Read the excerpt from "Harrison Bergeron."

The musicians scrambled back into their chairs, and Harrison stripped them of their handicaps, too. “Play your best,” he told them, “and I’ll make you barons and dukes and earls.”

The music began. It was normal at first—cheap, silly, false. But Harrison snatched two musicians from their chairs, waved them like batons as he sang the music as he wanted it played. He slammed them back into their chairs.

In this excerpt from a story, the author uses imagery to create a vivid sense of the food at a party.
Which part of the story supports this analysis of the imagery?

Suzannah grinned and observed that the pastry tasted like coconut, then she consumed the remainder of her treat with gusto. Renuka's mom flashed a pleased smile. "I'm glad you girls like it," she said. You're correct about the coconut, which is part of the filling in these little dumplings. Now, let's try the sandesh, which is very sweet." Everyone took one of the desserts, which were topped with fruit. "Mmmml" exclaimed Elizabeth. 'These melt in your mouth." Later when everyone headed home, Suzannah and Elizabeth both hugged Renuka. Thanks so much for inviting us," said Elizabeth. "Yes, said Suzannah; "it was so much fun trying new foods, and I loved everything! As she returned to her condominium, a big smile illuminated Renuka's face. Her mother had been absolutely right to insist she invite her friends, and how wonderful that they'd had such an enjoyable time!

1. "I'm glad you girls like it," she said.

2. "Mmmm!" exclaimed Elizabeth. 'These melt in your mouth."

3. "Yes, said Suzannah; "it was so much fun trying new foods, and I loved everything!

4. Her mother had been absolutely right to insist she invite her friends, and how wonderful that they'd had such an enjoyable time!​

Answers

Answer:

I believe the answer is 2. "Mmmm!" exclaimed Elizabeth. 'These melt in your mouth.'

Explanation:

I believe this is the answer because answers 1, 3 and 4 don't provide any sense of imagery and answer 2 provides a sense of taste and we could 'imagine' the food melting in our own mouth.

As I walk along the stony shore of the pond
in my shirt-sleeves, though it is cool as well
as cloudy and windy, and I see nothing
special to attract me, all the elements are
unusually congenial to me. The bullfrogs
trump to usher in the night, and the note
of the whip-poor-will is borne on the
rippling wind from over the water.
Sympathy with the fluttering alder and
poplar leaves almost takes away my
breath; yet, like the lake, my se
serenity is
rippled but not ruffled. These small waves
raised by the evening wind are as remote
from storm as the smooth reflecting
surface.
Consider the natural imagery in this passage.
Thoreau includes the image of the gently rippling
lake to
o describe his sense of serenity and
demonstrate that he feels connected to the
natural world
o show that a storm is coming and explain his
uneasiness about the storm.
o prove that he made the right choice in leaving
society to live in the woods alone.
o imply that the natural world is violent and
unpredictable, despite its gentle appearance,

In about 100 words, explain how the use of flashback adds meaning to “Rules of the Game.” Be sure to use details from the story to support your answer.

Answers

Answer:

A flashback is a moment when a character remembers and describes an event or events that happened in the past. This literary device helps to give background information about characters in the story; it also shows how a past event may have affected a character. The flashback technique aids characterization, plot development, and creation of conflict in a story.

In “Rules of the Game,” the narrator, Waverly Jong, relates the entire story using the flashback technique. In the excerpt below, the narrator takes the reader back in time to describe the place where she lived in San Francisco:

We lived on Waverly Place, in a warm, clean, two-bedroom flat that sat above a small Chinese bakery specializing in steamed pastries and dim sum. In the early morning, when the alley was still quiet, I could smell fragrant red beans as they were cooked down to a pasty sweetness. By daybreak, our flat was heavy with the odor of fried sesame balls and sweet curried chicken crescents. From my bed, I would listen as my father got ready for work, then locked the door behind him, one-two-three clicks.

The use of sensory details gives a very clear picture of the narrator’s home and surroundings. This excerpt shows how the flashback technique helps to provide readers with background information.

Explanation:

Answer:

This American rules,” she concluded at last. “Every time people come out from foreign country, must know rules. You not know, judge say, Too bad, go back. They not telling you why so you can use their way go forward. They say, Don’t know why, you find out yourself. But they knowing all the time. Better you take it, find out why yourself.” She tossed her head back with a satisfied smile.

D.No adverb clause

Answers

Answer:

C

Explanation:

First we know a verb is like an action word.

Next we know an adverb adds on to that or kind of modifies it

The verb in this sentence would be tell him because you are telling someone something which is an action

So I think the answer is C because you are telling him you are on the way home.

Read the poem.

Song of the Open Road

by Walt Whitman

Afoot and light-hearted, I take to the open road,
Healthy, free, the world before me,
The long brown path before me, leading wherever I choose.

Henceforth I ask not good-fortune—I myself am good-fortune;
Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing,
Strong and content, I travel the open road. . . .

From this hour, freedom!
From this hour I ordain myself loos’d of limits and imaginary lines,
Going where I list, my own master, total and absolute,
Listening to others, and considering well what they say,
Pausing, searching, receiving, contemplating,
Gently, but with undeniable will, divesting myself of the holds that would hold me.

I inhale great draughts of space;
The east and the west are mine, and the north and the south are mine.

I am larger, better than I thought;
I did not know I held so much goodness.

All seems beautiful to me;
I can repeat over to men and women, You have done such good to me, I would do the same to you.

I will recruit for myself and you as I go;
I will scatter myself among men and women as I go;
I will toss the new gladness and roughness among them;
Whoever denies me, it shall not trouble me;
Whoever accepts me, he or she shall be blessed, and shall bless me.

Question 1
Part A

What is a theme of "Song of the Open Road"?


Traveling is a freeing experience that allows for independence and self-reflection.

Being rooted in one place doing everyday activities is better than wandering alone on the open road.

Taking a vacation allows someone to spend meaningful time with friends and family.

Only when people are traveling can they truly prioritize the needs of others over their own needs.
Question 2
Part B

Which two quotes from the poem best help Whitman develop the theme identified in Part A?


"I will recruit for myself and you as I go; / I will scatter myself among men and women as I go;"

"Pausing, searching, receiving, contemplating, / Gently, but with undeniable will, divesting myself of the holds that would hold me."

"I can repeat over to men and women, You have done such good to me, I would do the same to you."

"From this hour, freedom! / From this hour I ordain myself loos’d of limits and imaginary lines,"

Read the passage about the life of Jackie Robinson.

Jackie Robinson was born on January 31, 1919, in Cairo, Georgia. Growing up, he was very much inspired by his older brother Matthew, who won a silver medal in the 200-meter dash at the 1936 Olympic Games, to pursue his talent and passion for athletics. He attended John Muir High School and then went on to Pasadena Community College, where he played football, basketball, track, and baseball. From there, Jackie went on to the University of California, Los Angeles, where his time was cut short due to financial hardship. After leaving the University of California, Jackie served in the United States Army. Fortunately, Jackie never saw combat; however, other circumstances ultimately led to Jackie’s honorable discharge from the military. It was shortly thereafter that Jackie began his career in Major League Baseball.

During this time, the leagues were still segregated. Jackie was drafted by Branch Rickey to change all of that and integrate baseball. On April 15, 1947, Jackie became the first African-American athlete to play in the major leagues. Despite the ongoing racism that Jackie faced from some teammates, crowds, and players from other teams, he earned the National League’s Most Valuable Player award in 1949. In his decade-long career with the Dodgers, Jackie helped his team win the National League pennant several times. In 1955, he helped them achieve the greatest victory of all: the World Series.

Including which fact would best help nominate Jackie Robinson for the “Most Talented” category in a yearbook?

Jackie earned the National League’s Most Valuable Player award in 1949.
Jackie’s older brother Matthew inspired him to pursue his athletic talents.
Jackie served in the United States Army but was never faced with combat.
