Tone in poetry is the speaker's attitude towards the subject or reader, expressed through word choice and style. It forms a trust between the poet and audience, allowing one to become immersed in the poem's experience. Different tones evoke different emotional responses and are critical for understanding a poem's depth.
Explanation:In poetry, tone refers to the attitude that the poem's speaker exhibits towards the subject or the audience. It is conveyed through the choice of words and style, and it greatly influences the reader's perception of the poem. The tone can be discerned by the language used, whether the poem employs a serious, sarcastic, grieving, or happy demeanor. It also incorporates the nuance of the poet's voice, including authenticity and trustworthiness, which can ultimately enthrall the reader.
Poet Billy Collins highlights the shift towards tone in modern poetry after the traditional structures of meter and rhyme became less prevalent. He emphasizes that tone of voice helps establish a relationship of trust between the reader and the poem. It can change within just a few lines and is critical for understanding the poem's deeper layers and emotional impact.
The choice of words, the order in which they are placed, and the tone they create are all crucial in eliciting an emotional response from the reader. For instance, the tone of Shakespeare's 'Hamlet' is distinctly different from that of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream,' with the former being dark and scathing and the latter more dreamlike and content. Understanding the tone is essential in engaging with poetry at a more profound level.

"Right threadbare was his overcoat"
The overcoat was threadbare.
The character is poor since his jacket is in this state
Answer:
In this description of the clerk , the word threadbare tells the audience that this character is poor. The reason for his situation is that he did not get any job from the Catholic Church.
Explanation:
In the general prologue of Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales", the narrator is giving a general introduction of the travelers along with their vocations before they proceed with their own tales. The following excerpt
"But he looked hollow and went soberly.
Right threadbare was his overcoat; for he
Had got him yet no churchly benefice…" is a description of the clerk, who according to the narrator, is from Oxford. But he hasn't got the education that will enable him to get a proper office job nor does he have any job or income from the church. So, he is poor and his coat is the example of his condition "threadbare".

The r in occur is doubled before adding -ence.
This happens quite a lot in verbs e.g run to running. It is because you double the last consonant in a one-syllable noun for it to become a verb. (Keep in mind there are exceptions to this rule.)
Answer:
yes it becomes occurrence

Which student is most clearly determining new research goals?
Answer:
D. Riku

Riku is the student who is most clearly determining new research goals. In these lines, we learn that Riku and Victor are discussing what the concept of "dystopia" is. However, they seem to be struggling to reach a conclusion. Eventually, Riku states that they should each research the definition separately, and then compare notes. This means that it is Riku who is setting new research goals.

And when it rains like my tears, but from clouds in the sky,
I get to see the softness in your blue broken eyes.

Read the following poem:
Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
Which word best describes the line endings of this poem ?
A. End-stopped
B. Enjambment
C. Iambic
D. Blank
The line endings of the provided poem are 'end-stopped' because each line finishes with its own punctuation, signaling a pause or stop.
The line endings of the poem 'Roses are red. Violets are blue.' are best described as end-stopped. An end-stopped line is a line in poetry that ends in punctuation, in this case a period, which indicates a pause or stop at the end of the line. This is in contrast to enjambment, where the sentence or clause continues onto the next line without terminal punctuation. The poem provided does not show enjambment, as each line concludes with its own complete idea and punctuation mark. Therefore, the correct answer is A. End-stopped.

Which is an example of evidence in a body paragraph?
A. When Juliet says, "What's in a name? That which we call a rose/By any other name would smell as sweet, she is basically saying that names only have the significance you give to them.
B. Through the examples given above, one can determine that Global Warming is a serious issue that must be addressed immediately.
C. Graduating from high school is important for many reasons.
D. An example of the effects of Global Warming is an increase in the number and severity of natural disasters.
Answer:
When Juliet says, "What's in a name? That which we call a rose/By any other name would smell as sweet, she is basically saying that names only have the significance you give to them.
Option D provides a clear example of evidence in a body paragraph by citing specific consequences of Global Warming, illustrating a factual basis for the claim made in the essay.
An example of evidence in a body paragraph would be Option D: "An example of the effects of Global Warming is an increase in the number and severity of natural disasters." This statement provides a specific detail that supports a claim, showing a clear link between global warming and its consequences.
Evidence should closely relate to the argument or claim being made in the essay. For instance, if the argument is that global warming has spurred the growth of green industries, suitable evidence would include examples of businesses that have emerged as a result of climate change concerns, rather than unrelated attacks on eco-friendly products.
It's important when selecting evidence to use examples the audience can understand and relate to, which helps to create an emotional connection or pathos in the writing. Extreme examples could harm credibility, while relevant, typical examples will foster trust and make the argument more convincing to the audience.
How is this excerpt an example of irony?
The excerpt from Part Two of Trifles is an example of irony because the lighthearted and humorous tone of the County Attorney is the opposite of what you would expect during a serious investigation into a crime scene.
What is the reason for this?
In the text, while discussing Mrs. Wright's actions regarding the quilt, the County Attorney's facetious comment about quilting and the subsequent reference to knotting by Mrs. Hale creates a contrast between the gravity of the situation (investigating a potential murder) and the seemingly trivial topic of quilting. This incongruity between the serious nature of the investigation and the triviality of the conversation adds an ironic layer to the dialogue.
In this context, irony is employed to highlight the gendered perspectives of the men and women involved in the investigation. The men dismiss the women's concerns and focus on seemingly insignificant details, showcasing a lack of understanding and empathy for the gravity of Mrs. Wright's situation.
So, the irony lies in the fact that the men are oblivious to the deeper, more meaningful aspects of the case, as reflected in their casual conversation about quilting. Therefore, the Option A is correct.
The complete question is:
Read the excerpt from part two of Trifles.
COUNTY ATTORNEY (facetiously). Well, Henry, at least we found out that she was not going to quilt it. She was going to—what is it you call it, ladies!
MRS. HALE (her hand against her pocket). We call it—knot it, Mr. Henderson.
How is this excerpt an example of irony?
The lighthearted and humorous tone of the County Attorney is the opposite of what you would expect during a situation like this.
A show of interest in the quilt on the men’s behalf was a sudden twist of what would normally be expected.
The County Attorney appeared to be asking a question about the quilt, but he was actually asking another question entirely.
It appeared as though Mrs. Hale was answering the question, but she actually meant something quite different with her response

Explain this quote
“ we learn wisdom from failure much more than from success. We often discover what will do by finding out what will not do ; and probably he who would never made a mistake never made a discovery.”
we learn failure so we can learn the mistake we learn and be success
“ we learn wisdom from failure much more than from success
This set of quotes suggests that we learn more from our failure as we learn much more and it is scientifically proven so.
We often discover what will do by finding out what will not do
This set of quotes explain to break down the set of steps and focus of eliminating the incorrect answer which don't seem right.
and probably he who would never made a mistake never made a discovery.”
This is but controversial but to me this seems to be mistake is something we grasp and nothing to be afraid. This is saying that mistake leads to success and without taking them there is no learning
Summarise this is we learn from mistake more than we get answers correct
The Interview
Ashley desperately tried not to fidget as the well-dressed woman sitting behind the mahogany desk stared at her over black wire-rimmed glasses. The woman’s lips were set in a harsh line as she glanced down and, once again, reviewed Ashley’s volunteer application for museum tour guide aide. Every now and again, the woman would hmmm or say, “Impressive.” Ashley wasn’t quite sure what could be so impressive; she never had a job before—unless you count babysitting on weekends. At those jobs, she had only made $8 an hour, so she wasn’t sure they really counted as jobs. Although they hadn’t paid her like “real” jobs, they had certainly felt real enough.
Maybe I should have expanded upon the numerous difficulties I had to overcome during my babysitting jobs, she thought, wishing that idea had occurred to her when she had answered the questionnaire. Three little lines of space was hardly enough room to adequately describe her experiences. Handling the havoc of babysitting had required all of her youthful energy, ability, and skill. Her mom had called those jobs enriching and invaluable achievements. Her dad had said they were questionable miscalculations, similar to deciding to hike the Rocky Mountains: it wasn’t until you were halfway up that you realized that you should have said “no” instead.
“You seem like a calm person,” the woman said as Ashley fought the nearly irresistible compulsion to smooth down her hair, a nervous gesture that would have proven the woman’s assumption incorrect.
Ashley looked at the woman’s nametag before responding so she could politely address the woman by name, per her mom’s advice. Ms. Sinclair, the nametag said. Ashley tried not to frown in her sudden anxiety. The receptionist had been Chandra, the security guard had been Isaac, and the other employees she had met between the entrance to the gift shop and the door to the office had been Jolie, Mercedes, and Dillon.
“Thank you, Ms. Sinclair,” Ashley said as confidently as she could, though she was understandably very intimidated.
“It is not enough to be calm or sedate,” Ms. Sinclair replied in a stern voice. “It is not enough to be civil or courteous. In order to do this job, you have to have great restraint. You must be able to smile with grace even as a horde of elephants charges toward you. Things can become quite hectic around here, and not everyone can handle erupting chaos.”
Glasses are a really easy fix. They're the first things that somebody sees on your face. So they should really be making a statement about how you want to look. There are glasses that are really aging, like granny glasses, wire glasses and glasses that are rimless. But when you wear a young, modern frame that's rectangular, in a tortoise shell or plastic, your frames are very edgy. They have a lot of style. Right now, a really thick temple is really hot. You're giving up your style if you're just wearing one of those classic frames. They don't say anything, those classic frames. They just say old. A young person, a teenager or a 20-year-old, who wears glasses would not wear one of those rimless frames.
What types of figurative language and imagery are used in the poem smile?
Can you please send me a picture of the poem so I can help you
phrase in the poem presents an image of freedom?
A“stationary blasts” (line 6)
B“giddy prospect” (line 13)
C“unfettered clouds” (line 14)
D“blossoms upon one tree” (line 17)
Answer:
c) Unfettered clouds
Explanation:
The word "Unfettered" means not confined or restricted. The phrase, “unfettered clouds”, is symbolic of the divine power of nature and the freedom to exercise it's rights in it's time.
None of the other phrases in the poem is symbolic of freedom. The one that blossoms just upon one tree has it's freedom limited to that tree.
What does it mean when someone is dependence on you?
When one person is dependent on another, they rely on that person for survival. Their needs being met is dependent on the other person fulfilling their needs. For example, a toddler is dependent on a parent because the child requires the parent to give them food and shelter. The toddler cannot buy a house themselves nor can they get themselves food. They must rely on the parent to shelter them and give them food that is safe to eat.

Read the sentence. We wrote in our journals for twenty minutes each day. Which type of phrase or clause is underlined in the sentence?
Adverbial phrase
ExplanationWe wrote in our journals for twenty minutes each day.
The group of words "in our journal" is acting as an adverbial modifying -giving more information about- the verb wrote. Specifically, it is telling us more information about where the action took place; it is answering the question: where did we write? In our journals. Now, it is not a clause because it doesn't have a subject and a verb, so we can conclude that it is an adverbial phrase.
