In the context of the passage as a whole, the author’s comparison between the qualities of people and of metals (paragraphs 5-6) primarily serves to
Answer:
E. reinforce the author’s overarching claim about ordinary people’s capacity for success
Explanation:
Answer E
Correct. A base metal is a metal of little monetary value, as opposed to a precious metal like gold. In stating that “from apparently the basest metals we have the finest toned bells,” the author asserts that a material that is considered worthless can nevertheless become the medium for the beautiful sound of a high-quality bell. He notes that people who are not valued by society (“simple manhood,” “dregs of society”) can similarly achieve great things sometimes. He then observes that steel objects and rusty razors can actually improve in quality after being left “neglected and forgotten” in the dirt, reflecting that the most marginalized and maligned of people (“the lowly and despised”) can similarly become agents of “improvement and progress” for the world. The comparison between metals and people thus reinforces the author’s thesis that people who do not seem to possess great talent or many advantages can still achieve extraordinary things (“excellence often comes unheralded and from unexpected quarters”).

E. reinforce the author’s overarching claim about ordinary people’s capacity for success

Based on the following excerpt from O. Henry's "The Gift of the Magi" which statement about Della is most likely true?
One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. And sixty cents of it was in pennies. Pennies saved one and two at a time by bulldozing the
grocer and the vegetable man and the butcher until one's cheeks burned with the silent imputation of parsimony that such close dealing
implied. Three times Della counted it. One dollar and eighty-seven cents. And the next day would be Christmas.
There was clearly nothing to do but flop down on the shabby little couch and howl. So Della did it.
OA Della is upset because her house is in shabby condition for Christmas.
OB. Della is angry at herself for lying to the butcher to save some extra money
OC Della is ashamed because she cheated the local vegetable man out of money.
OD Della is sad because she doesn't have enough money to buy Christmas presents

What do you think is the destiny of the book night?
Answer:
i think that it is a great book
Explanation:
Answer:
At the beginning of Night, Wiesel introduces someone he met toward the end of 1941. His name was Moshe, and he became one of the boy’s teachers. They discussed religious topics, and one day they talked about prayer. Wiesel asked Moshe why he prayed, and his teacher replied that he prayed for strength to ask God the right questions. Later, the Hungarian police deported Moshe from Sighet, Wiesel’s hometown, because he was a foreigner. His destination was Poland and death at the hands of the Germans, but somehow Moshe escaped and found his way back to Sighet. The Jews of Sighet did not believe his tale of destruction.

Although the Holocaust was raging all around them, the Hungarian Jews were not decimated until 1944. Their lives began to change drastically, however, once the Germans occupied Hungary that March. In a matter of days, Sighet’s Jews had to deal with quarantines, expropriations of their property, and the yellow stars that targeted them. Then they were ghettoized and deported. Jammed into train cars, destination unknown, the Jews of Sighet—Elie Wiesel, his little sister, Tzipora, and their parents among them—eventually crossed the Polish frontier and arrived at Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Emerging from their train-car prisons into midnight air fouled by burning flesh, the Jews of Sighet were separated by the secret police: men to the left, women to the right. Wiesel lost sight of his mother and little sister, not fully aware that the parting was forever. Father and son stuck together. Spared the fate of Wiesel’s mother and sister, they were not “selected” for the gas chambers but for slave labor instead. From late May, 1944, until mid-January, 1945, Wiesel and his father endured Auschwitz’s brutal regimen. As the Red Army approached the camp, the two were evacuated to Germany. Severely weakened by the death march to Buchenwald, Wiesel’s father perished there, but the son was liberated on April 11, 1945.
Night covers in detail these events, but it is much more than a chronological narrative. The power of this memoir emerges especially from the anguished questions that Wiesel’s Holocaust experiences will not put to rest. Before he entered Auschwitz, Wiesel “believed profoundly.” Yet on that fateful night, and in the days that followed, his world changed forever. Optimism about humankind, trust in the world, confidence in God—Auschwitz radically threatened, if it did not destroy, so many reasons for hope.
This point is illustrated especially well by one of the book’s most unforgettable moments. Wiesel describes the hanging of three Auschwitz prisoners—one of them a child. As the prisoners watched the child die, Wiesel heard a man asking: “For God’s sake, where is God?” Wiesel writes that “from within me. I heard a voice answer: ’Where He is? This is where—hanging here from this gallows.’”
Death’s reign in the Kingdom of Night was so pervasive that Wiesel ends Night by reporting that a corpse stared back at him when he saw his own reflection in a mirror for the first time after liberation. Yet Night does not give death—God’s or humanity’s—the last word. By breaking silence, by telling a story that is full of reasons for despair, Wiesel protests against the wasting of life...

Meaning of scrapes in this context:
"I love scrapes. They are the only things that are never serious."
Answer:
This open interest in the idea of immorality is what takes Cecily out of the realm of Victorian hypocrisy and makes her a suitable love interest for Algernon. Her notion that if Jack’s brother is not really wicked he has been “deceiving us all in a very inexcusable manner” turns the plot of the play on its head. She goes on to define hypocrisy as “pretending to be wicked and being really good all the time.” It isn’t, of course. It is the opposite of hypocrisy. In fact, it is the creed of the Wildean dandy-hero.

"In 1757 Franklin was sent to England to serve as agent of the Pennsylvania legislature."
Answer:
It was unnatural than Franklin to be sought out for public office.
Explanation:
"In 1757 Franklin was sent to England to serve as agent of the Pennsylvania legislature."Franklin's pursuit of public service was out of the ordinary.
What is the makeup of the Pennsylvania legislature ?The General Assembly is the second-biggest state legislature in the country after New Hampshire, with 253 members, including a 50-member Senate and 203 members in the House of Representatives. It is also the largest full-time legislature. Senators are chosen for four-year terms.
In comparison to more conservative state Republican Parties in other parts of the country, Pennsylvania has historically been a liberal Republican state with a strong state Republican Party that is considerably more focused on social spending.
Direct general spending per person in the nation was $10,540. Public welfare ($3,225) and primary and secondary education ($3,225) accounted for the majority of Pennsylvania's per-capita expenditures.
Thus, "In 1757 Franklin was sent to England to serve as agent of the Pennsylvania legislature."Franklin's pursuit of public service was out of the ordinary.

Use Passage 2 to answer the following question.
Which change of sentence order would create the most logical arrangement in the paragraph?
Put sentence 4 before sentence 3.
Put sentence 8 before sentence 6.
Put sentence 8 after sentence 6.
Put sentence 6 after sentence 7.
Answer:
C) Put sentence 8 after sentence 6.
This would be the best option because sentence 2 introduces the tea and the earl. Sentence 1 refers to the earl when it says, "how the earl". Since the specific earl is not named in this sentence, we know that the earl should be named earlier in the passage. Also, sentence number 1 introduces the idea of various legends. Sentence 3 introduces ones of those legends; therefore, sentence 1 would need to be before sentence 3 as well.

Shedding Light on a Dark Day, by Robin Meriwether
On May 19, 1780, the skies over New England turned dark in the middle of the day. For more than two hundred years, New England's Dark Day had been shrouded in mystery. Some blamed volcanoes. Some suggested supernatural events. Some claimed it was a sign from the heavens. No one knew for certain what happened. Many thought the mystery would never be solved.
Researchers at the University of Missouri were fascinated by the case. They began examining trees in all surrounding areas. Fire damage in a Canadian forest finally revealed the truth. Scientists looked at burned tree rings and discovered that huge wildfires once raged in the mountains near Ontario. The savage flames created blankets of black smoke. The smoke traveled high into the atmosphere, darkening the New England skies hundreds of miles away.
