Which two statements best identify the main themes of the passage

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Knowledge is gained by risks.

Knowledge is quick but risky.

Explanation:

The passage is taken from "By the waters of Babylon" which is a short story written by Stephen Vincent Benet in 1937. The theme of the story is that people hunt for their food and bows their priest. The knowledge in the world is gained by taking risks. Knowledge can be attained too fast but reliability is questioned. It is better to gain knowledge little by little and slowly to absorb the truth of knowledge and process the data in the brain.

Dear Sam,

Mrs. Anna's class and I were going to the local zoo when something unusual happened. We had just gotten done eating some food at the café and some girls wanted to go look at the dusk monkeys. Anyways, we're all looking at monkeys when we see a tiger. Well, yes its a zoo you see animals all the time. But this Bengal tiger was out of its cage. It also had a chicken in its mouth. This Bengal Tiger was also loose. Everyone in the class including Mrs. Anna started freaking out because they thought the tiger was going to eat them too or something. A few minutes later, zoo keepers came by and shot the tiger with a tranquillizer and hauled it back to its cage. Apparently a section of the cage had a space big enough for Cassie the tiger to get out. We're all safe now!

Can someone write a 7-10 sentence letter on a person who should have a national holiday, doesn't matter who, just something descriptive please:)

Answers

I think the person who should have a holiday would be Harriet Tubman. She helped free slaves and brought courage to many people. She should be recognized for what she did even though she knew something could happen to her. She showed great courage and responsibility for helping free the people who shouldn’t have been slaves in the first place. If she had a national holiday we could learn more about what she did and her legacy. We could learn all about how her courage and her act of responsibility changed the world for the better. This would also help children and anyone who learns about her posses some of her characteristics and try to help out around her community for a better change

What is William Lloyd Garrison's main purpose in this excerpt from his speech "No Compromise with the Evil of Slavery"? The reason why the South rules, and the North falls prostrate in servile terror, is simply this: with the South, the preservation of slavery is paramount to all other considerations above party success, denominational unity, pecuniary interest, legal integrity, and constitutional obligation. With the North, the preservation of the Union is placed above all other things above honor, justice, freedom, integrity of soul, the Decalogue and the Golden Rule the infinite God himself. All these she is ready to discard for the Union. Her devotion to it is the latest and the most terrible form of idolatry.

After falling into debt, he fled his creditors by stowing away on an expedition carrying supplies to the colony of San Sebastian, located on the coast of Urabá (now Colombia), in 1510.

which of the following best describes how lobo is portrayed overall in the text

Answers

Answer:

A. Prideful to the point of mocking his hunters.

Explanation:

Lobo, the King of Currumpaw is a debut story of Ernest Thompson Seton. The story is based on true incidents from Seton's life. The story predicates about a wolf named Lobo. Lobo used to reside in Currumpaw Valley, New Mexico.

In the 1890s, when Lobo and his pack of wolves were denied nutriment by settlers, they began to hunt on the livestock of settlers. The settlers tried to kill him but all in vain. Lobo was clever to the point that he would mock his hunters.

Seton shares one incidence when he tried to poison Lobo and his pack, and Lobo piled his poisonous baits and defacted the piles as a sign of mockery on his hunters.

So, one can state that Lobo is portrayed as pideful to the point of mocking his hunters.

What is subordinate clauses?

A subordinate clause is similar to an independent clause in that it too comprises a subject and a verb, but unlike an independent clause, it cannot stand alone. Subordinate clauses are connected to the main clause of a sentence but do not stand alone as complete sentences.

Subordinating words, also known as dependent words or subordinating/subordinate conjunctions, are words or short phrases used to begin these clauses. I went home because I was feeling sick, which is a subordinate clause.

The seven primary types of subordinating conjunctions are comparison, concession, condition, time, location, method, and reason.

Thus, the words are matched.

Like most narratives, this text immediately introduces the setting, characters, and conflict. Based on details in the first four paragraphs, what connects all three of these elements?

Answers

Answer:

I don't have access to the story your question refers to, but I can still help you to answer it for yourself.

Explanation:

The setting, characters, and conflict are essential elements that make a story meaningful.  

Inevitably one is connected to the other so that the story can unfold. Even to these elements we could also add the plot and the resolution.

The characters are the protagonists of a story. It is on them that the story that will be told will be based. The setting is the location, in time and space where everything will take place. Plot is the story proper, with a beginning, a middle, and an end. The conflict is what makes the story interesting. A story in which nothing happened would not attract the attention of readers.  And finally, resolution is the way in which the previous point is resolved.
