WHAT IS THE TONE OF THIS POEM?

Let them be as flowers,
always watered, fed, guarded, admired,
but harnessed to a pot of dirt.

I'd rather be a tall, ugly weed,
clinging on cliffs, like an eagle
wind-wavering above high, jagged rocks.

To have broken through the surface of stone,
to live, to feel exposed to the madness
of the vast, eternal sky.
To be swayed by the breezes of an ancient sea,
carrying my soul, my seed,
beyond the mountains of time or into the abyss of the bizarre.

I'd rather be unseen, and if
then shunned by everyone,
than to be a pleasant-smelling flower,
growing in clusters in the fertile valley,
where they're praised, handled, and plucked
by greedy, human hands.

I'd rather smell of musty, green stench
than of sweet, fragrant lilac.
If I could stand alone, strong and free,
I'd rather be a tall, ugly weed.

What two words best describe the tone of the poem?

a
Somber and serious
b
Fearful and happy
c
Threatening and optimistic
d
Condescending and passionate

Answers

Answer 1
The answer is D condescending and passionate

3. Shelby and Shannon are both plumbers. Shelby charges $15 per hour
whilst Shannon charges $2 per pipe fixed. Shelby fixes 10 pipes per hour. A
hotel wants to hire a plumber to fix 40 pipes. Which plumber should the
hotel hire?
O A Shelby
O B. Shannon
C. Both
D. None

Answers

Answer:

A. Shelby

Explanation:

This is because in an hour Shelby can fix 10 pipes and will charge only $15. This means that Shelby will be able to fix 40 pipes in 4 hours and will charge $60. On the other hand, Shannon will charge $2 for every pipe fixed; hence 40 pipes will be equivalent to $80. After comparison, it becomes obvious that Shelby should be hired as the hotel will be able to save $20.

The major objective of the paragraph in "Eileen Collins—First NASA's Female Shuttle Commander to Lead Next Shuttle Mission" that begins with "On Becoming an Astronaut:" is to enlighten readers about the Mercury astronauts and what they achieved in space. As a result, option B is correct.

Who was Eileen Collins?

Eileen Marie Collins is a retired NASA astronaut and US Air Force colonel. Collins, an experienced flight instructor and test pilot, became the Space Shuttle's first female pilot and mission commander.

Collins became the first female space shuttle pilot when the Discovery space shuttle's eight-day mission concluded in February 1995. On that voyage, they had their first meeting with the Soviet space station Mir. Collins was the head of the company in 1999.

Collins is a colonel in the United States Air Force and a former astronaut. Eileen M. Collins, a retired astronaut, and colonel in the United States Air Force have retired. She left the Air Force in January 2005 after a distinguished 28-year career, and NASA in May 2006. As a result, option B is correct.

Answer:

The lines that foreshadow Romeo's tragic end are found in option 4:

O God, I have an ill-diving soul!

Methinks I see thee, now thou art below,

As one dead in the bottom of a tom

Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale!

Explanation:

"Romeo and Juliet" is a famous tragic play by William Shakespeare in which two young lovers die due to the rivalry between their families. At several points in the play, Shakespeare uses foreshadowing to reveal the tragic ends that await the characters. Foreshadowing is a technique in which a piece of information is given to the audience that will later unfold into something important, however trivial it looked at the beginning. The lines above are said by Juliet, and she seems to be aware of her own ability to predict. She looks at Romeo and sees a dead body, which foreshadows his end.

Answers

organize this question i don't get it

Answer: All the given situations are -

* * * A neighbourhood has 27 cats and 12 dogs. So, the ratio of cats to dogs is

Explanation:= 27 : 12 = 9 : 4. That is, for every 9 cats, there are 4 dogs.

Thus, the situation correctly states the ratio.

* * *  In a class of 30 students, there are 16 boys and 14 girls. So, the ratio of girls to boys is = 14  : 16 = 7 : 8, because there are 7 girls for every 8 boys.

Thus, the situation does not state the ratio correctly.

* * * The won-lost ratio for a baseball team is 36 : 18 = 2 : 1. That is, the team won 2 games for each game lost.

Thus, the ratio does not state the situation correctly.

* * * The number of horses in a kingdom is 100, and the number of knights is 50. The ratio of knights to horses is = 50 : 100 = 1 :2. That is, There is one knight for every two horses.

Thus, the ratio states the situation correctly.

* * * Fifty-two out of the 88 keys on a piano are white, so ratio of white to black piano is = 52 : (88-52) = 52 : 36 = 13 : 9. That is, for every 13 white keys, there are 9 black keys.

Thus, the ratio does not state the situation correctly.

Answer:

Among the options given, the one that best completes the sentence "If I had a lot of money, I ... around the world" is:

2. would travel

This question requires knowledge about the second conditional.

What is the second conditional?The second conditional is used to talk about hypothetical situations, that is, something we wish would be true but isn't. The structure of the second conditional is the following:

If + simple past + would / could / might + main verb

For example, suppose you want to buy a new car, but you don't have extra money to do it, and you even have a debt to pay. Some second conditional sentences we can form with that information are;If I had extra money, I would buy a new car.If I didn't have a debt to pay, I would buy a new car.

With the information above in mind, we can choose number 2 to complete the sentence: If I had a lot of money, I would travel around the world.
