(25 POINTS)
Read the following selection carefully, paying close attention to detail.

She was thirty–eight or thirty–nine. She lived in a small frame house with her invalid mother and a thin, sallow, unflagging aunt, where each morning between ten and eleven she would appear on the porch in a lace–trimmed boudoir cap, to sit swinging in the porch swing until noon. After dinner she lay down for a while, until the afternoon began to cool. Then, in one of the three or four new voile dresses which she had each summer, she would go downtown to spend the afternoon in the stores with the other ladies, where they would handle the goods and haggle over the prices in cold, immediate voices, without any intention of buying.She was of comfortable people — not the best in Jefferson, but good people enough — and she was still on the slender side of ordinary looking, with a bright faintly haggard manner and dress. When she was young she had a slender, nervous body and a sort of hard vivacity which had enabled her for a time to ride upon the crest of the town's social life as exemplified by the high school party and church social period of her contemporaries while still children enough to be unclassconscious. She was the last to realize that she was losing ground; that those among whom she had been a little brighter and louder flame than any other were beginning to learn the pleasure of snobbery–male–and–retaliation–female. That was when her face began to wear that bright, haggard look. She still carried it to parties on shadowy porticoes and summer lawns, like a mask or a flag, with that bafflement of furious repudiation of truth in her eyes. One evening at a party she heard a boy and two girls, all schoolmates, talking. She never accepted another invitation.

Answer:

ADAM SMITH

Explanation:

ADAM SMITH (1723-1790)

A key figure of the Scottish Enlightenment, Smith is the giant on whose shoulders subsequent economists have stood. He is best known for The Wealth Of Nations, his 1776 landmark book on economics, published at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution  -  and was even consulted on economic matters by Pitt The Elder, the Whig politician and Prime Minister. His arguments for free trade, market competition and the morality of private enterprise remain as fresh and influential as when written over 200 years ago. That said, Smith  -  who studied and later taught at Glasgow University  -  saw only a limited role for government and was hostile to economic nationalism. However, his arguments have at times been misinterpreted by free marketeers in recent decades. The fact is that he did not believe in 'laissezfaire' (an earlier French doctrine opposing any government intervention in economic matters)  -  he saw government's sole job as to establish law and justice, and provide for the nation's education and basic infrastructure.

Answer:

The 2003 invasion and occupation of Iraq is widely considered to have been one of the biggest military blunders in U.S. history.  Its failure to achieve intended war aims is reflected in the fact that 11 years after the operation began, Washington today is debating what steps should be taken to slow the advance of Islamic militants toward Baghdad.  Rather than establishing a stable, self-sustaining democracy, the U.S. occupation unleashed forces which may now lead to the country's breakup -- not to mention millions of casualties.

Answer: RHYME AND METER MY FREN.

Explanation: One of the ways Chaucer creates an effective exemplum in this  is by using rhyme and meter.

This question concerns Act 2 of the play "A Doll's House". I've found the options online. They are the following:

What evidence from the text supports the prediction that Helmer will learn the contents of the letter? Select three options.

Helmer knows that there is a piece of mail from Krogstad in the box.

Nora looks at her watch and tells herself she has 31 hours to live.

Helmer thinks that Nora is nervous and dismisses her pleas about the mail.

Mrs. Linde fails to find Krogstad so he can take back the piece of mail.

Nora expresses her intention of having a champagne banquet.

Answer:

The three correct options are:

A. Helmer knows that there is a piece of mail from Krogstad in the box.

C. Helmer thinks that Nora is nervous and dismisses her pleas about the mail.

D. Mrs. Linde fails to find Krogstad so he can take back the piece of mail.

Explanation:

Krogstad is blackmailing Nora. Krogstad works for Helmer, Nora's husband, but Helmer has decided to fire him. Since Krogstad knows about an illegal loan Nora has taken from the bank where they work, he is threatening to reveal that in case Nora does not convince her husband to give him his job back.

In Act 2, Nora is desperate because she knows there is a letter from Krogstad to her husband in the letter box, and so does Helmer. She pleads with him to not read any mail until after a party the next day, but Helmer thinks she is doing this out of nervousness and dismisses her pleas. To make matters worse, Nora's friend, Mrs. Linde, fails to contact Krogstad and ask him to retrieve the letter. All of that is evidence that support the prediction that Helmer will learn the contents of the letter.

Dear diary,

I know I haven't written in you for awhile, but I've been busy with school. I had a really cool teacher this year that helped me through US History. Okay, it took a bit of energy and yeah maybe it wasn't personally fun fighting with myself to remember answers, but he had a game that helped me practice and beat the tests and quizes. At the time I was in class he waited until everyone was done with notes and gave us a free 100% for every chapter notes we finished. He helped everyone and got them finished in time.

I hope I have this teacher again next year.

Dear diary,

- People who talk while their mouth is full

And that’s all I could think of..and these bother me because they just do. Like it’s rude, unhygienic, and not environmentally friendly.

Coronavirus is making lives agitated and stressed. Not only are we worried about getting sick, but we also have to stay at home, and most of us don't get much exercise. People are also craving socialization, and this isn't safe. People have to move online and stay at home. People are being pent up, and this makes people bored, moody, and tired.

Coronavirus is affecting me in many ways. I can't travel because of the risk. I can't socialize and I can't see anyone. My best friend has it and it sucks but I have hope that everything is gonna be ok!

Answer:

Little is to say to Floyd's friends and family in such a painful moment. However, I do believe that his death has had a powerful impact and them knowing that it might be able to change the world as we know it, could provide them some comfort.

Explanation:

The police violence against George Floyd is no different from any other African American experience with the police, and it saddens me that only because this case became filmed and viral online, is that people are now paying attention.

The protests feel like an eruption that could not be avoided, because impunity has gone too far, and people are rightfully angry. And the police brutality against those protesting is only one more proof of that rightfulness.  

I feel that at this point is time to listen to African Americans and make sure that governmental policies are applied to fix the inherent racism in our society, not only by the police but also in every microaggression we all reproduce in our everyday lives.

I´m scared that these events may not be enough, that eventually the media will stop focusing on this issue. It´s on every one of us to keep this conversation going, to make sure policies are changed, to vote for those who believe in equality, and to revise our own behaviors to ensure change happens.

3. A porcupine.

Explanation:

From the file attached, the excerpt is from Chapter 8 of The Hatchet by Gary Paulsen where he describes how Brian was attacked in the middle of the night by a weird animal which he could not see in the darkness. From the narrative, the animal smelt of rot, it slithered and made a brushing sound towards his legs and he kicked out and threw a hatchet but missed.

His legs felt as if "a hundred needles have been driven into it" and he touched the group of needles that were stuck in his legs and discovered they were quils from a porcupine.

Answer:

An ode and an elegy may have different poetic structures.

Explanation:

Ode and elegies are both forms of lyric poetry that emerged in Ancient Greece, however, they differ in some aspects. Firstly, odes are mainly to praise or recognize the goals achieved by someone or some event, on the other hand, elegies are used to recognize the life of someone who died or to express the mourning for the death of someone. Additionally, both forms of lyrical poetry or stanza differ on their structures, while odes are divided into three major parts the strophe, the antistrophe and the epode, that consisted on different sections with different verse structures or irregular stanzas. On the other hand, the elegy structure consisted on hexameter verses that are verse composed by six feet (combination of two, three or four syllables), followed by pentameter verses, which are verses with ten feet. Thus,  the poetic structure of the ode and elegy are different as odes have irregular structures but elegies follow a combination of hexameter and pentameter verses.
