The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells
But, looking, I presently saw something stirring within the
shadow. Then something resembling a little gray snake,
about the thickness of a walking stick, coiled up out of the
writhing middle and wriggled in the air toward me - and
then another.
The War of the Worlds (radio broadcast) by Orson Welles
Good heavens, something's wriggling out of the shadow
like a gray snake. Now it's another one, and another. They
look like tentacles to me.
Which sentence best describes the tone of the passage from the book
compared to the passage from the radio broadcast?
A. The book has an angrier tone
B. The book has a more surprised tone,
C. The book has a scarier tone
D. The book has a more matter-of-fact tone.

Answers

Answer 1

The book has a more matter-of-fact tone, is the sentence best describes the tone of the passage from the book compared to the passage from the radio broadcast. Hence, option B is correct.

What is the concept of passage?

The tense used in a literary narrative has an impact on its mood and the reader's understanding of what is happening. In the issue at hand, a passage from The War of the Worlds was converted to the present tense during the radio adaptation process. In all instances, the narrator, who is also one of the characters, tells how he or she saw something that looked like a snake.

While the second excerpt uses present tense to indicate that the character is actually experiencing the events, the first excerpt uses past tense to indicate that this incident already happened, and the character is merely recounting it.

Thus, option B is correct.

Explanation:

The parenthetical punctuation are: Dashes is the first one, commas is the second and parentheses is the third one.

What do you mean by punctuation?

Punctuation is the use of white space, traditional signals, and specific typographical elements to help readers understand and interpret written material correctly, whether they are reading it silently or loudly.

"It is the practice, action, or system of adding points or other small marks into texts to facilitate understanding; segmentation of text into phrases, clauses, etc., by means of such marks," is another definition.

Punctuation in written English is essential for clarifying sentence meaning. For instance, the phrases "woman without her man is nothing" and "woman without her man is nothing," as well as "eats shoots and leaves" and "eats, shoots and leaves," have completely different meanings.

The earliest writing systems were either syllabic or logographic, such as Chinese and Mayan script, which do not always require punctuation, especially spacing.

This is because space does not always clearly show where one word ends and another begins because the full morpheme or word is often contained within a single symbol.

List at least THREE ways Macduff and Macbeth are the same. List at least THREE ways they are opposites. Explain your reasoning.

Answers

Answer:

Maduff and Macbeth

Similarities

1. They are both vengeful.

Macbeth plots revenge for Macduff because he refuses to be loyal to him, and in the process, he murders his family.

Macduff after he learns of the brutal murder of his family, begins to plot his revenge against Macbeth.

2. They both have tunnel vision.

Macbeth is so singularly focused on becoming King that nothing else matters, he is blinded by the truth and believes the witches' prophecy implicitly.

Macduff is so blinded by his rage and quest for revenge against Macbeth that he is blinded to so many dangers.

3. They are both Lords of Scotland

Macduff and Macbeth are both Lords of Scotland. Macbeth is the honorable Thane of Glamis, Macduff is also a Thane of Fife.

Differences

1. Macduff is a loyal and honorable man, Macbeth is not.

Macduff is said to be a noble man that is loyal to Duncan and refuses to believe Macbeth's claim that Duncan was murdered by his servants.

Macbeth is no noble man and loyal to nobody unless he stands to gain something from it. He is also portrayed as power hungry and brutal

2. Macduff put his country and people first, Macbeth put himself and his interests first.

Macduff is described as a virtuous and honorable man who always puts his country and people first in whatever decision he wanted to take. He was a people pleaser.

Macbeth wanted to be wealthy and powerful and would do anything to get it, including murder. He always thought of himself first.

3. Macbeth was impatient, Macduff was not

In Macbeth's mad quest for power, he was very impatient and because of this he did not think things through before doing them. His impatience showed when he put a lot of faith in the prophecy of the witches and was desperate to be king.

Macduff by contrast was very patient and bade his time while plotting how to stop Macbeth from being King and also taking revenge.

In your opinion, would any high school students in today's society find Transcendentallst bellefs relevant? Support your
answer with examples from "Self-Rellance". Answers should be at least 150 words.

Answers

In my opinion, I believe that many high school students in today's society would find Transcendentalist beliefs relevant for a variety of reasons, on of the most prevalent of those being the idea of nonconformity and standing up for your beliefs. In today's society, teenagers tend to feel as though they are treated unfairly, having too much expected of them yet still being treated like children who cannot think or act for themselves. Because of this, I believe that the Transcendentalist ideals would resonate greatly with the high school students in today's society. One of the nonconformist statements in "Self-Reliance," that I believe the high school students of today would find particularly inspiring is, "Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist. He who would gather immortal palms must not be hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness. Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind."

B) Chimps studies were featured on television

C) Chimps remember numbers and enjoy puzzles

D) Chimps were studied by other researchers

Answers

The correct answer is C) Chimps remember numbers and enjoy puzzles

Explanation:

The purpose of an outline is to summarize the content of a text by stating the main idea and supporting details or information that explain this. In the case of the outline presented, the main idea is how the research by Jane Goodall changed the understanding of society about chips. Also, this outline presents two supporting details that show two findings that change the complexity of chips behavior; one is how chips form complex groups and how they have complex emotions.

According to this, the third supporting detail should be a characteristic of chips observed by Goodall that also changed the perception about them. Thus, the best option is "Chimps remember numbers and enjoy puzzles" because this is mentioned in the text "Later studies show that chips have number memory (they can remember numbers one through nine), and like humans enjoy doing puzzles for the fun of it" and also was one key finding that change the perception about chips.
