Answers

The definition of peculiar is odd and strange. In this sentence, it doesn't make sense to use peculiar in it because since it is a school day, there shouldn't be children on the streets because they would be in school. So it wouldn't be odd for Denise not to see children when she is driving to work because it is a school day and they are in school.

The peculiar is characteristic of only one person, group, or thing.

What is the meaning of peculiar?

The peculiar doesn't make any sense because since it is a school day, there shouldn't be children on the streets.

They would be in school.

That is why it wouldn't be odd for Denise not to see children when she is driving to work.

Annabel Lee by Edgar Allab Poe (summary interpretation)

Text and Annotations

It was many and many a year ago, In a kingdom by the sea, That a maiden there lived whom you may know By the name of ANNABEL LEE; 5 And this maiden she lived with no other thought Than to love and be loved by me.

Tell me what the symbolism here.

Answers

Answer:

I'm not entirely sure- but you could say that the symbolism was saying that she "lived with no other thought then to love and be loved by me". I'm sure they loved each other a lot but she didn't literally have no other thought. I suppose that's more exaggeration but it can work for symbolism too I think?

Explanation:

sorry if it's wrong.

HEY THERE!

THE SYMBOLISM (I somehow found it on GoogIe) is "Annabel Lee" because she is a symbol of Edgar Allan Poe's dead wife, Virginia Poe. The sea wind gives "Annabel" a chill that kills her. SO, you could put "The symbolism is Annabel Lee which represents Edgar Allan Poe's dead wife, Virginia Poe."

Science Mysteries: How Many Species Are There? You might think that after 200 years, the scientists who find, name, and describe Earth's species would be close to finished. But taxonomists, as organized as they may be, have no idea how many species Earth has. Nor can they even provide an educated guess. Although reporting over 16,000 new species every year, taxonomists still cannot predict how many more are undiscovered. In total, taxonomists have categorized and listed 1.2 million species on Earth. At this point, you would think scientists should be able to use the information they have gathered to make good predictions about how many species an ecosystem can support. This would help them make better predictions about how many species are left to identify. So far, however, the guesses seem to vary so greatly that it seems there is no good theory for making a prediction. One of the main problems is that most of the places that seem to have a lot of diverse species are in places that are hard to get to. One such place is the ocean, where scientists believe some 80 percent of Earth's creatures are hiding at depths too deep for us to study. In addition, many of the planet's most diverse areas are in remote places with few taxonomists. Despite all the unknowns, scientists have agreed that there are between five and 15 million species left to discover on Earth. This is a huge range, but whether it's five or 15, taxonomists clearly still have a lot of work to do. And who knows, there may yet be a dragon or a Loch Ness monster left to discover.

Read the following passage from The Penelopiad:
“No sooner had Odysseus returned than he left again. He said that, much as he hated to tear himself away from me, he’d have to go adventuring again. He’d been told by the spirit of the seer Teiresias that he would have to purify himself by carrying an oar so far inland that the people there would mistake it for a winnowing fan. Only in that way could he rinse the blood of the Suitors from himself, avoid their vengeful ghosts and their vengeful relatives, and pacify the anger of the sea-god Poseidon, who was still furious with him for blinding his son the Cyclops.

It was a likely story. But then, all of his stories were likely.”

C. Americans were afraid that this would lead to a declaration of independence of slaves.

d. Americans did not know about the Haitians declaration of independence.

Answers

Answer:

C. Americans were afraid that this would lead to a declaration of independence of slaves.

Explanation:

Americans, including President Jefferson, unable to treat Haitians as "brave and courageous human beings" because "Americans were afraid that this would lead to a declaration of independence of slaves."

This is evident in the fact that during this period, there are clamor and tensions for the emancipation of slaves, including the white abolitionist championing for the cause and freedom of slaves in the United States.

It is then believed acknowledging Haitians as brave and courageous could lead to the spread of slave revolts, that is "declaration of independence of slaves" in America which will definitely affect the social order in the country.
