was brutus a patriot or a betrayer
Answer:
He was a patriot
Explanation:
The play Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare has caused much debate as to whether or not the character Brutus was justified in his actions, the most notable of which includes killing Julius Caesar, the emperor of Rome. The distinctions between the two different classifications of Brutus include that of a patriot or a betrayer to his country. Brutus was a patriot due to his unwavering loyalty to Rome and his determination to act on what he defined as what was best for Rome, as seen when he is described as the "noblest Roman of them all (Shakespeare)." Some may say that Brutus was a betrayer as he killed the leader of Rome, Julius Caesar. However, he was doing what all the other members thought was best.
Answer:
he is a patriot

Vote No on the Highway 85 Extension
by Victoria Vail, Tribune staff writer
Next week, the city council will consider a proposal to extend highway 85 by ten miles. A small coalition of real estate developers have hurried this proposal forward, hoping to capitalize on state tax breaks and reassuring the city that their intentions are good. In truth, however, the proposed extension would hurt our community. It would be bad for downtown businesses, bad for families, and bad for the environment.
Bad for Downtown Businesses
Developers claim that the land west of town is ripe to be turned into a combined retail/residential area. They say that the extension of highway 85 would give shoppers access to a greater variety of stores. In truth, though, we already have a great variety of stores downtown—over 200 of them. Many of these businesses have been hurting for several years due to the neglect of the exit 10 overpass, which has made driving difficult. Extending highway 85 would give shoppers a reason to avoid downtown altogether—likely dooming many small businesses and leaving buildings vacant. However, the overpass could be repaired at a fraction of the cost of the highway extension. This small investment in city infrastructure would be good for businesses and shoppers alike.
In one to two sentences, identify the author's point of view and the author's purpose.
Answer:
The author is against the extension of Highway 85, and her goal is to persuade the readers to vote against it.
Explanation:
An author's point of view is their opinion or belief regarding an issue. Victoria Vail, the author of the given paragraphs, is against the extension of Highway 85.
An author's purpose is the reason they are writing a text. Their purpose may be to amuse, persuade, or inform the reader, or to satirize a condition. Victoria Vail's goal is to persuade her reads to vote against the extension of Highway 85. She explains to them why this project would be harmful to their community and wants them to think about it and vote against it.
The correct response is - The author wants the audience to reject the Highway 85 expansion because she is opposed to it.
What is a Highway?Any nonpublic street or another public path on land is referred to as a highway. It encompasses various public roads and public tracks in addition to being utilized for main routes. It is used as a synonym for controlled-access highway or as a translation for autobahn, autoroute, etc. in various parts of the United States.
"M" roads, sometimes known as motorways in some states, are major thoroughfares. These are primarily freeway-standard, dual-carriageway highways, however, they may also be used for rural roads that are at least dual-carriageway.
The term "highway" derives from elevated Roman highways that featured a mound or hill in the middle created by earth thrown from side ditches.

Part AWhich statement best analyzes how the author's portrayal of Mr. Nilson's conflicting motivations advances the plot and theme of The Japanese Quince"?

2) Mr. Nilson's confusion about what type of tree is outside his window emphasizes the importance of understanding the natural world.
3) Mr. Nilson's doubts about whether to eat or to visit the garden illustrate the difficulty of balancing physical and emotional needs.
4) Mr. Nilson's uneasiness about watching his neighbor retum home demonstrates the struggle between curiosity and respect for privacy.
Answer:
1) Mr. Nilson's anxiety about interacting neighbor highlights the consequences of isolating oneself from experience.
Explanation:
In "The Japanese Quince" we are introduced to Mr. Nilson, who is a businessman accustomed to presenting a practical and haughty image that the profession requires. However, one day when admiring a tree in his garden, he shows a certain vulnerability, as it shows that he was touched by nature. At that moment, he leaves the house to enjoy the tree more closely and meets the neighbor he never met, but who looks a lot like him. When he looks at his neighbor, it is as if he is looking at himself through the mirror. He does not want to face and experience his own vulnerability and therefore decides to return home, where he can be free from the image of the neighbor, who represents what he is.

Answer:
Grendel is characterized as someone lonely and not tolerant.
Explanation:
The above excerpt shows how Grendel missed company and was a lonely creature. For this reason, he watched the human race, looking at those who were exiled for being the outcasts of society, that is, people who were no longer welcome and were expelled from the social cycle. However Grendel wishes to make friends with them to have a company, however the human being was treacherous and always betrayed Grendel, which made him try to ignore them, but they remained treacherous. In this case, he did not tolerate human beings and ended up eating them to protect himself.
After reading and analyzing the characterization in the excerpt, we can say that Grendel is characterized as the following:
D. Practical
What is characterization?Characterization takes place when the author reveals a character's personality traits or even physical appearance to readers. Characterization can be direct (through adjectives) or indirect (through characters' words, thoughts, and behaviors).
In the excerpt, the monster Grendel is indirectly characterized as practical. He does what he has to do. He does not eat the exiled men out of sheer evil, but simply because it was the best thing for him to do. He could not trust those men - they would most likely hurt him.
The missing answer choices for this question are:
A. jealous

1)Didion refers to the migraines of her early years as a "shameful secret." "Migraine headaches," she writes, "were, as everyone who did not have them knew, imaginary." Why would she be ashamed of migraines? (ACES form).

Migraine has physiological and chemical origins but manifests in reaction to psychological stimuli and quirks of personality. How does this make it different from cancer, the flu?)
3)What is the silver lining, benefit of a migraine?
Answer:
1) Because most people don´t understand them, they are usually underestimated and those who suffer from them are stigmatized as too sensitive or not trying enough to make them go away.
Explanation:
2) According to her doctor, in addition to an inherited predisposition, there is such a thing as a "migraine personality," meaning personal characteristics that further predisposition some people to suffer migraines. In that sense, the author feels as it´s partially her fault because her personality becomes an element that she could supposedly change to lessen her migraines. This would not be possible with "real" diseases such as cancer, or the flu.
3) The moments of distress help her to "count my blessings" when the pain goes away. She finds it useful, like a forced meditation through the pain that leaves her relaxed afterward.
