What mainly do the following lines about the ballerinas reveal (paragraph 10)?
They weren't really very good—no better than anybody else would have been, anyway. They were burdened with sashweights and bags of birdshot, and their faces were masked, so that no one, seeing a free and graceful gesture or a pretty face, would feel like something the cat drug in.

A. The ballerinas are the only people left who are allowed to be beautiful.

Read these lines from the selection.
He pressed his hand to the trunk of one of the largest maples, and was struck by how much the bark, gray and brown,
with light streaks and dark spots, looked like the age-mottled skin on the back of his hand.
This image emphasizes -
A)
the changing of season
B)
Will's deep love of nature
the passing of Will's youth
D)
the tree's diseased state
Answer:
C. The passing of Will's youth.
Explanation:
In the science-fictional work "Golden Year" Igor Teper tells the story of Will and his struggle with loneliness and growing old. The fictional story is set in an administered setting of a forest that Will's wife Alice had helped create.
The given excerpt from the story shows the scene where Will finally decided to venture into the forest and be among the trees and feel Alice. In comparing the wooden bark to his own "age-mottled skin", Will's old age is emphasized. Though the trees were how they should be, in comparison, Will's skin had wrinkled and became old, "decayed far from the man Alice had agreed to marry."
Thus, this image of the bark emphasizes Will's passing youth.
Read the excerpt from "New Land, New Life."
"Nonsense," said Ruth sternly. "The nearest town is a week away by horseback. With all due respect, Mr. Thorpe, you’re in homesteading country now. We take care of our own. There isn’t a homesteader within one hundred miles of here who has survived these parts without jumping at the chance for help when it’s offered."
Mr. Thorpe nodded uncomfortably. Ruth could see that he was a man who was used to having control over a situation. This was a possibility in the bigger cities, but out here on the prairie, there was no such thing.
How does Ruth’s view differ from Mr. Thorpe’s view about where the Thorpe family will stay?
Ruth thinks the Thorpe family should live in a nearby home, but Mr. Thorpe wants them to leave.
Ruth thinks the Thorpe family should stay at her home, but Mr. Thorpe wants them to leave.
Ruth thinks the Thorpe family should camp out near her home, but Mr. Thorpe wants them to live inside.
Ruth thinks the Thorpe family should return to the city, but Mr. Thorpe thinks they should build a home nearby.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Ruth’s view differ from Mr. Thorpe’s as Ruth thinks the Thorpe family should return to the city, but Mr. Thorpe thinks they should build a home nearby.
What is view?This is known to be the opinion about something that is often given by a person.

Read the excerpt from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. I never saw a circle of such hateful faces; and there was the man in the middle, with a kind of black sneering coolness—frightened too, I could see that—but carrying it off, sir, really like Satan. ‘If you choose to make capital out of this accident,’ said he, ‘I am naturally helpless. No gentleman but wishes to avoid a scene,’ says he. ‘Name your figure.’ Well, we screwed him up to a hundred pounds for the child’s family; he would have clearly liked to stick out; but there was something about the lot of us that meant mischief, and at last he struck. What type of conflict does the excerpt illustrate? character vs. self character vs. character character vs. society character vs. nature
Answer:
Character vs. character
Explanation:
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a novella written by Robert Louis Stevenson. The story follows Gabriel John Utterson, a lawyer from London who investigates the case of his lifelong friend Dr. Henry Jekyll. Jekyll has developed an evil alter ego named Edward Hyde. At first, he is able to control him(self), but in the end, Hyde completely takes over.
In literature, the term conflict refers to a struggle a character is going through. There are two main types of conflict:
Internal conflict - the character is going through some kind of dilemma and is struggling within himself/herself.External conflict - the character is struggling with some outside force, e.g. another character, society, or nature.The given excerpt is an example of external conflict. We can see that the narrator is in conflict with another character. This character is not named in this passage and is simply referred to as he. This is why this is an example of a character vs. character type of conflict.

No other artist has captured light in its many forms, hues, and patterns like the inimitable Thomas Kinkade.
That year, he earned the honorary title of Artist of the Year from the National Association of Limited Edition Dealers (NALED).
Some people say that Kinkade is a passing craze of the twenty–first century; however, it is clear that he has staying power in the art world.
The only reason he is so popular is that he captures on canvas the scenes that relax and pacify us during a turbulent time in American history.

The answer is D
what motif is present in both the myth and the modern story?
The correct answer is D. Useless attempts to change fate
Explanation:
In both the myth and the play, the main characters of the story try to avoid a prediction or prophecy. In the case of the myth, Cronus wants to prevent his overthrow, while in the play, Odewale wants to avoid killing his father. However, despite their effort and actions at the end, the prophecy is fulfilled. This shows the fate can not be avoided and any attempt is useless. In this context, one motif (recurrent symbol) in these literary works is "useless attempts to change fate" because in both texts this general idea is shown through the plot and actions of the characters.
