Answer:
Explanation:
Her real name - Yolande Cornelia
Her pen name - Nikki Giovanni
(A) Why might Yolande have changed her name to a non de plume?
She might have adopted the nom de plume "Nikki Giovanni" because in her childhood, "Nikki" was her sister's pet name for her. Also, Giovanni was one of her father's names.
(B) How the non de plume adds to her poetry:
- It protects her from political prejudice
- It conceals her identity, to a good extent. She was a powerful writer and she wrote on sensitive topics so the use of a pen name helped continue her poetry, without obstructions from those would want to trace her from the name.
- It serves as a business name for her. A business is an entity on its own. It can sue and be sued. It stands separate from the person or owner

Excerpt from Crisis No. 1 Thomas Paine These are the times that try men’s souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it NOW, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph...Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but ‘to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER,’ and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth.

Read this passage from Napoleon’s diary about religion. Based on this passage, which statement best sums up how Napoleon viewed religion in the French empire? Catholicism should be the official religion of France. All people should have the right to choose how to worship. The people of France must choose whether they want to be Catholic, Muslim, or Jewish. People in France are assured of going to Paradise.
It was by becoming a Catholic that I pacified the Vendée [region in western France], and a [Muslim] that I established myself in Egypt; it was by becoming ultramontane that I won over public opinion in Italy. If I ruled a people of Jews, I would rebuild the temple of Solomon! Paradise is a central spot whither the souls of men proceed along different roads; every sect has a road of its own. Read this passage from Napoleon’s diary about religion. Based on this passage, which statement best sums up how Napoleon viewed religion in the French empire? Catholicism should be the official religion of France. All people should have the right to choose how to worship. The people of France must choose whether they want to be Catholic, Muslim, or Jewish. People in France are assured of going to Paradise.
Answer:
The statement that best sums up how Napoleon viewed religion in the French empire was that All people should have the right to choose how to worship.
Explanation:
From the passage above, Napoleon understands the importance of freedom of religion and the uniqueness of different religious beliefs because he knew that he would have to try and please different people based on the religious belief he chose.
If he was a Catholic, he would have to pacify the Vendee and if he was to become a Muslim, he would have a strong base in Egypt, etc so because of this knowledge he believed that everyone had the right to choose how to worship.

You are the Financial manager of XYZ, Inc., a retailer of the exercise machine and related accessories. Your firm is considering opening up a new store in Beirut. The store will have a life of 20 years. It will generate annual sales of 5,000 exercise machines, and the price of each machine is $2,500. The annual sales of accessories will be $600,000, and the operating expenses of running the store, including labor and rent, will amount to 50 percent of the revenues from the exercise machines. The initial investment in the store will equal $30 million and will be fully depreciated on a straight-line basis over the 20-year life of the store. Your firm will need to invest $2 million in additional working capital immediately, and recover it at the end of the investment. Your firm’s marginal tax rate is 30 percent. The opportunity cost of opening up the store is 10 percent. What are the incremental cash flows from this project at the beginning of the project as well as in years 1-19 and 20? Should you approve it? Aa
Answer:
XYZ, Inc.
Incremental Cash Flows:
Year 0 Year 1 - 19 Year 20
a) Annual Machine Sales
(5,000 x $2,500) $0 $237,500,000 $12,500,000
b) Annual Sales of accessories 0 11,400,000 600,000
Operating Expenses (50% of a) 0 -118,750,000 -6,250,000
Investment -30,000,000
Working Capital investment -2,000,000 2,000,000
Income Taxes 0 -30,495,000 -1,605,000
Incremental Cash flows -$32,000,000 $99,655,000 $7,245,000
b) I should approve the budget based on the incremental cash flows.
Explanation:
The incremental cash is cash flow that a company obtains when it takes on a new project.
a) Annual machine sales = $12,500,000 (5,000 x $2,500). For 19 years, it will total $237,500,000 ($12,500,000 x 19).
b) Annual sales of accessories is $600,000 while for 19 years it is $11,400,000.
c) Annual operating expenses equal 50% of sales of machines. This is equal to $6,250,000 ($12,500,000 x 50%). For 19 years, it is $118,750,000 ($6,250,000 x 19).
d) Income taxes are applied after deducting tax depreciation from the annual revenue less operating expenses. Based on the straight-line method, the annual depreciation is $1,500,000 ($30,000,000/20).
e) There is no tax on the working capital recovered in the 20th year. It is possible to discount the cash flows to their present values, using the cost of capital as 10%. The resulting figure is compared to the initial investments. However, this may not be a requirement of this question.

Act 2 Sc. 1 lines 143-144 what comparison is being made in the metaphor in these lines? the tempest
Answer:
The metaphor allows Sebastian's speech to be something painful, similar to a doctor who refuses to take care of a wound, but starts rubbing it making it more painful.
Explanation:
The metaphor is a figure of language that allows a relationship to be established between two different terms, allowing one of them to assume the meaning of the other subjectively.
In lines 143-144 of "The Tempest" there is a metaphor that compares Sebastian's speech to a doctor who worsens a wound by rubbing it and causing more pain to the patient, instead of helping him. This means that Sebastian's words should help the king, but it is causing more pain and suffering than anything else.
Read the following excerpt from "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker: "The truth is," I said, "I promised to give them quilts to Maggie, for when she marries John Thomas." She gasped like a bee had stung her. "Maggie can't appreciate these quilts!" she said. "She'd probably be backward enough to put them to everyday use." "I reckon she would," I said. "God knows I been saving 'em for long enough with nobody using 'em. I hope she will!" I didn't want to bring up how I had offered Dee (Wangero) a quilt when she went away to college. Then she had told they were old-fashioned, out of style. Based on this excerpt, which description most likely describes the significance of the story's title?
Answer:
A. People connect with their culture by continually revisiting past traditions.
Explanation:
Alice Walker's Everyday Use revolves around the lives of the three women, mother-daughters, and their perception about what constitutes heritage, tradition, culture, and one's identity. Mama and Maggie may life in a dilapidated house but their sense of identity to their roots remains unbroken whereas the 'better educated' daughter Dee "Wangero" is more of a 'westernized' approach to her identity.
In the given passage, Dee hates the fact that her desired quilts were given to her sister Maggie who will only "put them to everyday use" whereas her own plan was to put them up like some souvenir and put in on display and not use it. The narrator Mama recollects the time when she had offered those same quilts to her when she first went to college but she had called them "old-fashioned, out of style" and refused to take them. And now that she's had a place of her own, she wanted to 'show-off' her heritage and tradition and use it as a way to 'decorate' her house. So, judging by the way the author decided to portray the characters to their relationship with the quilt, the book's title Everyday Use seemed likely to signify how people connect and feel connected with their culture through the frequent revisiting of past traditions.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
Answer:
A. People connect with their culture by continually revisiting past traditions.
