9. Jack's happiness in killing his first pig is ruined because

b. he letting the fire signal go out
C. No one saw him kill it. d. he regretted not asking Ralph to join

Answer:

Ralph

he letting the fire signal go out

Explanation:

This is from the book Lord of the Flies and the story is narrated about a group of boys who are stranded in an island all alone and how their various experiences get them to show their more brutal sides and some others like Ralph show their leaderships skills.

Therefore, the character who most represented civilization was Ralph and Jack's happiness in killing his first pig is ruined because he let the fire signal go out.

Jack killed a pig and he is excited but when the others discover he failed to keep their fire signal going and lost the chance to escape the island, they're enraged.

Read the passage from "Stalin: A Brutal Legacy Uncovered,” which is an informational text about Stalin’s atrocities and how he used ambition and fear to rule over people of the Soviet Union.

As Khrushchev informed the closed session of the Party apparatchiks, his report—which has entered history as the "Secret Speech"—was based on research by a special commission of senior leaders of the Communist Party. It covered primarily only one part of Stalin's murderous record: (underlined portion: the peak years of his savage "Great Purge" in the mid- and late 1930s, a massacre that wiped out a whole generation of Bolsheviks, the Party's oldest and most faithful members.)

Khrushchev, who went on to become the Soviet prime minister, said next to nothing about the rest of Stalin's victims, who have been estimated at more than 20 million.

Stalin's genocidal record was the product of a ruthless, steely personality hardened by searing hardships in his youth: first, brutal beatings by his alcoholic, dirt-poor father; and later, several rounds of imprisonment and exile—from which he often escaped—following his expulsion from a Russian Orthodox seminary for fomenting a strike of railroad workers. For the 20-year-old Stalin, an outstanding student with top marks in Bible and Church studies, the strike was the first step on a new road - a career of rebellion, crime, and radical politics that eventually made him the unquestioned boss of the Communist Party and of 140 million people in the Soviet Union.

Which phrase best explains the purpose of the underlined text?

to give evidence of Stalin’s genocidal actions
to explain why Stalin became a ruthless murderer
to focus the reader’s thoughts on Stalin’s personality
to summarize Stalin’s time as a Communist leader

Select the correct answer. What can be correctly concluded based on this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich? At the law courts too, Ivan Ilyich noticed, or thought he noticed, a strange attitude towards himself. It sometimes seemed to him that people were watching him inquisitively as a man whose place might soon be vacant. Then again, his friends would suddenly begin to chaff him in a friendly way about his low spirits, as if the awful, horrible, and unheard-of thing that was going on within him, incessantly gnawing at him and irresistibly drawing him away, was a very agreeable subject for jests. Schwartz in particular irritated him by his jocularity, vivacity, and savoir-faire, which reminded him of what he himself had been ten years ago. A. Ivan misses his former self before the fear of his impending death forced him to mend his ways. B. Ivan looks forward to spending quality time with his friends, but not his family. C. Ivan likes to share his innermost thoughts and feelings with his friends. D. Ivan was pompous and fake until his impending death made him face the reality of his life. E. Ivan found his friends to be caring and supportive during his illness after his bad fall.

3. What surprises Percy after he defeats Mrs. Dodds?​

Use the excerpt from Peter Pan to answer the question. Mrs. Darling came to the window, for at present she was keeping a sharp eye on Wendy. She told Peter that she had adopted all the other boys, and would like to adopt him also. “Would you send me to school?” he inquired craftily. "Yes.” “And then to an office?” "I suppose so.” “Soon I would be a man?” “Very soon.” “I don’t want to go to school and learn solemn things,” he told her passionately. “I don’t want to be a man. O Wendy’s mother, if I was to wake up and feel there was a beard!” “Peter,” said Wendy the comforter, “I should love you in a beard;” and Mrs. Darling stretched out her arms to him, but he repulsed her. “Keep back, lady, no one is going to catch me and make me a man.” “But where are you going to live?” “With Tink in the house we built for Wendy. The fairies are to put it high up among the treetops where they sleep at nights.” “How lovely,” cried Wendy so longingly that Mrs. Darling tightened her grip. “I thought all the fairies were dead,” Mrs. Darling said. "There are always a lot of young ones,” explained Wendy, who was now quite an authority, “because you see when a new baby laughs for the first time a new fairy is born, and as there are always new babies there are always new fairies. They live in nests on the tops of trees; and the mauve ones are boys and the white ones are girls, and the blue ones are just little sillies who are not sure what they are.” “I shall have such fun,” said Peter, with one eye on Wendy. “It will be rather lonely in the evening,” she said, “sitting by the fire.” “I shall have Tink.” In one to two sentences, determine how Wendy's point of view changes as the dialogue continues.
