...Well, we are finally getting what we richly deserve—the Adjusted Compensation Act is law. Even though Calvin Coolidge wouldn't put his John Hancock on the bill, Congress did right by us! Sometimes I think our illustrious President is just too wrapped up in the interests of business to pay much attention to the little guys. Remember how he wouldn't talk turkey with Gompers when the cops in Boston went out on strike. Course back then we thought he was just worried about public safety. I'm never too sure what to think of him — if he was willin' to jabber and jaw once in a while we might get more of an idea of just what he's all about!
What is the allusion in this passage?
You may need to use a dictionary.
A.
Jabber and jaw
B.
Cops
C.
John Hancock
D.
Calvin Coolidge.
Answer:
C. John Hancock.
Explanation:
An allusion is a figurative speech when a reference is made to something that is unrelated. In other words, an allusion is the use of one object to refer to something that is not related to each other.

This is in reference to President John Hancock, who was famous for his big and bold signature when signing the Declaration of Independence. Since then, the term "John Hancock or Hancock" is used to refer to one's act of signing signatures.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Notice how the lighting changes during the course of the text. Cite evidence to show how the lighting has changed. How does this change in imagery reflect the changing character of Mary
Answer:
The light is mirrored in Mary's persona.
Explanation:
Both lamps in the room are "alight" at the start of the short passage. The lights in the grocery store are still turned on. It's dark outside when the officers arrive to investigate, and Mary catches "the flash of a torch through a chink in the curtain."
The light is mirrored in Mary's persona. At first, she appears content and happy, as signified by the lamps being lit. Her spirit darkens after she murders her husband, and it darkens much more when she orders the officers to consume the murder weapon.

Read the passage from “Cruel Tribute.”
Then the youths and maidens ran to Theseus and kissed his hands and feet, and thanked him for his great deed; and, as it was already growing dark, Theseus bade them follow him while he wound up the silken thread which was to lead them out of the Labyrinth. Through a thousand rooms and courts and winding ways they went, and at midnight they came to the outer door and saw the city lying in the moonlight before them; and, only a little way off, was the seashore where the black ship was moored which had brought them to Crete. The door was wide open, and beside it stood Ariadne waiting for them.
"The wind is fair, the sea is smooth, and the sailors are ready," she whispered; and she took the arm of Theseus, and all went together through the silent streets to the ship.

write a story which ends with " and yet he did it"
After years of wanting to raise a pet kitten, my parents finally allowed me to have one. I was extremely excited and could barely contain my happiness when we went to the animal shelter. However my dad put a specific condition for me to raise the cat "he won't be able to roam around the house," he said. Because of this condition, we had to empty the last room in the house, which would be the place where the kitten would stay. There we spread cat towers, footrests, scrapers, litter box and everything the cat could need to have a happy life.
When we arrived at the shelter, I carefully observed each cat present in the place and chose a black kitten that was meowing a lot. I think he wanted to get my attention and he did it. The kitten was full of energy and I believed it would be simple to take care of him. However, I was completely wrong.
The kitten was extremely smart and managed to escape the room prepared for him at all times. We couldn't keep him there, because he found a way to escape. Although this is a very funny situation, we tried to seal all the ways out and were overcome by fatigue. Our last attempt was to reduce the empty space under the door. We thought that my father would complain too much about the situation and that the cat would not be able to conquer him, but we were wrong again. My dad, who had no fondness for cats, was completely blown away by our kitten's cleverness, we thought he wouldn't allow the cat to stay in the house, but yet he did it.
