Read the excerpt from "Flight into Yesterday." This leg was also the most dangerous of the entire trip. Howland, 2,600 miles to the east, was a tiny speck of land in the middle of the vast Pacific. It would take all of her skill as a pilot and Fred’s as a navigator to find the island. But danger did not worry her. She knew that flying carried risks. She faced them and accepted them. What mattered was setting herself a challenge and meeting it. What mattered was showing that women could do what men could do and encouraging other women to do what they were capable of. That was why she was flying over the Pacific, looking for a speck of land. Fame was never her goal. The important thing was to do what she had set out to do and to do it as well as she knew how. She had been that way all her life. Amelia Earhart, world-famous flier, was very much like the young girl who once lived in Atchison, Kansas. What best describes the author’s purpose?

Answers

Use the following excerpt from Boccaccio's The Decameron to answer the following question: "In the year of our Lord 1348, there happened at Florence, the finest city in all Italy a most terrible plague; which, whether owing to the influence of the planets, or that it was sent from God as a just punishment for our sins, had broken out some years before in the Levant (Middle East) and, after passing from place to place, and making incredible havoc all the way, had now reached the west… " Public Domain Based on the passage, how would Boccaccio likely feel about the actions of the flagellants, who warned Christians to repent?

Answers

This question is missing the options and is, therefore, incomplete. I've found the options online. They are the following:

Based on the passage, how would Boccaccio likely feel about the actions of the flagellants, who warned Christians to repent?

A. He would find their actions sinful because they accused God.

B. He would find their actions appropriate because the Church was corrupt.

C. He would find their actions appropriate because he believed human sin may have caused the plague.

D. He would find their actions inappropriate because he was certain the planets caused the plague.

Answer:

Boccaccio would probably feel the following:

C. He would find their actions appropriate because he believed human sin may have caused the plague.

Explanation:

Boccaccio does speak of the planets' influence causing the plague. However, that is not the only reason he deems possible. According to him, the plague could have very well been caused by sin. In that case, it would be a punishment sent by God. Therefore, if the plague was caused by sin, it made perfect sense to repent, just as was advocated by the flagellants. Boccaccio would, thus, most likely agree with them. Note: flagellants believe in repenting by hurting oneself, usually whipping one's own flesh.

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.

2 Excerpt from Thermometer Pills Can Save Young Lives Tracy Wilson While it doesn't look much different than the average vitamin capsule, the work it does inside the body is truly amazing. Once ingested these capsules send an internal body temperature reading to a portable device that is like a Palm Pilot. A coach or professional trainer monitors the device during practices or events held when temperatures and heat indexes are particularly high. If an athlete's body temperature reaches a dangerous level, the monitor immediately transmits an alert. The player is then rushed indoors and placed in an ice bath to rapidly decrease his or her body temperature. This is important, since internal organs can begin shutting down at 105 degrees Fahrenheit.
