They would be on him any minute now. His mind worked franticarly. He thought of a native trick he had
learned in Uganda. He slid down the tree. He caught hold of a springy young sapling and to it he fastened his
hunting knife, with the blade pointing down the trail; with a bit of wild grapevine he tied back the sapling.
Then he ran for his life. The hounds raised their voices as they hit the fresh scent. Rainsford knew now how
an animal at bay feels.
He had to stop to get his breath. The baying of the hounds stopped abruptly, and Rainsford's heart stopped,

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.

Answers

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

Answers

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.

Revise the passage below to remove the two shifts in verb mood. Your revised passage should use only imperative mood. Driving is a big responsibility. If you drive, there are many things you must do to make sure your car is safe to drive. Be sure the lights and turn signals are working before you drive. Check the windshield wipers, in case you get caught in the rain. You should check the air pressure in your tires. Finally, get regular oil changes, and adjust your mirrors and seat before driving.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answers are:

Driving is a big responsibility. If you drive, there are many things you must do to make sure your car is safe to drive.

Explanation:

When we talk about the mood of a verb we are referring to the way in which a verb is expressed. In this case our paragraph should contain only verbs in imperative mood.

The imperative is a mode used by the speaker to give orders, advice or make requests to one or more people directly.

The imperative serves to:

make suggestions or proposals; give orders; give advice; make requests.

Of all the sentences contained in the paragraph, the first two are the only ones that do not fit this description.

She fought by her brother Polyneices's side in the war.
She spoke highly of her father, which was frowned
upon.

Answers

Answer:

She disobeyed his command and buried her brother.

Explanation:

As the text explains, “To bury the dead was a most sacred duty, not only to bury one's own, but any stranger one might come upon. But this duty, Creon's proclamation said, was changed in the cause of Polyneices to a crime. He who buried him would be put to death.” When Creon learns that Antigone has defied his order, he has her killed.

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.

Answers

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.

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?

Answers

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.

The poet feels that a pair of socks, no matter how beautiful and soft, would have no purpose if one of the pair is missing. The beauty of socks comes when they are in pairs.

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