Read the following excerpt from H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds, and answer the question that follows: Yet so vain is man, and so blinded by his vanity, that no writer, up to the very end of the nineteenth century, expressed any idea that intelligent life might have developed there far, or indeed at all, beyond its earthly level. Nor was it generally understood that since Mars is older than our earth, with scarcely a quarter of the superficial area and remoter from the sun, it necessarily follows that it is not only more distant from time's beginning but nearer its end. Which of the following details comes from supporting evidence? (5 points) Man is blinded by his own vanity. No one has traveled to Mars. The writer lived in the 19th century. Mars is farther from the sun than Earth.

Answers

Answer 1
Firstly, it should be appropriated to define "supporting evidence". It is the evidence provided to support the main idea. It proves a point to keep the reader attention. So it this case, it might be said that the supporting evidence is the first option "man is blinded by his own vanity". It provides a "shocking idea" to prove a point and then an example is given to support this evidence. 
Answer 2

Man is blinded by his own vanity

Which statement BEST summarizes the speech? A) A nation at war with itself cannot stand.
B) Lincoln had deep hatred for the Confederacy.
C) Man has the responsibility to take charge of matters, especially those involving war.
D) God is in charge, not man, and if he deems that war is necessary, then we as a nation must complete it.

Answers

Answer:

A). A nation at war with itself cannot stand.

Explanation:

As per the question, the statement that most appropriately sums up the 'second inaugural address' of president Abraham Lincoln would be 'A nation at war with itself cannot stand.' The key idea or primary concern that surrounds and dominates the entire address is that 'the nation can only withstand a war by standing as a whole' and with 'the progress of our arms, upon which all else chiefly depends.' Lincoln encourages the people to take a united call by saying 'let us(symbolize togetherness) strive on to. . . bind up the nation's wounds' as 'the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.' Thus, option A is the correct answer.

Answer:

D )  God is in charge, not man, and if he deems that war is necessary, then we as a nation must complete it.

Why did the Lord have Gideon reduce the size of his army so much?
this is not english but there is no bible subject

Answers

The Lord wanted to show the Israelites that their victories were won by him and him alone. Because all things are possible with God.

Gideon reduced his army's size on the Lord's command to demonstrate that their victory was due to divine intervention, reinforcing humility and trust in the Lord.

The Lord had Gideon reduce the size of his army to ensure that the Israelites would recognize that their victory over the Midianites was due to divine intervention, not their own strength or numbers. This was to remind the Israelites to remain humble and to reinforce their devotion and trust to the Lord as their true leader and savior. The reduction of Gideon's army served to demonstrate that the Israelites' success was due to the Lord's will and power, not their own military might or the generalship of Gideon.

Scholars agree that Greek romances and Spanish adventure stories are really early forms of novels. True False

Answers

True. Ancient Greek romances are today recognised as novels. Even though there are only five of them preserved completely, many more fragments have survived. The most notable among those preserved Greek novels are Longus' "Daphnis and Chloe" and Heliodorus' "Aethiopica". As for Spanish adventure stories, the so-called Picaresque novel of the 16th century was extremely popular. It is much closer to our own understanding of a novel - it doesn't deal with mythology, but realistic characters from lower social classes, and their adventures.

Answers

it might be said that the importance of Lantern Yard is to seek the truth about his past (option 2). This place might symbolised Silas´s past, it was the only place he knew, a community of faith and region which seems to be based in superstitions than in rational thoughts. 

The correct answer is 4. Silas's light that cannot be rekindled there

Explanation: In "Silas Marner" by George Eliot, the town of Lantern Yard is symbolism for the changes Silas Marner undergoes. Marner was strongly committed to his faith in God, but once he is falsely accused, he has to leave and this changes him spiritually. He regains his faith but it's no longer of a God he understands, and returns to find Lantern Yard completely changed as well.

That's a  quality i really like. She's always helping others out and doing her best to keep everyone happy. I wish everyone was as awesome and nice as her.

Secondly, she's loyal. It's one of the best things about her. She's a true friends and sticks by your side through everything. She's with you through your best times and worst times. There's not a single time i felt she has betrayed me or hurt my feelings, because to be honest she truly keeps me happy.

Thirdly, she's honest and reliable. She will tell the truth and that's what makes her so much more amazing. You can rely on her to keep any secret and she will. I trust her so much, and she has built that trust with her personality.

(You can change the she's to he's if you want, this is just my point of view)

Why is it important to listen critically to a speech?

Answers

Critical listening is key when receiving speeches because it allows us to evaluate the speaker's credibility, ensure information accuracy, and discern underlying intentions behind the messages. It helps develop a discerning ear for argument quality and enhances public speaking skills. Fostering critical-listening skills is thus a vital aspect of consuming and producing effective and ethical communication.

Listening critically to a speech is of utmost importance because it involves evaluating the credibility, completeness, and worth of the speaker's message within the public speaking context. As the United States Constitution grants citizens the right to free speech, it becomes our responsibility to sift through countless messages, assessing their value, ethical standards, accuracy, and quality. This critical evaluation is crucial, as some speech givers may be misleading, uninformed, or motivated by personal gain, cloaking their intentions behind a facade of honesty and credibility.

Furthermore, by enhancing your critical listening skills, you improve your ability to detect unsupported information, demanding credible evidence before accepting claims. It also allows you to pick up on stylistic components and argument structures, thus improving the effectiveness of your own presentations. Lastly, by asking pertinent questions about the speaker's goals and the interests served by their message, you develop a more informed understanding of the speech, enabling you to make better judgments.

Match the description to the word. 1. the information needed to understand a story complication 2. artificial ordering of events character 3. fictional person climax 4. long prose narrative novel 5. the catalyst that begins the major conflict resolution 6. partially established by the setting mood 7. the turning point in the story that occurs when characters try to resolve the complication plot 8. the set of events that bring the story to a close exposition

Answers

1. the information needed to understand a story = exposition
Exposition refers to the author giving you some background details necessary for readers to understand what is going on in the story. Exposition is a fancy literary term for introduction to a story, which slowly leads the readers into the plot.

2. artificial ordering of events = plot.
Plot represents what is happening in the story - it refers to the events that occur throughout a novel, or a story. For example, the plot of Harry Potter is a boy going to a wizarding school in order to become powerful enough to defeat his enemy.

3. fictional person = character
A character is someone who is made up by an author in order to represent people in a novel or a story. For example, in Lord of the Rings, there are characters such as Frodo, Bilbo, Aragorn, Gandalf, etc who all appear in the book.

4. long prose narrative = novel.
A novel is a long narrative in the prose form. Prose is opposite of poetry, which means that it is written in a different way. Novels can be long or short (but definitely longer than a short story). Narrative means that there is something happening in it.

5. the catalyst that begins the major conflict = complication.
Complication refers to an event that complicates everything in a story. Usually this complication will lead to conflicts between characters which will have to be resolved throughout the story if the author wants to have such an ending.

6. partially established by the setting = mood.
Mood of a story refers to what feelings the author is trying to convey through the use of his word choice, setting, characters, events, etc. For example, in The Raven, by Poe, the mood is quite dark and dreary, as well as pessimistic and scary.

7. the turning point in the story that occurs when characters try to resolve the complication = climax.
Climax literally refers to the turning point - after that, the complication will either be resolved and all characters can finally be happy about it, or the opposite may happen - things may end in a very bad way. In Hamlet, for example, the complication ends with everyone dying. 

8. the set of events that bring the story to a close = resolution.
Resolution means that a lot of things happened throughout a story, but that everything is solved in the end and the story can finally be completed. Resolution means that there are no more conflicts because everything is resolved.
Final answer:

Each term in literature corresponds to a particular concept: Exposition refers to the background information, Plot represents the series of events, Character denotes a fictional person, Novel is a long narrative, Complication is the catalyst for major conflict, Mood is influenced by the setting, Climax is the main turning point, and Resolution represents the closure of the story.

Explanation:

The correct word that fits each description are as follows:

Exposition: the information needed to understand a story. Plot: artificial ordering of events. Character: fictional person.Novel: long prose narrative. Complication: the catalyst that begins the major conflict. Mood: partially established by the setting. Climax: the turning point in the story that occurs when characters try to resolve the complication. Resolution: the set of events that bring the story to a close.
