The correct answer is B. The sacrifices of fallen soldiers should be honored by survivors.
Explanation
The text is an excerpt from the Gettysburg Address speech that talks about the attitude that citizens should have to strengthen the nascent country resulting from the war. In the speech Abraham Lincoln proposes to continue building the nation together when he says "It is for us, the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced". Furthermore, he points out that this would be a way of honoring the soldiers who gave their lives in the war as he expresses it by saying "that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain". According to the above, the correct answer is B. The sacrifices of fallen soldiers should be honored by survivors.
Read both passages and answer the question.
Passage 1: Excerpt of John Muir's "Calypso Borealis"
[1] After earning a few dollars working on my brother-in law's farm near Portage [Wisconsin], I set off on the first of my long lonely excursions, botanising in glorious freedom around the Great Lakes and wandering through innumerable tamarac and arbor-vitae swamps, and forests of maple, basswood, ash, elm, balsam, fir, pine, spruce, hemlock, rejoicing in their bound wealth and strength and beauty, climbing the trees, revelling in their flowers and fruit like bees in beds of goldenrods, glorying in the fresh cool beauty and charm of the bog and meadow heathworts, grasses, carices, ferns, mosses, liverworts displayed in boundless profusion.
[2] The rarest and most beautiful of the flowering plants I discovered on this first grand excursion was Calypso borealis (the Hider of the North). I had been fording streams more and more difficult to cross and wading bogs and swamps that seemed more and more extensive and more difficult to force one's way through. Entering one of these great tamarac and arbor-vitae swamps one morning, holding a general though very crooked course by compass, struggling through tangled drooping branches and over and under broad heaps of fallen trees, I began to fear that I would not be able to reach dry ground before dark, and therefore would have to pass the night in the swamp and began, faint and hungry, to plan a nest of branches on one of the largest trees or windfalls like a monkey's nest, or eagle's, or Indian's in the flooded forests of the Orinoco described by Humboldt.
[3] But when the sun was getting low and everything seemed most bewildering and discouraging, I found beautiful Calypso on the mossy bank of a stream, growing not in the ground but on a bed of yellow mosses in which its small white bulb had found a soft nest and from which its one leaf and one flower sprung. The flower was white and made the impression of the utmost simple purity like a snowflower. No other bloom was near it, for the bog a short distance below the surface was still frozen, and the water was ice cold. It seemed the most spiritual of all the flower people I had ever met. I sat down beside it and fairly cried for joy…
[6] Oftentimes I had to sleep without blankets, and sometimes without supper, but usually I had no great difficulty in finding a loaf of bread here and there at the houses of the farmer settlers in the widely scattered clearings. With one of these large backwoods loaves I was able to wander many a long wild fertile mile in the forests and bogs, free as the winds, gathering plants, and glorying in God's abounding inexhaustible spiritual beauty bread. Storms, thunderclouds, winds in the woods—were welcomed as friends.
Passage 2: William Wordsworth's "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud"
[1]I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
[5]Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
[10]Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
[15]A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
[20]In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
Both passages use the word "lonely" in their first sentence. In a paragraph of 4-6 sentences, explain how each author feels about his loneliness and how nature takes away their loneliness. Use evidence from both texts to support your answer.

Read the excerpt. Because the endangered panthers living in the forests need large, connected territories to roam. What is the best review of this excerpt?
This question is missing the answer choices. I have found them online. They are as follows:
A. The excerpt does not need revision because it contains an independent clause that completes the writer's thought.
B. The excerpt does not need revision because it contains a dependent clause that completes the writer's thought.
C. The excerpt should be revised because it contains an independent clause that leaves the writer's thought unfinished.
D. The excerpt should be revised because it contains a dependent clause that leaves the writer's thought unfinished.
Answer:
The best review of the excerpt is:
D. The excerpt should be revised because it contains a dependent clause that leaves the writer's thought unfinished.
Explanation:
An independent clause expresses a complete thought on its own, which means it can stand alone as a sentence. On the other hand, a dependent clause cannot do the same, because it expresses an incomplete thought. Dependent clauses begin with subordinating conjunctions such as "because", "although", "when", "since", etc.
The excerpt we are analyzing here is an example of dependent clause. Notice that it begins with the subordinating conjunction "because" and that an idea is missing in the end:
"Because the endangered panthers living in the forest need large, connected territories to roam..." what? Because of that, what should happen? What should we do? See how the message is incomplete? Just as an example, let's complete this sentence with another idea:
- Because the endangered panthers living in the forest need large, connected territories to roam, we should protect large areas of wilderness.
See how it sounds better now? The message of the sentence is complete.
Answer:
D) The excerpt should be revised because it contains a dependent clause that leaves the writer’s thought unfinished.

How does the description "Careless she is with artful care, / Affecting to seen unaffected" characterize the women in the poem?
Answer:
The description characterizes women as sneaky and malicious beings who act conscientiously to deceive those around them.
Explanation:
The lines presented in the above question are from the poem "Amoret" written by William Congreve, where he makes constant use of paradox to show the difference in how women act and how they really are. According to the poem, women act in a naive, shy, and careless way to convey an image of fragility and enchant those around them, however all these actions are coldly planned in a malicious and sneaky way, as women are the opposite of that.

Ephesians 6:1-4. Explain the role of the children and the role of the parents in the family.
Answer:
The childrens role is to obey their parents while the Parents role is to love and raise the child in the right way.
Explanation:
Ephesians 6:1-4 is explaining how children need to obey their parents, meaning that they should listen and follow the rules their mom or dad has given or put in place for the child to follow. It's also explaining how parents shouldn't provoke and anger their children but love them and bring their children up in the right way. The right way, in this case, would be to take the children to church and show them what's right and what is wrong.

C main feeling expressed by the central character.
• emotion or atmosphere created by the author.
O happiness felt by readers as conflict is solved.
© struggle between two forces or characters,
Answer:
emotion or atmosphere created by the author.
Explanation:
In English literature, a tone can be defined as the attitude of an author or writer towards a subject.
This ultimately implies that, the point of view or perspective of an author toward a subject in a literary work is his or her tone.
Also, you should note that a "tone" is a literary device in literature and as doesn't mean the way people speak or the pitch used by a speaker in contemporary english language.
Basically, the tone of a text expresses or reflects the mood of an author of a literary work and as such goes a long way to affect the countenance of the reader. Therefore, the tone being used by an author in a literary work such as articles, novels, stories etc., has the potential of evoking various emotions and shaping the perspective of a reader of the piece of writing.
In this context, the mood of a story simply means the emotion or atmosphere created by the author through the use of setting, imagery, descriptions and attitude. Thus, the emotions elicited may include feelings of anger, fear, calm, joy, happiness, sadness, compassion, etc.
The soldiers were awestruck when they saw the village of the Bishnois, yet they were ready to destruct that peaceful and healthy environment. In what way would they not only damage the environment, but the faith and trust of people as well?
Answer:
The Bishnoi faith is a religious offshoot of Hinduism founded on 29 principles, most of which promote environmental stewardship. Bishnois strictly forbid the harming of trees and animals. The religion was founded by Guru Maharaj Jambaji in 1485 AD in the Marwar (Jodhpur) desert region of western Rajasthan, India. Jambaji witnessed the incessant clear-cutting of trees during times of drought to feed animals, only to see them die eventually as the drought continued. He also recognized the importance of trees within his local ecosystem (keeping animals alive) and banned cutting down green trees and killing birds or animals. Jambaji's spiritual reverence for nature led to a tradition of harmony with the local ecology: in the middle of an arid desert region, the Bishnois are famous for cultivating lush vegetation, caring for animals, and collecting drinkable water.
In 1730, almost 300 years after Guru Jambaji's 29 principles were recorded, the maharajah (king) of Jodhpur wanted to build a new palace. He sent soldiers to gather wood from the forest region near the village of Khejarli, where Bishnoi villagers had helped foster an abundance of khejri (acacia) trees. When the king's men began to harm the trees, the Bishnois protested in anguish but were ignored by the soldiers, who were under royal orders.
Amrita Devi was a female villager who could not bear to witness the destruction of both her faith and the village's sacred trees. She decided to literally hug the trees, and encouraged others to do so too, proclaiming: “A chopped head is cheaper than a felled tree.” Bishnois from Khejri and nearby villages came to the forest and embraced the trees one by one to protect them from being cut down. As each villager hugged a tree, refusing to let go, they were beheaded by the soldiers. This voluntary martyrdom continued until 363 Bishnoi villagers were killed in the name of the sacred Khejarli forest.
Once word got back to the King about this activity he rushed to the village and apologized, ordering the soldiers to cease logging operations. Soon afterwards, the maharajah designated the Bishnoi state as a protected area, forbidding harm to trees and animals. This legislation still exists today in the region.
In memory of the 363 Bishnois, who died protecting their dear trees, a number of khejri trees are planted around the area, which is still notably lush and rich with animal life. The Bishnoi sacrifices became the inspiration for a much larger Chipko movement that is still growing today, in which villagers physically embrace trees to save them from logging.
