Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:

Doctor Pascal
by Emile Zola

In the heat of the glowing July afternoon, the room, with blinds carefully closed, was full of a great calm. From the three windows, through the cracks of the old wooden shutters, came only a few scattered sunbeams which, in the midst of the obscurity, made a soft brightness that bathed surrounding objects in a diffused and tender light. It was cool here in comparison with the overpowering heat that was felt outside, under the fierce rays of the sun that blazed upon the front of the house.

Standing before the press which faced the windows, Dr. Pascal was looking for a paper that he had come in search of. With doors wide open, this immense press of carved oak, adorned with strong and handsome mountings of metal, dating from the last century, displayed within its capacious depths an extraordinary collection of papers and manuscripts of all sorts, piled up in confusion and filling every shelf to overflowing. For more than thirty years the doctor had thrown into it every page he wrote, from brief notes to the complete texts of his great works on heredity. Thus it was that his searches here were not always easy. He rummaged patiently among the papers, and when he at last found the one he was looking for, he smiled.

For an instant longer he remained near the bookcase, reading the note by a golden sunbeam that came to him from the middle window. He himself, in this dawnlike light, appeared, with his snow-white hair and beard, strong and vigorous; although he was near sixty, his color was so fresh, his features were so finely cut, his eyes were still so clear, and he had so youthful an air that one might have taken him, in his close-fitting, maroon velvet jacket, for a young man with powdered hair.

Which of these words in the passage is used in a way that would be most unclear to a modern reader without the context that is provided by the passage? (5 points)



Press

In the second paragraph, Morrie's dancing alone is a sign of his:

A. loneliness.

B. individuality.

C. introversion.

D. abnormality.

Paragraph: He had always been a dancer, my old professor. The music didn’t matter. Rock and roll, big band, the blues. He loved them all. He would close his eyes and with a blissful smile begin to move to his own sense of rhythm. It wasn’t always pretty. But then, he didn’t worry about a partner. Morrie danced by himself.

Answers

the answer would be C. (introversion)

In the second paragraph, Morrie's dancing alone is a sign of his introversion. The correct option is C. Morrie's appreciation of dance is closely related to how he views freedom. As Mitch says of him at the Wednesday dance nights in Harvard Square, dance is a way for him to break free from a culture he doesn't find useful.

What is the message of dancing?

Basic goals: physical release and self-expression. The expression and transmission of emotion are one of dance's most fundamental purposes. Dance is a common way for people—and some animals—to express strong emotions like sudden bursts of ecstasy, joy, impatience, or rage.

Morrie enjoyed dancing a lot. He frequented a church hall near Harvard Square for many years where everyone was welcome to dance however they wanted and with whomever, they wanted once a week while music was blasted. By himself, Morrie danced.

Thus, the ideal selection is option C.

Your sister has gained admission in to your former s chool.Write a letter giving her information about the school and advise her on how to behave well while in the school.

Answers

Answer:

Dear sister,

I hope you are doing well. Mum told me that you were admitted into my former school congratulations! Let me give you some helpful advice to have the best experience possible and the best grades.

You should always pay attention in class and not speak with your classmates, especially during Math class with Mr. Jenssen. He is a strict teacher who will give you extra homework if you misbehave during his lessons. On the other hand, he is a good teacher who is always willing to help when you struggle with the given tasks.

The school has a strict dressing code. Be sure to wear the appropriate attire. Do not wear short skirts or short t-shirts since teachers will send you to detention, and what is more, you will have to wear gym clothes for the rest of the day.

The school is one of the best in our state. You must study hard to pass all your exams. Also, there are many different clubs that you can join. I know that you like reading, the school has a literature club where they discuss new books every week, you should become a member since I'm sure that you will make a lot of friends with the same interests as you.

I have to go now, but I hope that you find this information helpful. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any doubts or need advice.

All the best.

Explanation:

A letter to a friend or a relative should have informal language. That is to say that we can use informal words and contractions.

When we write a letter, we have to divide it into three main sections. First, we have the introduction where we address the reader, ask how she is doing, and introduce the letter's topic. In the following section, we give suggestions and information. This section can have multiple paragraphs. Lastly, we have the closing paragraph. We have to say our goodbyes and ask the reader to write if there are any doubts.

Answer:

4) Micah told Shelly that she will take notes, she will complete the test, and she will get a good grade.

Answer:

4) Micah told Shelly that she will take notes, she will complete the test, and she will get a good grade.

Explanation:

Sentences with parallelism have every verb in the same tense and every noun in agreement. This means that each section of the sentence, so the parts separated by commas, should be in the same structure. The first 3 answer choices have different tenses used. However, the 4th sentence is entirely in future tense and therefore correct.

Review friar Lawrence's soliloquy in act 2 scene iii of Romeo and juilet. Which statements about friar Lawrence's

Answers

Hi. This question is incomplete. The complete question should be "Which statements about Friar Laurence's soliloquy are true?" So I hope this answer helps you.

Answer:

The true statements are Friar's advice on how to cook using herbs, advice on how to use herbs, and descriptions of his role as a Friar.

Explanation:

Friar Laurence's soliloquy to which this question refers is the moment where Friar describes to the public about the coexistence of good and evil. In this soliloquy he presents several references about herbs and medicinal plants and how to use them to cure diseases, flavor foods and do beneficial things. But Friar also claims that if these herbs are misused, the results will be catastrophic, and many of these herbs are poisonous. He further talks about his role as a Friar and poses as a tutor to Romeo. All this talk about herbs and their use is a metaphor for love.

Read the excerpt from "The Discovery of Oz, the Terrible." "Just to amuse myself, and keep the good people busy, I ordered them to build this City, and my Palace; and they did it all willingly and well. . . . I have been good to the people, and they like me; but ever since this Palace was built, I have shut myself up and would not see any of them. . . . "I think you are a very bad man," said Dorothy. "Oh, no, my dear; I'm really a very good man, but I'm a very bad Wizard, I must admit." What will most likely happen next in the story?

Answers

This question is missing the answer choices. I was able to find them online. They are the following:

A. The Wizard will rebuild Emerald City.

B. The Wizard will gain magical powers.

C. Dorothy will have to find another way home.

D. Dorothy will make a home in Emerald City.

Answer:

What will most likely happen next in the story is:

C. Dorothy will have to find another way home.

Explanation:

"The Discovery of Oz, the Terrible" is the 15th chapter in "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz," by L. Frank Baum. The main character of the book is Dorothy Gale, a girl who is taken from Kansas by a tornado into a magical land.

Of course, Dorothy wishes to go back home. So she goes on a journey filled with challenges and surprises. She is eventually told to go see the Wizard of Oz, so that he can help her return home.

In the excerpt we are analyzing here, the Wizard says, "I'm really a very good man, but I'm a very bad Wizard, I must admit." This implies that the Wizard will not be able to help Dorothy after all. In that case, Dorothy needs to find another way to go back to Kansas.

I was covered with them. They swarmed inside my shirt and panties, into my hair, under my arms. Until Mami saw them, I hadn’t felt them sting. But they bit ridges into my skin that itched and hurt at the same time. Mami ran me to the washtub and dunked me among my father’s soaking shirts.

“Pablo!” she called, “Oh, my God! Look at her. She’s being eaten alive!”

I screamed, imagining my skin disappearing in chunks into the invisible mouths of hundreds of tiny black specks creeping into parts of my body I couldn’t even reach. Mami pulled off my clothes and threw them on the ground. The soap in the washtub burned my skin, and Mami scrubbed me so hard her fingernails dug angry furrows into my arms and legs. She turned me around to wash my back, and I almost fell out of the tub.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

this is the answer can i have brainliest? if it is right

Individual vs. nature is the type of conflict is demonstrated in this excerpt. Hence, option B is correct.

What is Individual vs. nature?

When a character encounters opposition from a natural source, a character vs. nature conflict arises as opposed to a supernatural force. This could refer to the atmosphere, the outdoors, or a natural catastrophe.

Another excellent example is the Tom Hanks-starring film Cast Away. When the main character Chuck survives a plane accident and finds himself abandoned on an island, a confrontation between man and nature arises. As he discovers how to survive on the island and later finds his way home, the themes of man's inventiveness and determination to survive are highlighted.

Conflict that pits a character against an animal or a natural force, like a storm, tornado, or snow, is known as "man against nature" conflict.

Thus, option B is correct.

Explanation:

basic word to which affixes (prefixes and suffixes) are added is called a root word because it forms the basis of a new word. The root word is also a word in its own right. For example, the word lovely consists of the word love and the suffix -ly.

Answer:

I think The origin of “universal” in Latin likely comes from the two root-words unum (meaning “one”) and vertere (meaning “turn”). The image it evokes is something like an architect’s compass, which is used to make a circle around “one” central point.

A half-filled rectangular tank has 30,000 cm water. If its base is 750 cm, what is the height of the tank?

Answers

Answer:

Height = 80 cm

Explanation:

Base area = 750 cm

Volume of water = 30,000 cm³

Since the tank is half-filled with water, it's volume is twice the amount of water.

Volume = 30,000 * 2 = 60,000 cm³

To find the height of tank;

Mathematically, the volume of a cylinder is given by the formula;

Volume = base area * height

Substituting into the formula, we have;

60,000 = 750 * height

Height = 60000/750

Height = 80 cm

What are the first words Scout says to Arthur Radley when she sees him in the house? to kill a mockingbird

Answers

Answer:

The first words that Scout Finch said to Arthur "Boo" Radley were "Hey, Boo."

Explanation:

Harper Lee's "To Kill A Mockingbird," tells the story of the residents of Maycomb in Alabama, from the point of view of the youngest character Jean Louis "Scout" Finch. The novel deals with themes of racism, family, right and wrong, good vs. evil, morality, human nature, etc.

Although Scout mentions the name of "Boo" Radley numerous times in the story, it is not until chapter 29 that she actually came face to face with the man that so intrigued her. The chapter reveals Bob Ewell's attack on Scout and Jem after the school pageant, which resulted in the death of the attacker. It was then that Scout realizes the man who had rescued them from their attacker was Boo Radley. So, Scout's first words to Boo were "Hey, Boo."
