The Sahara stretches across northern Africa from the coast of the Red Sea in the east all the way to the Atlantic Ocean in the west.


Why does the author MOST LIKELY use the word stretches in this sentence?

Question 4 options:

to emphasize the vast size of the desert


to reveal that the desert is increasing in size


to show that the desert is in the northern part of Africa

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A). To emphasize the vast size of the desert.

Explanation:

Word-choice always plays a significant role in conveying the intended meaning precisely and effectively to the readers. In the given excerpt, the word 'stretch' is deliberately employed to highlight the 'extensive size of the desert' ranging from 'the coast of the Red Sea in the east to the Atlantic Ocean in the west.' This helps convey the enormous area covered by this desert and the vastness of its size. Thus, option A is the correct answer.

Very often, people who enter an elevator will face the direction that the other people are already facing. Your task is to ride an elevator for several floors eight times. Enter the elevator and stand the opposite direction of how the other people are standing. Take note of what happens. Do the present people turn and face in the direction you stand? Do the people who load onto the elevator after you choose to stand in the direction you stand? Exit the elevator after traveling a few floors. Then get ready to repeat the process seven more times. Print out the data collection sheet and keep a pencil handy but out of sight. Each time you exit the elevator, take a minute to record any conforming behavior. Were you able to influence the direction that people stood when they entered the elevator? (Yes/No). Did people change their standing direction while already in the elevator? (Yes/No) Write a few paragraphs describing your elevator experience. Provide details for each of your eight trials. Describe whether or not you experienced people conforming while riding the elevator. What's your opinion of this?

Answers

In the first trial there were quite a few people in the elevator and when I got in and turned the opposite direction nobody turned around or changed directions. The second time there was only was only two people in the elevator and when new people got to get in they turned the way I was facing. The third trial there was five people in the elevator and when I faced the opposite direction they turned the direction I was facing. The fourth and fifth trials there was not many people in the elevator and nobody turned my direction but this may have been because the people in the elevator were a family and stuck with what each other did over what a stranger did. The sixth trial I was the only one in the elevator and when new people got in they changed the direction I was facing. The seventh trial nobody turned the direction I was facing until one person did and then the three other people in the elevator also did this. The eighth and final trial there was seven people in the elevator and nobody turned.

I think that the people may have turned around because they thought that the elevator would open that way because some of them seemed very surprised when they had to turn back around to get out of the elevator. Another reason this may have the people may have turned around when I did is because humans desire to follow the pack and one part of the pack did something different they assume it is for a reason.

nothing other than the next step and keeping my tempo. I soared over the

Answers

I've looked this question up online. The options are simply:

a. First Person

b. Second Person

c. Third Person

Answer:

The point of view in this paragraph is:

a. First person.

Explanation:

The narrator of the excerpt is telling the story from a first-person point of view. The easiest way to confirm that is by taking a look at the pronouns used:

The dew on the grass made  my running shoes damp. It didn't bother me. The sound of my feet hitting  the street formed a rhythm, a steady pattern of light thumps. I timed my breathing with the rhythm.

First-person narrators use first-person pronouns such as "I" and "me". This type of narrator gives us his/her own perspective on things. That means we accompany this narrator throughout the story, see things from his perspective, and only get to know what he knows. One advantage of first-person point of view is that we get to dive deeper into the narrator's feelings and thoughts. One disadvantage is that he is a biased narrator, which makes him untrustworthy.

Answer: First person.

Answers

Answer: B. Nicholas was not happy with his aunt  for her treatment of him and did not want  to help her out.

Explanation:

In 'The Lumber-Room’ by Saki, we see a mischievous boy named Nicholas as he tries to out-wit his aunt who had refused him going on a trip with other children because he had refused to eat his breakfast which he claimed had a frog in it.

When she was trapped in the rain-water tank, Nicholas refused to help her out and instead toyed with her to the point of exasperation and still does not let her out because he was unhappy with the way she had treated him.

This is an excerpt from the poem "The Raven" written by Edgar Alan Poe.

Explanation:

"The Raven" is a narrative poem, published in 1845 that rattles the lamentations of a man who lost his beloved woman and who is progressively going crazy, to the point of believing that he is having a conversation with a talking raven. This poem is recognized worldwide and is part of one of the landmarks of literature, mainly because of its musicality, stylized language and gothic and supernatural atmosphere that is one of Poe's main characteristics.

Answer:

this is the poem "The Raven"

Explanation:

Read the passage from Animal Farm.

"You have heard then, comrades," he said, "that we pigs now sleep in the beds of the farmhouse? And why not? You did not suppose, surely, that there was ever a ruling against beds? A bed merely means a place to sleep in. A pile of straw in a stall is a bed, properly regarded. The rule was against sheets, which are a human invention. We have removed the sheets from the farmhouse beds, and sleep between blankets. And very comfortable beds they are too! But not more comfortable than we need, I can tell you, comrades, with all the brainwork we have to do nowadays. You would not rob us of our repose, would you, comrades? You would not have us too tired to carry out our duties? Surely none of you wishes to see Jones back?"

Which statement best describes how propaganda reinforces one of the themes of Animal Farm in this passage?

Who were the Pullman porters and why were they important in history?

Pullman porters were men hired to work as sleeping car porters on railroads. George Pullman began hiring former slaves to work on his sleeper cars shortly after the American Civil War. Their duties included transporting passengers' luggage, shining shoes, setting up and maintaining sleeping berths, and serving passengers.

In Montgomery, Alabama, it was a Pullman porter named E.D. Nixon who paid Rosa Parks' bail and asked a young Martin Luther King, Jr. to lead a bus boycott. Through their tenacious organizing, the porters not only improved their own lives and working conditions, but they also laid the groundwork for the civil rights movement.

Thus, the ideal selection is option C.

I will answer this question with an example of a film I found particularly powerful. This is a personal question so it would be better if you choose a film you liked it, and take my answer as a model.

Explanation:

Title: The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1

Genre: Science fiction / Adventure

Director: Francis Lawrence

Stars: Katniss Everdeen, Peeta Mellark, Gale Hawthorne.

Plot:   After participating in the Third Quarter of the 25 and making it out alive again, Katniss Everdeen faces her most difficult battle.

Injured and even mentally affected, she must adjust to her new life after the rebels from the 'missing' District 13 rescue her. But Peeta Mellark does not suffer the same fate and, along with other tributes such as Johanna Mason and Enobaria, is captured by the Capitol, which subjects him to terrible psychological torture, which even makes him doubt his true feelings towards Katniss.

Life in District 13 is not as easy as Katniss imagined, much less now that she is short of allies. She cannot count on Finnick Odair, very upset by the abduction of fiancée Annie Cresta, and neither on her mentor Haymitch Abernathy, whom she cannot trust after he deceived her by hiding her rescue plan from her. she. To that must be added her difficult relationship with Alma Coin, president of District 13 who wishes by all means to make her a symbol of the revolution and use the category of her Mockingjay to infect the rest of the districts.

Character and setting: The main character is Katniss Everdeen and the setting is District 13.

Here comes the reality, the reality of all the damage, pain, and destruction wrought by a world dominated and dictated by the Capitol. It is no longer an annual game, it is no longer propaganda, fun or easy taming of the districts. The third part of this saga puts aside the action consequence of the games to focus on a dark plot of pain and despair that leads to the revolution of the districts. Now it is a war, a war that the Capitol intends to win but the fury of the districts is such that they fight for their freedom. With the sweet image of Katniss, incites to fight to end the Capitol now or never. Katniss's pain is felt throughout the internal battle between being a Mockingjay or saving Peeta. The feature film is perfect because it makes the whole saga as a whole encompass a large number of genres and stir you inside.
