Which of the following statements is the BEST example of allusion?
Select one:
A) "This new war was Viet Nam all over again" because it compares the new war to a well known war in order to provide the reader with additional context.
B) "This painting depicts Medusa" because it refers to a well known monster from Greek Mythology.
C) “The Thanksgiving parade was a sight for sore eyes" because it references a popular parade.
D) “The newly elected president of the United States became famous overnight" because it mentions a well known country.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A) "This new war was Viet Nam all over again"

Explanation:

Because it compares the new war to a well-known war in order to provide the reader with additional context.

Answer 2

Answer:

A

Explanation:

An allusion is a reference to something without mentioning it. If you were to tell someone, "This new war is Vietnam all over again," like the explanation offers, the reader would have to know that a war happened in Vietnam in order to understand that reference. The writer also didn't outright state that a war happened in Vietnam, fitting in to the criteria of what makes an allusion an allusion.

The rest of the choices aren't subtle enough, D isn't referencing anything really.

Item 3 Read the sentence. Miles became frustrated when his little sister kept talking during the movie. Select the word from the drop down-menu that correctly completes the sentence. The word during functions as a(n) a: adjective. b: conjunction. c: interjection d: preposition

Answers

Answer:

d: Preposition.

Explanation:

A preposition is a word that is used as a linking word for joining nouns, pronouns, or phrases with the other words in a sentence. They also tell the position or time something happens, most often being used just before a noun or an object.

In the given sentence, the word during is used just before "the movie" which is a noun and the object of the sentence. Therefore, the word "during" acts as a preposition in the sentence.

Thus, the correct answer is option d.

Subject-verb agreement The students elected to lead our school beautification committee has several inspiring ideas including a mural in the gym and the relocation of the garbage cans from near the school entrance to behind the cafeteria

Answers

We are supposed to find the error in the sentence concerning subject-verb agreement.

Answer:

The students elected to lead our school beautification committee HAVE several inspiring ideas including a mural in the gym and the relocation of the garbage cans from near the school entrance to behind the cafeteria.

Explanation:  

What we must realize about the verb "to have" in the sentence is that its subject is not "committee". The ones who have inspiring ideas are actually the students. Therefore, the verb should agree with the subject "students", which is plural. The form "has" is singular, and that is why it is incorrectly used. The correct form is:

The students elected to lead our school beautification committee HAVE several inspiring ideas including a mural in the gym and the relocation of the garbage cans from near the school entrance to behind the cafeteria.

Read the excerpt "Primary Lessons" from Silent Dancing: A Partial Remembrance of a Puerto Rican Childhood.

But, of course, what I feared was not language, but loss of freedom. At school there would be no playing, no stories, only lessons. It would not matter if I did not understand a word, and I would not be allowed to make up my own definitions. I would have to learn silence. I would have to keep my wild imagination in check. Feeling locked into my stiffly starched uniform, I only sensed all this. I guess most children can intuit their loss of childhood’s freedom on that first day of school. It is separation anxiety too, but mother is just the guardian of the “playground” of our early childhood.
What does the excerpt illustrate about the narrator's perception of education?

She feels energized by the notion of learning.
She has a dubious attitude toward school.
She feels resolute in her choice to learn.
She is determined to learn at school.

Answer:

In To Kill a Mockingbird, there was a moment when Jem cordially invited Walter Cunningham to his house to eat dinner after Jem's sister, Scout, rudely informs Miss Caroline on Walter's financial status and how he was in severe poverty to exchange money. According to page 25 it quotes, "'There's some folks who don't eat like us,' she whispered fiercely, 'but you ain't called on to contradict 'em at the table when they don't. That boy's yo' comp'ny and if he wants to eat up the table cloth, you let him, you hear?'" After Scout taunts Walter for pouring syrup on his vegetables, Calpurnia becomes furious, stating that there are some children who dwell through different lifestyles that Scout may be aberrant to. According to page 30 it quotes, "'You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view--until you crawl into his skin and walk around it."' Atticus, Scout's father, teaches her a lesson that she shouldn't judge another's motives or actions because they probably have a differing perception on what they prefer liking or doing. Scout shouldn't despise Walter just because he may be poor or may have uncommon interests, because he may see it in a contrasting perspective.
