Answer:
Passage 1
Explanation:
An expository essay is an essay that is meant to explain, illustrate or clarify a topic in a straightforward way so it becomes clear to the readers.
This can be accomplished by using comparison, contrast, definition, use of examples and using the concept of cause and effect.
As the name suggests, what it does is to expose. It is meant to educate the reader.
The first passage is an expository text because it uses description to educate the readers on the weather.
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. Even the expression is impious, for so unlimited a power can belong only to GOD. The author's purpose in writing this passage is
Answer:
The purpose of author to write this passage was to awaken the patriotism in the heart of his audience.
Explanation:
'The Crisis, Number 1' is a commentary written by Thomas Paine in 1776. The commentary was read before his audience on December 23, 2020. The purpose of writing the commentary was to inculcate the heart of patriotism and to encourage Americans to fight against British tyranny.
In his commentary, he outlined several obstacles that they had and he also desired to unite the colonies for the fight against British tyranny.
In this excerpt, Thomas is stating the difference between a summer soldier and a true patriot. A summer soldier is assigned only for a period but a true soldier fights even in the harshest winter. The essay is considered as one of the most apt persuasive essay, as Paine has vividly tried to persuade his audience.

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.

Which two sentences in this excerpt from Emmuska Orczy's The Scarlet Pimpernel show the perspective that the French Revolution was barbaric?
A surging, seething, murmuring crowd of beings that are human only in name, for to the eye and ear they seem naught but savage creatures, animated by vile passions and by the lust of vengeance and of hate. The hour, some little time before sunset, and the place, the West Barricade, at the very spot where, a decade later, a proud tyrant raised an undying monument to the nation's glory and his own vanity. During the greater part of the day the guillotine had been kept busy at its ghastly work: all that France had boasted of in the past centuries, of ancient names, and blue blood, had paid toll to her desire for liberty and for fraternity. The carnage had only ceased at this late hour of the day because there were other more interesting sights for the people to witness, a little while before the final closing of the barricades for the night. And so the crowd rushed away from the Place de la Greve and made for the various barricades in order to watch this interesting and amusing sight. It was to be seen every day, for those aristos were such fools! They were traitors to the people of course, all of them, men, women, and children, who happened to be descendants of the great men who since the Crusades had made the glory of France: her old NOBLESSE. Their ancestors had oppressed the people, had crushed them under the scarlet heels of their dainty buckled shoes, and now the people had become the rulers of France and crushed their former masters—not beneath their heel, for they went shoeless mostly in these days—but a more effectual weight, the knife of the guillotine.

A Transcendentalist would say that religion is a way for a person's soul to connect with the Divine Spirit.
True
False
Answer:
If you were to be open-minded and view/interprets all religions as viable options then yes. However, if one is closed-minded to anything outside their religion or beliefs they are severely limiting themselves from the spirit.
Explanation:
This is because the soul grows from learning experiences and this can be done faster and easier if one's mind is open and desire for wisdom is burning.
A state of being that has beyond the constraints of physical existence and, by some definitions, has also become independent of it is known as transcendence in religious experience. Thus, it is true.
What person's soul to connect with the Divine Spirit?One must be open-minded and believe that all religions are legitimate. However, if one has a closed mind to anything that is not a part of their beliefs or worldview, they are severely restricting their access to the spirit.
Transcendence is the component of a deity's nature and power that is beyond all accepted physical principles and wholly unrelated to the material realm. In contrast, immanence maintains that a deity is fully accessible to animals in many ways because they are present in the physical world to the fullest extent possible.
This is because learning experiences aid in the expansion of the soul, and this can occur more quickly and readily if one has an open mind and a strong thirst for knowledge.
Therefore, it is true that A Transcendentalist would say that religion is a way for a person's soul to connect with the Divine Spirit.

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.
