Explanation:
Read the Greek myth "Midas" retold by Thomas Bulfinch and answer the question. [1] Bacchus, on a certain occasion, found his old schoolmaster and foster-father, Silenus, missing. The old man had been drinking, and in that state wandered away, and was found by some peasants, who carried him to their king, Midas. Midas recognized him, and treated him hospitably, entertaining him for ten days and nights with an unceasing round of jollity. [2] On the eleventh day he brought Silenus back, and restored him in safety to his pupil. Whereupon Bacchus offered Midas his choice of a reward, whatever he might wish. He asked that whatever he might touch should be changed into gold. Bacchus consented, though sorry that he had not made a better choice. [3] Midas went his way, rejoicing in his new-acquired power, which he hastened to put to the test. He could scarce believe his eyes when he found a twig of an oak, which he plucked from the branch, become gold in his hand. He took up a stone; it changed to gold. He touched a sod; it did the same. He took up an apple from the tree; you would have thought he had robbed the garden of the Hesperides. His joy knew no bounds, and as soon as he got home, he ordered the servants to set a splendid repast on the table. Then he found to his dismay that whether he touched bread, it hardened in his hand; or put a morsel to his lip, it defied his teeth. He took a glass of wine, but it flowed down his throat like melted gold. [4] In consternation at the unprecedented affliction, he strove to divest himself of his power; he hated the gift he had lately coveted. But all in vain; starvation seemed to await him. He raised his arms, all shining with gold, in prayer to Bacchus, begging to be delivered from his glittering destruction. Bacchus, merciful deity, heard and consented. "Go," said he, "to River Pactolus, trace its fountain-head, there plunge yourself and body in, and wash away your fault and its punishment." He did so, and scarce had he touched the waters before the gold-creating power passed into them, and the river sands became changed into gold, as they remain to this day. Select a possible theme of the myth. Gold is a symbol of wealth and authority. Greed can result in negative consequences. People who expect a reward for good deeds are selfish. Money does not bring as much happiness as friendship.
Answer:One theme to the myth of Midas is Do not be greedy. Enjoy what you have in life.
Explanation:
King Midas was greedy. He never appreciated his daughter Marigold, nor any of the other things he had, he always wanted more. He was never satisfied.

Explanation:
Read the excerpt from "The Scarlet Ibis."
The lightning was near now, and from fear he walked so
close behind me he kept stepping on my heels. The faster |
walked, the faster he walked, so I began to run. The rain
was coming, roaring through the pines, and then, like a
bursting Roman candle, a gum tree ahead of us was
shattered by a bolt of lightning. When the deafening peal of
thunder had died, and in the moment before the rain
arrived, I heard Doodle, who had fallen behind, cry out,
"Brother, Brother, don't leave me! Don't leave me!"
The imagery in this excerpt most reflects
the sense of sight to emphasize the fear that Doodle
was feeling
the sense of sight to emphasize how difficult it was for
the boys to see
the sense of sound to emphasize the frustration of the
narrator.
the sense of sound to emphasize the intense volume of
the storm.
Answer: The sense of sound to emphasize the intense volume of the storm.

Excerpt from A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
The new era began; the king was tried, doomed, and beheaded; the Republic of Liberty, Equality, Fraternity, or Death, declared for victory or death against the world in arms; the black flag waved night and day from the great towers of Notre Dame....
There was no pause, no pity, no peace, no interval of relenting rest, no measurement of time. Though days and nights circled as regularly as when time was young, and the evening and morning were the first day, other count of time there was none. Hold of it was lost in the raging fever of a nation, as it is in the fever of one patient. Now, breaking the unnatural silence of a whole city, the executioner showed the people the head of the king—and now, it seemed almost in the same breath, the head of his fair wife which had had eight weary months of imprisoned widowhood and misery, to turn it grey....
A revolutionary tribunal in the capital, and forty or fifty thousand revolutionary committees all over the land; a law of the Suspected, which struck away all security for liberty or life, and delivered over any good and innocent person to any bad and guilty one; prisons gorged with people who had committed no offence, and could obtain no hearing; these things became the established order and nature of appointed things, and seemed to be ancient usage before they were many weeks old. Above all, one hideous figure grew as familiar as if it had been before the general gaze from the foundations of the world—the figure of the sharp female called La Guillotine.
It was the popular theme for jests; it was the best cure for headache, it infallibly prevented the hair from turning grey, it imparted a peculiar delicacy to the complexion, it was the National Razor which shaved close: who kissed La Guillotine, looked through the little window and sneezed into the sack. It was the sign of the regeneration of the human race. It superseded the Cross. Models of it were worn on breasts from which the Cross was discarded, and it was bowed down to and believed in where the Cross was denied.

III. Read the coach’s advice and choose the correct words in the rules below.
‘He said (that) it’s important to be a good listener.’
‘He told me that you need to be fair.’
‘He told me to do the right thing for the team.’
a. He refers to the coach / Annie.
b. Me refers to the coach / Annie.
c. We use an object (me) with the verb say / tell.
d. We don’t use an object (me) with the verb say / tell.
e. After tell / say we can use (not) to + infinitive.
Answer:
a). The coach
b). Annie
c). Tell
d). Say
e). Tell
Explanation:
As per the question, the correct words to fill in the given rules are mentioned above. Since the coach is giving advice, he is the speaker and therefore, 'he' refers to him while 'me'(the listener) is Annie. The object 'me' is used with tell in reported speech to indicate the message given by the speaker while 'say' is followed by 'that' instead of using an object. In case of 'tell', one can employ 'not to + infinitive(base form of the verb' as it is followed by the object.

LOTUS AND LEANING TOWER OF PISA. BASED ON THE PICTURE WRITE FOUR SENTENCES IN FIRST CONDITIONAL.
Answer and Explanation:
The First Conditional uses a verb in the present tense or in the present continuous tense for the condition, and a future tense (will) for the consequence. For example: If you love me, you will marry me.
The Lotus Temple is located in Delhi, India. It is a House of Worship open to all religions.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is located in Italy. Due to unstable foundation, it has a four-degree lean, which has made it famous worldwide.
With the information above in mind, let's make four sentences using the First Conditional about each of those places after looking at their pictures online.
1. If I travel to India, I will visit the Lotus Temple.
2. If I visit the Lotus temple, I will pray.
3. If you have the chance to visit the Lotus Temple, you will see people of all religions praying.
4. I will take several pictures if I visit the Lotus Temple.
1. If I travel to Italy, I will visit the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
2. If I visit the Tower of Pisa, I will take a picture pretending to hold it to keep it from falling.
3. If I visit the Tower of Pisa, I will buy souvenirs for my friends and family.
4. If I have the chance, I will go inside the Tower of Pisa.

What is Robert F Kennedy's main purpose in his speech about Martin Luther King's assassination?
Answer:
Explanation:
I have bad news for you, for all of our fellow citizens, and people who love peace all over the world, and that is that Martin Luther King was shot and killed tonight.
Martin Luther King dedicated his life to love and to justice for his fellow human beings, and he died because of that effort.
In this difficult day, in this difficult time for the United States, it is perhaps well to ask what kind of a nation we are and what direction we want to move in. For those of you who are black--considering the evidence there evidently is that there were white people who were responsible--you can be filled with bitterness, with hatred, and a desire for revenge. We can move in that direction as a country, in great polarization--black people amongst black, white people amongst white, filled with hatred toward one another.
Or we can make an effort, as Martin Luther King did, to understand and to comprehend, and to replace that violence, that stain of bloodshed that has spread across our land, with an effort to understand with compassion and love.
For those of you who are black and are tempted to be filled with hatred and distrust at the injustice of such an act, against all white people, I can only say that I feel in my own heart the same kind of feeling. I had a member of my family killed, but he was killed by a white man. But we have to make an effort in the United States, we have to make an effort to understand, to go beyond these rather difficult times.
My favorite poet was Aeschylus. He wrote: "In our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God."
What we need in the United States is not division; what we need in the United States is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence or lawlessness; but love and wisdom, and compassion toward one another, and a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white or they be black.
So I shall ask you tonight to return home, to say a prayer for the family of Martin Luther King, that's true, but more importantly to say a prayer for our own country, which all of us love--a prayer for understanding and that compassion of which I spoke.
We can do well in this country. We will have difficult times; we've had difficult times in the past; we will have difficult times in the future. It is not the end of violence; it is not the end of lawlessness; it is not the end of disorder.
But the vast majority of white people and the vast majority of black people in this country want to live together, want to improve the quality of our life, and want justice for all human beings who abide in our land.
Let us dedicate ourselves to what the Greeks wrote so many years ago: to tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world.
Let us dedicate ourselves to that, and say a prayer for our country and for our people.

In a short story taking place in the forest the sounds of the forest animals and insects are described at length. What choice might a filmmaker adapting the short story make instead of describing the sounds
Answer: Create a dramatic sound mix to present the sounds to the
audience
Question:
Here is the complete question:
In a short story taking place in the forest, the sounds of the forest animals
and insects are described at length. What choice might a filmmaker adapting the short story make instead of describing the sounds?
A. Remove the sounds from the film
B. Create a dramatic sound mix to present the sounds to the
audience
C. Change the setting to avoid the forest sounds
D. Have one of the film's characters comment on the sounds
Explanation:
In short stories and other literary works, the authors rely mainly on written descriptions, monologues or dialogues to present elements such as settings, characters, actions, etc. However, in cases whereby these literary works are adapted into films, the descriptions are not used because the use of a narrator is not common in films, therefore the filmmakers rely on the actions of characters and also show elements rather than describing them.
This means, in the case of a short story that is set in a forest, the best choice for adapting this is to allow the audience hear the sounds of the forest rather than describing them and therefore, the correct answer is to "create a dramatic sound mix to present the sounds to the audience". Option B is the right answer.

Reading Mr. Underwood's editorial about Tom Robinson, Scout concludes, "Tom had been given due process of law to the day of his death . . . But in the secret court of men's hearts Atticus had no case." What does she mean?
In this quote, Scout wants to highlight how difficult it was for a black man to get access to justice at the time. She tells us that Tom Robinson had been given "due process of law." This implies that Tom Robinson was treated fairly in the eyes of the law because he had had a lawyer and a trial.
However, Scout also highlights the fact that, besides these advantages, Robinson's trial was definitely not fair and just. In fact, he was harshly judged because of his skin colour, which many people took to be almost evidence of Robinson's guilt. Therefore, as Scout highlights, Tom had "lost" in front of his peers, and he was never able to gain support from people who were against him from the beginning. Tom had lost the case in the "secret court of men's heart."

Answer:
A film would most likely emphasize on a woman's emotions by focusing on their facial expressions.
