"A twenty-two," [Rainsford] remarked. "That's odd. It must have been a fairly large animal too. The hunter had his nerve with him to tackle it with a light gun. It's clear that the brute put up a fight. I suppose the first three shots I heard was when the hunter flushed his quarry and wounded it. The last shot was when he trailed it here and finished it." He examined the ground closely and found what he had hoped to find – the print of hunting boots. They pointed along the cliff in the direction he had been going. Eagerly he hurried along, now slipping on a rotten log or a loose stone, but making headway; night was beginning to settle down on the island. —"The Most Dangerous Game," Richard Connell

2. B ."had his nerve"
3. A. He thinks he will be safe with the hunter
4. C. "eagerly"
Explanation:
The excerpt we are studying here was taken from Richard Connell's short story "The Most Dangerous Game". Rainsford, the main character, is a famous experienced hunter who accidentally falls off a yatch, ending up on General Zaroff's island.
Even if we did not know Rainsford is a hunter, we would be able to tell he knows a lot about hunting after reading the passage. From the signs and tracks he sees and the sounds he hears, he knows what kind of weapon was used, how large the animal was, if there was a struggle on the animal's part and so on. That is why number 1 should be answered with A. He knows a lot about hunting.
Also, when Rainsford says "[t]he hunter had his nerve with him," he is complimenting the unknown hunter's courage to follow the animal. That is why number 2 should be answered with B ."had his nerve".
Numbers 3 and 4 are based on the same line: "Eagerly he hurried along." Why is Rainsford eager to meet the hunter? Because he will feel safer. So far, he does not know that Zaroff is hunting other men; Rainsford still thinks there are large animals on the loose on the island. He would rather find the hunter than the animals. So, numbers 3 and 4 should be answered with A. He thinks he will be safe with the hunter and C. "eagerly", respectively.
Answer:
1. A. He knows a lot about hunting
2. B ."had his nerve"
3. A. He thinks he will be safe with the hunter
4. C. "eagerly"

This question is incomplete. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
Rewrite the sentences in the negative form
1. Harsh helps in the kitchen.
2. It is raining.
3. Nidhi has a pet dog.
4. Susie and Shyama are working in the garden.
5. We are scared of spiders.
6. I am tired.
7. Ravi and his friends play football every evening.
8. I am in a meeting now.
9. Larry has a blue bicycle.
10. The student is punctual.
Answer:
1. Harsh helps in the kitchen. - Harsh doesn't help in the kitchen.
2. It is raining. - It isn't raining.
3. Nidhi has a pet dog. - Nidhi doesn't have a pet dog.
4. Susie and Shyama are working in the garden. - Susie and Shyama aren't working in the garden.
5. We are scared of spiders. - We aren't scared of spiders.
6. I am tired. - I am not tired.
7. Ravi and his friends play football every evening. - Ravi and his friends don't play football every evening.
8. I am in a meeting now. - I am not in a meeting right now.
9. Larry has a blue bicycle. - Larry doesn't have a blue bicycle.
10. The student is punctual. - The student isn't punctual.
Explanation:
The sentences above are either in the Simple Present Tense or in the Present Continuous Tense.
For those in the Simple Present which do not have the verb to be, we need to use the auxiliary verb "do". When the subject is in the third person singular (he, she, it), the auxiliary is conjugated, becoming "does". Since we are writing negative sentences, we can contract the auxiliary with the word "not", forming "don't" and "doesn't". That is what we did in the sentences below:
1. Harsh helps in the kitchen. - Harsh doesn't help in the kitchen.
3. Nidhi has a pet dog. - Nidhi doesn't have a pet dog.
7. Ravi and his friends play football every evening. - Ravi and his friends don't play football every evening.
9. Larry has a blue bicycle. - Larry doesn't have a blue bicycle.
Now, if the sentence has the verb to be - be it in the Simple Present or in the Present Continuous - we can contract the verb to be with "not". That is what we did in:
2. It is raining. - It isn't raining.
4. Susie and Shyama are working in the garden. - Susie and Shyama aren't working in the garden.
5. We are scared of spiders. - We aren't scared of spiders.
6. I am tired. - I am not tired.
8. I am in a meeting now. - I am not in a meeting right now.
10. The student is punctual. - The student isn't punctual.

Explain Why Tolerance in A workplace is crucial (Essay) word limit 300:
Answer:
Tolerance in the workplace is crucial for everything to function properly.
Explanation:
The first thing is to be clear that we are all different and that there will be ways of acting with which we can agree and others with which we cannot. Tolerance does not mean agreeing with everyone or everything, in work teams, it does not even mean reluctantly accepting what does not seem right to us.
Tolerance as part of teamwork implies respecting and trying to reach agreements being as objective as possible in terms of team objectives.
And it is that human beings are naturally diverse, but this does not mean that we are incapable of listening and communicating, with the clear objective of entering into agreements without ceasing to be who we are. It is a reality that in any company different people converge, owners of traits and qualities that distinguish them, but that within the organization they need to establish harmonious links to form successful work teams.
But, on the contrary,when being tolerant, the other is listened to, they are respected, it does not mean fully sharing their way of seeing, thinking or acting, not even that we have to like the person or that we have to spend time with them, but simply that we allow it to be, see, think, feel or act in its own way.
Although this can be very enriching for a company, it also implies the coexistence between different points of view; The fact that these differences exist is not the negative, what clouds the work environment is the fact of thinking that only one point of view is valid or that that of another member of the work team contributes less than the rest.
A tolerant work environment can lead to more fluid, honest, and open communication. This implies greater cooperation, loyalty, and of course greater productivity.

Revise the following paragraph, improving it without changing its overall meaning.
I usually am flying economy class, but last year I flied first-class on a trip from Vermont to Texas. This is how it happened. When I arriving at the airport, the attendant told me the airline had overbooked, which meant they were selling too many tickets for that flight. I were not in a hurry, so I offered to go on the next flight. Then I found out there were an extra seat after all—it was first class! As I sat in my first-class seat, I notice the ride was much quieter and smoother than in other parts of the plane. When I buzzed the flight attendants, they are arriving right away. Also, there was enough fleece blankets for everyone, so I was able to cover myself when the cabin got too cool. Because the seats were so large, I had lots of room to stretch my legs. Best of all, the first-class meal was really good. All of these pleasant surprises made the flight seem shorter than any other flight I have took before.

Answer:
The third one
Explanation:
The colon is used to separate independent clauses, usually as a way to lead the first sentence into the second one. The first one's first sentence is not an independent clause, so a colon doesn't work. The last one doesn't work either, as a semicolon is not typically used to introduce anything. The rest use commas, which aren't used to introduce anything either.

What point of view is the poem "The Song of the Storm -- Spirits" written in?
Answer:
First person point of view.
Explanation:
Point of view is the perspective from which the story or poem is narrated. It is through this "voice" that the readers are able to learn or "see" or "hear" about the story or poem.
The poem "The Song of the Storm-Spirits" by Cale Young Rice is narrated in the first person point of view. This is evident from the line "Not dance as we", where the speaker uses the first narrative voice/ point of view "we".
Thus, the point of view of this poem is first person point of view.
The title of the poem the legend alludes to
Answer:
The character of the man who is shot on the street.
Explanation:
The name of poem "The Legend" has many different interpretations. However, the most significant one is the fact that the author wants us to identify this man as a "legend." This is not because of what happens to him, but because of what he makes us realize about ourselves. The story of the man resembles a legend because he was ignored and under appreciated in his own society. People were unsympathetic to him, even when he lay dying. However, he will achieve his redemption in heaven, and the story will become one of hope for society, much like other legends.

Which two excerpts in the passage supports the claim that Paine believed the cost of the colonists' struggle against the British was well worth the outcome?
The Crisis, No. 1
by Thomas Paine (adapted excerpt)
. . . I turn with the warm ardor of a friend to those who have nobly stood, and are yet determined to stand the matter out: I call not upon a few, but upon all: not on this state or that state, but on every state: up and help us; lay your shoulders to the wheel; better have too much force than too little, when so great an object is at stake. Let it be told to the future world, that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive, that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet and to repulse it. Say not that thousands are gone, turn out your tens of thousands; throw not the burden of the day upon Providence, but "show your faith by your works," that you may be blessed. It matters not where you live, or what rank of life you hold, the effect or the blessing will reach you all. The far and the near, the home counties and the back, the rich and the poor, will suffer or rejoice alike. The heart that feels not now is cold; the children will criticize his cowardice, who shrinks back at a time when a little might have saved the whole, and made them happy. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles. My own line of reasoning is to myself as straight and clear as a ray of light. Not all the treasures of the world, so far as I believe, could have induced me to support an offensive, for I think it wrong; but if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and threatens me, or those that are in it, and to "bind me in all cases whatsoever" to his absolute will, am I to suffer it?
Explanation:
1.The children will criticize his cowardice, who shrinks back at a time when a little might have saved the whole, and made them happy.
2.Say not that thousands are gone ,turn out your tense of thousands

3) Mr. Nilson's doubts about whether to eat or to visit the garden illustrate the difficulty of balancing physical and emotional needs.
4) Mr. Nilson's uneasiness about watching his neighbor retum home demonstrates the struggle between curiosity and respect for privacy.
Answer:
1) Mr. Nilson's anxiety about interacting neighbor highlights the consequences of isolating oneself from experience.
Explanation:
In "The Japanese Quince" we are introduced to Mr. Nilson, who is a businessman accustomed to presenting a practical and haughty image that the profession requires. However, one day when admiring a tree in his garden, he shows a certain vulnerability, as it shows that he was touched by nature. At that moment, he leaves the house to enjoy the tree more closely and meets the neighbor he never met, but who looks a lot like him. When he looks at his neighbor, it is as if he is looking at himself through the mirror. He does not want to face and experience his own vulnerability and therefore decides to return home, where he can be free from the image of the neighbor, who represents what he is.
