Answer:
The lines that best expresses the theme of the poem are:
A) "Oh, nefarious war! I see why arms /
Were so seldom used by the benign sovereigns."
Explanation:
The poem "Nefarious War" describes the horrors of the Chinese battles against the Tartars and criticizes the fact that war accomplishes nothing.
The lands of China are covered with corpses of fallen soldiers, their insides being eaten by birds, their horses crying woefully. After this awful description, the speaker states:
So, men are scattered and smeared over the desert grass,
And the generals have accomplished nothing.
Oh, nefarious war! I see why arms
Were so seldom used by the benign sovereigns.
The poem is criticizing the uselessness of war. Its brutality brings nothing but pain and suffering. Benign sovereigns can see and understand that, which leads them to avoid engaging in war. Since they truly want their people to be happy, they do not send them to meaningless fights. Sovereigns who do not avoid war at all costs end up facing other costs - their people's lives and happiness.

Read the excerpt from "Elevator Systems of the Eiffel Tower, 1889" by Robert M. Vogel.
The first complete elevator machine in the United States, constructed in 1855, was a complex and inefficient contrivance built around an oscillating-cylinder steam engine. The advantages of an elevator system independent of the mill drive quickly became apparent, and by 1860 improved steam elevator machines were being produced in some quantity, but almost exclusively for freight service. It is not clear when the first elevator was installed explicitly for passenger service, but it was probably in 1857, when Otis placed one in a store on Broadway at Broome Street in New York.
In the decade following the Civil War, tall buildings had just begun to emerge; and, although the skylines of the world’s great cities were still dominated by church spires, there was increasing activity in the development of elevator apparatus adapted to the transportation of people as well as of merchandise. Operators of hotels and stores gradually became aware of the commercial advantages to be gained by elevating their patrons even one or two floors above the ground, by machinery. The steam engine formed the foundation of the early elevator industry, but as building heights increased it was gradually replaced by hydraulic, and ultimately by electrical, systems.
Which sentence most directly supports the development of the central idea?

Operators of hotels and stores gradually became aware of the commercial advantages to be gained by elevating their patrons even one or two floors above the ground, by machinery.
Answer:
C). In the decade following the Civil War, tall buildings had just begun to emerge; and, although the skylines of the world's great cities were still dominated by church spires, there was increasing activity in the development of elevator apparatus adapted to the transportation of people as well as of merchandise.
Explanation:
The above sentence most aptly backs the advancement of key idea of 'advent of elevator system in United States and its spread.' The development of 'elevator apparatus adapted to the transportation of people as well as of merchandise' assisted in promoting the hotel operators to 'elevate their patrons for one or two floor above' for commercial gains that led the foundation of early elevator industry that eventually kept on advancing with time. It reflects that how the apparent advantages of elevator system have played a significant role in emergence of tall buildings as well. Thus, option C is the correct answer.
Answer:
C is correct

Read the passage from chapter 7 of Animal Farm.
As Clover looked down the hillside her eyes filled with tears. If she could have spoken her thoughts, it would have been to say that this was not what they had aimed at when they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race. These scenes of terror and slaughter were not what they had looked forward to on that night when old Major first stirred them to rebellion. If she herself had had any picture of the future, it had been of a society of animals set free from hunger and the whip, all equal, each working according to his capacity, the strong protecting the weak, as she had protected the lost brood of ducklings with her foreleg on the night of Major's speech. Instead—she did not know why—they had come to a time when no one dared speak his mind, when fierce, growling dogs roamed everywhere, and when you had to watch your comrades torn to pieces after confessing to shocking crimes. There was no thought of rebellion or disobedience in her mind. She knew that, even as things were, they were far better off than they had been in the days of Jones, and that before all else it was needful to prevent the return of the human beings. Whatever happened she would remain faithful, work hard, carry out the orders that were given to her, and accept the leadership of Napoleon. But still, it was not for this that she and all the other animals had hoped and toiled. It was not for this that they had built the windmill and faced the bullets of Jones's gun. Such were her thoughts, though she lacked the words to express them.
Which statement best describes the use of satire in this passage?
Parody is used to illustrate the impact of Stalin’s purge.
Ridicule is used to show the gullibility of the Russian citizens.
Reversal is used to show how Clover, representing the people, has changed ideals.

In what ways are the technologies portrayed in the ‘house of the future’ similar to technologies we have today, or logical extensions of what we have today?
Answer:
In this short story by Ray Bradbury we can find many technologies similar to those we have today.
Explanation:
Here I will leave a list with the technological items in the story and their similar at present:
The voice of the clock in the room: Although we do not use a clock that tells us "time to get up" over and over again, it is very common to have an alarm clock with some personalized sound, we can even put some song for the cell phone alarm. The breakfast oven that prepares the toasts: Today there are microwaves that you can program with a timer to turn them on. The voice that speaks about the news and the bills pending payment: This could be similar to the alarms or reminders that we program on our cell phone, where we can write down from birthdays to due dates of bills. The automatic garage door: Today there are automated doors that open at the push of a button. The dishwashing machine: That exists today, with the only difference that each person must put dirty dishes there. Mechanical mice: What resembles this today are electric vacuum cleaners, also programmable that one can leave to vacuum the house on their own. The garden water jets: This is also something that is used today.Why are people curious about our galaxy and what lies beyond?

Chapter 30: Heck Tate insists that “Bob Ewell fell on his knife.” In saying this, who is he trying to protect? Scout agrees with Heck tate. Explain what she means when she says, “Well, it’d be sort of like shootin’ a mockingbird wouldn’t it?” What lesson has she finally learned?
to kill a mocking bird.THX
Answer:
In saying 'Bob Ewell fell on his knife' Heck Tate was trying to protect Boo Radley.
When Scout says “Well, it’d be sort of like shootin’ a mockingbird wouldn’t it?” she was referring to the time Atticus told her it is forbidden to kill a mockingbird because it is always just trying to help everybody. She means that Boo Radley is the mockingbird here who was only trying to help them, and exposing what he did will result in the people pestering him which would injure his shy and private nature.
Scout finally understood what Heck Tate was trying to tell her father, that Jem did not kill Bob Ewell and that he is trying to protect Boo from being flung into the public eyes by saying Bob fell on his knife.
Explanation:
After Bob Ewell was killed Atticus and Heck Tate discussed the situation. Atticus thought Jem killed Bob and should be brought to justice, Heck Tate insisted that Jem did not kill Bob and that Bob "fell on his knife".
Heck's insistence on this is because he knows Boo Radley is the actual killer, but Boo was only stopping a crime. He thinks its best if the town people didn't know that Boo saved the children, as they will start treating him like a hero and cost him great pains due to his shy nature.
Scout understood what he meant finally and told her father Heck Tate is right, because it will be "like shooting a mockingbird", meaning exposing what Boo did will cost him his much treasured privacy when he was just trying to help.
