(The story of the Bad Little Boy by mark twain)

Which of the following best describes Jim's mother? (p2)
O thoughtful and very affectionate
O detached, careless, and abusive
O devoutly religious and god-fearing
O wasting away from a lung disease

Answer:

✔️detached, careless, and abusive

Explanation:

The sentence that best describes Jim's mother is "detached, careless, and abusive."

From "The Story Of The Bad Little Boy" by Mark Twain, Jim's mother is known to be careless and abusive. She often spanks Jim to sleep and boxes his ears.

Below is an excerpt from the story that supports my answer:

"She was rather stout than otherwise, and she was not pious; moreover, she was not anxious on Jim's account. She said if he were to break his neck it wouldn't be much loss. She always spanked Jim to sleep, and she never kissed him good-night; on the contrary, she boxed his ears when she was ready to leave him."

The above excerpt shows how abusive Jim's mother is.

Therefore, Option B is the correct answer.

Winter
Winter may be a beautiful season visually, but it is not the easiest to experience. During winter the ground lies cold and hard beneath the surface of snow and frost. The sleeping trees shed all their leaves and appear brown and bare. The dry stems of dead plants rustle in the strong winds. The air turns bitterly cold as the sunlight fades and nights become longer. Most animals hibernate during the season, while others seek shelterin warm places. As a result, you see fewer wild animals in the winter.

Now the examinations began. First the immigrants were examined by two doctors of the United States Health Service. One doctor looked for physical and mental abnormalities. When a case aroused suspicion, the immigrant received a chalk mark on the right shoulder for further inspection: L for lameness, H for heart, X for mental defects, and so on.
The second doctor watched for contagious and infectious diseases. He looked especially for infections of the scalp and at the eyelids for symptoms of trachoma, a blinding disease. Since trachoma caused more than half of all medical detentions, the doctor was greatly feared. He stood directly in the immigrant’s path. With a swift movement, he would grab the immigrant’s eyelid, pull it up, and peer beneath it. If all was well, the immigrant was passed on.

Identify the connotative meaning of each word based on the context of the poem.

A free bird leaps

on the back of the wind

and floats downstream

till the current ends

and dips his wing

in the orange sun rays

and dares to claim the sky.



But a bird that stalks

down his narrow cage

can seldom see through

his bars of rage

his wings are clipped and

his feet are tied

so he opens his throat to sing.



The caged bird sings

with a fearful trill

of things unknown

but longed for still

and his tune is heard

on the distant hill

for the caged bird

sings of freedom.



The free bird thinks of another breeze

and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees

and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn

and he names the sky his own.



But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams

his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream

his wings are clipped and his feet are tied

so he opens his throat to sing.



The caged bird sings

with a fearful trill

of things unknown

but longed for still

and his tune is heard

on the distant hill

for the caged bird

sings of freedom.

Read this excerpt from The Dark Game. But Elizabeth wanted to do more than simply minister and comfort the wounded. A Unionist, believing in "one nation . . . Indivisible," she needed to do more. When she learned of Virginia's secession from the Union in 1861, she felt, in the words of one historian, "profoundly betrayed." She believed that the secessionists did not represent the majority of the citizens of Virginia. She was compelled to act in any way she could to help repair a nation torn apart. How does this excerpt develop the central idea that espionage during the Civil War was often carried out by untrained citizens? It enhances the reader's understanding by explaining why training was unnecessary. It changes the reader's perception of what information a spy was able to obtain. It explains an ordinary person's motivation for conducting espionage against the enemy. It adds moral complexity to espionage, due to the use of secret and dangerous methods.
