D.)All of the choices are correct.

Answers

Answer: D.

Explanation: Not alot of explaining needed....

In the story about Christmas, the little girl wishes that it would be Christmas every day, for Santa to bring her a bicycle and that everyone would have a turkey for Christmas dinner. Hence, option D is correct.

What is Christmas dinner?

While elements of our customs date back to paganism, the Victorians are credited with creating the classic Christmas as we know it today. The concept of a Christmas dinner with a roast turkey, all the fixings, and a pudding on the table was popularized by Charles Dickens in particular.

For Christians, Christmas is a time to commemorate the birth of Jesus, but for many others, the holiday is a time for feasts, ornaments, and presents.

The holiday season places a strong emphasis on "togetherness," and enjoying a sumptuous Christmas supper has become commonplace in our society.

Thus, option D is correct.

Write a 500-750 word essay informing the audience why an item you care about is superior to all others. Model your style of writing after "Modern Faithful Steed." Include solid facts as to why the item you selected is superior.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

         

One should not care for another living being because of any intention. You care because you love, and you want to be there for them.

If you think caring more, or going the extra mile for someone makes you superior then you are trying to justify your actions because, may be, deep inside you don’t want to. But since you are still doing it, thinking you are superior makes this action acceptable in your own eyes.

Care as much as you want, but when you feel you need to find justification for your action, it might be time for you to pause and take a closer look at what you are doing is something that you really want to or not.

All the taskbar items and shortcuts from the start menu are unable to complete their links.

This, then, is the last time, short of a miracle, that Henry Jekyll can think his own thoughts or see his own face (now how sadly altered!) in the glass. Nor must I delay too long to bring my writing to an end; for if my narrative has hitherto escaped destruction, it has been by a combination of great prudence and great good luck. Should the throes of change take me in the act of writing it, Hyde will tear it in pieces; but if some time shall have elapsed after I have laid it by, his wonderful selfishness and circumscription to the moment will probably save it once again from the action of his ape-like spite. And indeed the doom that is closing on us both has already changed and crushed him.

In four to five sentences, explain how this passage connects to the theme "Evil can never truly hide itself.

Answers

Answer:

A connection may be made between this extract and the topic "Evil can never truly hide itself." Because it demonstrates how Hyde continues to generate problems for Jekyll. However, even though Jekyll has regained control over Hyde at this specific point in time, he will never be able to do so completely-which is why Utterson and Enfield may catch glimpses of Hyde even though he is not physically there. People that are evil will never reveal their actual selves to you. To say that they live two lives would be an understatement of the highest kind. They are responsible for hundreds of lives.

The passage connects to the theme "Evil can never truly hide itself"as Hyde creates problem for Jekyll.
