Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

He is very confident in his overall ability to pilot a steamboat.

Explanation:

If there is a part 2, Part 2: "If anybody had questioned my ability to run any crossing between Cairo and New Orleans without help or instruction, I should have felt irreparably hurt."

Answer 2

The narrator of  “A Cub Pilot” feels that he knows the river better than any of the pilots do.

“If anybody had questioned my ability to run any crossing between Cairo and New Orleans without help or instruction, I should have felt irreparably hurt.”

What do you know about the story of "A Cub Pilot"?

The novel " A Cub Pilot" comes from Mark Twain's book "Life On The Mississippi." It describes Samuel Clemens'/Mark Twain's experiences working as a steersman for his captain, Mr. Bixby.

When Mr. Bixby requested Mark to steer the boat while he went below for a time, Mark was comfortable operating it alone. He felt confident in his skills and expertise and his confidence was at an all-time high.

He thinks that there is no other pilot that knows the river better than him. This is supported by his admission "If anybody had questioned my ability to run any crossing between Cairo and New Orleans without help or instruction, I should have felt irreparably hurt."

Hence, The narrator of  “A Cub Pilot” feels that he knows the river better than any of the pilots do, and to support this statement, the particular sentences that can be analyzed from the novel is:

“If anybody had questioned my ability to run any crossing between Cairo and New Orleans without help or instruction, I should have felt irreparably hurt.”

The missing part of the question is given below:

Which statement from “A Cub Pilot” best supports the answer in Part A? “My imagination began to construct dangers out of nothing, and they multiplied faster than I could keep the run of them.” “Judgment is a matter of brains, and a man must start with a good stock of that article, or he will never succeed as a pilot.” “If anybody had questioned my ability to run any crossing between Cairo and New Orleans without help or instruction, I should have felt irreparably hurt.” “All [Mr. Bixby] ever did was to take the wheel on particularly bad nights or in particularly bad crossings . . . and collect the wages.”

o b. They need to money to refurbish their church

O c. The city has been afflicted with a plague

O d. Oedipus has disrespected their church

Answers

Answer:

O c. The city has been afflicted with a plague.

Explanation:

Sophocles' play "Oedipus the King" follows the story of Oedipus, the king of Thebes, and his fate. He had unknowingly killed his own father, marrying his mother and thus, brought his own downfall.

The beginning of the play projects a scene where the citizens of Thebes have gathered in front of the palace. When asked by Oedipus why they are there, and in distress, the priest told him that they had been afflicted by a great plague that has killed many of them. He states "For our city, as you yourself can see, is badly shaken—she cannot raise her head above the depths of so much surging death", further stressing it as "deadly pestilence, that fiery god, swoops down to blast the city". So, they had come to their king, "our king, most powerful in all men’s eyes, we’re here as suppliants, all begging you to find some help for us, either by listening to a heavenly voice, or learning from some other human being".

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Why had Holmes not immediately left for Dartmoor when he received the telegram from Colonel Ross?

Answers

Answer:

Holmes did not leave immediately for Dartmoor when he received the telegram from Colonel Ross because he couldn't believe immediately that the most remarkable horse in England could be missing without someone knowing. Therefore, he was expecting to hear that the horse has been found before taking any action.

Explanation:

When Holmes got no information about the horse being found, he decided to take action.

"Silver Blaze" is a short story written by Conan Doyle. The story talks about the disappearance of the great race horse, Silver Blaze and the murder of the trainer, John Straker.

Colonel Ross, the owner of the horse invited Holmes to help investigate the case. Holmes took his partner, Watson to Dartmoor in order to investigate the case.

an essay on summer vacation ​

Answers

This year's vacation was the best vacation ever; I've been in the far east and I went to the most beautiful island in the Mediterranean Sea - Greece, there among the amazing beaches and beautiful women I found the meaning of ultimate freedom and relaxation.

            My journey started during the month of July , I flew to Hong-Kong to visit my father. I traveled there for a week, It wasn't my first trip to this fabulous country - I've been there few times before. We took a ferry from Hong Kong to a chinese city called shenzen near the border, I was lucky enough to have my father with me to show me around.

            Shenzen is a small town not far from Hong-Kong and we spent the day wandering through markets, taking in the sights, and generally just relaxing, and then we took a ferry back to HK, I remained in HK for a few days and flew back to Israel .

            When I came back to Israel I was overwhelmed by the economic, military and social problems that developed while I was away. mostly by the new law suggested by judge Tal, it felt like my whole world was collapsing on me so I decided to run away from all the mayhem, pollution, terror to a quiet place , a place that I can lie down between the sand – Greece. I flew to the island of Kos.

            It was the most amazing week of my life. the wonderful experience included beautiful beaches, incredible parties and meeting interesting people.

            To conclude, this vacation was the best i've ever had, possibly due to the fact this was the last school vacation of my life. I will always cherish every little moment of it.

 DELIGHT AT THE GOVERNMENT FINALLY BANNING PLASTIC BURNING.

A very good day to you Mr. Ajay Sharma. I write to you to express my great joy at the decision of the government at finally banning plastic burning in residential zones in Kerala just yesterday.

Prior to this ban, Kerala has been subjected to lots of plastic burnings which is not only bad for the environment but also for the inhabitants. There have been calls for these plastics to be recycled, if possible, but it has not been heeded. There have been peaceful demonstrations, petitions, and other measures to stop this plastic burning which have yielded little results.

You can barely imagine the joy in Kerala when we heard that the government had a blanket ban on single-use plastic, more auspiciously, just as we entered new year. The inhabitants of Kerala can now breathe a collective sigh of relief and face their daily lives with gusto and renewed fervor.

Thank you for your time, and do have a good day.

                                                                                            Yours faithfully,

b) Simple Past
c) Present Perfect
d) Past Perfect​

Answers

Answer:

c) Present Perfect

Explanation:

The present perfect tense helps in highlighting the relationship that exists between the present tense and the past tense. It is formed by adding 'have' or 'has' with the third form of the verb. The time in which the action had taken place is sometimes in the past and has continued in the present times. It also specifies the action that has occurred at a time that has not been completed. In the given sentence, 'have ever experienced' is the present perfect tense.

Answer:

c) Present perfect is the correct answer

Explanation:

It is mostly used to describe the changes, experience and events that have taken place many times before now.

Present perfect sentences are formed using ha/have+ past participle.  The questions are formed by have/has before the subject.  The  negative sentences are made by adding not with after has/ have. Sample statements:  

       You have climbed that hill many times.  

       Have you gone to that mall?

What is "By the Waters of Babylon" about?

Stephen Vincent Benét's "By the Waters of Babylon" is a short fiction. John, the primary character, is a priest and a priest's son living in a post-apocalyptic world. He resolves to journey to a prohibited region, a place where he and his people believe gods once lived.

After crossing the Hudson River and arriving in New York, John discovers that the beings they thought where gods were, in fact, men like himself and his peers. He discovers there are no demons haunting the region and understands his people should be able to build big structures and work with metal as mankind did in the past.

In the extract, John has just come home and has informed his father of what he has witnessed. His father warns him not to tell anyone what he told him. People will probably not be able to take it all in at once because they have been living with false convictions for so long, and they may even question John, calling him a liar or a mad guy.

However, if the truth is gradually exposed, people may become used to the notion that mankind created their own devastation and that they are capable of rebuilding the world. As a result, it appears that facing the reality is the best option. Hence, option second is correct.

Mccain's essay was very exaggerating to me and managed to extend my concept of patriotism, thus leaving the concept more complete and efficient. Before reading the essay, I believed that patriotism is related exclusively to the feeling of love for the country, within that feeling it was not correct to criticize and not support certain elements, but just to love the country unconditionally. MacCain's essay showed me that criticism of the country is part of patriotism, because it is through criticism that we recognize the defects that our society has and that need to be changed. This is able to motivate us to fight for a better country. Striving for improvement represents love for the country and that represents patrotism.
