Under the guidance of my new preceptors I entered with the greatest diligence into the search of the philosopher's stone and the elixir of life; but the latter soon obtained my undivided attention. Wealth was an inferior object, but what glory would attend the discovery if I could banish disease from the human frame and render man invulnerable to any but a violent death! Which lines from the text most clearly suggest that the narrator will fight against nature

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

"Wealth was an inferior object, but what glory would attend the discovery if I could banish disease from the human frame and render man invulnerable to any but a violent death! "

Explanation:

Death and illness is a natural part of life and part of the nature of human beings. When the narrator of the text shown above states that he wants to fight disease and eliminate the natural death of human life, he is showing that he wants to fight against nature. This shows a type of conflict very common in literature, the conflict "character versus nature", where the human being in the face of his limitations seeks ways to defeat natural things and make them not be a problem in his life.

Mr. Covey tries to whip Douglass for being disrespectful, but Douglass fights back, which makes Mr. Covey respect him. Douglass finds that he will have to work as a field hand after trying to avoid field work his whole life. Mr. Covey tries to tame a team of unbroken oxen by giving them to Douglass, even though he has no experience with oxen.

Answers

Answer:

The correct is Mr. Covey's attempts to break Douglass's will with oppressive violence only serve to inspire Douglass to seek his freedom.

Explanation:

  Irony is a tool used to describe a situation where something other than what is expected to happen or be said, happens or is said.

Situational irony is a type of irony where someone expects something to happen, but something intervenes in this and the opposite ends up happening.

That is what happens when Mr. Covey tries to repress Douglass all the time through violence, so that he is afraid and never reveals himself. The irony of this situation is that by doing this, it achieves the opposite which is that Douglass takes courage to fight for his freedom.

Mr. Covey's attempts to break Douglass's will with oppressive violence only serve to inspire Douglass to seek his freedom.

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Read the excerpt from Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address.

But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate—we cannot consecrate—we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.

Lincoln uses parallelism in this excerpt to

a. acknowledge the limitations of the memorial ceremony.

b. criticize the audience for its disinterest in the war.

c. encourage soldiers to continue the fight for national unity.

d. emphasize the need for improved military strategy.

Answer:

Lincoln uses parallelism in this excerpt to:

a. acknowledge the limitations of the memorial ceremony.

Explanation:

Parallelism is the repetition of a grammatical structure inside a sentence. Parallelism is often used to create rhythm and consistency, as well as to make something easier to understand or more emphatic. The structure Lincoln repeats is the following:

"we cannot dedicate—we cannot consecrate—we cannot hallow"

He is using the subject "we" followed by the negative "cannot" and then a verb. The verbs are basically synonyms - dedicate, consecrate, and hallow. His purpose with this repetition is to acknowledge the limitations of the memorial ceremony. It is their wish to consecrate that place, but they cannot do it. The soldiers who have lost their lives during war have already done it with their blood. It is impossible for those who are present at the ceremony to make that place holier that it already is. There is only so much they can do. The fallen soldiers have done far more, "far above our poor power to add or detract."

Item 3 Review the sample dictionary entry for the word menace. menace \ ˈme-nəs \ noun: 1. threat; 2. danger menace verb: 1. to make a show of harm; 2. to threaten or bother Which sentence uses the word menace as a verb meaning “to threaten or bother”? Mosquitos can be a real menace at the campsite, so be sure to bring your bug spray! Teenagers have been known to menace their neighbors in a teasing game called ding-dong-ditch. The menace in the bully’s voice led the student to hand over the lunch money immediately. The court decided to put him in detention because he was such a menace to the community.

Answers

Hello there! :D

Let's look at the context of the word 'menace'. A fun example of this word would be the movie "Denis the Menace" if you have ever seen that! A menace is supposed to constitute a person or thing that is seen doing an annoyance or being a threat. Keep in mind: This can be a noun, verb, and descriptive word. We are looking for a verb because the question is "Which sentence uses the word menace as a verb meaning "to threaten or bother"?"

Now we can take a look at the answer choices:

A: Mosquitos can be a real menace at the campsite, so be sure to bring your bug spray!

This answer shows an annoyance or disturbance because of the mosquitos, but it is acting as a noun because the mosquitos are the menace.

B: Teenagers have been known to menace their neighbors in a teasing game called ding-dong-ditch.

This answer does show annoyance, and the teenagers are doing the action of "menacing" so this could be the best answer.

C: The menace in the bully's voice led the student to hand over the lunch money immediatley.

The word menace is acting as a descriptie word, not a verb. This is not the right answer.

D: The court decided to put him in detention because he was a menace to the community.

In this sentence, the word menace is used to describe "him" and not an action. This is not the right answer either!

So, I think it is safe to say the best answer is "B". This is the only sentence where menace acts like a verb. I hope this helped you answer some context questions in the future, and keep in mind, having this skill can help you greatly in the future with the SAT, ACT, and overall workforce!

Have a wonderful day,

Kai xx

The correct response regarding the word Menace is  Teenagers have been known to menace their neighbors in a teasing game called ding-dong-ditch. Therefore option B is the correct response.

What are Mosquitoes?

The family Culicidae, which includes about 3,600 species of tiny flies, includes mosquitoes as one of its members. The Spanish meaning for "mosquito" is "small fly." Mosquitoes have a long, segmented body, three pairs of long, hair-like legs, one pair of wings, one pair of halteres, and extended mouthparts.

Male mosquitoes typically only live 6 to 7 days and solely consume plant nectar; they do not consume blood. Females typically survive approximately 6 weeks on average, although they can live up to 5 months or more if they have access to enough food.

Illnesses that are transmitted by a mosquito bite are referred to as mosquito-borne diseases. Mosquitoes can transmit the Zika virus, West Nile virus, Chikungunya virus, dengue, and malaria to humans.

Mosquitoes are classified as Nematocera in the insect suborder Diptera. There are around 3600 species of mosquitoes in the family Culicidae under this suborder, with the most significant genera being Anopheles, Culex, Aedes, and Mansonia.

In developing the main idea of the passage, the author does which of the following? (A) Downplays earlier attempts to explain the origins of a social prohibition.

Answers

Answer:

(A) Downplays earlier attempts to explain the origins of a social prohibition.

Explanation:

In the given passage, the author presents a hypothesis concerning the various taboos regarding eating in front of someone who isn't. And in this hypothesis, the main emphasis was the limited nature of the food available for people.

The passage also reveals the author's belief that the attempts to explain in the past years regarding the taboos of eating are incomplete. If we are to consider the passage as valid, then we can safely assume that this taboo is mainly around where people have plenty, sometimes more than enough, to eat. And in developing the main idea of the passage, the author seems to downplay previous/ earlier attempts to provide any explanation of the origins of a social prohibition.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
