How does the shift in the physical description of the landlady throughout the passage impact he storys meaning?
Answer:
Throughout the passage, the shift in the physical description of the landlady does impact the story's meaning. At first, when you hear what the landlady looks like, you'll think that she's not at all "wrong in the head", but as you progress through the story, the landlady morphs into a detrimental woman. When Billy sees the landlady at the start, he thinks that she " looked exactly like the mother of one’s best school-friend welcoming one into the house to stay for the Christmas holidays (29)". He basically thinks that she's just a kind woman who won't do him any harm. Later, "he caught a whiff of a peculiar smell that seemed to emanate26 directly from her person. It was not in the least unpleasant, and it reminded him — well, he wasn’t quite sure what it reminded him of. Pickled walnuts? New leather? Or was it the corridors of a hospital? (78)". He thought that she was "dotty", but he didn't care, nor does he really pay any close attention to how she acted or looked. All he thought was since she invited him to a place to stay for a good amount of money, she was welcoming and inviting, therefore, he assumed that she was innocent and not at all "wrong in the head". In the beginning, we all thought that this was going to be an innocent story where Billy enters a house and a landlady allows him to stay there. The landlady would mind her own business and be polite and Billy would be safe and just be there for a tiny bit, all happy and everything would be just fine. But no. As the story reveals more, it gets more twisted and dark. The landlady turns out to be purposefully poisoning Billy with tea and probably stuffing him later. All things will turn for a deadly end

How did the formation of IS293 perpetuate segregation?
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.
The formation of IS 293 perpetuated segregation in that practically no white parents sent their kids to newly integrated schools to study with African Americans, Hispanic, or other minority students.
Created at the beginning of the 1960s, IS 293 initiated in the times of the American Civil Rights movement led by famous social activists like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
The idea of integration was good. However, white people had concerns about the kind of relationships their sons could develop if they took classes with "different" students and the intermingling of cultures, traditions, beliefs, and customs.

why is merchant of venice seen as being controversial
Answer: The Merchant of Venice in Shakespeare’s most controversial play, giving us as it does a portrait of a bloodthirsty moneylender, Shylock, whose consuming lust for barbaric revenge on the merchant Antonio, indeed, whose very essence, springs from the fact that he is Jewish – Jewish and thus a despised outsider in the Christian republic in which he lives.
Explanation: The controversy is simple: is or is not the play anti-Semitic? Certainly it is not a comfortable work to encounter if you are Jewish yourself, and Jewish critics such as Anthony Julius and Harold Bloom have roundly asserted that its anti-Semitism is beyond doubt.

Explanation:
Read the excerpt from sir Gawain and the green knight
"When they had washed well, they went to sit at the table,
The most famous knights nearest the top, as was proper,
And Guenever, in high spirits, was seated in the middle of them,
In the arrangement of the famous table, with them arrayed around her,
Fine silk, furthermore, in a canopy over her,
Of Toulouse red, and many tharsain tapestries
Embroidered and set with the finest of jewels
That would have cost a great deal if someone had tried"
Based on the excerpt, what conclusion can readers draw about Guenever?
Answer:
She is held in high esteem.
Explanation:
The phrase to hold (someone) in high esteem means to admire or respect someone very much. It's the same phrase as to hold (someone) in high regard.
Based on the given excerpt, we can conclude that Guenever, King Arthur's wife, is held in high esteem. She sits among Arthur's best knights, and they respect her. She feels comfortable around them (she is described as in high spirits). She is dressed in the finest silk and has ornaments made of jewels. It's obvious that she is treated well by everyone surrounding her.
The rest of the options are incorrect as there is nothing leading us to make such conclusions. This is why the fourth option is the correct one.
