What do you notice about this structure?
A. Alternating lines are about the same length and all end with a dash.
B. Each line begins the same way and has the same number of words.
C. The lines don’t have an organized structure.
The correct answer is A. Alternating lines are about the same length and all end with a dash.
Explanation:
In most poems, lines follow a specific structure based on the number of syllables/words and other features such as rhyme or use of punctuation. In the case of the poem presented, there is a fixed structure because at the end of all the lines there is a dash (-) which might be used to replace a punctuation mark such as a comma and to create a pause between verses. Besides this, the length of verses 1 and 3 are similar, as well as the length between verses 2 and 4, which means alternating lines have a similar length based on the number of words and length of these. Thus, the option that best describes the structure is A.
Answer:
A) Altering lines are about the same length and all end with a dash

A. Emerson repeats the word consistency to emphasize his disapproval of compliant thinking.
B. Emerson repeats the word consistency, to highlight the importance of finishing what one has started.
O c. Emerson repeats the word consistency to express his desire for uniformity in transcendentalism.
D. Emerson repeats the word consistency to mirror his list of thinkers who were frequently misunderstood.
Answer:
A. Emerson repeats the word consistency to emphasize his disapproval of compliant thinking.
Explanation:
In the book, 'Self Reliance', by Ralph Waldo Emerson, the author talked about people who wanted to be consistent in their actions. This consistency stems from the fact that they wanted to always please people who know them by certain actions or ways of life in the past. Since they do not want to be seen in a different light, they fall back to a consistent lifestyle in order to be consistent from others perspective.
Emerson condemned such compliant thinking because he was an advocate of people not being limited in their thinking. People, he believed should be able to explore and reason extensively. They should also learn from their mistakes at their own pace, not conforming to the ideas or dictates of others.
Answer:
A. Emerson repeats the word consistency to emphasize his disapproval of compliant thinking.

LITERARY TEXT
“The Leak,” Jacques Futrelle
Read this passage from “The Leak” by Jacques Futrelle. Then, answer the question(s).
(1) The financier drew a long breath. “I have been informed that you were a remarkable man,” he said at last slowly. “I believe it. Quinton Frazier, the banker who gave me the letter of introduction to you, told me how you once solved a remarkable mystery in which—”
(2) “Yes, yes,” interrupted the scientist shortly, “the Ralston Bank burglary—I remember.”
(3) “So I came to you to enlist your aid in something which is more inexplicable than that.... Briefly, there is a leak in my office. My plans become known to others almost by the time I have perfected them. My plans are large; I have millions at stake; and the greatest secrecy is absolutely essential. For years I have been able to preserve this secrecy; but half a dozen times in the last eight weeks my plans have become known, and I have been caught. Unless you know the Street, you can’t imagine what a tremendous disadvantage it is to have someone know your next move to the minutest detail and, knowing it, defeat you at every turn.”
(4) “No, I don’t know your world of finance, Mr. Grayson,” remarked The Thinking Machine. “Give me an instance.”
(5) “Well, take this last case,” said the financier earnestly. “Briefly, without technicalities, I had planned to unload the securities of the P., Q. & X. Railway, protecting myself through brokers, and force the outstanding stock down to a price where other brokers, acting for me, could buy far below the actual value. In this way I intended to get complete control of the stock. But my plans became known, and when I began to unload everything was snapped up by the opposition, with the result that instead of gaining control of the road I lost heavily. This same thing has happened, with variations, half a dozen times.”
(6) “I presume that is strictly honest?” inquired the scientist mildly.
(7) “Honest?” replied Grayson. “Certainly—of course.”
10. In the third paragraph, when Grayson refers to “the Street,” to what is he referring?
a.
New York’s Fifth Avenue, the fashionable street on which Grayson lives
b.
New York’s Wall Street, the center of U.S. business investment
c.
any rough urban area that has a great deal of poverty and crime
d.
the companies that make up the railway industry
Answer:
c. any rough urban area that has a great deal of poverty and crime
Explanation:
"The Street" as used in this context is usually used to describe a poor ghetto-like area where all manner of crime are carried out. It is regarded as a breeding place for criminals. From the above excerpt, we can gather that professional criminals who are never easily caught and who easily get information at their fingertips are found in the Street.
"The Leak" is a detective tale by Jacques Futrelle. His lead investigator is Professor Augustus S.F.X. Van Dusen who is known as The Thinking Machine. Professor Dusen comes in to assist a businessman who is suffering the risk of his high-valued deals because of the presence of a spy in his office. His secrets seem to be exposed to the unknown spy thereby making him vulnerable.
Jacques Futrelle was an American who was very known for journalism and mystery writing. Also, he is well-known for writing detective stories. Futrelle passed away during the sinking of the RMS Titanic.
The context clues of Grayson referring to “the Street simply means C. An urban area that has a great deal of poverty and crime.

Mrs Hall visitors attempts to remain in the dark because light represents what A. goodness B. knowledge C. money D. purity
Answer:
B. knowledge
Explanation:
To remain in the dark means to be excluded from full knowledge or disclosure (of something). To remain in the light will, therefore, mean to be in full knowledge about something. Ignorance is darkness. Knowledge is light. Light and darkness are absolute opposites. The presence of light always dispels darkness. Therefore, they cannot dwell together. In the same way, you cannot be aware or knowledgeable about something and at the same time be ignorant of it.

It uses like and none of the other options use like or as so it seems like the most likely option.
Also, I believe the other person was confused and put

Answer:
Postwar science fiction authors wrote to warn society of the potential results of its values, while beat generation authors wrote to reject society’s values.
