What is the most important purpose of the narrator in this
excerpt?
to explain that human beings are the weakest of all the
animals in the jungle
to explain why Shere Khan will kill a human being
instead of another animal
to explain why the animals of the jungle typically do not
kill human beings
to explain how seriously all of the animals take the Law
of the Jungle

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C). To explain why the animals of the jungle typically do not kill human beings.

Explanation:

In the given excerpt from 'Jungle Book', Kipling's key purpose is 'to elucidate to the readers that why the animals of the Jungle do not kill humans usually' which is clearly reflected through the portrayal of strict laws of the Jungle('law of the jungle...never orders anything without a reason).

The author serves his purpose of informing the readers about the reason for which the animals eat up a man and that is 'when the man poses a threat to them' which began with 'arrival...men on elephants..with guns...hundreds of brown men with gongs ...rockets and torches' that made all the animals suffer. This justifies the law of the jungle that animals are allowed to kill humans only  'when he is killing to show his children how to kill' to protect themselves in the future. Thus, option C is the correct answer.

Why do you think the narrator tries to force the quiet girl to speak? Explain what conflicts could lead her to this action. Support your ideas with details from the selection.

Answers

Answer:

I believe the narrator tries to force the quiet girl to speak because he wants to know things she is the only one that knows them. And to stop the abuse she goes through.

The reasons behind the protagonist forcing her are that she doesn't understand why she just doesn't talk to stop the bullying because she puts herself in the quiet girls' shoes but can't understand why she doesn't speak. So she forces her.

Explanation:

The reason behind this answer is that in the first place, the narrator tries to make speak because there is a mystery behind her wish of not speaking and because she is getting bullied by it. So the main character forces her to speak. Then, these are the same ideas that explain the conflict the protagonists go trough because she can't understand why the quite girl keeps doing it even when its the cause of her being bullied.

How does this example support the author's main purpose

How does the organizational structure of the passage support the author’s purpose?

Wouldn’t it be great to have a burrito bar in the cafeteria? A lot of junior high students love making their own burritos. If we had a burrito bar, students could prepare delicious lunches just the way they like them. The best part is that burritos can be made with wholesome ingredients like beef, chicken, and beans, so there’s no need to worry that the meals would be unhealthy for kids. The ingredients used in school lunches, so there would be no extra expenses for the school.

A. To persuade the reader that burritos are a healthy lunch option, the author uses a compare and contrast structure that shows the benefits of eating burritos.
B. To persuade the reader that the cafeteria should add a burrito bar, the author uses a proposition and support structure that explains the advantages a burrito bar would bring.
C. To inform the reader about the food preferences of junior high students, the author uses a proposition and support structure that suggests having a burrito bar would bring.

Answers

Answer:

The organizational structure of the passage supports the author's purpose by:

B. To persuade the reader that the cafeteria should add a burrito bar, the author uses a proposition and support structure that explains the advantages a burrito bar would bring.

Explanation:

The reasons behind this answer are: first of all, the author wants to persuade the reader to accept and support the idea of having a burrito bar. So, c is incorrect but the structure of the answer confirms it as it has grammar errors. Second, the author doesn't use contrast to fundament its opinion. Furthermore, it provides evidence of the benefits the burrito bar would have in the context. So, b is the correct option because that is the one providing arguments that support an idea, instead of contrast. Third, there is no contrasting elements in the text because the writer doesn't explain what are the cons of having a burrito bar.

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

John Lewis uses the metaphor of "walking with the wind" to talk about our role in the world in that it should be the union of the people and the strength that results from this union, what makes us resists the "strongest winds" that affect our society. What his metaphor suggest about what it takes to strengthen communities and make a positive difference in the world is that, as the case of the 15 children that remained united inside that house, people should maintain that unity under the most difficult circumstances because that would be the way to stand in front adversity and defeat it. Congressman John Lewis is one of the most influential African American legislators that supports civil rights.

By diving I could evade the bullets and, swimming vigorously, reach the bank, take to the woods and get away home. My home, thank God, is as yet outside their lines; my wife and little ones are still beyond the invader’s farthest advance.”

Many fish swim and feed during the day and hide in the reef at night. Parrotfish cover themselves with a kind of mucus sleeping bag when they retire for the evening. The bag seals in their smell so hunting eels can't find them.

The bag is mainly for _____.

A - protection

B - comfort

C - hunting

D - warmth

Answers

Answer: A. Protection

Explanation:

There are many possible explanations for the cocoons: they’re an early warning system; they act as a dust sheet; they protect the fish from DNA damage caused by sunlight; the list goes on. The most popular theory is that the cocoons protect the fish from predators. It dates back to 1959 when Howard Winn and John Bardach found that three species of mucus-weavers are less often eaten by moray eels than a fourth species that sleeps uncovered. But the duo never considered other differences between the four species and they still found that the eel occasionally ate the allegedly protected individuals. To date, the idea has never been properly tested.

The correct answer is A because it explains why many fish swim a d feed during the day because they are comfortable

Reread lines 41-56. What are Cousteau’s two main reasons for his claim that we should explore the oceans?

In the decades since, we’ve only explored about
10 percent of the ocean—an essential resource and complex
environment that literally supports life as we know it, life
on earth.
We now have a golden opportunity and a pressing need
to recapture that pioneering spirit. A new era of ocean
exploration can yield discoveries that will help inform
everything from critical medical advances to sustainable
forms of energy. Consider that AZT, an early treatment
for HIV, is derived from a Caribbean reef sponge, or that a
great deal of energy—from offshore wind, to OTEC (ocean
thermal energy conservation), to wind and wave energy—is
yet untapped in our oceans. Like unopened presents under the
tree, the ocean is a treasure trove of knowledge. In addition,
such discoveries will have a tremendous impact on economic
growth by creating jobs as well as technologies and goods.

Answers

Answer:

1) A golden opportunity

2) A pressing need

Explanation:

Cousteau’s two main reasons for his claim that we should explore the oceans are : 1) "A golden opportunity" ,2) "A pressing need" to explore the oceans

And the main reason while Cousteau's support oceans exploration is because of golden opportunity which he claimed can bring about the findings or leads to medical advancement such as the AZT which was derived from a Caribbean reef sponge.
