Now Zeus the lord of cloud roused in the north
a storm against the ships and driving veils
of squall moved down like night on land and sea.
The bows went plunging at the gust, sails
cracked and lashed out strips in the big wind.
We saw death in that fury, dropped the yards
unshipped the oars, and pulled for the nearest lee.
then two long days and nights we lay offshore
worn out and sick at heart, tasting our grief,
until a third Dawn came with ringlets shining

both.
The text includes many technical terms, or jargon.
The text reveals the thoughts of a spy.
The text supports an idea with a hypothetical example,
or a made-up situation.
Arthur Zimmermann had no idea that "Blinker"
Hall had read his secret message. But now that
Hall had read it, what could he do with this
information? On one hand, he believed that
President Wilson, faced with the information in
the telegram, would declare war on Germany. On
the other hand, to share the telegram with Wilson
would surely alert Berlin that the British had been
reading their secret messages. As he walked
back to his office, Hall considered ways that he
could share the intelligence in the Zimmermann
telegram and establish its authenticity without
letting Berlin know that Room 40 had intercepted
and read hundreds of their secret messages.

Explanation:
The controlling idea and Mandella speech is that his actions were justified.which of the following details is most important in supporting this idea?
A.He practiced law
B.The ANC tried all other options before becoming violent.
C.Mandela was raised by a tribal chief
D. African who peacefully protested against the government were arrested.
Please select the best answer from the choices provided
The correct answer is B. The ANC tried all other options before becoming violent.
Explanation:
In a speech, the controlling idea is the main point in a speech, which includes the topic or issue the speaker will explain and the focus on it. Additionally, the controlling idea is explained using supporting ideas as well as evidence. This implies that in the speech of Mandela the focus is to explain how some of his actions were justified and why.
In this context, an appropriate supporting idea is "The ANC tried all other options before becoming violent" because the African National Congress led by Nelson Mandela first use non-violent strategies to fight against apartheid (system of racial segregation) in Africa; however, these strategies did not have a result and were responded by opposers with a massacre, which motivated the ANC to form a guerilla. Therefore, the actions of Mandela were justified or had a legitimate reason, and one statement that shows this is the fact the ANC and Mandela tried all other options before they considered violence, and violence occurred only because opposers responded with violence.

Finally, if the book has no main characters, describe the main forces that are moving the events of the story forward. (any story)
Since you said any story, I will use the novel "The Great Gatsby", by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Answer and Explanation:
Jay Gatsby - the main character. Gatsby wants it all - wealth, fame, love. But there are two driving forces that will lead to his ruin. First, he wants to be accepted by the rich as one of them. However, he is "new money". He has not inherited his wealth or name, which makes him "less than" in the eyes of the wealthy. Also, he has made his money criminally. That too is a reason for his shunning. Second, Gatsby wants Daisy's love, but he demands it in an impossible way. He wants her to tell her husband that she has never loved him. Gatsby wants to recreate the past, to pretend Daisy and him were never separated. The impossibility of those dreams will cause his death.
Nick Carraway - the narrator, Gatsby's neighbor, Daisy's cousin. Nick is driven by his ability to refrain from judging people too soon. That is a quality he learned from his father. He abstains from judging, which allows people to befriend and trust him, like Gatsby does. However, that ends up involving him in several inconvenient situations. Nick often finds himself witness to people's affairs and vices.
Daisy Buchanan - Gatsby's love interest, Tom's wife. Daisy is superficial. She and her husband Tom are "old money", meaning they inherited their names and wealth. Daisy is deeply unhappy but conceals such feeling under a façade of fun, lightness, disinterest. That façade is what drives her, compels her to act. She depends on other people's company and on parties and social events to distract her from her senseless life.
Tom Buchanan - a former polo player, and very wealthy, Tom is used to having everything he wants in life. Racist and misogynistic, Tom cheats on Daisy. What drives him is the sense of power he derives from his actions. Every affair, every woman, every friend and social event server the purpose of making Tom feel better about himself. He sees himself as stronger, superior, and he will do anything to justify that.

Explanation:
In James Joyce's "Araby," the narrator uses light and dark imagery to set the tone and mood of the story and also to describe the nature of life on the street on which he lived. Which word from this excerpt indicates the street’s dead-end location and its dullness? North Richmond Street, being blind, was a quiet street except at the hour when the Christian Brothers' School set the boys free. An uninhabited house of two storeys stood at the blind end, detached from its neighbours in a square ground. The other houses of the street, conscious of decent lives within them, gazed at one another with brown imperturbable faces.
Answer:
Explanation:
Araby is a short story by JAMES Joyce that explores themes of disillusionment, longing and the loss of innocence.
"Gazing up into the darkness, I saw myself as a creature driven and derided by vanity; and my eyes burned with anguish and anger" reflects the contrast between idealized fantasies and harsh realities of life, emphasizing the boy's growing awareness of the limitations and disappointment that come with adulthood hence indicating the street's dead-end dullness and location.

Chris can choose plan a or plan b for his long distance charges. For each plan, cost (in dollars) depends on minutes used (per month) as shown below
Answer:
(The whole question can be seen in the Attachment)
(a) Plan A , $6
(b) 160 minutes, Plan B
Explanation:
(a)If Chris makes 40 mins of calls for the month, which plan costs less?
In the graph, it can clearly be seen that for 40 mins, Plan A costs $4 while Plan B costs $10. So Plan A costs less.
How much less does it cost than the other plan?
Plan B cost $10 while Plan A costs $4. So Plan A costs $10-$4=$6 less than plan B
(b)For what number of minutes both plans have the same cost?
We can see from the graph that both plans A and B coincide at 160 mins where the cost of both plans become $16
If the time spent on calls is more than this amount, which plan cost less?
Plan B costs less after time spent on call exceeds 160 mins.

Read the rough draft of a student’s conclusion to an argumentative editorial.
(1) Year-round schooling would help student achievement. (2) Not so much information would have to be crammed into nine months. (3) Furthermore, the elimination of long breaks, particularly summer break, would significantly reduce "learning loss” and the additional time wasted at the beginning of each academic year to reteach previously learned material. (4) It is clear that year-round schooling helps students learn and retain more. (5) The United States is not the only country to experiment with a year-round school schedule. (6) Although many still claim that evidence about year-round school and its link to higher achievement is inconclusive, these people need to open their eyes and see that students in these schools consistently score higher on certain assessments than students who attend schools with traditional nine-month calendars. (7) It is about time that we replaced our outdated and inefficient school calendars.
Which best revises sentence 6 to create a more appropriate and respectful tone?
Although many still claim that evidence about year-round school and its link to higher achievement is inconclusive, studies consistently reveal that year-round students score higher on certain assessments than those students who attend schools with traditional nine-month calendars.
Although many still claim that evidence about year-round school and its link to higher achievement is inconclusive, this theory is wrong because students in year-round schools consistently score higher on certain assessments than those students who attend schools with traditional nine-month calendars.
Although many still claim that evidence about year-round school and its link to higher achievement is inconclusive, they would admit defeat if only they would do their research and find that students in year-round schools consistently score higher on certain assessments than those students who attend schools with traditional nine-month calendars.
Although many still claim that evidence about year-round school and its link to higher achievement is inconclusive, these people need to study their facts and acknowledge that students in year-round schools consistently score higher on certain assessments than those students who attend schools with traditional nine-month calendars.
e
Answer:
I would say that the best revision to sentence 6 is the first fragment: "Although many still claim that evidence about year-round school and its link to higher achievement is inconclusive, studies consistently reveal that year-round students score higher on certain assessments than those students who attend schools with traditional nine-month calendars."
It is the fragment with the most appropriate and respectful tone since it mentions the consistency of certain studies and supports the main clain with those studies and their revelations, using an ethos rethorical approach.
The other options do not provide other sources of information to support the main claim, and they focus on discrediting the counterclaimants or even regarding them in a paternalistic way.

Part C
How do the friends influence the narrator?
Answer:
This question doesn't really tell us much.
Explanation:
Answer:
The friends have a large influence on the narrator. Almost everything we learn about the narrator is because of the friends’ actions. From the beginning, the narrator is suspicious and cautious because he knows his friends like to play practical jokes. He states, “My friends were fond of practical jokes. I do not care to know people who are not.” His friends are very kind to him and are continuously laughing, which makes him even more suspicious. Here, he describes what he thinks of his friends: “They must have planned some good joke. Assuredly I am to be the victim of the joke. Attention!” He is so paranoid by his friends’ actions that he ends up causing the incident they all laugh about.

Which story premise most clearly contains a supernatural element
Answer:
B.
Explanation:
The answer to this is "B. Dr. Weatherford hopes for some good luck as she gets ready to do surgery. " This is because all of the other options have a cause and effect produced by actual events and/or human individuals. Dr. Weatherford relying on luck (which is a phenomenon or superstition) opens the door for many different supernatural elements to appear centerfold in the story. Even "Every time a certain church bell rings, something terrible happens to Guy " is a cause and effect since the church bell acts as a signal for someone else to do something terrible to another individual.
The story premise that most clearly contains a supernatural element is Option A: every time a certain church bell rings, something terrible happens to Guy.
Which story premise most clearly contains a supernatural element?In this premise, the ringing of a specific church bell is associated with unfortunate events befalling a character named Guy. The supernatural element is implied by the cause-and-effect relationship between the bell ringing and the occurrence of these terrible incidents, suggesting a supernatural force or curse at play.
This premise introduces an intriguing mystery and sets the stage for exploring the supernatural realm within the story. The Option A is correct.
