Miranda sat in the high school computer lab typing like mad. It was 8:30 a.m., and her 1,000-word report on The Catcher in the Rye was due at 9:00. For the past hour, she had been flipping through the ratty pages of the old paperback trying to discern the major plot points and then typing out a few sentences that she hoped were logical. The only reason she was able to get into the lab that early was because she was one of Mrs. Brody’s assistants, but a couple of hours in the lab didn’t make up for weeks of zoning out in English class.

Miranda could kick herself, but she was too busy skimming through her notes and attempting to remember something—anything!—that Mr. Giuffreda had talked about. Mr. Giuffreda was a tough grader, and Miranda did not work well under pressure—not a great combination. On top of all that, Miranda could hear her mother’s voice in her head: “One more bad grade in English, young lady, and no more soccer team.” Miranda failed to see the relationship between soccer and book reports, but she also knew her mother wasn’t kidding. When she had slacked off in geometry last semester, her mother had taken away her cell phone for a month. Another time, when Miranda had missed her curfew—again and again—she had gotten grounded for two weeks.

Still typing, Miranda thought about Mr. Giuffreda. He expected nothing but the best—and then some. He never gave extensions unless someone had a family emergency, and he had a terrible habit of brushing off even the most creative excuses. Anyway, Miranda didn’t need an extra day or two. She needed time to read the entire novel again. Miranda ran a word count—361. She checked her watch—8:45. She flipped to the end of the book trying desperately to remember the ending, but nothing was coming to her. Why hadn’t she paid attention?

At 8:55, she had a whopping, miraculous 402 words. The homeroom bell had rung five minutes ago, and students were filing into the lab for first period. Miranda’s fingers were still flying, but by 8:59, Mrs. Brody asked Miranda to leave so she could start class on time. Miranda saved her work on her USB drive, collected her pages from the printer, and slung her knapsack over her shoulder. Then she trudged down the hall to Mr. Giuffreda’s class as slowly as possible, even though she knew she would be late and would probably get detention.
What can be inferred from the passage?


A.

Miranda will no longer be Mrs. Brody's assistant.

B.

Miranda did not finish her book report on time.

C.

Miranda usually does a lot better in English class.

D.

Miranda will ask Mr. Giuffreda for an extension.

Answer:

The policy is too old; it needs to be revised.

The management team wants to hire new warehouse workers.

If the customer buys four or more items from the catalog, offer a price reduction.

We should both feel comfortable with the final decision.

The corporate directors recommend a full investigation.

The board of directors has approved the current ethics policy.

The writer of a well-designed e-mail message knows correct grammar and spelling.

The initial proposals the team submitted reveal how hard they have worked.

Explanation:

The correct forms of the verb to fill the given blanks would be as mentioned above as they aptly follow the subject-verb agreement. According to the subject-verb agreement, the verb must agree with the subject in number and therefore, a singular subject takes a singular verb to agree and plural subject requires a plural verb. Since the sentences are in present indefinite tense(to denote universal truths, habitual actions, current actions, unchanging situations, etc.), the singular subjects would accompany verbs with s/es while the plural subjects would require the base form of the verb.

Young Anne Frank documents the Franks' and the Van Daans' daily activities in her journal, as well as the Nazi danger and changes within the family. Anne and her sister Margot are envious of her relationship with Peter Van Daan.

Since Anne Frank had never kept a journal before, she found writing one to be an odd experience. She received the one she was using while she was writing in as a gift on her thirteenth birthday.

In addition, Anne Frank imagined that no one would be interested in reading her thoughts when she was older.

Read the following passage and answer the question. Athena, daughter of storming Zeus had not cried out in a piercing voice that stopped all fighters cold, "Hold back you men of Ithaca, back from the brutal war! Break off – shed no more blood – make peace at once!" What is the meaning of the word piercing as it is used above? gentle, low loud, shrill muted, hushed soothing, soft

Answers

The correct answer is B. Loud, shrill

Explanation:

In the excerpt presented, the word "piercing" is used to describe the voice of Athena. In this, it explained her voice "stopped all fighters cold", this suggests her voice had a great impact, and therefore her voice can be described as loud or strident. According to this, the word "piercing" means "loud" or "shrill" because only a loud and shrill voice will have the effect of stopping fighters. Also, the powerful voice of Athena cannot be defined through other words such a soft or hushed.

discuss the use of any three images used in the black hermit that help bring out the theme for the story​

Answers

Answer:

Three images were used in "The Black Hermit" to help bring out the theme for the story which centered on Nationalism and Tribalism.  They are:

1) Jane, a comfort woman, depicted as an object of contentment, as Remi - the protagonist, found "contentment in the Jane, his new lover ..." in the city (emphasis on "the" is mine).  Mark the use of the article "the" in reference to Jane.  Thus, Jane was totally objectified, showing that she was not  regarded as a person, but an object from which Remi derived sexual satisfaction in the city where he exiled himself from his tribe.  The Jane is, therefore, an image of a woman, who provides sexual satisfaction.  The Jane could have been any woman, provided she played her role to Remi.

2) Another image was the use of "Youth" as "a cloth that can wear away."  It is true that youth is a passing age.  It does not last forever.  But, does youth wear away?  Yes, actually it does.  Like cloth, too much indulgence in youthful exuberances and "washing" of youthful age can lead it to "wear and tear."  This warns our youth to be mindful of how they use their time.  The beautiful, well-bottomed and breast-pointed lady soon becomes like a sexually unattractive and aged woman with shivering legs and sagging breasts.

3) The change of regime following independence from the colonial British empire was depicted as the tribally re-arranged marriage to Remi's late brother's wife, Thorni - a kind of change of baton.  Similarly, as independence was demanded by Kenyan nationalists, this particular tribal re-marriage was required by tribalists.  Remi would be handed leadership of the nation and a wife he did not love, thus depicting the inherent conflict between Nationalism and Tribalism.  Where does one's loyalty lie?  The tribal wife represents national leadership of the newly independent nation.  Is leadership forced on people without their total consent and aspiration?

Explanation:

"The Black Hermit" was a play written by  Ngugi wa Thiong’o, and first published in 1968.  The Makerere College Students Dramatic Society at the Ugandan National Theatre first played out the play on November 1962.

The Black Hermit chronicled the conflicts faced by African nationalists who won independence from their colonial masters.  African governments since independence have failed to solve the problems that confronted them.   These included tribalism, land clashes, and inequalities.

All over Nigeria, for instance, after 60 years of independence, the country has not found its bearing.  Every year there have been tribal wars and clashes.  Those entrusted with political leadership are yet to grasp the enormity of their responsibilities.  They actively play one citizen against the other, one tribe against the other, one religion against the other, and one political association against the other.  Tribal racism is still rampant in social, economic, and political spheres.  While they demonstrate against racism in the U.S., back home, they do everything to engender, promote, and sustain tribal, political, economic and religious racism, unmindful of the negative impact on their nations.

The play is divided into three parts: Act One, Act Two, and Act Three with three scenes each. The first and third acts occur in the countryside while the second one happened in the town.

The main character was Remi and the minor ones included Thoni, Nyobi, Omange, Pastor, Jane, and the elders.
