Augustine may have understood the shift away from paganism and toward Christianity particularly well because _____.
He was very insightful
He read widely
He met with the Pope on important matters
His mother was a Christian and his father was a pagan
Answer:
His mother was a Christian and his father was a pagan.
Explanation:
Saint Augustine is one of the most important theologians (writing in the 5th century CE) of the Christian faith and one of the most influential thinkers of the Western tradition. It is known that his mother, Monica was a devout Christian who always prayed for Augustine´s conversion, which eventually did take place. His father, Patricius, was a pagan who in his deathbed also converted to Christianity. These two factors, along with Augustine´s genius and perspicacity, certainly made him very fit to elaborate the historical shift from paganism to Christianity.
Which parts of this excerpt from Stephen Crane's "The Open Boat" describe the narrator's opinion of the sea as a hostile entity?
A singular disadvantage of the sea lies in the fact that after successfully surmounting one wave you discover that there is another behind it just as important and just as nervously anxious to do something effective in the way of swamping boats. In a ten-foot dinghy one can get an idea of the resources of the sea in the line of waves that is not probable to the average experience, which is never at sea in a dinghy. As each slaty wall of water approached, it shut all else from the view of the men in the boat, and it was not difficult to imagine that this particular wave was the final outburst of the ocean, the last effort of the grim water.

Before meeting Romeo Juliet is ___ about the idea of marriage
Before meeting Romeo, Juliet is ambivalent about the idea of marriage.
Explanation:Before meeting Romeo, Juliet is ambivalent about the idea of marriage. In the text, it is mentioned that Juliet had never dreamed of marrying anyone else and had always looked forward to marrying Romeo as the inevitable conclusion, but she also placed marriage so far in the future that it seemed almost equal to placing it over the boundaries of another life.

Read the excerpt from The Hot Zone and the summary that follows it.
Half of this biocontainment operation was going to be news containment. C. J. Peters's comments to The Washington Post were designed to create an impression that the situation was under control, safe, and not all that interesting. C. J. was understating the gravity of the situation. But he could be very smooth when he wanted, and he used his friendliest voice with the reporters, assuring them over the telephone that there really was no problem, just kind of a routine technical situation.

Rubbing its back upon the window panes;

To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet;
There will be time to murder and create,
And time for all the works and days of hands
That lift and drop a question on your plate;

Which lines in this excerpt from William Cullen Bryant's "Thanatopsis" best indicate the theme of the poem?
A. So live, that when thy summons comes to join
The innumerable caravan
B. To that mysterious realm, where each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of death,
C. Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night,
Scourged to his dungeon,
D. sustained and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave,
E. lies down to pleasant dreams.
The correct answer is letter B: "to that mysterious realm, where each shall take, His chamber in the silent halls of death" .
Thanaptopsis which translates "view of death" from Greek, is a poem which has as main theme the description of natural and metaphysical considerations of human death.
Throughout the poem, the writer describes the afterworld by giving voice to nature, where all life starts and ends, e.g. "Earth, that nourished thee, shall claim , thy growth, to be resolved to earth again"; and regarding the sun, moon, the planets and the great hosts of heaven as "solemn decorations all of the great tomb of man", among others.
Answer:
Option C.
Explanation:
"Thanatopsis" is the poem written by William Cullen Byrant. The word "Thanatopsis" is the combination of two words, 'thanatos' meaning death; and 'opsis' meaning view or sight.
The poem is about the 'sight/view of death'. But poem is a bit optimistic in its view of death.
The theme of the poem is "to overcome the fear of death".
Lines 77-78 of the poem indicate this theme, which are mentioned in option C.
In these lines, the poet is asking his readers not to take death or approach death as a slave, but rather trust that whatever is happening to us is for our good. We should not act as if someone is 'scourging' or 'whipping' us into a prison (dungeon). And in these lines we get the glimpse of the theme of the poem of overcoming the fear of death.
PLEASE HELP 9. Find a quote by Twain. Write the quote and explain why it holds meaning for you.
To set up your fish aquarium, you must first decide where to put your tank. You should place your fish tank on a stable, sturdy piece of furniture, such as a table. Pick a spot away from direct sunlight, as direct sunlight can harm some fish. After placing your tank in its chosen spot, place a small layer of pebbles at the bottom of the aquarium. Then, put a few underwater plants or other decorations on top of the pebble layer. After adding decorations, fill the tank with water. Because the water will make the tank heavy, fill the tank by using a clean pitcher filled with water. That way, you will not have to move your tank after it is full of water. Finally, put your new fish into your aquarium. Which of these details does NOT support this paragraph’s main idea?
A) Fill the tank with water until it reaches about three inches from the top. B) Before you buy a pet you should consider the care and attention it will need. C) The pebble layer should be about three inches thick and cover the entire bottom. D) Make sure that any decorations you put in the tank are designed for fish aquariums. Eliminate
Answer: B) Before you buy a pet you should consider the care and attention it will need.
Explanation: In the given paragraph we can see a series of steps to correctly set up a fish aquarium. From the given options, the one that does not support that main idea is the corresponding to option B: Before you buy a pet you should consider the care and attention it will need, because this option is referring to the pet, and the paragraph just refers to the instructions for placing, preparing and filling the aquarium with water.
If an applicant has extensive training, numerous scholastic accomplishments, a high level of community involvement, and no work experience, the most effective format for his resumé would likely be _____.
A. chronological
B. functional/hybrid
Final answer:
A functional/hybrid resume would be most effective for an applicant with extensive training, scholastic accomplishments, community involvement, and no work experience, as it highlights skills and achievements rather than employment history.
Explanation:
If an applicant has extensive training, numerous scholastic accomplishments, a high level of community involvement, and no work experience, the most effective format for their résumé would likely be a functional/hybrid résumé.
While a chronological résumé focuses on employment history listed in reverse chronological order, a functional résumé emphasizes skills and achievements in various categories and is particularly suitable for those with a diverse set of skills gained through different experiences such as academic, volunteer, or community activities.
A hybrid résumé combines the strengths of both formats by highlighting the most relevant skills in a well-developed 'Skills & Achievements' section, which would allow the individual to best convey their qualifications in absence of professional work experience.

Write a story using all this spelling words: Hanukkah, Christmas, menorah, candles, giving, presents, surprises, Santa Claus, reindeer, elves, mistletoe,family, & togetherness.
The Johnson family celebrates both Hanukkah and Christmas, embracing traditions from both holidays in a story that highlights the importance of giving, family, and togetherness. Through the lighting of the menorah, the arrival of Santa Claus, and the exchange of presents, the family experiences joy and unity.
Explanation:Once upon a time, in a cozy little town decorated with Christmas lights and Hanukkah stars, there was a magical season of togetherness. The Johnson family was known for celebrating both Hanukkah and Christmas, bringing a unique blend of traditions to their home. On the first night of Hanukkah, they lit the first candle on the menorah, and each night thereafter, the light grew brighter, symbolizing the increasing joy in their hearts.
As December 25th approached, the excitement for Christmas also grew. Santa Claus, with the help of his reindeer and elves, was busy preparing presents for all. In the spirit of giving, the Johnsons also prepared surprises for their loved ones, emphasizing the joy of watching their family's surprise and delight. The house was adorned with candles, mistletoe, and all manner of festive decorations, creating a warm atmosphere of family and togetherness.
On Christmas Eve, as they gathered around the beautifully decorated tree, they shared stories and opened presents, the room filled with laughter and joy. The Johnsons showed that no matter whether it's Hanukkah or Christmas, it's the spirit of giving, surprises, and togetherness that truly makes the holiday season special. And as the holiday season came to a close, their hearts were full, knowing that these moments of unity and love were the best gifts of all.

Which of the following is a reason that people of the 18th century wrote travel narratives? I. to help create business relationships with people from other cultures II. to set up military conquests III. to report on religious conversions of non-Christians
The answer is I. One of the reasons that people of the 18th century wrote travel narratives was to help create business relationships with other cultures.
Travel narratives were commonly writen by europeans, who wrote about distant lands and their population; this genre responded to the public's growing interest for knowledge of the world. It was this knowledge that made the creation of business relationships possible, travel narratives gave accounts of other people's culture, traditions and values, but they also gave an account of what other cultures, in terms of products, had to offer to a growing international market.
Read the paragraph from Sora’s narrative essay. That day after practice, I was frustrated and stomped home. In fact, I’m embarrassed to say I sulked for the rest of the day. Then my stubborn streak kicked in, and I decided that failure wasn’t an option. I practiced regularly until the day came when I was able to consistently hit the ball. Which sentence from the paragraph best supports the conclusion that this paragraph belongs in the middle of Sora’s essay? That day after practice, I was frustrated and stomped home. In fact, I’m embarrassed to say I sulked for the rest of the day. Then my stubborn streak kicked in, and I decided that failure wasn’t an option. I practiced regularly until the day came when I was able to consistently hit the ball.

Passive is to change active is to
Answer:
Stable or fixed.
Explanation:
Okay, the question is very tricky, oh yes I know. Not to worry, I will explain in a way that you will get it. Look at the question very well; ''Passive is to change active is to'', we can see that the question is trying to do two things and the first thing is to compare two things or words, which is "passive'' and "active". The second thing the question is trying to do is what you all know as antonyms, that is opposite in messing. If you look very closely, you will notice that being passive is entirely something that does not like changes at all and being active is something that loves change, so the whole question is all about ANALOGY.
So, if in the question, passive goes for change, then active will also go for something opposite to it, which means ''not changing' like fixed, stable and so on.
Passive voice: In the passive voice, the verb's action is directed at the sentence's subject rather than its object. Typically, the sentence structure is "subject + auxiliary verb (be) + past participle (verb) + by + agent (optional)."
Active voice: In an active voice sentence, the verb's action is carried out by the sentence's subject, and the action is received by the sentence's object. Typically, the structure is "subject + verb + object."
Not all sentences should or can be altered from one voice to another, so keep that in mind. The emphasis you wish to convey and the sentence's context will determine whether you use the active or passive voice.
