Explanation:

​By the double crest of my fowl, and by the rose lining of my sweetheart's slipper! By all the horns of well-beloved cuckolds, and by the virtue of their blessed wives! the finest work of man is neither poetry, nor painted pictures, nor music, nor castles, nor statues, be they carved never so well, nor rowing, nor sailing galleys, but children. Understand me, children up to the age of ten years, for after that they become men or women, and cutting their wisdom teeth, are not worth what they cost; the worst are the best. Watch them playing, prettily and innocently, with slippers; above all, cancellated ones, with the household utensils, leaving that which displeases them, crying after that which pleases them, munching the sweets and confectionery in the house, nibbling at the stores, and always laughing as soon as their teeth are cut, and you will agree with me that they are in every way lovable; besides which they are flower and fruit--the fruit of love, the flower of life. Before their minds have been unsettled by the disturbances of life, there is nothing in this world more blessed or more pleasant than their sayings, which are naive beyond description. This is as true as the double chewing machine of a cow. Do not expect a man to be innocent after the manner of children, because there is an, I know not what, ingredient of reason in the naivety of a man, while the naivety of children is candid, immaculate, and has all the finesse of the mother, which is plainly proved in this tale. Queen Catherine was at that time Dauphine, and to make herself welcome to the king, her father-in-law, who at that time was very ill indeed, presented him, from time to time, with Italian pictures, knowing that he liked them much, being a friend of the Sieur Raphael d'Urbin and of the Sieurs Primatice and Leonardo da Vinci, to whom he sent large sums of money. She obtained from her family--who had the pick of these works, because at that time the Duke of the Medicis governed Tuscany-- a precious picture, painted by a Venetian named Titian (artist to the Emperor Charles, and in very high flavour), in which there were portraits of Adam and Eve at the moment when God left them to wander about the terrestrial Paradise, and were painted their full height, in the costume of the period, in which it is difficult to make a mistake, because they were attired in their ignorance, and caparisoned with the divine grace which enveloped them--a difficult thing to execute on account of the colour, but one in which the said Sieur Titian excelled. The picture was put into the room of the poor king, who was then ill with the disease of which he eventually died. It had a great success at the Court of France, where everyone wished to see it; but no one was able to until after the king's death, since at his desire it was allowed to remain in his room as long as he lived. One day Madame Catherine took with her to the king's room her son Francis and little Margot, who began to talk at random, as children will. Now here, now there, these children had heard this picture of Adam and Eve spoken about, and had tormented their mother to take them there. Since the two little ones at times amused the old king, Madame the Dauphine consented to their request. "You wished to see Adam and Eve, who were our first parents; there they are," said she. Then she left them in great astonishment before Titian's picture, and seated herself by the bedside of the king, who delighted to watch the children. "Which of the two is Adam?" said Francis, nudging his sister Margot's elbow. "You silly!" replied she, "to know that, they would have to be dressed!" This reply, which delighted the poor king and the mother, was mentioned in a letter written in Florence by Queen Catherine. No writer having brought it to light, it will remain, like a sweet flower, in a corner of these Tales, although it is no way droll, and there is no other moral to be drawn from it except that to hear these pretty speeches of infancy one must beget the children

"The Tyger" by William Blake Tyger Tyger, burning bright, In the forests of the night; What immortal hand or eye, Could frame thy fearful symmetry? In what distant deeps or skies Burnt the fire of thine eyes! On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand, dare seize the fire? And what shoulder, & what art, Could twist the sinews of thy heart? And when thy heart began to beat, What dread hand? & what dread feet? What the hammer? what the chain, In what furnace was thy brain? What the anvil? what dread grasp, Dare its deadly terrors clasp? When the stars threw down their spears And water’d heaven with their tears: Did he smile his work to see? Did he who made the Lamb make thee? Tyger, Tyger burning bright, In the forests of the night: What immortal hand or eye, Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

In "The Tyger," what conclusion can be drawn about the tiger’s creator?



Answers

Answer:

powerful and fearless entity.

Explanation:

In the poem "The Tyger," William Blake portrays the tiger’s creator as a powerful and fearless entity. This can be ascertained from the fact that the poet claims the tiger as a fearsome animal with strong jaws and strength, however, the one who made it must be more powerful and dreadful than the tiger itself.

Blake says this because everyone fears the tiger's deadly terrors so one can only imagine what the creator of the tiger would be like. He/she would be really fearless and powerful to have the courage to create such an animal, in fact, an immortal being.

Rewrite the sentence so that the adjectives change into adverbs
1. She is a good dancer.
2.They spoke in soft voices.
3.It was a heavy rain.
4.The hungry man asked for food.
5.The angry dog barked.​

Answers

Answer:

1. She dances well.

2.They spoke softly.

3. It rained heavily.

4. The man asked for food hungrily.

5. The dog barked angrily.

Explanation:

Adjectives give us more information about nouns, their characteristics, qualities, possessions etc.

In similar way, adverbs give us more details about verbs; they describe an action, how long it lasted, how it was performed etc.

We can transform an adjective to an adverb by adding the suffix -ly (soft - softly). In some cases, a spelling change will occur (heavy - heavily, angry - angrily).

However, some adjectives are irregular and do not follow this rule (good - well).

Select the correct verb. Then, find the direct object. If there is no direct object, select none.

Answers

Answer:

A reader can best combine the information in the excerpts to understand that the desire of President Kennedy to put a man on the moon was influenced by the "space race" with the Soviet Union.

Explanation:

In the first excerpt, the article mentions how President Kenney felt pressured to be on par with the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union had already put a man in space, leading to a "space race". The second article also deals with how President Kenney made a challenge "to put a man on the moon before the decade is out."

These two articles have the same context which is, the need and desire of President Kennedy to compete with the Soviet Union in a "space race".  This shows that he was inspired by the Soviet Union to put a man in space.

Answer:

understand that President Kennedy's desire to put a man on the moon was inspired by a "space race" with the Soviet Union.

According to the information from both excerpts, president John F. Kennedy's main motivation to put a man to the moon was the fierce space race that the United States had with communist Soviet Union. In that respect, the Soviet Union was already ahead, since it had been the first to send a man in space - Yuri Gagarin.
