Answer:
no because a simile uses like or as a metaphor doesn't use like or as
Explanation:
Read the passage.
[Dee (Wangero) is still admiring the quilts, but the narrator explains that she has promised them to Maggie as a wedding present.]
She gasped like a bee had stung her.
“Maggie can’t appreciate these quilts!” she said. “She’d probably be backward enough to put them to everyday use.” . . .
[The narrator exclaims that she hopes Maggie will use the quilts. No one has used them all this time that she has saved them. She also remembers that Dee (Wangero) had once told her that the quilts were old-fashioned and that she didn’t want to take one to college with her.]
“But they’re priceless!” she was saying now, furiously; for she has a temper. “Maggie would put them on the bed and in five years they’d be in rags. Less than that!” . . .
In “Everyday Use” by Alice Walker, what does Dee’s dialogue reveal about her feelings toward her sister?
She sees Maggie as a source of competition.
She believes Maggie is simple and ignorant.
She is jealous that Maggie has the quilts.
She thinks Maggie does not deserve marriage.
Answer:
She believes Maggie is simple and ignorant.
Explanation:
Everyday Use is a short story written by Alice Walker. It's written from the point of view of an African-American mother (Mrs. Johnson), who lives in the Deep South with her shy younger daughter, Maggie. It tells about differences between Mrs. Johnson and Maggie, who follow the traditional black culture in the rural South, and her educated daughter Dee, who has embraced cultural nationalism.
Dee chose a new, African name, Wangero, and has begun wearing more African clothing. She wants to take hand-made objects, such as the quilts mentioned in the given excerpt, that were used in their family for generations. Unlike Maggie, who would use them practically, she would simply display them as artifacts, as pieces of art. She thinks that Maggie is backward for wanting to use them. It's not that she is jealous that Maggie will get the quilts, but she sees her as inferior, backward, simple, and ignorant. She sees herself as superior to both her and their mother.
This is why the second option is the correct one.

Explanation:
I need to construct a brief explanation of the monopoly and its impact on the market the response has to be at least 300 words
Answer:
Monopoly is the market situation where the supply of a certain good or service is controlled in its entirety (or in a very wide margin) by a single supplier. Thus, that sole supplier is the one who controls the market for said good or service, either because it is the only one who sells them, or because it sells them in such quantities that there is no real competition.
In monopolies, the supplier has a very broad power in determining the conditions of commercialization of the product, because in the absence of competition, it handles the variables of price, quality and quantity supplied of the product at will. For this reason, although it may have smaller competitors, these will never be able to match the monopolist in terms of their market presence.
Monopolies, as they imply lack of competition, are detrimental to consumers, because they do not allow them to select the best alternative among several different alternatives, which limits their choice and affects their consumption.

1. Share a time when you wrote or said something that was interpreted, or perceived, incorrectly by the recipient of your message. What do you feel might have caused your message to be interpreted incorrectly? Explain. 2. As you move forward in school and work, what strategies provided in the textbook (Chapter 11) might you leverage to ensure your communications are clear and accurately interpreted? Explain. 3. Finally, how important will communication be in your specific career path and in achieving your academic mission statement?
Answer and Explanation:
Hello. You did not enter the book to which the question refers, which may leave the second answer a little inaccurate.
1. One day, I needed to seek technical assistance from a computer that I was unable to run software on. When I arrived at the assistance website and explained in the chat what was going on, I said "I think there is a problem here". With the word "here" I was referring to my computer, but the assistant got it wrong, thinking I was referring to the site. I believe that my message was interpreted incorrectly due to the choice of words I made, I should have said "I think there is a problem with my computer," because the words I used left the sentence inaccurate and prone to misinterpretation .
2. In order for messages to always be interpreted clearly and precisely, it is necessary to use words that clearly expose the desired message in a specific and very clear way. It is important to quote all the necessary terms and to think carefully before speaking, allowing the choice of correct words.
3. Communication is important to allow the exchange of information between people, thus allowing technical and academic knowledge to be exposed and absorbed, creating efficient and professional citizens in the most diverse areas, who will also find it easier to transmit information with other individuals.

Your goal is to try to figure out what the main idea or theme could possibly be of "The Red Studio". There is not necessarily a right answer for this! What you have to do is write out 1-2 sentences that explain what you think the theme is, and then at least 5 words or phrases that lead you towards that idea. One potential theme will be revealed in the review, just for those of you who can’t stand to not have an “answer” but remember that the main idea or theme is really up to the reader of the poem. Each person who reads this poem will be bringing their own prior knowledge to the reading, so the theme or main idea will change for each person. It may even change each time you read it! The goal here is to think about what you think the poem might be trying to get across and that you are able to support that idea. Write out your 1-2 sentences explaining your theme and include at least 5 words or phrases that you feel support your conclusion.
Answer:
L'Atelier Rouge which is also known as "The Red Studio" features a contemplative, yet small view of Matisse's recent painting, sculpture, and ceramics, displayed in his studio. The works of art appear in color and in detail, while the room's architecture and furnishings are indicated only by negative gaps in the red surface leading to a theme that can be interpreted as intricate whilst being modest and subtle.
Extra Notes: Seeing artwork displayed at random is to me the most appealing part of said work, the simplicity and carelessness add the feeling that the work is genuine and personal. I feel as if I myself had been there during the passionate, yet delicate original creation of The Red Studio.
Hope this helps! :D

Speech Passage #1Instructions: Please read the passage below and answer the questions in full sentences.Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, teachers, parents, and my fellow students. Our today’s meeting is an outstanding event for all of us as another academic year has come to an end. This means that another group of students graduates from our school and is to start its way into the ‘adult life’. Actually, this ‘adult life’ seems to be less appealing and more terrifying with its close oncoming, and it is a great fortune that it is not my turn to enter it yet.
I have one more year of study left, so this occasion does not have a direct relation to me, still there are a few important things I am eager to tell our graduates, among which is my older sister. The first one is: please, do not be afraid of the changes that come to your life; they are crucial, unpredictable, and overwhelming but you are able to deal with them. Thus, just built your own way and remember that your families and friends are always there to provide you with any needed support. In addition, please, keep in mind the fact that we are graduating after you and look up for you as the examples and inspirations, so, do not be up to anything you would not like us to do. I believe that would be the most suitable advice and recommendation you can hear from someone my age.
Another point that I would like to highlight is the crucial value of your dreams as, like the great Steve Jobs pointed out, the way to success is to “dream bigger”, and this tool is available for everyone. There has barely been one person in the world that had never failed, so, you, most probably, will not become such an exception. Thus, do not limit yourself by the fear of losing; you will lose one day anyway, and this occasion is unpredictable and unpreventable. It may sound absolutely discouraging but have a think about it: if there is nothing to hold you back, everything is possible.
With this in mind, make a bold, confident, and reckless step in the life, hurry to fall, because the sooner you will do this, the more time you will have for getting back to the top. Do not let the obstacles and failures stop you as they are just other twists of a great life adventure you are to embark on, and we are looking forward to witness.

Read the excerpt from The Diary of a Young Girl. I don't fit in with them, and I've felt that clearly in the last few weeks. They're so sentimental together, but I'd rather be sentimental on my own. They're always saying how nice it is with the four of us, and that we get along so well, without giving a moment's thought to the fact that I don't feel that way. What is Anne’s perspective toward her family in this excerpt? She feels fearful. She feels confused She feels misunderstood. She feels underestimated.
Answer:
She feels misunderstood
Explanation:
Please see attached document for explanation.
Answer:
She feels misunderstood.
Explanation:
"They're always saying how nice it is with the four of us, and that we get along so well, without giving a moment's thought to the fact that I don't feel that way."
The bolded lines show that they don't understand that she feels different. She doesn't feel confused because we know that she knows how they feel and what they think. She isn't afraid, there is no signs of her being scared in this sentence. She isn't underestimated because they say she's good to have around. They never say she doesn't have as much skill or whatever than them. They think highly of her, they just don't understand how she's feeling.

Explanation:
Read the following excerpt from an essay by Stephen Leacock. What is the main idea?
A friend of mine who has ten thousand dollars a year told me the other day with a sigh that he found it quite impossible to keep up with the rich. On his income he couldn't do it. A family that I know who have twenty thousand a year have told me the same thing. They can't keep up with the rich. There is no use in trying. A man that I respect very much who has an income of fifty thousand dollars a year from his law practice has told me with the greatest frankness that he finds it absolutely impossible to keep up with the rich. He says it is better to face the brutal fact of being poor. He says he can only give me a plain meal, what he calls a home dinner—it takes three men and two women to serve it—and he begs me to put up with it.
As far as I remember, I have never met Mr. Carnegie. But I know that if I did he would tell me that he found it quite impossible to keep up with Mr. Rockefeller. No doubt Mr. Rockefeller has the same feeling.
On the other hand there are, and there must be, rich people somewhere. I run across traces of them all the time. The janitor in the building where I work has told me that he has a rich cousin in England who is in the South-Western Railway and gets ten pounds a week. He says the railway wouldn't know what to do without him. In the same way the lady who washes at my house has a rich uncle. He lives in Winnipeg and owns his own house, clear, and has two girls at the high school.
A.
Money means nothing to the rich.
B.
Most rich people are very modest.
C.
Most rich people live abroad.
D.
The rich are never satisfied with their wealth.
E.
The writer hasn’t met any really rich people.
