Answers

Answer 1

Answer: B  A mother's conversation with her son reveals that an  overdependence on technology suppresses creative  thought.

Explanation:

The Machine Stops is about a future where human beings were now totally reliant on a Machine to take care of all their needs as they simply relax and talk to each other through screens about ideas.

The story follows Vashti and her son Kuno. Kuno insists that she visit him which she does not want to but eventually agrees to. When she does he tells her of the surface and how the machine is not all it seems. She eventually leaves and years later the machine stopped working.

Throughout the story we see that an overdependece on technology supresses creative thought because with humans so reliant on the machine, there is no need to think for themselves. It was so bad that in one instance a man did not know how to pick up a book that had fallen from his hand because he was out of his rooms where the machine would have picked it for him.

Which phrase gives the most helpful clue to the meaning of compensate?

Ran at a fast pace
Trail was flat
When it started
Going much slower

Answers

Answer:

D. Going much slower

Explanation:

I know that compensate means to counteract something. "Going much slower" is the best answer to figure out what compensate is because it starts off saying that they ran fast but now they're going a lot slower. This tells you that they had to change their speed by going much slower.

Explanation:

Why does Dee feel her name is oppressive? Does the story seem to
suggest that changing your name changes who you are? Why or why not? Please helpp!!!!

Answers

Answer and explanation:

Everyday Use is a short story written by Alice Walker.  

The three main characters are Mama, Dee, and Maggie. Mama and Maggie are simple women, uneducated, bonded to tradition, hardworking, and happy with what they have. Dee, unlike them, felt the need to escape her origin. The first sign was when the fire caught the house they were living in, Mama saw in her eyes how much she hate it. When she was just a teenage girl, she paid attention to being stylish. Mama and the church collected money so that she can go to college. College brought an even bigger desire for a change, so she changed her name from Dee to Wangero, as she considered Dee being a slave name, though she got it from her aunt and the name was passed for generations. The story does not suggest that changing your name changes who you are. It suggests that though you can climb up the social ladder through education, good taste for clothes, etc, it is not always the answer in that. Dee always differed, with her lighter skin, self-confidence, beauty, and all, but she did not evolve as a person in a sense of kindness and understanding. She wants the quilts, so she can hang them on the wall and upgrade her new Wangero identity, while Maggie wants them, so she can continue the tradition of embroidery. She did not use the new pieces of knowledge she got to help Mama and Maggie to improve themselves, but to show them how she is above them. So, while Dee runs from her true identity and origin, she runs from her being a good daughter and sister and a kind human, as education does not provide that.

The French army stayed behind in Egypt—and so did the scholars. In late August, shortly after Napoleon's departure, a large, heavy package arrived at the scholars' palace in Cairo. When they opened it, they found it contained a black stone slab covered with writing in three different scripts. A note from a French army officer accompanied the package. He told the scholars that the stone had been unearthed in an old fort near the town of Rosetta, thirty-five miles north of Alexandria. French soldiers were tearing down a ruined wall in the fort when they came upon the slab. Which statement accurately describes a cause-and-effect relationship described in this excerpt?

Answers

Queen Elizabeth relies on logos by providing reasons why Parliament should not worry about the fact that she is unmarried and childless. (option C)

What is logos?

Logos is a persuasive technique in which the speaker appeals to logic and reasoning in order to convince the audience of something. This is the technique employed by Queen Elizabeth in the excerpt we are analyzing here.

The reasoning behind her words is that her not being married and not having children does not mean England's throne will be left without an heir. Besides that, she also argues that, if she did have a child, he or she might very well grow up to be someone unworthy of the throne.

With the information above in mind, we can select option C as the correct answer.
