Answer 2

Answer:

E. It establishes the conventional view about whether babies dream in order to show how the argument of the passage departs from this understanding.

Explanation:

Answer E

Correct. The function of the second paragraph is to establish the conventional view that babies must dream because they experience REM sleep. It is important to explain this position because it helps readers understand how the passage’s argument—that babies probably do not dream because their brains are occupied with other activities and lack the capacity for visual imagination—relates to other points of view on the topic.

Read the excerpt from Act II of Julius Caesar.

Calpurnia: (With horror; pointing off to the city) A li­oness hath whelped in the streets. (She looks at the sky.) Fierce fiery warriors fight upon the clouds, which drizzled blood upon the Capitol. (Clasping her hands in fright) And ghosts did shriek and squeal about the streets.

Caesar: (Firmly) Yet Caesar shall go forth.

Calpurnia: (In a desperate voice) When beggars die there are no comets seen; The heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princes.

Announcer 2: But Caesar refuses to die of fright.

Caesar: (Proudly) Cowards die many times before their deaths. The valiant never taste of death but once.

Calpurnia: (Kneeling) Alas, my lord. Do not go forth today. We'll send Mark Antony to the Senate House, and he shall say you are not well today.

Caesar: (Giving in to her plea easily) For thy humor I will stay at home. (He sees Decius enter.) Here's De­cius Brutus. He shall tell them so.

Decius: (Full of hearty smiles) Caesar, all hail! I come to fetch you to the Senate House.

Caesar: Bear my greeting to the senators, and tell them that I will not come today. (Calpurnia rises.)

Decius: (Smoothly covering his surprise) Most mighty Caesar, let me know some cause, lest I be laughed at when I tell them so.

Caesar: (Stiffly, rather embarrassed) Calpurnia here, my wife, stays me at home. She dreamt tonight she saw my statue, which with an hundred spouts did run pure blood. And many Romans came smiling and did bathe their hands in it. (His wife nods, anx­iously.)

Why does Caesar tell Decius he will not go to the Senate?

Caesar explains that Calpurnia is frightened and does not want him to go.

Dear Mrs. Cowell,

I hope you’re enjoying good health in Charleston. I’m writing to tell you about a strange thing that I saw last night from my window. As your neighbor, it’s my duty to tell you. Last night, I was at the movies with Mr. Finch. When we came back (at about 10:15 p.m.) I saw a car parked in your driveway. When I looked out the window an hour later, the car was gone. I told Mr. Finch that your family is out of town, and there is no one in your house. We thought of calling the police. But Mr. Finch suggested that I write to you first. Perhaps you let one of your friends use the house while you were out of town? Please let me know.

In the snapping turlte 5. What actions does the narrator take to make sure that he fishes responsibly?

Answers

Answer:

He made sure that he caught fish that were only of a certain length and that he treated animals carefully and almost respectfully with consideration for their ability to procreate.

Explanation:

Snapping Turtle is a short story about a young boy who was (thanks to his grandpa and grandma) wiser than his age. One of his hobbies was fishing.

We can see in lines from lines 86 to 90 that, according to his grandpa's instructions,

1. he never kept a trout that was shorter than seven inches. If they were shorter than 7 inches, he put them back into the water;

2. he made sure never to hold a trout with a dry hand to prevent the fish from becoming susceptible to infection.

Then we also see in lines 320 to 334 that he chooses to, upon his grandpa's advice, release the snapping turtle back into the water because it probably was getting ready to law eggs.

Cheers!

Explanation:

We discover that Poseidon abhors Odysseus and that Athene is attempting to assist him with getting Kalypso's island, where he's trapped.  

Then, back in Ithaka, everybody believes he's dead.  

At long last, following seven years, Zeus sends down Hermes to advise Kalypso to release Odysseus; he sets out on a pontoon, which Poseidon quickly wrecks.  

He advances toward shore, where he's found by the princess Nausikaa. She carries him to court, where he asks leniency of the sovereign and is invited.  

Lord Alkinoös announces the following day a festal day in Odysseus' honor, and Odysseus begins sobbing when he hears the versifier singing about Troy.  

Thus, he dispatches into the longest evening gathering story ever:  

In the wake of leaving from Troy, Odysseus and his team land in the city of Ismaros and attack it without any justifiable cause. The following day, individuals fight back with a late-showing up rangers and kill a large number of Odysseus' men.  

Odysseus and his men endure three days of extreme tempests.  

After ten days, they land on the island of the Lotus Eaters. Odysseus investigates the land with an exploring party. At the point when he finds that they lose their memory and all their will to return home subsequent to eating the lotus bloom, he compels them all back to the boat as quick as possible and sails away.  

They next show up at the place that is known for the Cyclopes, goliaths with just one eye, where Odysseus commits the error of not getting out as fast as possible. There's an entire bundle of craftiness, however Odysseus and (the greater part) of his men escape—yet not without genuinely ticking off the currently visually impaired Cyclops Polyphemos.  

At the point when Polyphemos learns Odysseus' genuine name, he requests that Poseidon revile him. For eternity. Poseidon obliges.  

There are more misfortunes: winds pass them over course, the men transform into pigs, they visit the hidden world, pass Skylla and Charybdis, and afterward commit their most noticeably awful and last error of eating the sun god Helios' holy cows.  

At the point when they next sail, Zeus hits them down with a thunderclap, obliterating Odysseus' boat and slaughtering everybody except our legend.  

In the wake of getting away from Skylla and Charybdis briefly time, Odysseus floats for nine days until he washes shorewards on Kalypso's island.  

There he is lured and caught for a very long time by the enchanted fairy Kalypso, despite the fact that he decides not to go into subtleties and finishes his story.  

The Phaiakians are so moved by Odysseus' story that they offer his protected section home.  

At the point when Odysseus awakens in Ithaka, Athene uncovers herself to him and they make arrangements to overcome the admirers.  

Odysseus, dressed as a hobo, goes to the timberland home of his swineherd Eumaios and accidents on his love seat.  

Right away thereafter, Telemachos appears. Odysseus uncovers his actual personality to his child and together they intend to overcome the warriors.  

Odysseus comes to town camouflaged as a bum and, indeed, asks in the incredible lobby, his own home, to discover which admirers are shrewd and which are pleasant.  

A large portion of them are wicked.  

He additionally susses out the workers, and enrolls some to help him battle.  

Odysseus, actually camouflaged as a hobo, wins Penelope's challenge by hanging his own monstrous bow and shooting a bolt through the twelve hatchet heads.  

He and Telemachos, alongside the faithful herders, execute every one of the admirers in the extraordinary corridor.  

A while later, Odysseus powers every one of the unfaithful house keepers to tidy up the butcher and afterward has them murdered also. Best to not leave any free, deceptive finishes.  

Odysseus wins back Penelope by uncovering their "secret" to her—the way that their bed is cut from the foundations of an olive tree and is in this way undaunted.  

The rejoined couple goes through the night together.  

The following day, Odysseus visits his dad Laertes and uncovers himself to him. It's all exceptionally contacting, until a gathering of Ithaka rebels appears; they need retribution for their killed children (the admirers).  

They battle until Athene makes them stop.  

In the end, individuals and Odysseus structure a settlement. Reestablished to his majesty, Odysseus carries harmony to Ithaka again.

Answer:

Odysseus vists Teiresias in the Underworld. Odysseus narrates his adventures to Phaeacians.
