Answers
Answer:
I think it is D
Explanation: I was researching the piece and its meaning. It includes humor and describes the generation gap between a veteran/ an experienced person and his supercilious, arrogant, pompous and haughty son. If you read the 3rd line it states, "Yet you balanced an eel on the end of your nose" it uses a humorous tone.
The subject of the excerpt "You are Old, Father William" by Lewis Carroll is the age difference. Therefore, option C is correct.
What is known as the subject of an excerpt?The subject of an excerpt refers to the main topic or idea that is being discussed or presented in the text. It is the central theme or focus of the excerpt, and it is what the author is attempting to communicate to the reader.
The subject of an excerpt can be explicit or implicit, depending on how the author presents it. In some cases, the subject may be clearly stated in the text, while in others, the reader may need to infer the subject based on the context and the author's tone and language.
Thus, the subject of the excerpt is the age difference. Therefore, option C is correct.

Are there different rights for citizens and noncitizens? Should there be?
50-100 words
PLEASE HELP ASAP
Answers
Answer:
im not sure if this is what you asked but hope it helps :)
Explanation:
Rights Reserved to Citizens
The Constitution reserves a few rights for citizens alone. Most notably, the Privileges and Immunities Clause of Article IV, Section 2, and the Privileges or Immunities Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment both protect the “privileges” and “immunities” of US citizens against various types of interference by state governments.
The Second and Ninth Amendments indicate that the rights they protect are those of “the people.” While the Supreme Court has never addressed this issue, lower courts have disagreed over whether “the people” entitled to the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms includes noncitizens, especially undocumented immigrants.
That a few constitutional rights may be specifically reserved to citizens underscores the broader principle that the vast majority are not. There would be no need to specify such a reservation if the Constitution had a default rule limiting rights to citizens.
In reality, the vast majority of rights outlined in the Constitution are phrased as general limitations on government power, not special protections for a specific class of people — be they citizens or some other group.
Select all that apply.

FOR ANYONE WHO IS DOING GOTHIC LITERATURE AND NEEDS A SETTING PARAGRAPH I GOT CHU.
A Northerly wind blew bitterly, sending a shiver down my spine as I opened the rusty ancient iron gate. Overhead, grim clouds smothered out the full moon's light, casting the centuries old cemetery into an inky darkness.
Moving further into the cemetery, Gloomy derelict headstones dotted the landscape before me. Everywhere I turned, a thick field of fog would swallow me, yet the torch that I held still didn't relieve my un-steadied nerve. Among the skeletal trees, the wind whispered ‘run, run before they see you! The jagged path twisted and coiled into the distance, until it reached the ancient mausoleum of the first owner of the house.
The grave was nowhere to be seen.

At first I dreaded going to sixth grade camp. I was sure the food would be poisonous, I would freeze to death in my sleeping bag, and the other kids in my cabin would never talk to me. But was I wrong! In fact, it was the best week ever! I went horseback riding and participated in a ropes activity with a zip line course. After the course, I climbed to the top of a pole using only ropes and carabiner clips, and then I rappelled off the top. I even made a new best friend. Oh, by the way, the food was delicious. It tasted better than my mom's! (But don't tell her.)

Answer:
Hyperbole
Explanation:
Hyperbole is the figure of speech used to exaggerate one's point. For example, surely the food couldn't be poisonous because the camp would no longer be in business, but the author wanted to convey the idea that the 6th grader was very scared to go to camp, so the author used exaggeration.

In the past what happened after Hermione blocked albus's spell a)dolorous umbridge sent her to Azkaban b)Hermione watched helplessly as dementors swarmed Ron and Snape c) Cedric turned on Albus then killed him d) dementers sucked rons soul out of Hermione
Answers
Answer:
D
Explanation:
In the past, After Hermione blocked Albus's spell, dementers ripped Rons soul out of Hermione. Thus, option D is correct.
What was the theme of Harry Potter?The major subject of Harry Potter, according to Rowling, is death. Prejudice, corruption, and insanity are also significant topics in the series.
Act Three, Scene 1-11 of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child stated that after Hermione blocked Albus's enchantment, the Dementors were following the trio of Hermione, Scorpio, Ron, and Snape.
Hermione, on the other hand, felt the Dementors were only seeking her, therefore she was prepared to give up herself for the sake of others' safety. But not before she proclaimed her love for Ron. In exchange, Ron has elected to stay rather than flee, preferring to be slaughtered with her.
Therefore, both Hermione and Ron stayed behind and "Dementors ripped out Ron and Hermione's souls." Hence, option D is correct.

Describe in detail the trick that Penelope used to deceive the suitors and hold off a marriage. PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST.
Answers
Answer:
Penelope said that before she married, she had to weave a burial shroud for Lord Laertes. At night, she would in weave what she had done during the day to hold off the suitors. After three years they discover her trick, and she is forced to finish the shroud.
Answer:
She claimed that she would choose a husband as soon as the shroud was completed. By day, the queen, a renowned weaver, worked on a great loom in the royal halls. At night, she secretly unraveled what she had done, amazingly deceiving the young suitors. Her ploy failed only when one of her servants eventually betrayed her and told the suitors what was happening.
The contest of the bow and axes is another example of Penelope's guile; it also illustrates her wry sense of destiny. After Odysseus returns to Ithaca, the queen announces first to the visiting beggar, whom she suspects to be Odysseus, that she will hold a contest in which the suitors will be asked to string the great bow of Odysseus and shoot an arrow through a dozen axes, an old trick of her husband's, and that she will be the wife of the man who can perform the feat. The choice of this particular contest is no coincidence; Penelope knows exactly what she is doing. If the old beggar really is Odysseus in disguise, he alone has any realistic chance of winning the contest.
