In the last sentence of the passage, the author uses the parenthetical clause “though hope should always be deluded” primarily to
A. convince the audience that the pursuit of happiness is futile

B. assert that hope is important regardless of whether it comes to fruition

C. discourage the audience from indulging in unreasonable expectations

D. highlight the positive and negative aspects of hope

E. imply that the value of hope depends on its close connection with delusion

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

B. assert that hope is important regardless of whether it comes to fruition

Explanation:

Answer B

Correct. In the last sentence of the passage, the author’s main claim is that it is “necessary to hope” because “hope itself is happiness.” He uses the parenthetical clause “though (even if) hope should always be deluded (frustrated)” to argue that even in the extreme case in which hopes never come to fruition, hope is nevertheless important—not only for its capacity to bring happiness, but because the disappointment that results from frustrated hope is “less dreadful than [hope’s] extinction.”

Answer 2

Answer:

B

Explanation:

assert that hope is important regardless of whether it comes to fruition

What does the excerpt tell readers about racial prejudice in early 20th-century America?  

A. Racial prejudice had negative psychological effects on those who discriminated against others.

B. Racial prejudice had negative psychological effects on those who suffered its injustices.

C. People who experienced racial prejudice did not show evidence of any psychological effects.

D. People who experienced racial prejudice were fully aware of how they were affected psychologically.

Answer:

What the excerpt says is that:

B. Racial prejudice had negative psychological effects on those who suffered its injustices.

Explanation:

The speaker in the excerpt is talking of someone who is both black and beautiful. However, that person does not understand his own beauty. He has suffered so much injustice, prejudice, and discrimination because of his skin color that he is not able to see his own appearance as beautiful. That is a dire effect of suffering racial discrimination: being led to believe oneself to be ugly. Clearly, racial prejudice has negative psychological effects on those who suffer it, and that is, unfortunately, something that still occurs today.

none of these

Answers

Answer: to describe the disposition of the person the statue portrays

Explanation:

These are lines from the poem, ''Ozymandias'' by Percy Bysshe Shelley which speaks of a statue of Ozymandias that has now fallen with the two legs being the only remaining standing feature and the head next to them, half buried in sand.

The lines above relate to the features and expression on the face of the statue and serve to describe the disposition of Ozymandias who, judging by the statue, have a commanding expression about him.

Answers

Answer:

1. If I had known, I'd have done things differently.

2. If I could be any animal, I'd be a giraffe.

3. I'd go to the police if someone stole my car.

4. If he is on time, I'll eat my hat.

5. If I get the promotion, I'll have a celebration.

6. What would you do if you'd won a million euros?

7. If you don't clean your room right now, I'll have you grounded for a week.

8. If I have some free time tonight, I'll go for a walk.

9. If I had missed my bus this morning, I'd not have met that nice guy.

10. I'll go shopping tomorrow if I have time.

Explanation:

In the given sentences, the changes needed are on the tenses if the different forms of the verb required. Such changes depend again on the nature of the sentences individually.

The sentences after the necessary changes are as follows-

1. If I had known, I'd have done things differently.

Here, "had known" is a perfect tense, therefore the use of "had done/'d done".

2. If I could be any animal, I'd be a giraffe.

Using "I'd be" for the "could be".

3. I'd go to the police if someone stole my car.

This sentence presents an assumption, so we use "I'd go".

4. If he is on time, I'll eat my hat.

Here, the first part of the sentence is in the present tense so we use the future tense "will" to talk of the next sentence.

5. If I get the promotion, I'll have a celebration.

Same as sentence 4.

6. What would you do if you'd won a million euros?

Here, the sentence is talking about a conditional mood of winning money. So, we use changed the verb accordingly.

7. If you don't clean your room right now, I'll have you grounded for a week.

The first part is in the present tense, and so the next part presents a future possible scenario/ consequence.

8. If I have some free time tonight, I'll go for a walk.

Same as sentence 7.

9. If I had missed my bus this morning, I'd not have met that nice guy.

Here, the first part of the sentence talks of a past event in the perfect tense form. So the next part of the sentence is also in its perfect tense form but in the negative form.

10. I'll go shopping tomorrow if I have time.

Same as sentence 7.

I'm not really sure if my words make sense to you
But I can't really find
Any other way to form these feelings into cubes
And sort them in my mind

The negative thoughts go on the left
And the happy things on the right
And there's a little corner saved just for you

Please let me know if you change your mind
Cause inside I'm falling
And I need you to pull me out of this decline
I realise how hard on you this must seem
But trust me
When I say its far, far worse for me

Please, please be here for me dear
Cause I've never needed a friend more
And I cant stress enough how much it means to me that you're trying
And I don't mind if you can't hold me like you used to
Cause I've never hated myself more
But this is just a bump in the road and I promise I'm trying

Give me a moment to get my cards in line
Cause I'm still trying to figure out
In what kind of order I should set them out
If there was a way to explain everything without a word
I'd have a full house right now without a doubt

I'm trying to tear the wool from your eyes
But a part of me wants to let you be
Cause then you wouldn't see what I've become
I'm trying to shout but no sound comes out
It's like we're in a dream state
But I should've woken up, woken up by now

Please, please be here for me dear
Cause I've never needed a friend more
And I cant stress enough how much it means to me that you're trying
And I don't mind if you can't hold me like you used to
Cause I've never hated myself more
