Describe how the author uses flashback to build surprise in the passage. Be sure to use specific details from the passage in your explanation.


In order to get ready for my trip to Paris, I had met with a French woman named Veronique. I had heard she was the best French language tutor in the Los Angeles area, so I had set up appointment to meet her for lessons at her home. As I had entered her house, she told me that she was a native Parisian who had recently moved to the United States and that she desperately missed France. I had told her that I, too, had missed my home. I was born in Sicily, and I had moved to the United States when I was very young. I had always wondered what it would be like if I had stayed in Sicily. Who would my friends be? What college would I have gone to? What if I had stayed in Sicily and had become a scientist or a nurse instead of studying to become a feature filmmaker? There were so many unknowns, and these thoughts always made me resentful.
As Veronique showed me around her home, I had noticed that the bathrooms had shelves of powder puffs and perfume bottles displayed like diamonds on mirrored platters. I had looked at myself in the mirror and thought about how my parents had moved me to this country without much of anything. They did not have an education because they had never had those opportunities back then. They had worked hard, every day, for years, and they had saved enough money to put me through college.
Here I was, an American citizen studying to be a filmmaker. I had already won an independent film award for a documentary I had made, but I still had so much to learn. Now I was on my way to France to learn the French language. It was my dream to be a filmmaker and to visit France. French film was my favorite genre; the style inspired me, and immersing myself in the French culture was the next logical step in my career.
The day I landed in France, I walked around the airport and rolled my luggage past people speaking French. As I attempted to catch a cab, my bag collided with some woman’s high-heeled shoes, and I accidentally almost tripped her.
"Pardon," I quickly said, hoping that she was not hurt. The woman turned to look at me; it was Veronique.
"Is that you, Veronique?" I said.
"Yes,” she replied. "I came for an impromptu visit."
"You are the last person I expected to bump into here," I said, amazed.
"I am just here for a couple of weeks, and then I'll be going back to L.A.," she said, smiling.
I looked over at the taxi stand and said, "Would you like to share a ride?"
"Yes," she said,"but we have to speak French now. You wouldn't want all those lessons to go to waste."
We laughed and shared a cab toward Paris.

Based on the meaning of the prefix mis-, meaning "not", what can you conclude is the definition of the underlined word in the following sentence?

She mistrusted the report she read on the Internet.

a did not trust
b trusted too much
c wanted to trust
d trusted with good reason

Answers

Answer:

As mis- means "not", "mistrusted" means "not trusted", which is A.

Answer: The answer would be A) did not trust.

Explanation: The reason for this is if you break up the word into "mis- " and "trusted" you know from the question that the prefix mis- means "not". Therefore if you add the prefix mis- to the word "trusted" it would mean that something is not trusted.

A. The Mandrin refuses to listen to his daughter when she tells him to ignore Kwan-Si's wall because she is not a son.

B. The Mandarin retaliates against Kwan-Si's new wall by building his own instead of ignoring it like his daughter suggests.

C. The Mandarin decides to gather the stone-masons and temple builders to create a new wall that will defeat Kwan-Si's wall​

Answers

Answer:

C. The Mandarin decides to gather the stone-masons and temple builders to create a new wall that will defeat Kwan-Si's wall​.

Explanation:

Ray Bradbury's short story "The Golden Kite, The Silver Wind," tells the allegorical tale of how each and every element of human life is dependent on the other. The story tells of unity, brotherhood, life, struggle, envy, the good of all things, etc.

When the Mandarin learned of the new wall of Kwan-Si that he followed the advice of his daughter and build a new wall. He instructed his stone-masons, and temple builders to construct a wall that will 'defeat' any shape that the town of Kwan-Si has. So, the Mandarin's actions of following his daughter's suggestions and ordering the builders to build a new wall help set the plot for the next mission.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

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.

Without the information provided by the second paragraph, the reader might draw which of these conclusions about Dr. Pascal? (5 points)

PLZ HURRY ILL GIVE U BRANILEST In the space below, explain the steps one should take in choosing a research topic. Then, give an example of an effective research topic and explain why it is effective. Your answer should be between 45-50 words.

Answers

Answer: Here's one strategy for developing a research topic once you have a broad topic in mind:

   Background research will help you develop your topic and hone or change it in more appropriate ways. Knowing more about your topic's background can only help you develop a more effective topic, and therefore, research paper.

   Brainstorm concepts. Once you think of a broad topic that interests you, try to brainstorm all of the words or concepts you can that might be related to that topic (and write them down!). For example, if your topic is "polar bears," you might think of the following words and topics in association: ice, cubs, pollution, hunting, diet, climate change, and environmental icon.

   Develop a research question. Once you have come up with a broad topic and done some background research, you may want to develop a research question, or a question you're going to answer in your paper by doing more, in-depth research.

   What's your general approach to the topic? Think about some general approaches that may help you further develop your topic: use a historical angle by focusing on a particular time period; a geographical angle, focusing on a particular part of the world; or a sociological angle, focusing on a particular group of people.

   Start doing some exploratory, in-depth research. As you do more in-depth research, like looking for scholarly articles, books, and other sources to include in your paper, you can and probably will modify or refine your topic based on what you find.

   Research is a dynamic process. Don't be afraid to discover new things and modify or refine your topic.

The topic development process will help you to develop your thesis, which is essentially your proposed answer to your research question. You will then be ready to use the sources you've found, and find more sources in order to support that thesis, or to answer your research question.

Here's an example of how the topic development process above can lead you to a thesis:
