from "EXTRICATING YOUNG GUSSIE"
by P.G. Wodehouse
She sprang it on me before breakfast. There in seven words you have a complete character sketch of my Aunt Agatha. I could go on indefinitely about brutality and lack of consideration. I merely say that she routed me out of bed to listen to her painful story somewhere in the small hours. It can't have been half past eleven when Jeeves, my man, woke me out of the dreamless and broke the news: 'Mrs Gregson to see you, sir.'
I thought she must be walking in her sleep, but I crawled out of bed and got into a dressing-gown. I knew Aunt Agatha well enough to know that, if she had come to see me, she was going to see me. That's the sort of woman she is.
She was sitting bolt upright in a chair, staring into space. When I came in she looked at me in that darn critical way that always makes me feel as if I had gelatin where my spine ought to be. Aunt Agatha is one of those strong-minded women. I should think Queen Elizabeth must have been something like her. She bosses her husband, Spencer Gregson, a battered little chappie on the Stock Exchange. She bosses my cousin, Gussie Mannering-Phipps. She bosses her sister-in-law, Gussie's mother. And, worst of all, she bosses me. She has an eye like a man-eating fish, and she has got moral suasion down to a fine point.
I dare say there are fellows in the world洋en of blood and iron, don't you know, and all that sort of thing謡hom she couldn't intimidate; but if you're a chappie like me, fond of a quiet life, you simply curl into a ball when you see her coming, and hope for the best. My experience is that when Aunt Agatha wants you to do a thing you do it, or else you find yourself wondering why those fellows in the olden days made such a fuss when they had trouble with the Spanish Inquisition.
'Halloa, Aunt Agatha!' I said
'Bertie,' she said, 'you look a sight. You look perfectly dissipated.'
I was feeling like a badly wrapped brown-paper parcel. I'm never at my best in the early morning. I said so.
'Early morning! I had breakfast three hours ago, and have been walking in the park ever since, trying to compose my thoughts.'
If I ever breakfasted at half past eight I should walk on the Embankment, trying to end it all in a watery grave.
'I am extremely worried, Bertie. That is why I have come to you.'
And then I saw she was going to start something, and I bleated weakly to Jeeves to bring me tea. But she had begun before I could get it.
'What are your immediate plans, Bertie?'
'Well, I rather thought of tottering out for a bite of lunch later on, and then possibly staggering round to the club, and after that, if I felt strong enough, I might trickle off to Walton Heath for a round of golf.'
'I am not interested in your totterings and tricklings. I mean, have you any important engagements in the next week or so?'
I scented danger.
'Rather,' I said. 'Heaps! Millions! Booked solid!'
'What are they?'
'I容r謡ell, I don't quite know.'
'I thought as much. You have no engagements. Very well, then, I want you to start immediately for America.'
'America!'
Do not lose sight of the fact that all this was taking place on an empty stomach, shortly after the rising of the lark.
'Yes, America. I suppose even you have heard of America?'
'But why America?'
'Because that is where your Cousin Gussie is. He is in New York, and I can't get at him.'
'What's Gussie been doing?'
Gussie is making a perfect idiot of himself.'
To one who knew young Gussie as well as I did, the words opened up a wide field for speculation.
'In what way?'
'He has lost his head over a creature.'
On past performances this rang true.
What is the central idea of lines 16-30?
a. Bertie believes Aunt Agatha is good at minding her own business.
b. Bertie believes Aunt Agatha is wrong about Gussie.
c. Aunt Agatha can稚 contact Gussie to get him to change his embarrassing behavior.
d. Aunt Agatha takes Bertie by surprise so he agrees to go to America.
The central idea is that Aunt Agatha can't correct her nephew Gussie's behavior herself because he is in New York, so she insists Bertie must go to America to handle the situation.
The central idea of lines 16-30 from "EXTRICATING YOUNG GUSSIE" by P.G. Wodehouse is c. Aunt Agatha can't contact Gussie to get him to change his embarrassing behavior. The lines describe Aunt Agatha's determination to resolve a situation involving her nephew, Gussie, who is in New York and beyond her direct influence. Bertie is narrating how Aunt Agatha, a domineering and strong-minded woman, wakes him early and insists that he travel to America to address the problem, showing her inability to reach and rectify Gussie's behavior herself.
MUSIC ASSIGNMENT PLEASE HELP
(a) What is the time signature?
(b) Which measure does not have enough beats?
(c) What type of note could you use to complete the measure in Question b?
(d) How many beats does the half rest in measure 4 get?
(e) How many beats does the eighth note in measure 7 get?
(f) What is the name of the sign at the end of the song?
Answer: Hello there!
a) the time signature is 4/4, you can see it at the start of the partiture, this means that you have 4 beats per bar.
b) the sixth measure has a black note (one beat) and a white note (two beats) so this measure only has 3 beats.
c) in the measure you only have 3 beats, and the time signature is 4/4, then you need to add another beat, you can add for example a black note.
d) before the half rest you have two black notes, then you have 2 beats, this mean that the rest need to be for the other 2 beats.
e) If a black note is equivalent to a beat, then here you have 4 notes in a beat, and each one is equidistant, so each one has 1/4 of a beat.
f) the two dots are a repeat sign, which means that at that point you start from the begginig, (only one time).
There is another notation where you have two times this notation enclosing some measures, this means that you only repeat the enclossed measures.
Read the following scenario. Imagine you are at the laundry mat and you see these directions. 1. Use credit card or cash to purchase tokens. Machines do not accept coins. 2. Choose a washing machine. Select water temperature, water level, and type of cycle (gentle, permanent press, or regular) before entering tokens. 3. Once water is flowing, add detergent, then items to be washed. 4. The washing machine lid must be closed before the cycle will begin. 5. Do not open washers until the blue light goes off at the end of the cycle. According to those directions, which of the following is true?
Detergent should be added before the water begins to flow.
Tokens need to be entered before water level and other settings can be selected.
When the blue light is illuminated, it is okay to open the washer.

i would say the answer would be B.
The correct answer would be option D "Tokens are needed to operate the washing machines", this is the correct option because in the directions it is clearly stated in the first step, that you have to use credit card or cash to purchase tokens. Option A is discarded because in step number 3, it clearly states to add the detergent once water is flowing. Option B is discarded because in step 2, it clearly states to select water temperature, water level and type of cycle before you enter the tokens. And finally, option C is discarded because in step 5, it clearly says that the blue light has to go off (be turned off) before you can open the washer.

Which statement is true about using appropriate language in the workplace?
Generally, choose a less formal tone when speaking with superiors.
When you are uncertain what level of formality is required, err on the side of being less formal.
Determine what language is appropriate by carefully observing and listening to others.
Only formal kinds of language belong in the workplace.
The correct answer is C. Determine what language is appropriate by carefully observing and listening to others
Explanation:
In English and other languages, the election of words and expressions, the tone and the way a message is organized leads to a general style in language or communication. This style is usually classified as formal or informal, while informal language is used in informal contexts such as family or friends and uses words and grammar in a spontaneous and relaxed way, formal language uses more sophisticated vocabulary, always follows grammar rules and avoids slangs or non-formal expressions, which is used in serious situations such as job or academical context. Considering workplace mainly involves the use of formal language but does not excludes completely the use of informal language and the level of formality can vary depending on who you are speaking to it is better to determine whether you should use formal or informal language by observing the way people use language and imitating their style, in this way if you observe everyone uses only formal language you should do the same as informality would be considered as inappropriate. Also, if you do not have enough information or you are speaking with superiors it is a good idea to use formal language.

All living things are composed of cells.
to entertain
to settle
to persuade
to inform
The correct answer is D. To inform
Explanation:
In writing, the purpose of a sentence, paragraph or text refers to the reason for writing a text and this can be identified according to the type of content they include. Common purposes in writing include to persuade that aims at convincing the audience of an idea or perspective; to entertain that aims at entertaining the audience; to narrate that aims at telling a set of events and to inform that aims at providing information about one topic or subject.
In the case of the sentence "All living things are composed of cells" this sentence is mainly an objective sentence that provides information in the field of biology about living beings and therefore the purpose of this sentence is to inform as it is just providing information rather than entertaining, narrating a story or trying to convince the audience.

"After Twenty Years" is a short story by O. Henry. It was first published in his anthology The Four Million in 1906.
It tells the story of two friends who due to their separate paths in life have not seen each other in twenty years. However, they have agreed to meet on a particular spot near a restaurant that night. The story has a plot twist near the end, which relies on the author keeping information about the main characters hidden until the end. He does so by means of a third-person narrative.

There is a quiet spirit in these woods,
That dwells where'er the gentle south-wind blows;
Where, underneath the white-thorn, in the glade,
The wild flowers bloom, or, kissing the soft air,
The leaves above their sunny palms outspread.

The excerpts from Longfellow and Poe are examples of blank verse, enjambment, and iambic pentameter, respectively. Understanding these poetic styles aids in deeper appreciation of American Literature.
The student has asked for help matching each excerpt to its poetic style. Let's take a look at the given excerpts and analyze their style:
"There is a quiet spirit in these woods..." from "The Spirit of Poetry" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is written in blank verse, which is unrhymed iambic pentameter."Ah! what is not a dream by day..." from "A Dream" by Edgar Allan Poe demonstrates the use of enjambment, where one line carries over to the next without a syntactical break."I said unto myself, if I were dead..." from "A Shadow" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is also written in iambic pentameter, adhering to a metrical pattern that mimics natural speech.
Matching style to content is an important aspect of an American Literature Survey, and the ability to discern these styles in poetry provides insight into the author's intent and the emotional impact of the poem.
Which word best describes the tone of this passage Kovaloff, the member of the Municipal Committee, awoke fairly early that morning, and made a droning noise — "Brr! Brr!" — through his lips, as he always did, though he could not say why. He stretched himself, and told his valet to give him a little mirror which was on the table. He wished to look at the heat-boil which had appeared on his nose the previous evening; but to his great astonishment, he saw that instead of his nose he had a perfectly smooth vacancy in his face. Thoroughly alarmed, he ordered some water to be brought, and rubbed his eyes with a towel. Sure enough, he had no longer a nose! Then he sprang out of bed, and shook himself violently! No, no nose any more! He dressed himself and went at once to the police superintendent. A angry B mournful c distressed D amusing
