America has fostered a culture in which many feel they should not have to work to achieve results. Some employers complain that recent graduates are lazy and unmotivated. The business world, in particular, has lowered its expectations of new college graduates entering the workforce. The same jobs require fewer skills and less education than they did in previous decades. While this phenomenon may trace its origins to the fact that businesses received less-qualified candidates, it has turned into a vicious cycle. The fewer qualifications the business world demands, the less education our youth pursue and the lower educational standards become.

What type of paragraph organization is used in the passage?

Answers

Answer 1
The paragraph organization exemplified here is one of making general statements and then giving particular examples to illustrate the meaning of the statements so going from the general to the particular I would say.

B. Aileen leaves her mother to be taken to a new home.
C. Aileen is discovered by the little girl as she hides in the garret.

Answers

As for me, the climax of the story occurs when D. Aileen saves the baby from the fire in the nursery. Climax is the point of the story at which tension or action reaches its highest peak. The situation described in option D creates a very chilly and tensed mood, as the character acts like a hero in an extremely dangerous situation.

Thay's actually false, perhaps a biography might have some exaggeration things but for the msot part a biography is considered non fiction because it is a story of a real person's life told by someone else and an autobiography is a true story of a real person's life told by that real person themself like a documentation of what they did so that is false biographies and autobiographies are non fiction.

The American realist movement began in 1865, at the end of the Civil War. How might the war have affected the literature of that time period? Give at least two characteristics of realism in your answer and explain how the war may have affected each.

Answers


The romantic period, which preceded the realist period, glorified war. The Civil War, however, resulted in the loss of many lives on both sides of the war. The horrific reality of the Civil War left no room for such an association in realist works. Realist writers such as Bierce, writing after the war, dwelled on the painful and gory aspects of war. The Civil War also led to a cynical and sometimes bleak outlook on life, which realist writing often reveals.

Read the following excerpt from "The Gift of the Magi" and answer the question.

A furnished flat at $8 per week. It did not exactly beggar description, but it certainly had that word on the lookout for the mendicancy squad. In the vestibule below was a letter-box into which no letter would go, and an electric button from which no mortal finger could coax a ring.
The passage above provides a description of which story element?

character
climax
rising action
setting

Answers

It sounds to me like they are talking about the setting

Answer: The correct answer is setting.

Explanation:

    Briefly, the Gift of the Magi is the story of a couple who had no money to buy each other's Christmas gifts. She sells her hair and buys a watch chain for her husband and he sells his watch and buys her hair combs for her beautiful hair. After giving each other's gifts, they soon realizes that they are useless. She no longer has her hair to use the combs and he no longer has his watch to enjoy the wacth chain. However, their gifts appear out of love and sacrifice.

   In the excerpt, the author gives a description of the place (setting) where the couple lives, a very modest cheap home. Their house is so simple that it's not worth a description. It seems to be a lonely place for them, they don't get any letters ( ...below was a letter-box into which no letter would go), and nobody visits them ( an electric button from which no mortal finger could coax a ring). This excerpt sets the mood for the story.

5. Just then, my friend's cell phone rang, and she began ______ through her purse to find it.

A. going
B. looking
C. digging

Is it B, Looking?

Answers

The correct answer is C, digging, which depicts a hurried and intensive search similar to the act of moving things around in soil, appropriate for the context of frantically trying to find a ringing cell phone in a purse.

Just then, my friend's cell phone rang, and she began digging through her purse to find it. The correct answer is C, digging. This verb implies a more vigorous or hurried search, often associated with movements that resemble making a hole or moving things around intensively, as you would with soil. This can be supported by the example that mentions rummaging, a synonym for digging in this context, in a paragraph where someone is searching desperately for their phone: "With the intention of getting my phone I rummaged around my bag..." The verb 'looking' from option B is too passive for the scenario described, in which immediacy and a frantic search are implied by the context.

Answers

Answer:

C. Economic prosperity followed World War I

Explanation:

The outbreak of World War I marked the end of a stage in the international economy characterized by a sharp increase in trade in goods and services, and by the flow of capital and migratory flows from Europe to the other side of the Atlantic. Although few perceived it at that time, the Great War cracked the system by putting an end to British hegemony and strengthening protectionist tendencies that had been accentuated in Europe, the United States and Japan since the end of the 19th century.

Although the First World War damaged the economy of many of the European countries, as a result of the reconstruction plans and the rise of the industry, the economies returned to rise and became phosphorous until the great crisis.

A. Sandra was refusing to play anymore.


B. Sandra remained in control of her emotions.


C. Sandra was also angry.


D. Sandra kept playing the game.

Answers

In this case, "kept her composure" means that Sandra remained in control of her emotions (B).

The word composure means "to stay calm." When Sandra remained in control of her emotions and did not become angry, she showed an example of keeping composure. 
The options A and C are opposites of the word "composure" because they are not calm actions. D also cannot be the correct choice because continuing to play a game is not relevant to how calm Sandra was.

b. Sandra remained in control of her emotion
