Questions
1. Which of the following BEST describes how Nick feels during dinner with the Buchanans?
a. Captivated and curious
b. Uncomfortable and overwhelmed
c. Jealous and skeptical
d. Enthralled and excited
2. Which piece of textual evidence BEST supports the answer to the above question?
a. “They [Daisy and Miss Baker] were here, and they accepted Tom and me, making only polite pleasant effort to entertain or be entertained. They knew that presently dinner would be over and a little later the evening, too, would be over and casually put away.”
b. “I am not even faintly like a rose. She [Daisy] was only extemporizing, but a stirring warmth flowed from her, as if her heart was trying to come out to you concealed in one of those breathless, thrilling words.”
c. “The telephone rang inside, startlingly...I was conscious of wanting to look squarely at every one, and yet to avoid all eyes...To a certain temperament the situation might have seemed intriguing--my own instinct was to telephone immediately for the police.”
d. “Daisy took her face in her hands as if feeling its lovely shape, and her eyes moved gradually out into the velvet dusk. I saw that turbulent emotions possessed her, so I asked what I thought would be some sedative questions about her little girl.”
3. Read the following excerpt describing the Valley of Ashes:
About half way between West Egg and New York the motor-road hastily joins the railroad and runs beside it for a quarter of a mile so as to shrink away from a certain desolate area of land. This is a valley of ashes—a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens, where ashes take the forms of houses and chimneys and rising smoke and finally, with a transcendent effort, of men who move dimly and already crumbling through the powdery air. Occasionally a line of grey cars crawls along an invisible track, gives out a ghastly creak and comes to rest, and immediately the ash-grey men swarm up with leaden spades and stir up an impenetrable cloud which screens their obscure operations from your sight. But above the grey land and the spasm of bleak dust which drift endlessly over it, you perceive, after a moment, the eyes of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg. The eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg are blue and gigantic—their retinas are one yard high … his eyes, dimmed a little by many paintless days under sun and rain, brood on over the solemn dumping ground. The valley of ashes is bounded on one side by a small foul river, and when the drawbridge is up to let barges through, the passenger on waiting trains can stare at the dismal scene for as long as half an hour. There is always a halt there of at least a minute and it was because of this that I first met Tom Buchanan’s mistress.
Which of the following BEST describes the mood of this excerpt?
a. Serious and somber
b. Frightening and mysterious
c. Dreary and depressing
d. Transcendent and obscure
Answer:
1-b. Nick is decidedly uncomfortable during the dinner and gives several indications of his awkward discomfort in the passage. First, he mentions the evening being over sooner than later. Then, the wringing of the telephone prompts in Nick a desire to phone the police. Finally, he is overwhelmed and uncomfortable by the presence of Daisy.
2-c. provides the best piece of textual evidence as it alludes to being both uncomfortable and overwhelmed.
3-c The excerpt is overwhelmingly dreary as everything is described in tones of grey and as a derivative of ashes. The only touch of color mentioned in the passage are the eyes of the doctor.
The mood is very depressing as even the smallest tasks are describes as arduous labors. Words that contribute to the bleak and dreary landscape are: ash-grey, desolate, grotesque, crumbling, ghastly, leaden, impenetrable cloud, obscure, and bleak.

I NEED HELP INSTANTLY Read this passage about seals and sea lions and then answer the question that follows:
From a distance, they both look like seals, but once you get up close you can actually see the difference. Seals and sea lions are both fish-loving mammals. Moreover, handy flippers propel them both through the water. But while seals have a tiny opening on the side of their heads, sea lions have actual earflaps. Furthermore, sea lions use their back flippers like feet to scoot along the beach. On the other hand, seals must wriggle and roll to get ahead. On the whole, when you visit a zoo or theme park, it's the honking, barking, funny sea lion you're likely to find playing to the crowds for fishy treats, earflaps and all.
In the passage about seals and sea lions, what is the purpose of the transition on the whole?

sometimes our friends unknowingly hurt or offemd others. sometimes we do not correct them out of fear of losing our friendship with them, do you think it is a correct atitude?
please answer this. this is from my english subject:)
Answer:
No, it is not a correct attitude, since what they said could be a lot worse than they thought, and if you say it to a certain person, it could really be rude. If you correct them, or tell them that what they said is rude, they would realise it and not say it again. If they dont care that it is rude, or if they get made at you for telling them, they arn't thinking correctly and you should just let them think about it. They will realise what they said/did was wrong, and they wont be mad at you anymore. :)

There are several little rehearsals of actions before the major performances, such as Polonius spying on Hamlet and Ophelia as a prelude to the later scene in Gertrude’s room, and Hamlet rehearsing the players for their evening performance as prelude to the court performance. Can Hamlet’s impulse to kill Claudius as he prays be seen as a prelude to his killing Polonius? In each prelude, the concerns of the characters, and the language in which they express these concerns, prevent serious consequences. Explain how the circumstances in the major performances act upon the characters to produce violently different language and dire results.
It is not only the impossible work which is laid upon Hamlet, nor his capability to execute the entrusted duty, nor his flaw in his character which accounts for his failure but also external difficulties to a certain extent account for it. He kills Polonius inadvertently and gives a chance to Claudius, his antagonist to conceive plans against him.
write the things you like and dislike about village life long answer
Many families decide to live in a town because it is quieter, because there are more landscapes full of nature and perhaps also, because it is cheaper than living in the middle of the city. It seems that living in a town are all advantages, But when you have a child that you have to raise and educate in the schools in the area and surrounded by people who have always lived in a town, does it really have advantages or disadvantages? Or maybe both?
Villagers get abundant opportunity to enjoy the beautiful gifts of nature.
People living in villages breathes pure air.
People living in villages are more healthier, active, and simpler in habits than the the people living in towns.
The quiet and peace of village life give opportunities for thought, study, and mental development, which are impossible in town life.
The abundance on pine air, and the more healthy conditions of life, also establishes physical health and strength as town life can never do.
How do social conventions and expectations play a role in the events of act 3 with lovborg?
Give at least three examples. What do
these examples say about the society in which the play is set? Your answer should be at least 250 words.
Answer:
It might be said that social convention were really marked and important at that time (1890's), the role of the women was very limited and they were supposed to follow and respond to men's decisions. Hedda seems to be socially repressed and she had a good social and economic position. However, in this act she seems to transcend social limits by being authoritative and demanding. She appears to be in control of the situation without following any men. In fact, she even manipulates and commands people around her, both man like Lovborg and woman like Thea.
