Answer and Explanation:
In the short story "The Lady or the Tiger", the princess is in love with a man of inferior birth. Her father, a semi-barbaric king, is furious about their relationship. He decides the man should be judged by randomly choosing one of two doors. He can either choose the one where there is a tiger, and be killed instantly, or he can choose the one behind which a damsel awaits to marry him. This is the king's idea of a fair trial.
As the trial gets closer and closer, the narrator tells us of the agony the princess is facing. She loves the man, so she does not want him to die. However, she fears he will be too happy if he opens the door to the damsel. It's as if she does not expect him to be faithful in his love for her, as if the happiness of not being killed by a tiger will automatically transform into love for the pretty girl behind the door. Anyway, the princess has no expectations of continuing her relationship with him. He will either die or marry someone.
That realization is bound to influence her decision. However, the author does not make it clear what that decision is. He leaves it for the readers to wonder what she has chosen to do. She knows which door leads to which fate. Will she guide the man to the tiger out of jealousy? Or will she point him to the damsel to save his life? We cannot know for sure. But I dare say she, as a semi-barbaric princess (according to the narrator himself) would end up pointing him the door with the tiger. If she will lose him anyway, at least she will not lose him to another woman. We must remember this princess is quite selfish and spoiled.

Wiesel shows how the United States failed to act on behalf of the Jews during World War II by:
A.applauding other countries for coming to the rescue of the Jews.
B.blaming the United States for the Holocaust.
C.pointing out the difference between Roosevelt and Truman.
D.mentioning what happened to the St. Louis.
Answer:
D. mentioning what happened to the St. Louis.
Explanation:
The Holocaust was one of the most heinous genocides in the history of the World. Under the German Nazi rule, the Jewish population was discriminated against and mass murdered just to ensure the 'survival' of the non-Jews. Hitler's act of capturing the Jews, torturing, 'working' them and killing them became one of history's worse crimes against humanity.
MS St. Louis was a passenger ship that sailed from Hamburg to Cuba carrying Jewish refugees with the hope of getting into Cuba and be saved from the mass murder in Germany. But once the ship reached Havana, the Cuban government refused them entry so they sailed to Florida. The United States also refused entry to the refugees citing immigration laws and restrictions as the main issue. So, the ship had to return to Europe where the ship's captain Captain Gustav Schröder pleaded and negotiated with various European nations to take the refugees in. Great Britain, Belgium, France, and Netherlands took them in.
Elie Weisel, a Holocaust survivor, mentioned this incident, the refusal of the United States in taking the Jewish refugees and pointed out that the US failed to act on behalf of the Jews during the Second World War.

You recently had the opportunity to see a live performance of one of your favorite bands. Write a review of the performance. In your review, be sure to highlight the best parts of the performance as well as offer some critiques.
Answer:
Two months ago I had the opportunity to see my favorite band live: Coldplay. They played nineteen songs (my favorite one was Viva la vida) and the band played really well, their energy was wonderful. The lead singer, Chris Martin, sang very nicely. However, the sound was not that good. I heard the audience singing the songs more than I heard the band playing. To be completely honest, that failing did not stop me from having the best time!
Explanation:
To complete the exercise, you have to write a review of the performance you saw from one of your favorite bands. In this case, I wrote about Coldplay and how their performance was great but the sound failed. When you write a review, it is important to give details about what you saw and how you felt while you were there.
Write a story that end with I had never been felt embarrassed in my life
I was at home listening to music while putting on clothes to wash when I heard the cell phone ringing. I closed the lid of the washing machine and went towards my cell phone, when I saw that the call was from my friend Debora, who had recently arrived from a trip.
Debora invited me to dinner at her house, which I quickly accepted, since I hadn’t seen her in a long time, this would be a perfect opportunity to chat and tell the news of the dobora trip, which by the way was a great cook.
I got ready and arrived at the scheduled time, I took a wine to drink while we ate and make the occasion more comfortable. Debora opened the door to the house and the smell of the food made me very excited, besides, I was happy to see that other friends had also been invited and had already arrived. This would be a really fun night.
I entered the house and greeted everyone and went towards a chair that was near the sofa, to sit and participate in the conversation that had started before my arrival. When I sat on the chair, I heard a high-pitched scream and felt a strong pressure on my legs. I got up quickly and saw that I had sat on a cat that was as black as the chair and was completely overwhelmed by my inattentive eyes.
Debora shouted from where she was sitting: "Oh my God! My cat." And ran to nurture the cat, everyone was astonished staring at me. I apologized, which was quickly accepted, but the embarrassment invaded me, for the first time, since I had never been felt embarrassed in my life.

The poet suggests that goodness and beauty are doubly so when we’re talking about socks, they are delightful because they come in pairs. Do you think this is a serious remark or a tongue-in- cheek (playful/joking) comment? Do you agree that everything that comes in pairs is special or wonderful?
Answer:
He is making a serious remark.Explanation:
In the poem "Ode to My Socks" by Pablo Neruda", the poet compares his soft socks to the most beautiful things in life. He says that they were the most heavenly socks he had ever worn.
When the poet suggests that 'goodness and beauty are doubly so when we’re talking about socks, they are delightful because they come in pairs, ' he is making a serious remark.

Yes, everything that comes in pairs is special or wonderful as we get to see and feel the same beautiful sight two times.
