You Cannot Put a Fire Out
by Emily Dickinson

You cannot put a fire out;
A thing that can ignite
Can go, itself, without a fan
Upon the slowest night.

You cannot fold a flood
And put it in a drawer, —
Because the winds would find it out,
And tell your cedar floor.

Homer writes that Odysseus and his men “were left to groan and wait for morning” (218).
Homer writes “that Odysseus and his men were left to groan and wait for morning” (218)

Answers

Answer:

Homer writes that Odysseus and his men “were left to groan and wait for morning.” (Homer, 218)

Explanation:

The MLA format follows the author-page method of in-text citation, meaning that the author's last name and the page number from which the quotation is taken has to be written in the text, and there has to be a complete reference on the Works Cited page.

The first sentence is wrong because the author's name can appear either in the sentence itself or in parentheses following the quotation, not both.

The second and fourth sentences are wrong because the word "that" should be outside of the quotation because is not part of Homer´s original phrase.

The situation in Gabriel García Márquez's "Tuesday Siesta" creates a tense and uncomfortable atmosphere. The story unfolds on a hot afternoon in a small, dusty town in Colombia.

What does it set up in "Tuesday Siesta"?

The situation in Gabriel García Márquez's "Tuesday Siesta" creates a tense and uncomfortable atmosphere. The story takes place during siesta hours on a hot Tuesday afternoon in a small town in Colombia. Deserted streets, closed shops and houses, and scorching heat create a sense of silence and stillness. The absence of people on the streets indicates a sense of danger or a foreboding of events. The situation also contrasts with the actions of the two main characters, the mother and daughter, who make a dangerous journey in the oppressive heat of the day to see the girl’s father in prison.

Thus the scene in Gabriel García Márquez's "Tuesday Siesta" creates a tense and uncomfortable atmosphere. The story unfolds on a hot afternoon in a small, dusty town in Colombia.

Explanation:

Read the excerpt from Le Morte d’Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory. That is untruly said of thee, said the king, therefore go thou lightly again, and do my commandment; as thou art to me lief and dear, spare not, but throw it in. Read the excerpt from "Morte d'Arthur” by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. To whom replied King Arthur, faint and pale: "Thou hast betray’d thy nature and thy name, Not rendering true answer, as beseem’d Thy fëalty, nor like a noble knight: For surer sign had follow’d, either hand, Or voice, or else a motion of the mere. This is a shameful thing for men to lie. Yet now, I charge thee, quickly go again As thou art lief and dear, and do the thing I bade thee, watch, and lightly bring me word.” How does Tennyson effectively rewrite King Arthur’s dialogue? Tennyson’s version describes King Arthur ordering Sir Bedivere to do something again. Tennyson’s version stresses the betrayal King Arthur feels by drawing the dialogue out longer. Tennyson’s version shows that King Arthur is pleased with Sir Bedivere’s previous actions. Tennyson’s version stresses the physical pain King Arthur is in by adding additional imagery.

Answers

Answer: Tennyson's version stresses the betrayal King Arthur feels by drawing the dialogue out longer

Explanation:

Le Morte d'Arthur dialogue written by Sir Thomas Malory was short. On the other hand, Tennyson's version of the dialogue was long.

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.

Nina was always a mysterious figure in the family: beautiful as a movie star, cosmopolitan and elegant, with wide Slavic cheeks. She spoke only Russian, though she lived much of her adult life in Tel Aviv. There were rumors that she came from nobility and that she had once been very rich. She and Avram were thought of as a glamorous couple—he the charming man with his head in the clouds (in Yiddish the word for that kind of person is luftmensh, "air man''), she the mysterious beauty who had given up everything to be with him.

Which statements best describe the author’s purpose for writing this passage? Select two options.

to present background information about Nina
to create a sense of suspense about Nina’s future
to intrigue the reader with details about Nina
to show how Nina was able to mislead people

We were also hinted about something she indulges in, her being a movie star. All theae gives a lot of background information about Nina. Going further, the author deviated a little from her background information to tell us some other details about her, information about Nina's husband and the kind of happy relationship they keep. Hence, these gives an more details about Nina

Hence, what the author is describing in the passage is :

So at the end we conclude that the role of the paradox in this passage shows that you can feel satisfaction and dissatisfaction at the same time. It is totally depends upon the different circumstances.

Therefore, correct option is D.

GIVE ME LIBERTY
The Struggle for Self-Government in Virginia
Thomas J. Wertenbaker

Chapter I: The Cornerstone of Liberty
Three little vessels—the Susan Constant, the Godspeed, and the Discovery—left England in December, 1606, under the command of Captain Christopher Newport, to found a colony on the distant shores of Virginia. Two decades earlier Sir Walter Raleigh had sent out a group of settlers to what is now North Carolina, and they had disappeared mysteriously. What had happened to them? men asked. Had they been killed by the Indians? Had they fallen victims to disease? Had they starved? Those who shared in this new venture must have wondered if a like fate awaited them in this strange new land.

But their spirits rose when they entered Chesapeake Bay. Landing parties were delighted with the "fair meddowes ... full of flowers of divers kinds and colors," the "goodly tall trees," and the streams of fresh water. It was a smiling country which seemed to bid them welcome. But when they entered the mouth of a broad river, which they called the James in honor of their King, and made their way up into the country, new doubts must have assailed them. They knew that savages lived in the dense forests which lined both banks; might not strange wild beasts live there also? Might there not be fatal diseases unknown in Europe?

Review the end of the first paragraph in the "Give Me Liberty" excerpt. What is the main point of the questions at the end of the paragraph?

The fate of early settlers was uncertain.
The new settlers had much to fear.
The new settlers had less to fear than the earlier ones.
The new colony was not in North Carolina.

Answers

Answer:

The fate of early settlers was uncertain.

Explanation:

The sequence of questions presented at the end of the first paragraph presented in the question above, aims to show that there are many doubts about the fate of the first settlers. That's because that fate was uncertain, as many bad things could happen in the new world. The colonists were not sure whether they would succeed or even survive in the new world, as many colonists had failed, even if there were examples of successful colonists. The fate was uncertain as the colonists could be successful but could be attacked, starved or infected and the questions at the end of the paragraph show these situations that could or could not happen.

Read the excerpt from The Dark Game.

British government leaders didn't present the Zimmermann telegram to Wilson for a few weeks. Hall reminded them that outrage was growing in America over Germany's announcement late in the day of January 31 that the German navy would resume unrestricted submarine warfare. In fact, that policy provoked the U.S. government to cut diplomatic relations with Germany in February.

Which can be inferred from the information in the excerpt?

Hall wanted to let the American outrage simmer down before revealing the contents of the telegraph.
Hall knew that growing outrage among the American public would help Britain’s cause.
Hall worried that the American public would lose interest in the contents of the telegraph.
Hall disagreed with the British government’s choice to wait before showing the telegraph to Wilson.

Answers

Answer: Hall knew that growing outrage among the American public would help Britain's cause.

Explanation: According the the excerpt, it says that "Hall reminded them", thus saying that Hall was not in favor of waiting before presenting the telegram.

Hall didn't want to wait until American outrage simmered down before revealing the contents of the telegram. No where in the excerpt does it hint this.

Hall wasn't worried that the Americans would lose interest in the contents of the telegram. The telegram contained information that would alert the Americans of a possible attack from Mexico.

Hall did disagree with the waiting, but the excerpt is hinting that Hall wanted to use the telegram to gain supporters for Britain against the Germans.

Cheers

(If I'm wrong, then the answer is that Hall disagreed with the British government's choice to wait before showing the telegraph to Wilson)

The oldest stories told of travelers coming down to the edge of the sea, lining up to fill their wagon beds with salted fish to take back home. Old decaying cabins still lined the beach. Rotting nets, hung out to dry in the last century, decorated their weathered walls. Their broken faces spun stories in our minds. The fishermen who, tanned and wrinkled from sun and salt, hauled their nets full of splashing mullet in to cheers from the waiting crowds. The bounty of the sea lightened everyone's hearts, and the smell of roasting fish filled the damp air. Women fanned themselves from wagon seats. Children splashed in the shallow edges of the bay.
