In 1999, Steve Gowan spotted something clinging to his fishing nets. It was a very old bottle containing two letters written by Private Thomas Hughes, dated September 9, 1914. The first message asked the person that found the bottle to forward the second message to Hughes' wife, Elizabeth. The note for Elizabeth was a nice, simple love letter, showing that his wife was in his thoughts as he made his way to France to fight in the early days of World War I.
emily_bottleAfter reading the letters, Gowan felt a great personal responsibility to see that they found their way home, even though he assumed Mrs. Hughes had died long ago. He began searching for her descendants and soon learned that Thomas and Elizabeth Hughes' daughter was still alive in Auckland, New Zealand.
Sadly, Hughes died in battle shortly after he wrote the letters, so he never got to see Elizabeth, nor his two-year old daughter, Emily, ever again. Due to her young age at the time of his death, Emily never knew her father, though she grew up listening to stories about him from her mother and cherishing his posthumously award medals. So when The New Zealand Post offered to send Gowan to Auckland to hand deliver the bottle to Emily, he jumped at the chance to help her connect to this lost piece of her past.
For Emily, the bottle was a great source of joy and comfort. She said her father's message couldn't come home "until the right boat came along at the right time with the right fisherman."

How does a filmmaker decide which events to include in a documentary?
Read these lines from "The Snow-Storm.” The sled and traveler stopped, the courier's feet Delayed, all friends shut out, the housemates sit Around the radiant fireplace, enclosed In a tumultuous privacy of storm. How do these lines develop the theme that a life momentarily delayed means a loss of control? They illustrate the fact that even though a snowstorm is a force of nature that slows down our regular routines, it can be quickly overcome. They compare the snowstorm to an illness to show how it makes us lose all personal control over our lives. They contain examples of how a snowstorm slows down human activity and forces people to accept it and work around it. They depict the snowstorm as an extremely powerful force that we cannot help but respect and admire.
Answer:
These lines develop the theme that a life momentarily delayed means a loss of control because:
C. They contain examples of how a snowstorm slows down human activity and forces people to accept it and work around it.
Explanation:
By Ralph Waldo Emerson, these lines of "The Snow-Storm" show how nature can force you to slow down. During a snowstorm, no one can go anywhere. This is nature ordering you to delay your activities, stay home, accept spending time in some other way. A snowstorm gives you a "tumultuous privacy," because even though nature is raging outside, you get to stay inside, sit around the fire, and enjoy the company of your housemates. Eventually, when the storm is gone, you will get to return to normalcy. Having that in mind, we can choose letter C as the best option:
C. They contain examples of how a snowstorm slows down human activity and forces people to accept it and work around it.
Answer:
They contain examples of how a snowstorm slows down human activity and forces people to accept it and work around it.

This World
By Mary Oliver
2004
Mary Oliver (1935-2019) was an American poet who won the National Book Award, as well as the Pulitzer Prize. In this poem, a speaker describes the nature that surrounds them. As you read, take notes on the figurative language the poet uses to describe nature.
[1] I would like to write a poem about the world that has
in it
nothing fancy.
But it seems impossible.
Whatever the subject, the morning sun
[5] glimmers it.
The tulip feels the heat and flaps its petals open and
becomes a star.
The ants bore into the peony1 bud and there is a dark
pinprick well of sweetness.
As for the stones on the beach, forget it.
[10] Each one could be set in gold.
So I tried with my eyes shut, but of course the birds
were singing.
And the aspen trees were shaking the sweetest music
out of their leaves.
[15] And that was followed by, guess what, a momentous2 and
beautiful silence
as comes to all of us, in little earfuls, if we’re not too
hurried to hear it.
As for spiders, how the dew hangs in their webs
[20] even if they say nothing, or seem to say nothing.
So fancy is the world, who knows, maybe they sing.
So fancy is the world, who knows, maybe the stars sing too,
and the ants, and the peonies, and the warm stones,
so happy to be where they are, on the beach, instead of being
[25] locked up in gold.

One dollar and eight-seven cents. That was all. And sixty cents of it was in pennies. Pennies saved one and two at a time by bulldozing the grocer and the vegetable man and the butcher until one’s cheeks burned with the silent imputation of parsimony that such close dealing implied. Three times Della counted it. One dollar and eighty-seven cents. And the next day would be Christmas. There was clearly nothing to do but flop down on the shabby little couch and howl. So Della did it. Which instigates the moral reflection that life is made up of sobs, sniffles, and smiles, with sniffles predominating.
Question: What does O. Henry mean by “with sniffles predominating”?
Answer:
Della is thrifty.
Explanation: (of a person or their behavior) using money and other resources carefully and not wastefully)

Answer:
A word or expression that is new or has a new use
Explanation:
The definition of neologism in the sentence include option C: "A word or expression that is new or has a new use".
What do you mean by neologism?Neologisms are newly created words, which are frequently spoken by children, but that when used by adults may indicate a mental disorder, since they do not make sense.
Neologisms remind us that language is not something set in stone, but an evolving body of work, subject to adjustment, deletions, additions, and change.
As new things are invented, as slang becomes acceptable, and as new technologies emerge, new words must fill in the gaps in language.
Therefore, correct option is C.
