Refer to Explorations in Literature for a complete version of this story. Reread this example of foreshadowing from “After Twenty Years” by O. Henry. "... But I know Jimmy will meet me here if he's alive, for he always was the truest, stanchest old chap in the world. He'll never forget." Which statement best explains how the author's use of foreshadowing affects the story? It creates suspense by hinting at the fact that Silky Bob already knows that Jimmy will not show up to meet him. It adds to the surprise created later when it's revealed that Jimmy did meet Silky Bob; indeed, Bob is saying these words to Jimmy himself. It adds humor to the story since readers, unlike Silky Bob, already know that he's speaking to Jimmy when he delivers these lines. It creates mystery in the story by subtly suggesting that something awful has happened to Jimmy.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

It adds to the surprise created later when it's revealed that Jimmy did meet Silky Bob; indeed, Bob is saying these words to Jimmy himself.

Explanation:

Foreshadowing is a literary device in which the writer gives hints about what is going to happen later in the story. This is what O. Henry does in his short story After Twenty Years.

The story tells about two close friends, Jimmy Wells and Silky Bob. They grew up together, but later they chose different paths. However, they made a deal - to meet in twenty years at the restaurant where they last saw each other.  Twenty years later, Bob is waiting for Jimmy. A policeman stops by to question him, and Bob tells him his story, expressing no doubt that Jimmy would show up. That's when he says the words you were given as an example of foreshadowing. Soon after, a man who introduces himself as Jimmy Wells arrives, but Bob notices that his nose is not the same as Jimmy's. It turns out that the man is a plainclothes policeman who arrests Bob, a wanted criminal. He gives Bob a letter from Jimmy, and Bob realizes that the policeman he met earlier was in fact the true Jimmy. In the letter, Jimmy explains that, when he arrived at the meeting spot and realized that Bob was the wanted criminal, he didn't have the heart to arrest him and sent a plainclothes officer to do it instead.

Based on the entire story, we can conclude that the given example of foreshadowing adds to the surprise created later when it's revealed that Jimmy did meet Silky Bob; indeed, Bob is saying these words to Jimmy himself.

“where NASA has gone to considerable lengths to justify the space program and explain how space innovations feed into the country’s more terrestrial needs, aeronautics research has had a direct and undeniable impact on commercial and military technology development.”


“The nature of this impact deserves special attention because it locates NASA’s work within larger technical and historical narratives.”


“More fundamentally, they have run thousands and thousands of tests on all manner of aviation-related questions, such as acoustics, aerodynamic drag, icing, vibration, crash survivability, and engine efficiency, just to name a few.”


“Aeronautics’ mission is not about going somewhere specific or building one particular thing; it is about supporting the country’s commercial and military needs with respect to aviation.”

In Act I of The Importance of Being Earnest, how do the cucumber sandwiches address elements of Victorian society?

Answers

Explanation:

The victorian era had the division of people into the noble upper class, middle class and the working class.

Algernon's display of cucumber sandwiches was referred to as reckless extravagance in a young person by Jack. But the irony here is that cucumber sandwiches are not even extravagant or reckless to serve at tea. Another is the fact that the lady that the sandwiches were meant for is not even a young person.

We have the hypocrisy of algernon who scolds jack for trying to take a sandwich but yet does so himself. He even ends up eating it all before lady Bracknell arrives. Then he has his servant lie that there were no cucumbers at the market.

The lady's reaction is that of indifference about the sandwiches. A great part of this play explores the consequences of the reckless formalities of society. Jack considered as rash behavior, the formal extravagance of the upper class.

Read the excerpt from A Black Hole Is NOT a Hole by Carolyn Cinami DeCristofano.

Einstein's idea of gravity had big consequences. It helped explain some observations that Newton's idea didn't account for. It also opened our minds to amazing new possibilities. For example, taking his cue from Einstein's idea that space bends, scientist Karl Schwarzschild began to think about what would happen if a place in space were extremely distorted. His answer: light would follow the hyper-bent space, never to turn away from it. This was the first prediction of a black hole. At first, some scientists (including Einstein!) rejected Schwarzschild's ideas. Others were intrigued and began searching the skies for real black holes. Just decades later, they found the first of them. It just goes to show: sometimes, as Einstein himself once said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge."

Which sentence is the best summary of the excerpt?

Einstein opened our minds to amazing new possibilities and showed us that imagination is more important than knowledge.
Scientists searched the skies for decades before they found the first real black holes.
Karl Schwarzschild used his imagination when he thought about light and extremely distorted parts of space.
Einstein’s idea that space bends inspired scientists to predict and later discover black holes.

Preclude is often used in legal writing, where it usually refers to making something legally impossible. A new law may be passed by Congress to preclude any suits of a certain kind against a federal agency, for example. Some judges have found that the warnings on cigarette packs preclude any suits against the tobacco companies by lung-cancer sufferers. But there are plenty of nonlegal uses as well.

C. The information is available to a larger audience than is

information communicated in other forms of media.

Explanation:

Mass media refers to a diverse array of media technologies that reach a large audience via mass communication. Therefore, we know C is correct. Furthermore, although there are more streams to know the news happened around the world, it becomes a problem that citizens lose the ability to recognize if they are true or wrong because too many different media companies have their own claims and biases about those news topics. So, we can eliminate A and B which leaves us with C.

Maybe that’s what I should have been born – an Italian girl. —Brighton Beach Memoirs, Neil Simon What is Eugene’s perspective about boys and girls in this scene? Girls are weaker than boys. Girls get sick more easily. Boys don’t need any care. Boys have it rougher than girls.

Answers

Answer:

Boys have it rougher than girls.

Explanation:

The semi-autobiographical play "Brighton Beach Memoirs" by Neil Simon is a story about the coming of age of a young boy Eugene Morris Jerome. The book is also referred to as the first of the "Eugene Trilogy" that follows Eugene and his growing up years, navigating life through the many obstacles.

In the given passage/ excerpt, we see Eugene complaining about how different life is for boys and girls. Laurie has a heart flutter, which makes her incapable of doing work and being treated with special care. On the other hand, Eugene complains that he was made to work, "carry[ing] a block of ice home every afternoon" even after he was "hit with a baseball right in the back of the skull". This, according to him, shows how boys are treated rougher and made to work more than the girls.

Thus, the correct answer is the fourth/ last option.

(1) Every wage earner covered under the Social Security Act pays a tax; the employer also pays a tax, which is equal to that paid by the employee. (2) The amount that one can expect to receive each month in old-age insurance benefits depends on one's average monthly earnings. (3) Also, the size of the benefits depends on the number of years one has worked. (4) If a person retires at 65, the monthly benefits are greater than if he or she retires at 62. (5) These benefits are a retirement annuity. (6) In other words, they are paid to the wage earner from the date of retirement to the time he or she dies. (7) In addition, when a wage earner dies, Social Security provides payments to his or her spouse, to dependent parents, and to children until they are about 18 years of age (21 if they are in school). (8) Further, payments are made to a wage earner (and dependents) if he or she is totally disabled and unable to work.

b. that the Mongol defeats of the Abbasid caliphate removed a major threat to European control of the eastern Mediterranean.

c. that the Mongol conquest of Russia brought Eastern Europe into closer contact with Western Europe.

d. that by destroying Persia, the Mongols extended the life of the Byzantine empire.

Answers

Answer:

A) the commercial links it established between Europe and the Far East along the Silk Road.

Explanation:

The Mongol expansion helped to reestablish the silk route, which made it easier for a Venetian explorer named Marco Polo to have access to the silk route and be the first European to cross that path and open this market between China and Europe. This allowed many trade agreements to be established and many products between the two continents to be sold. In this way we can see that the Mongol invasions on the Asian continent between 1215 and 1360 strengthened the commercial links that it established between Europe and the Far East along the Silk Road.
