I Heard a Bird Sing

By Oliver Herford

I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December.
A magical thing
And sweet to remember.

"We are nearer to Spring
Than we were in September,”
I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December.

The correct answer here would be A) The use of the word abruptly heightens the conflict by revealing to the reader that Mrs. Hale is becoming increasingly anxious.

The use of the word "abruptly" shows that Mrs. Hale is provoked by Mrs.Peters' statement and that she is in distress.

The correct option is A). It best describes the use of the word abruptly as it heightens the conflict by revealing to the reader that Mrs. Hale is becoming increasingly anxious.

The word abruptly in the excerpt from Trifles by Susan Glaspell is a direction for how Mrs. Hale's action should be interpreted. It suggests a sudden or unexpected movement, which can indicate a change in the character's emotional state or the tone of the scene.

Let's analyze each option:

A) The use of the word abruptly heightens the conflict by revealing to the reader that Mrs. Hale is becoming increasingly anxious. This option suggests that Mrs. Hale's abrupt movement is a sign of her growing anxiety or urgency, which could be in response to the unfolding events in the play. This interpretation is supported by the text, as it implies a shift in behavior that could signify an escalation in the tension of the scene.

B) The use of the word abruptly characterizes Mrs. Hale as someone who is aggressive and assertive by nature. While abruptly does indicate a forceful action, it does not necessarily characterize Mrs. Hale as inherently aggressive or assertive. The movement could be a one-time reaction to a specific situation rather than a reflection of her overall personality.

C) The use of the word abruptly quickens the plot by making it appear as though the characters in the play are rushed. Although abruptly can imply a quickening of action, it does not directly suggest that the overall plot is rushed. It is more indicative of a character's immediate reaction rather than a broader pacing issue.

D) The use of the word abruptly adds to the mysterious mood in the scene as the reader is left to wonder why Mrs. Hale is upset. While the word can contribute to a sense of mystery by prompting questions about the cause of Mrs. Hale's abrupt movement, it is more directly tied to her emotional state rather than creating a mysterious mood.

Answer: direct characterization, describing her physical appearance.

In this excerpt, we discover the characteristics of Mme. Sofronie mainly due to direct characterization. In particular, the author concentrates on her personal appearance. We are told that Mme. Sofronie is "large, too white, chilly." This is an example of direct characterization. Indirect characterization, on the other hand, would most likely describe her by discussing her actions and personality.

Enlightenment's emphasis on order and reason was the main characteristic of Neoclassicism which was also called "the age of reason" since all had to be explained by means of the reason.

As a reaction against Neoclassicism, Romanticism CELEBRATED EMOTIONS, it went for imagination and the authors wanted to do away with traditional forms. As an example of imagination, we could mention that in Romanticism it was common to find characters coming back from death (Frankenstein).  

the central core and is composed of protons and neutrons

the nucleus has no electrons which are negetivly charged and if there is either equal or more neutrons then protons. protons never change from atom to atom but neutrons do

The nucleus of an atom is the central core and is composed of protons and neutrons. Therefore option D is correct.

An atom's nucleus is its center. Protons and neutrons in the atom's nucleus make up almost all of its mass, with circling electrons making up very little of it. Protons are positively charged, but neutrons have no charge.

The strong nuclear force holds protons and neutrons together. Despite their attraction to the nucleus, electrons move so quickly that they either orbit it at a distance or fall around it.

Protons are responsible for the nucleus' positive electrical charge, while neutrons have no net electrical charge. Protons and neutrons have a lot more mass than electrons, hence the nucleus of an atom contains almost all of its mass.

Infer What is the central idea that Blaeser develops in “Rituals of Memory”? Cite details from the text that helped you determine the central idea.

The sentence that is an example of an objective statement is C, that is, your answer is "the new mall is home to several restaurants and more than 100 stores". This sentence is neutral in the sense that the choice of words does not reflect the personal opinion of the writer. On the contrary, A, for instance, is a subjective statement because it has a qualitative adjective that denotes something with respect to the personal taste of the writer (exciting). The same can be seen in B and D (fabulous, worth the price, popular and overly expensive).
