Explanation:

A preposition can be defined as a word that shows or illustrates the relationship between a pronoun or noun and other words in a sentence. Some examples of a preposition used in various literary works in English language are up, below, after, by, against, for, over, at, to, etc.

Hence, filling the missing words into the sentences we have;

2. He is struggling to concentrate on his to-do list.

3. Are you interested in learning to dance.

4. They think that I am afraid of the dark.

In conclusion, the main purpose of a preposition in English language is to introduce an object by using (of, upon), indicate a timeframe by using (from, by, over), show direction by using (to, across, along), location or place by using (at, up, after, below) and to illustrate the spatial or sequential relationship between two or more things, people, place, etc.

Read this excerpt from "The World on Turtle's Back."

The right-handed twin lives in the Sky-World and he is content with the world he helped to create. The left-handed twin lives in the world below. He, too, is content with the world of men. He delights in the sounds of warfare and suffering. These two beings rule the world and look after the affairs of men. During the day people have rituals to honor the right-handed twin. At night they dance and sing for the left-handed twin.

According to this excerpt, the two brothers represent
gods and men.
life and afterlife.
good and evil.
sky and earth.

Answers

I think it’s Good and Evil. The right handed twin living in the Sky-World would seem to be a god. Having created the world below. The left handed twin being on earth he delights in the warfare and suffering. The text says, “these two beings rule the world and look after the affairs of men” I think that would mean that the right handed twin having created the world below and the left handed twin being man ruling the world. As men being the human race. The people have rituals meaning praises to god in the sky world in the day but at night they they dance and sing. I think that the left handed man is represented as evil. When you think of night you could think of it as dark, scary and evil. During the day you could think of it as happy and cheerful. I think the two brothers represent good and evil. This being the moral or the excerpt.

The conflict between the twins continued, and for some reason, the grandmother favored the left-handed twin. The right-handed twin became angry and resentful. He was the truthful twin who always did the right thing. The left-handed twin was deceitful and did everything backward. You could never trust him.

The twins represented the two ways of the world which are in all people. The Indians did not call these good and evil. They called them the straight mind and the crooked mind, the righteous man and the devious man, the right and the left.

From deep within the shadows, strong hands seized Zafarin, dragging him roughly into the alleyway. A muscular arm wound itself around his waist while a firm hand locked over his mouth.

"Calm down, Zaf!" a voice hissed in his ear. "It's me."

Instantly, Zafarin relaxed and was released."What are you doing, Dane?"

"Aren't you happy to see your brother?"

"Not when he frightens me to death," Zafarin huffed.

"Shush!" Dane glanced over his shoulder."Come with me. I'll explain later."

Intrigued, Zafarin followed his brother through the maze of murky cobblestone laneways that ran through the city. Dane stopped outside a tumbledown house. He glanced around to make sure they were alone, then ushered Zafarin inside.

Greek Mythology has left us an invaluable heritage of tales with envious gods, courageous heroes, epic adventures and stories of vengeance and love. The corpus of Greek Mythology is immerse and we would need several volumes of books to cover most of the stories. However, as it is natural, some of those stories are more beloved than others. Here is an abridgment of 30 of the most famous tales from Greek Mythology.

You can write about:

Theogony: Clash of the Titans
According to Hesiod’s Theogony, in the beginning, there was only Chaos. Dense darkness covered everything until the Earth was born out of Chaos and the mountains, the sea, and then the sky (Uranus) with the sun, the moon and the stars. Then Uranus and Earth came together and gave birth to the Titans. But, Uranus was afraid that one of his children would take his throne. That is why he enclosed every one of them in the depths of the Earth. But his son, Cronus, the strongest of the Titans, defeated him and became world leader. He married Rhea, who gave birth to two gods and three goddesses: Hades, Poseidon, Hera, Hestia and Demeter.
in greek mythology the moirae are the three goddesses of fate. clotho, lachesis, and atropos. The three sisters weave the fate of humans and gods alike. neither human nor god has the power to influence or question their judgment and actions ! clotho, the youngest one, spins the thread of life; she is the very origin, the creation of life itself and her tread is spun upon the birth of a person! lachesis, the second sister, is the one that allocates the fate of people during life. it is said that lachesis measures the thread of life with her rod determining it’s length and nature. The last sister of fate is atropos, the unturning. Atropos is the cutter of the thread of life and with her shears she determines how someone will die.

The tone has changed from the beginning of the essay. What is the overwhelming feeling now? What does Rutledge do to make you feel this way?

Answers

Hello. Unfortunately, you did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try to help you as best I can.

In a generalized way, we can say that the tone of a text refers to the feeling that the author wants to convey to the reader while reading the text. In this case, the author uses specific words that signal a very strong feeling, which must be felt so that the reader understands the text in a complete and sensorial way.

To answer this question, you must read the entire essay and identify which tones the author presents and which tone is established at the end of the essay. As we know, at the end of the essay the author uses the tone to demonstrate an overwhelming feeling, this feeling is so strong because of the use of words that refer to it, you must identify these words so that the question is answered.

Read these central ideas from "Homer: The Poet for All Ages." Some people question whether Homer really existed. People have different ideas about who Homer was.

Answers

Hi. Your question is incomplete and this makes it difficult for me to answer it. However, when searching for your question on the internet, I was able to find another question just like yours. This question asked you to show which two central ideas of "Homer. The Poet for All Ages" support popular belief about Homer. If that's the case for you, I hope the answer below will help you.

The central ideas that show popular beliefs about Homer, presented in the text, can be seen in the two excerpts below:

"One legend says that long ago in Greece, a blind poet, Homer, wandered from city to city and earned his living by reciting poems."  "Some people believe that such a poet really lived, and that he composed the Iliad and the Odyssey himself and recited them in the cities where he stayed."

"Homer. The Poet for All Ages" introduces the poet Homer and his incredible ability to compose stories and poems in a millennium epoch. Homer is highly recognized and admired even today, but his life is a mystery, many people believe he didn't even exist, but many people believe not only that he was real, but that he was the author of "Iliad " and "Odyssey." This belief is strengthened through the legend that there was a Greek poet, who although blind, had a great ability to compose stories and made a living telling these stories and reciting poems.

I think it’s A because exposition is the beginning or some book start with setting

The correct solution exists Option A "Hansel and Gretel lived on the edge of a dark and foreboding forest".

Who is Hansel and Gretel?

"Hansel and Gretel" stands for a German fairy tale composed by the German Brothers Grimm and published in 1812 in Grimm's Fairy Tales. It stands also understood as Hansel and Gretel, or Little Step Brother and Little Step Sister.

In the plot or series of events in a story, there are various stages including the exposition or start, the rising action, the climax, the falling action, and the resolution. In the case of the exposition, this exists at the beginning of the story and contains background information about the consistencies and information of the setting, but not the conflict this appears after the exposition. According to this, the sentence in the passage that describes the exposition is "Hansel and Gretel lived on the edge of a dark and foreboding forest" because this demonstrates both the characters and the setting right before the major conflict emerges.

Hence, The correct solution exists Option A "Hansel and Gretel lived on the edge of a dark and foreboding forest".

Where in a thesaurus will you find a synonym for the word "coax"? A after "coat" B before "coast" C before "blue" D after "coin" .

Answers

Answer: A. after "coat"

Explanation:

A thesaurus lists words in alphabetical order which is why the word "coax" would come after the word, "coat" because the last letter "x" in coax comes after the last letter "t" in coat.

B is incorrect because the "x" in coax comes after the "s" in coast so coax would come after coast not before. C is incorrect because blue begins with b and will definitely come after coax which starts with c.

Finally D is incorrect as well because the "a" in coax comes before the "i" in coin in the alphabet so coax will come before coin not after.

A. The company has a clear lunch policy.

E. There are special considerations for employees who require additional time at lunch.

Explanation:

Skimming is the process of reading a text rapidly to gain an overview of the text. To do so, read the title, the table of contents, and the headings for an overview of ideas. Glancing at any pictures, diagrams or charts, reading the entire introduction and the topic sentences of each paragraph also helps.

The first title has "Lunch Policy" in it, so that's why A is right. The second page has a title called "Considerations", so E is right. The other answers are wrong because those are information you'd find if you read the whole pages, not skimming them.

Read the passage from "The Caged Bird." The caged bird sings with fearful trill of things unknown but longed for still and his tune is heard on the distant hill for the caged bird sings of freedom. What concept from the poem does author Maya Angelou also address in "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings"?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

"The Caged Bird" was created by Maya Angelou. It was printed for the public in the year 1983. It is a heart-twisting representation that depicts the typical oppression of the people who belonged to the African culture.

Moreover, through this rhetorical statement, mentioned in the query, the poet portrays the tone of "desire and entrapment.

Because Longing for something means desires and the bird is singing about the things it dreams about and wishes for but because she is trapped it can’t be filled. Angelou contrasts fear with discrimination.

Angelou contrasts being caged with being poor.

Angelou equates using one’s voice with freedom.

Angelou equates facing the unknown with happiness.

But on Kwajalein, the guards sought to deprive them of something that had sustained them even as all else had been lost: dignity. This self-respect and sense of self-worth, the innermost armament of the soul, lies at the heart of humanness.”

Explanation:

This quotation is found in Chapter 18, the first chapter of Part Four. Louie and Phil are being held in cells on Kwajalein, a few days after they had been captured at sea. Their minds and bodies have survived a record 47 days lost at sea, but their suffering is not over. In fact, it has entered a new chapter.  In this new part of the book, their physical difficulties have been compounded. Now Japanese guards begin to abuse them, initiating an intentional process of trying to break Louie and Phil.
