A Story that illustrates the
Saying a good name is better than
gold and silver".​

Answers

Answer 1
Someone asked Bill Gates ( the richest man in the world at the time), ” is there someone richer than you? ”

Gates said : ” Yes, there is. ” And he went on to tell this story:

One day I was waiting on my flight, then I went to buy a newspaper to this guy who was selling them, after I grabbed the newspaper, I looked for a change in my wallet, I couldn’t find it. Then the guy said to me, it’s okay you can take it.

Couple months later, Gates flew into that same airport and when he went to buy a newspaper, the same guy was selling them and the same thing happened. After he grabbed the newspaper, he couldn’t find any change in his wallet. Then the guy told him, it’s okay you can take it. Gates said no no, not again, you gave it to me last time for free, I can’t take it again. The guy replied, yes you can take it, I’ll deduct it from my profit, it’s not a loss to me, just take it. And Gates went on his way.

Couple years later, after Bill Gates became who he is now, with the fame and all the money in the world, he remembered this newspaper guy. He tracked him down, and after a month and half, he found the guy, and he asked him:

Gates : do you know who I am?

News paper guy : yes I do, you are Bill Gates.

Gates : do you remember me, giving me newspapers for free?

News paper guy : yes I do.

Gates: I want to repay for what you did for me back then. Name something that you want and I’ll fulfill it.

News paper guy : no, I cant.

Gates : why?

News paper guy : it’s not the same.

Gates : how do you mean?

News paper guy : when I helped you, I didn’t have anything. Yet I did. You want to repay me now, when you have everything! It’s not the same.

That’s when Bill Gates knew it’s far more great to have a rich heart than a lot of money. Here is to that!

Which element of the romantic movement is present in this excerpt from the "The Solitary Reaper" by William Wordsworth? Will no one tell me what she sings?-- Perhaps the plaintive numbers flow For old, unhappy, far-off things, And battles long ago: Or is it some more humble lay, Familiar matter of to-day? Some natural sorrow, loss, or pain, That has been, and may be again? Whate'er the theme, the Maiden sang As if her song could have no ending; I saw her singing at her work, And o'er the sickle bending;-- I listened, motionless and still; And, as I mounted up the hill, The music in my heart I bore, Long after it was heard no more.

Answer:

d. The poem explores the inner world of an individual.

Explanation:

One of the most striking features of the romantic movement in literature was individualism, where the authors explored the personal and intimate issues of the characters, showing their inner world and all the sentimentality they carried. It is possible to see this characteristic in the poem above, where the poet explores the intimate and profound sensations that the speaker presents when he is exposed to several different stimuli, but which are able to touch his soul in a very emotional way.

it's D. The poem explores the inner world of an individual.

Excerpt from the Peerless four

Answers

The answer of the question is D.

The League, like Local 25, had expected a turnout of four or five thousand. They were bowled over by this army, utterly unprepared for it. They had organized strikes in the garment trade, small ones, usually confined to a single shop, but never before had they undertaken something on so vast a scale. They might fail, might be laughed at by the whole of New York as well as John Dyche and the ILGWU men, and all the same they knew this was the challenge they'd been hoping for — their chance to show the world they were more than highbrow butters-in, just as the shirtwaist makers were more than irresponsible little girls.

What conclusion can be drawn by connecting knowledge of the historical time period with information in the text?

Answers

Answer:

3. By providing an organizational structure for working women, the Women’s Trade Union League gained enough strength in numbers to have some power.

Explanation:

Joan Dash's "We Shall Not Be Moved," tells the dramatic story of how the women's union led a massive strike in the history of America. The story of women workers protesting and organizing strikes, women activists working towards ensuring better and equal opportunities to their female counterparts became one of the most important events in labor history.

In the given passage, the narrator recounts how women trade union "organized strikes" that were big, bringing a turnout of "[an] army" totally unexpected by the League. The strike was to show the men or the government as a whole that "they were more than highbrow butters-in, just as the shirtwaist makers were more than irresponsible little girls."

This detail gives the conclusion that the organizational structure of the working women shows how the Women's Trade Union League managed to gain enough strength in numbers to assert their ability and power.

Thus, the correct answer is option 3.

Answer:

C.     By providing an organizational structure for working women, the Women’s Trade Union League gained enough strength in numbers to have some power.

Answers

Answer and explanation:

“The Street That Got Mislaid” written by Patrick Waddington is a short story that tells us about Marc Girondin, a city clerk that worked in a planning section at the city hall of Montreal. He was known by people for having a precise map of all the streets in town in his head. He was a peaceful man, minding his own business. One day he discovered a misplaced card of a street called Green Bottle street. It has been more than fifteen years since data about it has been updated. Now he was in dilemma should he notify his boss about it. But, first, he decided to go and visit the street. He found the place easily, on the way in, there was a wooden statue that contained the door. When he entered the street, cobble pavement, neat houses, and lovely gardens with flowers made him feel like he entered a fairytale. Girondin started a conversation with one of the tenants, madam Trusdale, who told him about the previous owner, who decided to bestow them all the houses once he`s dead, and how they were paying taxes until they realized that the town had forgotten about them. Madam Trusdale also told him about a little bit about each one of the tenants and how peacefully they were living. So, Marc Girondin finally asked what was in his mind all the time - to become a part of this little community and move in. As a sign that was his real intention, he tore up the card of the Green Bottle Street, which enabled living anonymously in this little piece of heaven for an unlimited amount of time.

Answers

Let's just structure the excerpt a bit better. I was able to find it online:

I know I’m not an ordinary ten-year-old kid. I mean,  sure, I do ordinary things. I eat ice cream. I ride my bike.  I play ball. I have an XBox. Stuff like that makes me  ordinary. I guess. And I feel ordinary. Inside. But I know  ordinary kids don’t make other ordinary kids run away  screaming in playgrounds. I know ordinary kids don’t get  stared at wherever they go.

Answer:

The excerpt is in the first-person perspective.

Explanation:

A first-person narrator uses first-person pronouns such as "I" and "me" and gives us his / her own perspective on things. The reader, therefore, only receives the information known and offered by the narrator. That means everything we get to know is biased, since it comes permeated by the narrator's feelings and opinions. Notice that the excerpt we are analyzing here uses first-person pronouns. This narrator is describing him/herself. We get a glimpse of the way he/she feels - "And I feel ordinary. Inside" - and thinks.
