Storm
by Tina Tocco

It kept me cooped up
all afternoon
with nothing to do
except stay in my room.

The keyword "tyranny” in this poster is primarily used to

encourage viewers to feel sympathy for those who are forced to fight against such a hostile enemy.
convince viewers that winning the war will result in a restructuring of the enemy’s unfair political system.
inspire viewers to support the war effort by portraying the enemy as a cruel and unfair political force.
empower viewers to join the military by suggesting that the war can be won only if everyone joins the fight.

Answers

The keyword "tyranny” in this poster is primarily used to inspire viewers to support the war effort by portraying the enemy as a cruel and unfair political force. I believe this is the correct answer because the enemy should be portrayed as tyrannical and inhumane so that the people will start hating them even more. People have to know who their enemy is and thus do everything in their power to stop them, according to the poster.

Q26 What is the subtext of Eliot Rosewater saying what is attractive about war?

Select one:
a. People profit from war.
b. War is peace.
c. War is hell.
d. We make war that we may live in peace.

Answers

A .people profit from war

The subtext of Eliot Rosewater saying what is attractive about war is people profit from war. The correct option is a.

What is subtext?

The subtext is any content of a creative work, which is not announced explicitly by characters or authors, but is implicit, or becomes something understood by the audience. Subtext has been used historically to imply controversial subjects without drawing the attention or wrath of censors.

This has been especially true in comedy; it is also common in science fiction, where it can be easier and safer to deliver a social critique if, e.g., set in a time other than the author's present. Subtext also may be included in the action of narratives, with secondary themes expressed to appeal to a general audience; such approaches to sexual or otherwise more adult story content, in works accessible to the young, often fail to register for the young reader, though adults will understand perhaps even appreciating the mental stimulation offered them, in catching the child-invisible nuances.

Question 2

Answers

Answer:  The correct answer is:
_________________________

 Choice: [A]:  " The dog took its bone and ran into the house. "
_________

Explanation:

_________

Take note of the following text of:
_________
  Choice [B]:  " The dog took it's bone and ran into the dog house."

 {Note: This answer choice is incorrect.}.  

 Note the contraction:  " it's " ;  

           → is used only in place of:  " it is " — or; " it has. "

For: Choice: [B]:  

Note that replacing given word:  
  " it's " with:  " it is " ; or:
             — with:  " it has "

           →  do not make sense.
_____
Note:  For the given information in:
             Answer Choice:  [B]:
_____
→  " The dog took it's {sic} bone and ran into the doghouse."
_____
First:  Let's replace the " it's" with: Both:" it is " ; and:  
                                                with:  " it has" .
_____
→   "{ The dog took it is bone and ran into the doghouse."}.
→   "{ The dog took it has bone and ran into the doghouse."}.
_____
{Note: This does not only make sense within conversation—{nor, for that matter—in written from—but furthermore is not "grammatically correct"—{since inserting a "conjugated verb with a subject"}—such as:
 
→ " it has" ; or;
  → " it is " ;  [especially within an already written sentence with a clear "subject or subject pronoun"— along with a correspording "predicate."}.

_____
So, we can Rule out:  "Answer Choice:  [B]."

_______

Now:  Let's check:  Choice:  [C]:
_______
" The dog took its' bone and ran into the doghouse."

→  {Note: This answer choice is incorrect.}.  

Note:  We never use the "word" — its' {sic} —under any circumstances—even to denote a "possessive sense"—and NOT as a "contraction."
       → One does NOT use any:  {"contraction(s) / apostrophes"} ;

                         → even to denote a "{possessive sense."}.

To the contrary, in ^these situations:

       → We simply write the word as:  " its " .
_____
→  which explains why:  

Answer Choice:  [A]: " The dog took its bone and ran into house."
               →  is the correct answer!
_____

{Personal note of advice:  For academic and formal writng:
  For:  "it is" ; or: "it has" ; always write the words.
And, on that note:   Also contractions should be written out.
For example: "can't" should be written as:  "cannot" (one word).
 The word:  "won't" ; should be:  "will not."
_______
Put simply:
 In formal or academic writing—avoid all contractions—[unless you are quoting a source that contains contractions.]/
  When trying to write:  " it is " ;  or, " it has " ;  do not use:  " it's " ;  just write the actual words.  When trying to write:  " its " —in a "possessive sense" — simply write:  "  its " .

What is the main argument that Dr. King makes with his, "I Have a Dream" speech?
A. African Americans have received bad checks from the bank, which is unfair
B. African Americans are not included in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, and this must change.
C. There is still too much inequality in the United States
D. African Americans want to be able to travel and move freely throughout the US, just as whites can

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

I didn't hear any reference to Bad Checks. If there was reference to it, it was not a major point. Not A

B: not emphasized either. The Amendments to the constitution contain rights given to the colored. Not B.

C:  When he speaks of freedom reigning in America of his dream, King is inferring that there is still too much inequality in the United States, no matter what the constitution might guarantee.  

C is your answer.

D is a minor consideration of what freedom means. The right to travel is not nearly as important as skin color no longer mattering.
