Why is ‘for a second repeated in the paragraph beginning 'Conor frowned, and for a second the whole room seemed to get darker'? In A MONSTER CALLS

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The repetition of "for a second" is done to emphasize how quickly Conor's sensations and emotions (which lasted for a second) were felt.

Explanation:

In "A monster calls" we are presented with the following paragraph:"Conor frowned, and for a second the whole room seemed to get darker, for a second it felt like the whole house was shaking, for a second it felt like he could reach down and tear the whole floor right out of the dark and loamy earth."

In this paragraph we can see the use of the figure of speech called Anaphor, which allows a word, or a group of words, to be repeated to emphasize some message that the author wishes to convey. In this paragraph we can see the repetition of "for a second", which was done to emphasize the speed with which Conor felt emotions and sensations.

What implicit meaning can you find about the sick woman and her children from this text.

Answers

Answer:

The mother was unable to provide for her children.

Explanation:

Answer:

the mother was unable to provide for her children's needs, the answer is C

Explanation:

in the text the author implies that the family is poor by saying " a poor bare, miserable room it was, with broken windows, no fire, ragged bed clothes, a sick mother, wailing baby, and group of pale hungry children", the implicit meaning in a text is something that the author infers or suggests but doesn't directly say, it is the hidden message, although the author does suggest that the family is poor and the mother was unable to provide for her children, it is implicit because he doesn't directly say it, it was just implied.

Sheba tested King Solomon's wisdom and, when he succeeded, she showered him in
gifts. How do these allusions add to the development of the story? Use specific
evidence from the text to support your answer.

Answers

Answer:

What role do these allusions have in the progression of the narrative? Sheba informed the King that the reports about the accomplishments and wisdom that she had heard in her nation were correct. I came to put this to the test for myself.

Evidence to support answer:

   Solomon was a king once. He was wise. His wisdom made him a legend. He could handle anything. Their acclaim was for his wisdom. Sheba ruled. Solomon captivated her. Teased him. She came to test him. Natural and fake flower garlands. In front of the King by Queen Solomon pondered. Solomon noticed that withered roses drew bees. He desired windows open. They arrived and settled on the natural blooms, addressing her problem. The queen of Sheba was awestruck by Solomon's knowledge. He could handle anything. Those who knew him well respected him.

Read the last stanza of Robert Frost’s poem “The Road Not Taken.” Why is it significant that the two roads diverged?
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

from "The Road Not Taken"
by Robert Frost

A.
The speaker is recalling, "with a sigh," how difficult it had been for him to choose the more traveled or the less traveled of the two roads. The forked road is a metaphor for the inherent duality in the natural world.
B.
One of the forks in the road represents the speaker in his youth when he chose a road; the other stands for the speaker "ages and ages hence." The forked road is a metaphor for the many contradictions found in nature.
C.
The speaker is relieved that he chose the road of moral living over one of temptation and ruin, which would have come from the other path.
D.
The speaker is imagining what it might be like to describe his choice of a life path after he has taken that path to close to its end.

Answers

Answer:

C

Explanation:

He is saying that there are 2 roads leading away from a critical point in everyone's life.

He is glad that he has chosen the one that is less travelled which means he has gotten what he could from the life he lived.

Jesus says much the same thing in Matthew 7:13 and 14. One way leads to destruction, the other is the righteous path.

I think Frost had this in mind when he said that the less travelled path has made all the difference to him, because he is not lead by other people.

I think given what I have written, I believe that C is the correct answer. I don't think the metaphor means anything to do with nature. It has to do with moral behavior.

Answer:

C.

The speaker is relieved that he chose the road of moral living over one of temptation and ruin, which would have come from the other path.

'Advantages and disadvantages of long holidays'​

Answers

Answer:

The advantages of long holiday breaks during school are plentiful, but it can also be harmful for the educational process.

 Some advantages of having long holidays is relaxation, time with family and friends, extra time to have a nice vacation, and doing regular holiday activities and festivities. Breaks can be helpful for students and staff because it helps relieve stress and rejuvenates them for the rest of the year. Students may also be able to study longer during breaks and be prepared for finals or exams for the end of the semesters, or entrance exams depending on what holiday is being celebrated.

 Some disadvantages are missing time in the classroom, it can often make students forgetful, not many students study during breaks, and not many keep up with their learning. Some students are reliable enough to do projects or homework over an extended holiday, but others aren't, and it can really harm their grades. Students may see holiday breaks as full time vacation, and while they should be having fun, they also need to remember that school is important and they should keep learning to help themselves.

 Not all breaks are bad, but some students may not be able to keep up with their homework or projects, and that's the disadvantage of holidays.

What is the social impact of the bhopal gas tragedy

Answers

Answer:

Though the Bhopal gas tragedy took place close to 29 years ago, the city is still experiencing the effects of the gas leak. Around 3700 people died almost immediately following the incident in December 1984. The immediate cause of death was due to choking, circulatory collapse and pulmonary oedema (filling up of fluid in the lungs). Further post mortem reports revealed that people died not only of suffocation but also because the toxins had caused swelling in the brain, leading to disorientation and finally death, due to collapse of the nervous system. Other conditions include degeneration of the liver, and kidneys and rotting of the intestines. The stillbirth rate was 300% and neonatal mortality (death as an infant) was about 200% right after the tragedy.

Years later, the effects of the gas leak are still seen.In the year 2002 a report published by the Fact-Finding Mission on Bhopal found a number of toxins, including mercury, lead, trichlorobenzene, dichloromethane and chloroform in the breast milk of nursing mothers. In 2004 BBC Radio 5 broadcast reported that the area where UCIL had set up the plant, was still contaminated with toxic chemicals including benzene hexachloride and mercury, which were stored in open containers and in some cases spilled into the ground. In 2009 the same body also took samples from a commonly used hand pump situated north of the plant and found that the water contained 1000 times the World Health Organisation's recommended maximum amount of Carbon tetrachloride, a known carcinogen.

Since then clinical studies have shown that the survivors have still been suffering from debilitating conditions such as pulmonary fibrosis, bronchial asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema, recurrent chest infections, keratopathy and corneal opacities. They also showed that the following generations were suffering from respiratory, neurologic, psychiatric and ophthalmic symptoms.

Studies have found that exposure to methyl isocyanate leads to toxicity of the immune system, and alters the DNA of a person, leading to chromosomal instability. Babies born to pregnant woman exposed to MIC in the first trimester of pregnancy, showed symptoms of persistent immune system hyper-responsiveness (responses that are not in line with the amount of irritant present) .There has been a drastic increase in the number of babies born with physical as well as mental deformities. Children are born without arms or legs and are often unable to speak or care for themselves. Doctors in the region say that these deformities are very different from conventional birth defects and therefore very difficult to treat.

With recent news that third generation children of survivors are still showing debilitating deformities, and the funds meant to rehabilitate the victims are warming some politicians' pockets, It is appalling that the Indian judicial system has not taken enough action against the culprits.
