Explanation:
In this excerpt of "The Crab That Played with the Sea," we have a type of allegory. Characters and events are used to describe something that exists or happens in the real world. In this case, what is being explained is how the moon influences the tides. In the story, there is a Fisherman of the Moon who throws his line into the ocean.

Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone, by James Cross Giblin.
Young had learned to read before he was two, and by the age of twenty had mastered a dozen foreign languages
including Arabic, Persian, and Turkish. An inheritance from an uncle left him free to pursue his scientific interests. At
various times, Young studied the habits of spiders, the surface features of the moon, and diseases of the chest. Then,
intrigued by the challenge of the Rosetta Stone, he put aside his other studies and concentrated on attempting to
decipher the writing on it. Young had read of de Sacy's and Akerblad's work in Paris, and was determined to succeed
where they had failed.

Read the excerpt from We Shall Not Be Moved.
The League, like Local 25, had expected a turnout of four or five thousand. They were bowled over by this army, utterly unprepared for it. They had organized strikes in the garment trade, small ones, usually confined to a single shop, but never before had they undertaken something on so vast a scale. They might fail, might be laughed at by the whole of New York as well as John Dyche and the ILGWU men, and all the same they knew this was the challenge they'd been hoping for — their chance to show the world they were more than highbrow butters-in, just as the shirtwaist makers were more than irresponsible little girls.
How would a careful rereading of this excerpt help a reader understand the "League" mentioned in the first sentence?

What are punctuation and conjunction?Punctuation refers to the use of symbols such as commas, periods, and quotation marks in writing to clarify meaning and improve readability. Punctuation marks are used to indicate pauses, breaks, emphasis, and other aspects of spoken language that may not be apparent in written text.
A conjunction is a word that connects words, phrases, or clauses. Examples of conjunctions include "and," "or," "but," "because," and "although." Conjunctions are used to join ideas together and create relationships between different parts of a sentence.
Here in the Question,
A split infinitive is a phrase in which an adverb is placed between the two parts of an infinitive (e.g., "to boldly go").
A dangling modifier is a phrase that does not logically modify the word it is intended to modify.
A fused sentence, also known as a run-on sentence, is two independent clauses joined without proper punctuation or conjunction.
Therefore, In the given sentence, the problem is that the two independent clauses "Sharon won a pie-eating contest" and "she feels pretty sick now" are joined with a comma, which is not sufficient to properly connect two independent clauses.

The women in the play find several items that indicate Mrs. Wright's household routine was abruptly interrupted. The interruption was likely caused by
Answer:
The interruption was likely caused by the death of Mr. Wright which led to the arrest of Mrs. Wright, thus, the incomplete household work.
Explanation:
Susan Glaspell's play "Trifles" revolves around the murder of Mr. Wright while his wife was asleep. But the wife was wrongfully accused of that murder and kept captive for trial.
When the Sheriff came along with the county attorney and the others to observe the crime scene, they found that some things were left lying, as if they had been left abruptly. The dishes/ utensils were left unwashed under the sink, "a loaf of bread outside the bread-box, a dish-towel on the table—other signs of incompleted work." This must be because when Mr. Wright's death was discovered, Hale immediately called Harry and took the man down and thus, began the crime investigation. And since Mrs. Wright was the only one present during the "killing" of her husband, she was the first suspect to be taken which must have been why she had to abandon all things undone and be taken to the station.
Moreover, Hale also mentioned how "queer" Mrs. Wright looked when he asked her about the death, remarking that she just sat on the rocking chair and pleated her apron, with not much of an expression on her face.
The boy ran home, and he got his baseball glove."

Answer and Explanation:
You did not provide the passage to which this question refers, for this reason, I will analyze the literary devices in the work as a whole. I hope it helps.
In most of the text, Shakespeare uses white verses that are those verses that do not have a rhyme. It does this to make the storyline more credible and allow human characters to speak more in a way that is realistic, allowing viewers to identify with them.
Shakespeare also makes a strong use of iambic pentameter, to show the characters that belong to the most noble and high social classes. That's because the iambic pentameter was a sophisticated way of using rhythm in a text.
Symbolism, on the other hand, was used to create a subjective, mysterious and unpredictable atmosphere, as it allowed the public to have different interpretations and to reason about the real meaning of what was happening.

Find the error with subject-verb agreement. Select the incorrect verb and type it correctly. Either baby kale or spinach make a nice addition to Tuscan white bean soup
Answer:
The incorrect verb is "make" and will be replaced by "makes".
So, the final corrected sentence will be - Either baby kale or spinach makes a nice addition to Tuscan white bean soup.
Explanation:
Subject-verb agreement refers to the use of the correct form of verb for the subject in the sentence. This means that the verb depends on the subject/ subjects and should be used accordingly.

In at least one hundred words, discuss how a humorous tone or satire can be a good way to make a serious point. Use selections from "Life Without Go-Go Boots" and "Uncle John's Farm" to support your explanation.
Answer:
Humor and satire draw attention to the subject, making readers think about it. The more they think about it, the more they consider it a serious point. Consideration leads to more attention for the author, and therefore the author sells more books. See, everything ties back to commercialism! You know, if you think about it though, it's true. Humor and satire draw our attention because they make us laugh. We humans like to laugh, so of course, we will remember what made us laugh. So remembering it will make us consider it, and considering it makes us see it as a serious point.
Satire is a genre of literature in which the vices, shortcomings and excesses of a person, institution or society at large are held up to ridicule. Satire often has a social or political purpose, as the writing is often meant to shame these entities into improvement.
Satire most often uses humorous language, but this does not mean that it cannot deal with serious topics. In fact, satire is especially useful when we need to address a serious, difficult topic, and offer social criticism, in a nonthreatening way. This is the case with "Uncle John's Farm." Although the author talks about serious topics, such as slavery and racism, he does so in a way that proves to be more accessible and less threatening than it would be if these topics were discussed in a serious tone.
