In the opening sentences of the passage ("Now I know... color of my hair!"), the author refers to Alice Walker primarily to
A
impress her audience with the breadth of her literary knowledge
B
flaunt her access to privileged information about the planning of the commencement ceremony
С
congratulate her audience for inviting her instead of a lesser-known speaker
D
acknowledge the potentially embarrassing circumstances under which she is delivering her speech
E
suggest that she pays more attention to her personal appearance than do other celebrities

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Explanation:

It's awkward that their first choice was Alice Walker and that she got chosen instead because Walker declined. Many students protested her speaking and the comedic relief at the beginning and the acknowledgement of the circumstances was necessary to potentially get the students to listen to her.

The sentence that best describes a theme of the  poem is:

B Nothing in life is permanent.

According to the given poem, the poet talks about his inability to understand the realities of life and questions God to help him because life for him is nothing more than a dream.

He further contemplates if life itself is nothing but an illusion where nothing is real, where even if he wakes up, he realizes he was dreaming within a dream.

The poet uses different literary techniques to show the futility od life and his struggles, by showing the speaker trying to hold on to sand, but it slips through his fingers to show the hopelessness and futility of life.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B.

We must do something to help the bee population win the battle against a colony collapse or the world faces horrendous consequences. Bees are important to our food chain. The loss of bees would mean the extinction of food as we know it. Choose the denotation for each of these words. horrendous

Answers

Answer:

Horrendous - extremely unpleasant, horrifying, or terrible

Explanation:

Looking at the information here, it can be interpreted that the world could face extremely unpleasant consequences should we not do something to help the population of the bees that are already being threatened by the collapse of their colony.  

These flying insects are very important to us because they form part of our food chain. When they die, it means we may likely face the loss of food and that would be something very unpleasant.

Read this excerpt from Little Brother and answer the following questions in complete sentences using proper grammar and punctuation:

Marcus manages to flag down a vehicle and they get more than they bargained for...

It was a military-looking Jeep, like an armored Hummer, only it didn't have any military insignia on it. The car skidded to a stop just in front of me, and I jumped back and lost my balance and ended up on the road. I felt the doors open near me, and then saw a confusion of booted feet moving close by. I looked up and saw a bunch of military-looking guys in coveralls, holding big, bulky rifles and wearing hooded gas masks with tinted face-plates.

I barely had time to register them before those rifles were pointed at me. I'd never looked down the barrel of a gun before, but everything you've heard about the experience is true. You freeze where you are, time stops, and your heart thunders in your ears. I opened my mouth, then shut it, then, very slowly, I held my hands up in front of me.

The faceless, eyeless armed man above me kept his gun very level. I didn't even breathe. Van was screaming something and Jolu was shouting and I looked at them for a second and that was when someone put a coarse sack over my head and cinched it tight around my windpipe, so quick and so fiercely I barely had time to gasp before it was locked on me. I was pushed roughly but dispassionately onto my stomach and something went twice around my wrists and then tightened up as well, feeling like baling wire and biting cruelly. I cried out and my own voice was muffled by the hood.

I was in total darkness now and I strained my ears to hear what was going on with my friends. I heard them shouting through the muffling canvas of the bag, and then I was being impersonally hauled to my feet by my wrists, my arms wrenched up behind my back, my shoulders screaming.

I stumbled some, then a hand pushed my head down and I was inside the Hummer. More bodies were roughly shoved in beside me.

"Guys?" I shouted, and earned a hard thump on my head for my trouble. I heard Jolu respond, then felt the thump he was dealt, too. My head rang like a gong.

"Hey," I said to the soldiers. "Hey, listen! We're just high school students. I wanted to flag you down because my friend was bleeding. Someone stabbed him." I had no idea how much of this was making it through the muffling bag. I kept talking. "Listen—this is some kind of misunderstanding. We've got to get my friend to a hospital—"

Someone went upside my head again. It felt like they used a baton or something—it was harder than anyone had ever hit me in the head before. My eyes swam and watered and I literally couldn't breathe through the pain. A moment later, I caught my breath, but I didn't say anything. I'd learned my lesson.

In three to five sentences, explain Marcus' current stage of identity development. Use examples from the text. As a reminder, the different stages of identity development are: (20 points)

Identity Diffusion occurs when an adolescent does not make a commitment to any particular roles, values, or goals.
Identity Foreclosure occurs when someone makes a commitment without considering other possibilities.
Identity Moratorium occurs when an individual is in the midst of a crisis over a particular role or value and tries out alternatives in order to make a commitment.
Identity Achievement occurs when someone makes a personal decision or commitment after going through a crisis and exploring his or her options.

Answers

Answer:     Identity Moratorium because the narrator has been kidnapped and at first he called out to  his friends for help, not knowing they had been kidnapped as well. When he was pushed into the car, he again tried to call to his friends, but was silenced. Then, he tried talking to his captors, thinking this was all a big misunderstanding. (I wanna read this book! It sounds interesting. What's it called? Also, I hope this helps!)
