Answer:
D). To support the idea that Alfonso does not always appreciate his family.
Explanation:
Characterization is elucidated as the process through which the authors reveal the personality(appearance and traits) of a character. It assists the readers to understand a character and relate him/her to the series of events effectively.
In the given excerpt, Soto involves characterization of Alfonso's mother through various descriptions like 'his mother clipped coupons, kept a vegetable garden, shopped at Penney's' to reinforce the idea that Alfonso does not always appreciate his family. But he also critiques them the other times as he valued the outer beauty or appearance more than the inner purity of soul. Thus, this instance substantiates this claim yet he later realizes when breaks the chain of his bike that 'all that matters is the inner beauty.' Therefore, option D is the correct answer.

You-Language: Dad, you embarrass me when you tell jokes to my friends. I-Language: 3. You-Language: When you are late, you make me wonder if I should trust you with more responsibilities. I-Language: 4. You-Language: When you wear that suit and those sunglasses, you look like you're in the FBI. I-Language:
Answer:
1. I - language: I am unhappy that you refuse to take the trash out. Please, help me make things easier. Be more compassionate.
2. I - language: Dad, i feel awkward and stupid when you make jokes about me to my friends. Would you consider stopping it, please?
3. I - language: I am concerned whenever you stay out late. I worry a lot and fear for the worst. Could you be more responsible and inform me when you'll be late?
4. I - language: I do not think this outfit enhances your looks, people may find it a bit strange. You could give more thought to your sense of dressing next time.
Explanation:
A You-language are words that are used to imply that the listener is responsible or takes ownership of something and it usually starts with the pronoun 'you'. They are used to show blame, or to accuse the receiver.
An I-statement in contrast compels the speaker to take responsibility or ownership without shifting blame to the receiver. The speaker can still state his beliefs confidently but with compassion.
What does King compare to the unrecognized people who have been an
important part of making the civil rights movement happen?
O A. A journey around the world
B. The pilot of an airline
C. An airline's ground crew
D. A modern jet plane
Answer: C. An airline's ground crew
Explanation:
King compares the unrecognized people who have been an important part of making the civil rights movement happen to an airline's ground crew in option c, as a specific text or speech by Martin Luther King Jr.
Who is Martin Luther King?King often emphasized the importance of the collective effort and contributions of many people in the civil rights movement rather than solely focusing on the accomplishments of prominent figures or leaders. He recognized the efforts of ordinary people who participated in protests, boycotts, and other forms of activism, and he often highlighted the importance of grassroots organizing. Therefore, it is possible that the comparison being made in the prompt is between unrecognized people who contributed to the civil rights movement and a group of people who work behind the scenes to support a larger operation, such as an airline's ground crew.
Hence, King compares the unrecognized people who have been an important part of making the civil rights movement happen to an airline's ground crew in option c.

What biased news means?When news organizations and journalists choose which events and stories to report and how to cover them, this is known as media bias. Rather than the viewpoint of a single journalist or article, the phrase "media bias" suggests a systemic or widespread prejudice that violates the rules of journalism. There is much debate on the type and severity of media bias in different nations.
The impossibility of journalists reporting on all stories and information that are accessible and the demand that some facts be integrated into a cohesive narrative are two practical restrictions on media neutrality. In certain nations, including China, North Korea, Syria, and Myanmar, the media is biased due to government involvement, including overt and covert censorship.

Which theme is most likely conveyed in this passage?
O The humble are the mighty
Read the passage from the old Chinese fairy-tale "The Favorite of Fortune and the Child of Ill Luck.”
But the beggar found his fortune, and at length became emperor. He returned and stood before his wife. She however, no longer recognized him: She only knew that he was the powerful emperor.
He asked her how she were getting along. "Why do you ask me how I am getting along?” she replied. "I am too far beneath your notice.” "And who may your husband be?” "My husband was a beggar. He went away to seek his fortune. That was eighteen years ago, and he has not yet returned.” "And what have you done during all of those long years?” "I have been waiting for him to return.” "Do you wish to marry someone else, seeing that he has been missing for so long?” "No, I will remain his wife until I die!”
When the emperor saw how faithful his wife was, he told her who he was, had her clothed in magnificent garments, and took her with him to his imperial palace. Which theme is most likely conveyed in this passage? The humble are the mighty. Good things come to those who wait. Time enhances beauty. Hard work results in good fortune.
Answer:
The most likely conveyed theme in the passage is Good things come to those who wait.
Explanation:
From the excerpt, a poor beggar left his wife to seek his fortune. Luckily for him, fortune smiled on him and he became an emperor.
He was so transformed that when he returned and stood before his wife, his wife could not recognize him. He found out that his wife has been faithful to him all these years despite his absence for about eighteen years and she has been awaiting his return. He also asked her if she would wish to marry someone else but she said that she would remain his wife until she died.
When the emperor saw her faithfulness and loyalty, he revealed himself to her as her husband and took her away to his palace. This shows that good things come to those who wait.

An omniscient narrator is an all-knowing narrator who is aware of the thoughts and feelings of all the characters of the story. Omniscient narration usually applies to fiction rather than to drama. Keeping this idea in mind, how is the chorus different from a modern-day omniscient narrator?
Answer:
The chorus in Antigone differs in a key way from a modern-day omniscient narrator. Unlike an omniscient narrator, the chorus is not an all-knowing entity. Instead, it learns what happens next in the plot of the play along with the audience.

The chorus only knows what the audience knows, and when the audience learns it, instead of a chorus that knows all thoughts and feelings.

Read this inference: "Sherlock Holmes was expecting something to appear on this moor." What detail from the passage best supports this inference?
A.His eyes bulged out when he saw the hound coming.
B.His face was pale in the moonlight.
C.He concluded someone had cunningly prepared the phosphorus.
D.When he first hears the moor's silence broken, he was exultant.
Answer:
I believe the detail that best supports the inference is:
D. When he first hears the moor's silence broken, he was exultant.
Explanation:
The inference states that Holmes was expecting something to appear on the moor. If he was expecting it, he would probably be happy, excited to hear a noise, since it would be proof that he was right, that something was indeed going to show up. That's why the detail "When he first hears the moor's silence broken, he was exultant" is the best to support such inference. It mentions Holmes's reaction - a reaction that confirms his expectation. Had he not expected anything to appear, he would not have been exultant, but would have been scared or surprised instead.

Back when segregation was still a lot more common and accepted, Jackie Robinson made history by becoming the first black baseball player in the Major Leagues. Although this was a huge accomplishment, not all people believed Robinson deserved it.
