Read the passage.

...the hoot of owls, the quavering cry of coons, the twitter of night birds.

Which best explains how the writer's use of the underlined word creates a mysterious mood?

A quavering cry creates a feeling of calm.
A quavering cry creates a feeling of mischief.
A quavering cry creates a feeling of uncertainty.
A quavering cry creates a feeling of boredom.

Answers

Answer 1
quavering means like trembling or shaky so my best guess would be option c-uncertainty however I do not know for sure. It is definitely not calm or boredom, and mischief doesn't seem to fit with "mysterious."
Answer 2

Answer: A quavering cry creates a feeling of uncertainty.

The use of the word "quavering" conveys a feeling of uncertainty in this passage. The quavering cry cannot be calm, as it is a noisy, somewhat unexpected sound. Because it is not particularly intense, it is unlikely to convey mischief. Finally, a cry is also unlikely to convey a feeling of boredom.

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.

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

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.

Which of the following events occurred between 1915 and 1935? A. Europe was involved in World War II. B. The transcontinental railway was completed. C. Economic prosperity followed World War I. D. President McKinley was shot; he was succeeded by Theodore Roosevelt.

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.

Which theme is present in both Plath's "Mirror" and Welty's short story "The Petrified Man"?
the decay of beauty
the role of men in society
changing southern culture
friendships between women

Answers

The decay of beauty.

These two literary works both talk about women and femininity. Plath's poem is a depressive account of a mirror which sees nothing but the opposite wall, and every morning the face of a woman appears, searching for signs of aging. However, that woman was first a girl, and now she becomes an old woman. The decay of beauty is the main indicator of transience, which drowns the meaning of life.

In Welty's Petrified Man the decay of beauty is also not the central motif. The story is about the triviality of small people's lives in a small American town. Nothing really happens. Two women talk about trifles of their everyday lives. But the motif appears when Leota and Mrs. Fletcher talk about the latter's hair falling out.

How is media plagiarism different from academic plagiarism? I. Media plagiarism involves professionals in a public forum. II. Academic plagiarism involves students in a school setting. III. Media plagiarism involves only those who work on television.

Answers

The correct answer is I and II

Answer:

The correct answer choices for the question: How is media plagiarism different from academic plagiarism, would be, I. Media plagiarism involves professionals in a public forum, and II. Academic plagiarism involves students in a school setting.

In essence, in academics, plagiarims is defined as the use of any parts, or parts, of a work, that has been written by someone else, or even by the writer himself, without giving credit to the author of the work that was used.

But essentially, plagiarism in the media means the wrongful use of words, images, logos, among other things, without paying attention to the matter of copyright, and previous authorization for it. The selections would be the choices for answer because they explain the people, and the place, where plagiarism for take place in an academic setting, and a media setting.

What rhetorical device is seen in the following quote from the new testament? We look for light, but all is darkness. rhetorical questions repetition parallelism antithesis

Answers

I believe the correct answer would be the last option. The rhetorical device that is seen in the given statement above would be antithesis. It is a literary device that involves the use of two that are opposite of each other in a statement in order to attain a contrasting effect. It is used in texts as it strengthens the argument. Also, it creates emphasis and a sense of balance of the words in the text. The words used here are light and darkness. Other examples are a quote of Aristotle which says that "Patience is bitter but it has a sweet fruit" and a quote by Neil Armstrong which says "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."

Which sentence relies on the connotation of the boldfaced word to convey meaning?

A. Kris pulled up the anchor, and we set sail for the enchanted island.
B. When I told Dad that I had lost his keys, he went totally bananas.
C. Mom asked me to pick up some peaches from the market.
D. Though it was hot outside, the air-conditioning made the room cold.

Answers

I believe the answer is B. Why I chose B? I chose B because connotation is an implied meaning that is associated with a word in addition to its literal meaning. This association can be cultural or emotional.

Bananas = connotation in B

Another connotation
In my eyes, she is like a dove floating on the thermal cloud. 
Dove does mean a bird here but an angel







The sentence that depends on the connotation of the bold/highlighted word to communicate meaning would be:

B). When I told Dad that I had lost his keys, he went totally bananas.

'Connotation' is described as a 'suggested or implicit meaning that is conveyed by a word or phrase.' This meaning is in distinction from the literal or dictionary meaning of the word.In the sentence given in option B, the word 'banana' is employed connotatively as it means 'to be extremely angry.' In fact, 'to go banana' is an idiom that connotes 'becoming very elevated or enraged.' Therefore, 'banana' in sentence B is used connotatively because its literal meaning communicates it as a fruit.
