The selection from this semester that is considered one of the first works of English literature is __________.
Answer:
The Question is Incomplete as it does not provide a list of English Literary works for the semester in question. However, most college level literature courses use the same reading list and so the complete question can become:
The selection from this semester that is considered one of the first works of English Literature is:
- Beowulf
- The Canterbury Tales
- Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
- A Midsummer Night's Dream
- Hamlet
- and other options can be available for the succeeding eras but as the question is only interested in the first works of English Literature, the list will not be fully written here.
The correct answer is: Beowulf
Explanation:
The reason that Beowulf is considered the most famous example of the first works of English Literature is because, despite that it was written in Old English, it influenced modern day English, and poetry writing to a great extent. Epic poetry at the time was very common, and Beowulf was written as a heroic poem in Anglo-Saxon, which is an ancestor of the English Language. Thus, it was the first of its kind to have survived and served as a predecessor of what is considered today English Literature. This Epic tale is generally taught in most high school and early college courses as it serves as a very important beginning milestone for English Literature.

Answer:

Linguistics is the scientific study of language that involves analysing language form, language meaning, and language in context.
Grammar is the whole system and structure of a language or of languages in general, usually taken as consisting of syntax and morphology, and sometimes also phonology and semantics.

How can you best re-write this sentence in a descriptive way: "Rita was happy when she received an A on her history paper."
Answer:
D). "When Rita saw the bright red 'A' at the top of her paper, her heart leapt with joy."
Explanation:
A Descriptive statement is demonstrated as the statement that involves descriptions and details that possess the qualities to evoke the senses of the readers/audience and propose a sensory experience to them(through this description).
As per the question, option B best re-writes the given statement in a descriptive manner as the use of descriptive words like 'red', 'leapt' propose a sensory experience to the readers and elicit the senses (appeal to 'sight' through the description of 'bright red A') that lead to evoke her emotions(as reflected by the phrase 'heart leapt with joy'). Thus, option D is the correct answer.
In the "Dedication," de Vaca refers to the Native Americans as "the numerous, barbarous people." Why does he use the term barbarous, given his relationship with the Native Americans, the description of their humanity and the overall purpose of the narrative?
Answer with Explanation:
Cabeza de Vaca was known as an explorer of the New World (places lying mostly in Oceania and America). He was sent to explore La Florida (old Florida) by King Charles V. Upon their exploration, they encountered Native Americans who harassed them (that time, they were searching for gold). They fought days and nights with the inhabitants and later on, were enslaved by different tribes.
Over time, their number declined, leaving only four of them to survive. Upon his exploration in Texas, he was able to encounter people who were indigenous and lived with them. By this time, he was able to sympathize with their condition and started working as a "trader" and "healer." He established a group which attracted many followers.
All of de Vaca's encounters were written in "The Narrative of Cabeza de Vaca." The "Dedication" or "Introduction" tells much about his purpose in exploring the New World. By stating "the numerous, barbarous people," he was relating to what he experienced when he encountered them as I have stated above. This was before he realized their actual condition.
Thus, this explains the answer.

Answer:
to understand the thrill of the lunar module's landing from both the perspectives of mission control and astronauts
Explanation:
The thrill in the excerpts was clearly described in both paragraphs.
The first one was depicted as a "heart-palpitating event that seemed like an eternity." This shows the excitement of the folks in the mission control that their lunar module will be landing any time on the moon. Remember that it took long time before Apolo 11, a highly specialized aircraft, was sent to the moon.
The second paragraph shows how the astronauts, Aldrin and Armstrong, were also thrilled with the experience that they even claimed "magnificent desolation." Aldrin felt excited about, finally, being on the moon. He thought the moon was really beautiful!

Describe Emerson's style of writing. Find one sentence that is an example of this style. In your description, focus on his tone and purpose - see the following hint for assistance. Hint: When you discuss a writer's style of writing, you look at his purpose for writing, word choice to convey a tone or attitude, the structure of sentences (for example, question or statement), and sentence and paragraph length, for starters.
Answer:
Emerson’s style is flowery and astute
Explanation:
He contrasts ideas and suggests his purpose largely relying on the connotation of his adjectives. He includes many sub-ideas and qualifications in an attempt to convey his thoughts fully. He uses some parallel structure but the majority of his writing is compound and complex sentences of contrasting ideas. His style, overall, is studied and cautious, yet assertive thereby.
