modifiers now!

The American economic review has been producing articles on a range of economic topics since 1911. In order to be considered for publication, articles must be original work not published anywhere else. What kind of magazine is the American economic review?

A scholarly magazine is characterized as the type of magazines that are authored by professionals or experts in a specific field or discipline. Such magazines are considered an authentic source of information for various studies or further researches as it offers first-hand data or information without having any chances of bias, prejudice, or falsity.

Explanation
In Farewell Address, George Washington most hopes to be remembered as a president whose long years of service outweighed any faults he may have had. Which passage from the text most strongly supports that hope? Question 7 options: a) “Though, in reviewing the incidents of my administration, I am unconscious of intentional error, I am nevertheless too sensible of my defects not to think it probable that I may have committed many errors.” b) “Who can doubt that, in the course of time and things, the fruits of such a plan would richly repay any temporary advantages which might be lost by a steady adherence to it?” c) “I shall also carry with me the hope that my country will never cease to view them with indulgence; and that, after forty five years of my life dedicated to its service with an upright zeal, the faults of incompetent abilities will be consigned to oblivion, as myself must soon be to the mansions of rest.” d) “...I anticipate with pleasing expectation that retreat in which I promise myself to realize, without alloy, the sweet enjoyment of partaking, in the midst of my fellow-citizens, the benign influence of good laws under a free government, the ever-favorite object of my heart, and the happy reward, as I trust, of our mutual cares, labors, and dangers.”
Answer:
The passage that most strongly supports that hope is:
c) “I shall also carry with me the hope that my country will never cease to view them with indulgence; and that, after forty five years of my life dedicated to its service with an upright zeal, the faults of incompetent abilities will be consigned to oblivion, as myself must soon be to the mansions of rest.”
Explanation:
First, let's remember what we are looking for. We want a passage in which Washington says he wishes people will forgive his mistakes and faults due to his dedication as a president. When we analyze what is said in letter C, that is precisely what we find. Washington is saying that he hopes people will be able to look at his past faults with tolerance - my country will never cease to view them with indulgence. He hopes his long years of service will outweigh such faults, causing people to forget (or forgive) them - after forty five years of my life dedicated to its service with an upright zeal, the faults of incompetent abilities will be consigned to oblivion. Therefore, the best answer is letter C.

What word best describes the tone of this excerpt from "The Fall of the House of Usher" by Edgar Allan Poe?
I looked upon the scene before me-upon the mere house, and the simple landscape features of the domain-upon the bleak walls-
upon the vacant eye-like windows-upon a few rank sedges-and upon a few white trunks of decayed trees-with an utter depression of
soul which I can compare to no earthly sensation more properly than to the after-dream of the reveller upon opium--the bitter lapse into
everyday life-the hideous dropping off of the veil. There was an iciness, a sinking, a sickening of the heart-an unredeemed dreariness
of thought which no goading of the imagination could torture into aught of the sublime. What was it-paused to think-what was it that
so unnerved me in the contemplation of the House of Usher? It was a mystery all insoluble: nor could I grapple with the shadowy fancies
that crowded upon me as i pondered. I was forced to fall back upon the unsatisfactory conclusion, that while, beyond doubt, there are
combinations of very simple natural objects which have the power of thus affecting us, still the analysis of this power lies among
considerations beyond our depth. It was possible, I reflected, that a mere different arrangement of the particulars of the scene of the
details of the picture, would be sufficient to modify, or perhaps to annihilate its capacity for sorrowful impression and acting upon this
idea, I reined my horse to the precipitous brink of a black and lurid tarn that lay in unruffled lustre by the dwelling, and gazed down-but
with a shudder even more thrilling than before-upon the remodelled and inverted images of the gray sedge, and the ghastly tree-stems,
and the vacant and eye-like windows.
OA
admiration
B.
terror
hope
D.
discovery
E.
loss
Answer:
D). Discovery.
Explanation:
The tone is demonstrated as the author's approach or attitude towards a specific subject matter which is clearly reflected through his/her word-choice and use of language. It primarily functions to provide the readers with a perspective to view the text and shape their responses or experiences.
In the given excerpt, the word 'discovery' most aptly describes its tone as it aims to display what the author found at the scene('landscape features of the domain-upon the bleak walls', 'vacant eye-like windows', 'a few rank sedges', etc.) and reveals his feelings of 'utter depression.' He is unable to analyze that 'what it was that unnerved him' and concludes that 'it was an insoluble mystery that was due to the distinct combinations and arrangements of the natural objects that have affected him. Thus, option D is the correct answer.

Read the excerpt from the poem "Harlem" by Langston Hughes. What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? * * * Maybe it just sags like a heavy load. Or does it explode? According to the poem, the speaker feels that the relationship between whites and African Americans is
Answer:
tense and unequal.
Explanation:
The excerpt from Langston Hughes' poem "Harlem" shows a speaker who feels that the relationship between whites and African Americans is tense and uneven. This is made clear when the dream of equality for African Americans is always postponed, because whites continue to be favored by society. As a result, African Americans are increasingly distant from being treated as equals and this tense and uncomfortable relationship, where their dreams weigh, sink, dry and explode.
According to the poem, the speaker feels that the relationship between whites and African Americans is:
tense and unequal.
Let's explore why the above is the correct answer by looking at the poem "Harlem".
About "Harlem""Harlem" is a poem by Langston Hughes. In this poem, Hughes reveals that the relationship that exists between whites and the African Americans is tense and not even.
This has resulted to the fact that African Americans are not being treated as equals but are distanced.This brings about an uncomfortable and tense relationship.Thus, the above answer is the correct answer.

While Ulysses shows himself active and eager in every way to be going home from Calypso’s island, discuss, in no less than seventy-five words, why he shows himself more mature and growing in character in his dealings with Nausicaa and her servant girls than he does when he’s battling Neptune’s storm.
Ulysses went through many experiences before meeting Nausicaa and his servants. These experiences showed him that not everything is resolved on the basis of force, but many things are resolved in a less radical way, especially when you are in a strange territory, alone and without allies.
The moment when Ulysses faces the Neptune storm is a moment when he is proud, proud and arrogant for being a great and victorious warrior. At that moment Ulysses is immature and this provokes the wrath of the gods. However, when he encounters Nausicaa, that arrogance is no longer so evident, due to all the difficulties he faced along the way and which became much more difficult due to his immature behavior. That is why at that moment, Ulysses decides to act cautiously, which shows a great maturation of the character. This caution is the result of the unpredictability of the region and of the events, which Ulysses has learned to respect.

why do Brutus and antony speak to the crowd in act III, scene ii of Julius caesar
The populace demands an explanation for Caesar's passing. In a speech, Brutus justifies the killing of Caesar by saying that, despite the fact that he respected Caesar as a friend, it was necessary to do so in order to further Rome's interests.
Why does Brutus allow Antony to speak?Brutus feels that allowing Antony to speak at Caesar's funeral will assist the conspirators. Brutus tells Antony that he can speak after his speech to the Roman people in which he will outline the causes of Caesar's death.
As he enters the stage, Artemidorus reads aloud a letter he sent to Caesar cautioning him to be watchful of Brutus, Casca, and the other conspirators.
In his speech to the audience, Brutus reassures them that they can put their faith in his integrity. He claims that his love for Rome overcame his passion for a particular man, not because he did not care about Caesar. Caesar, he claims, was excellent but also ambitious, and it was for this reason.

In what way is the title of the poem no! a good one?
Answer:
Why the title of the poem 'no!' is a befitting one
this is all you need to know: By choosing the title 'no!' draws a readers attention, asking questions like what does it mean by no or why, what happened and much more leaving them no choice but to read the book.
below is just an essay in case of school
Explanation:
(I'm writing this in an essay format)
It is hard work to write a poem, but it is also hard to find a suitable or befitting title for the poem, this is because the title of a poem is what interests the viewers. Growing up we read books which were really predictable and as a matter of fact some of the titles already explained the book itself but as children we were so to say clueless of the title, but as we grow in age some of us realized that they prefer an unpredictable title to fit a story and not one which give spoilers to the end titles like: Donald's surprise party or Morgan learns to eat.
So the poet who carefully examined and wrote their poem realised that the book was only going to be judged by the cover and a cover that is full is not worth the time or money, but choosing the title 'no!' draws a readers attention, asking questions like what does it mean by no or why, what happened and much more leaving them no choice but to read the book. Using only word but dragging the attention of many people, such skill.
