Read the two passages and answer the question. Passage 1: "Midas" retold by Thomas Bulfinch [1] Bacchus, on a certain occasion, found his old schoolmaster and foster-father, Silenus, missing. The old man had been drinking, and in that state wandered away, and was found by some peasants, who carried him to their king, Midas. Midas recognized him, and treated him hospitably, entertaining him for ten days and nights with an unceasing round of jollity. [2] On the eleventh day he brought Silenus back, and restored him in safety to his pupil. Whereupon Bacchus offered Midas his choice of a reward, whatever he might wish. He asked that whatever he might touch should be changed into gold. Bacchus consented, though sorry that he had not made a better choice. [3] Midas went his way, rejoicing in his new-acquired power, which he hastened to put to the test. He could scarce believe his eyes when he found a twig of an oak, which he plucked from the branch, become gold in his hand. He took up a stone; it changed to gold. He touched a sod; it did the same. He took up an apple from the tree; you would have thought he had robbed the garden of the Hesperides. His joy knew no bounds, and as soon as he got home, he ordered the servants to set a splendid repast on the table. Then he found to his dismay that whether he touched bread, it hardened in his hand; or put a morsel to his lip, it defied his teeth. He took a glass of wine, but it flowed down his throat like melted gold. [4] In consternation at the unprecedented affliction, he strove to divest himself of his power; he hated the gift he had lately coveted. But all in vain; starvation seemed to await him. He raised his arms, all shining with gold, in prayer to Bacchus, begging to be delivered from his glittering destruction. Bacchus, merciful deity, heard and consented. "Go," said he, "to River Pactolus, trace its fountain-head, there plunge yourself and body in, and wash away your fault and its punishment." He did so, and scarce had he touched the waters before the gold-creating power passed into them, and the river sands became changed into gold, as they remain to this day. Passage 2: "Bacchus's Regret" by Hunter Doyle [1] King Midas returned my beloved teacher to me, so I rewarded him with a wish—whatever he wanted would be. Midas cried, "Give my fingers a golden touch! Then, I shall have a gilded kingdom and such." [5] I tried to make him see the err of his choice, but he would not heed the caution in my voice. I pleaded with Midas, "Be careful what you choose, for you're only thinking of what you'll gain—not what you'll lose." [9] His thirst for wealth became no match for his appetite; after all, a gold apple is not something one can bite. His daughter wept for her poor starving dad, so he wiped her tears and told her not to be sad. [13] Into a golden statue Midas's daughter became, and he and his greedy wish were ultimately to blame. Yet, maybe if I had put up more of a fight and a fret, then I wouldn't have to live with all this regret. How does the poem show the theme greed can have negative consequences differently than the myth? By allowing Bacchus to refuse Midas's wish By changing what Midas wishes for By resolving Midas's conflict sooner By showing what happens to Midas's daughter

Which statement best defines an inference?

KODB.
a conclusion based on evidence and outside knowledge
O C.
a guess that relies only on the reader's prior experiences
KD D.
the background information about a literary work​

Answers

Answer:

B). A conclusion based on evidence and outside knowledge.

Explanation:

'Inference' is characterized as 'a deduction or conclusion that is drawn on the basis of sufficient evidence provided by the author and readers' own reasoning. When the reader reads a specific text, he/she observes the background, language, and evidence that the author employs to convey his message and pairs it with their logical reasoning. This allows him/her to reach a specific conclusion regarding the text and that is what we define as 'inference.'

For example, if there is the use of descriptive language, the readers can infer that the author is attempting to convince the audience emotionally. Thus, option B is the correct answer.

What feelings and emotions are expressed in the descriptions of Equiano’s village? In your opinion, what can readers learn from reading these excerpts of the memoir? Use details from the excerpts to support your answer.

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The feelings and emotions that are expressed in the descriptions of Equiano’s village are of nostalgia for his birthplace.

In my opinion, what readers can learn from reading these excerpts of the memoir is the fond memories Equiano had for his village, his people, traditions, culture, and customs.

He describes the landmark. A place full of vegetation, where people grew fruits and vegetables. He refers to the clothes the people used. Nothing fancy. Those were simple and comfortable clothes. He remembers that his people traded different artifacts with white people. He mentions some traditions such as marriage and the way the elders punished people who committed any crime.

You can read more about Olaudah Equiano in his autobiography and refers to his life as a slave.

When you hunt for a job, it is not your book knowledge but your experience that matters more

Explanation:

Read this passage:
MACBETH. Be innocent of the knowledge, dearest chuck,
Till thou applaud the deed. Come, seeling night,
Scarf up the tender eye of pitiful day;
And with thy bloody and invisible hand
Cancel and tear to pieces that great bond
Which keeps me pale! Light thickens; and the crow
Makes wing to the rooky wood:
Good things of day begin to droop and drowse;
While night's black agents to their preys do rouse.
Thou marvellist at my words: but hold thee still;
Things bad begun make strong themselves by ill.
So, prithee, go with me.
- William Shakespeare, Macbeth, Act III, scene ii
What does the audience learn from the lines "Be innocent of the knowledge,
dearest chuck, / Till thou applaud the deed"?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

There is a whole lot going on in this scene, but I think there are 2 things you should keep in mind:

The power is shifting. Macbeth no longer needs Lady Macbeth to goad him on. He is hiding from her a key piece of this thinking. The first lines of the speech tell you that. Be innocent of the knowledge, Till thou (can) applaud the deed. He is planning the murder of Banquo and he really doesn't want her input. He is telling her that she must wait till the murder is done and then what he has been doing will be apparent. Everybody comments on those lines because it is a foreshadow of many things to come. One of the most obvious is Lady Macbeth's madness.The rest of the speech has to do with his walk in the path of evil. He prefers night to day, because all is hidden by night.
