Answer:
Here's your answer, hope it helps!
Explanation:
To think of time—of all that retrospection!
To think of to-day, and the ages continued henceforward!
Have you guess'd you yourself would not continue?
Have you dreaded these earth-beetles?
Have you fear'd the future would be nothing to you?
Is to-day nothing? Is the beginningless past nothing?
If the future is nothing, they are just as surely nothing.
To think that the sun rose in the east! that men and women
were flexible, real, alive! that everything was alive!
To think that you and I did not see, feel, think, nor bear our
part!
To think that we are now here, and bear our part!
2
Not a day passes—not a minute or second, without an
accouchement!
Not a day passes—not a minute or second, without a corpse!
The dull nights go over, and the dull days also,
The soreness of lying so much in bed goes over,
The physician, after long putting off, gives the silent and terrible
look for an answer,
The children come hurried and weeping, and the brothers and sisters
are sent for,
Medicines stand unused on the shelf—(the camphor-smell has
long pervaded the rooms,)
The faithful hand of the living does not desert the hand of the dying,
The twitching lips press lightly on the forehead of the dying,
The breath ceases, and the pulse of the heart ceases,
The corpse stretches on the bed, and the living look upon it,
It is palpable as the living are palpable.
The living look upon the corpse with their eye-sight,
But without eye-sight lingers a different living, and looks curiously
on the corpse.
3
To think the thought of Death, merged in the thought of materials!
To think that the rivers will flow, and the snow fall, and fruits ripen,
and act upon others as upon us now—yet not act upon us!
To think of all these wonders of city and country, and others taking
great interest in them—and we taking no interest in them!
To think how eager we are in building our houses!
To think others shall be just as eager, and we quite indifferent!
(I see one building the house that serves him a few years, or seventy
or eighty years at most,
I see one building the house that serves him longer than that.)
Slow-moving and black lines creep over the whole earth—they never
cease—they are the burial lines,
He that was President was buried, and he that is now President shall
surely be buried.
4
A reminiscence of the vulgar fate,
A frequent sample of the life and death of workmen,
Each after his kind:
Cold dash of waves at the ferry-wharf—posh and ice in the river,
half-frozen mud in the streets, a gray, discouraged sky overhead,
the short, last daylight of Twelfth-month,
A hearse and stages—other vehicles give place—the funeral
of an old Broadway stage-driver, the cortege mostly drivers.
Steady the trot to the cemetery, duly rattles the death-bell, the gate
is pass'd, the new-dug grave is halted at, the living alight, the
hearse uncloses,
The coffin is pass'd out, lower'd and settled, the whip is laid on the
coffin, the earth is swiftly shovel'd in,
The mound above is flatted with the spades—silence,
A minute—no one moves or speaks—it is done,
He is decently put away—is there anything more?
He was a good fellow, free-mouth'd, quick-temper'd, not bad-looking,
able to take his own part, witty, sensitive to a slight, ready with
life or death for a friend, fond of women, gambled, ate hearty,
drank hearty, had known what it was to be flush, grew low-spirited
toward the last, sicken'd, was help'd by a contribution, died, aged
forty-one years—and that was his funeral.
Thumb extended, finger uplifted, apron, cape, gloves, strap, wet-weather
clothes, whip carefully chosen, boss, spotter, starter, hostler,
somebody loafing on you, you loafing on somebody, headway, man before
and man behind, good day's work, bad day's work, pet stock, mean
stock, first out, last out, turning-in at night;
To think that these are so much and so nigh to other drivers—and
he there takes no interest in them!

I’m sure you’re aware of the components of a brilliant story: a riveting plot, interesting characters, and the resolution (or not) of the protagonist’s conflict. All of these comprise the what of the narrative.
The how is described through scenes and settings.
The scenes in your story are, in a nutshell, the chances that you have to leave a lasting impression with the reader. They portray the aesthetic of your tale; which is its single-most impactful element. People read stories not just to know what happens, but also to find out how it happens. These are just two sides of the same coin.
A fantastic plot twist excites and amuses the reader.
A well-described scene teleports them into the world you’ve created.
Creating a palpable setting requires effective communication. The way to do this is defined clearly in the final point of this article. However, powerful writing has more to do with avoiding mistakes rather than developing new skills. The first two points are about this.
Match the description to the type of pronoun.

Answer:
Explanation:
While it is true that banned books can contain information that could be helpfully, but there is probably a reason why its banned. People and especially children should not be exposed to information that is very violent to the point where its dangerous and may effect a person mentally. These books could as contain false information and may mislead people which could explain why its banned. These types of books sometimes usually contain inappropriate comments on sensitive topics
In this scene, what is Mercédès's attitude toward the marriage customs of her culture?
She obeys the marriage laws of her culture even when they make her unhappy.
She uses the customs of her culture as an excuse to avoid marrying Fernand.
She freely follows her culture's marriage customs without a sense of conflict.
She does not feel bound to strictly obey her culture's marriage customs.
Read the passage.
excerpt from The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas
"You see, Mercédès," said the young man, "here is Easter come round again; tell me, is this the moment for a wedding?"
"I have answered you a hundred times, Fernand, and really you must be very s**pid to ask me again."
"Well, repeat it,—repeat it, I beg of you, that I may at last believe it! Tell me for the hundredth time that you refuse my love, which had your mother's sanction. Make me understand once for all that you are trifling with my happiness, that my life or death are nothing to you. Ah, to have dreamed for ten years of being your husband, Mercédès, and to lose that hope, which was the only stay of my existence!"
"At least it was not I who ever encouraged you in that hope, Fernand," replied Mercédès; "you cannot reproach me with the slightest coquetry. I have always said to you, 'I love you as a brother; but do not ask from me more than sisterly affection, for my heart is another's.' Is not this true, Fernand?"
"Yes, that is very true, Mercédès," replied the young man, "Yes, you have been cruelly frank with me; but do you forget that it is among the Catalans a sacred law to intermarry?"
"You mistake, Fernand; it is not a law, but merely a custom, and, I pray of you, do not cite this custom in your favor. You are included in the conscription, Fernand, and are only at liberty on sufferance, liable at any moment to be called upon to take up arms. Once a soldier, what would you do with me, a poor orphan, forlorn, without fortune, with nothing but a half-ruined hut and a few ragged nets, the miserable inheritance left by my father to my mother, and by my mother to me? She has been dead a year, and you know, Fernand, I have subsisted almost entirely on public charity. Sometimes you pretend I am useful to you, and that is an excuse to share with me the produce of your fishing, and I accept it, Fernand, because you are the son of my father's brother, because we were brought up together, and still more because it would give you so much pain if I refuse. But I feel very deeply that this fish which I go and sell, and with the produce of which I buy the flax I spin,—I feel very keenly, Fernand, that this is charity."
Your answer is: She does not feel bound to strictly obey her culture's marriage customs.
The excerpt shown above belongs to the book "The Count of Monte Cristo" which tells the story of Dante, a man who spent 13 years unfairly imprisoned in the prison on the island.
Dante was the great love of Mercedes' life, which is presented in the excerpt above, in an argument with Ferdinand, her cousin, about marriage and love.
Ferdinand is in love with Mercedes and her family supports that they stay together, in addition, it is a cultural custom that cousins are married in their country. For this reason, Ferdinand reinforces the idea that he and Mercedes should marry. But Mercedes doesn't feel obligated to obey this cultural custom regarding marriage if she doesn't feel love for the groom and she doesn't feel love for Ferdinand, as shown in the excerpt.

Which detail shows a foreshadowing structure in the text?
A Day's Lodging
by Jack London (adapted excerpt)
He urged the dogs to their work again. He had travelled on the frozen surface of a great river. Behind him it stretched away in a mighty curve of many miles, losing itself in
a fantastic jumble of mountains, snow-covered and silent. Ahead of him the river split into many channels to accommodate the freight of islands it carried on its breast.
These islands were silent and white; no animals nor humming insects broke the silence; no birds flew in the chill air. There was no sound of man, nor mark of the
handiwork of man---the world slept.
John Messner seemed succumbing to the apathy of it all as the frost was benumbing his spirit. He plodded on with bowed head, unobservant, mechanically rubbing nose
and cheeks, and batting his steering hand against the gee-pole in the straight trail-stretches. But the dogs were observant, and suddenly they stopped, turning their heads
and looking back at their master out of eyes that were wistful and questioning. Their eyelashes were frosted white, as were their muzzles, and they had all the seeming of
decrepit old age, what of the frost-rime and exhaustion.

Answer:
The correct text in the passage which details a foreshadowing structure is
"There was no sound of man, nor a mark of the handiwork of man---the world slept."
Explanation:
Foreshadowing in literature refers to the hint at an impending problem, happenstance, or sudden change or turn of events.
Writers usually achieve this via the dialogue between characters', comments by the narrator which. Sometimes the narrator can make reference to a prophecy. A prophecy can also be put forward using one of the characters.
In this case, the foreshadowing came via the narrator.
Notice from the excerpt that it starts by saying "he (John Messner) urged the dogs to their work again.
He (the traveler, John Mesner) must have been in transit from to or from the lodging, using a sled driven by dogs for this was hinted at in the opening sentence of the excerpt.
Fast forward to sentence 6, the narrator states "There was no sound of man, no mark of the handiwork of man---the world slept."
If there was no sound of a man... that must have included the traveler either at the time when the observation was made or much later in the actual occurrence when the dogs, observant, suddenly stopped, turning heads and looked back at their masters mournfully. [See sentence 9]

Which lines from the text best support this theme? "The wind that carried west from Ilium brought me to Ismarus, on the far shore, a strongpoint on the coast of Cicones. I stormed that place and killed the men who fought." "I drove them, all three wailing, to the ships, tied them down under their rowing benches, and called the rest: All hands aboard; come, clear the beach and no one taste the Lotus, or you lose your hope of home." He drew to his fist the cruel head of an arrow for Antinous just as the young man leaned to lift his beautiful drinking cup, embossed, two-handled, golden: the cup was in his fingers: the wine was even at his lips: and did he dream of death? "Spare your own people. As for ourselves, we'll make restitution of wine and meat consumed, and add, each one, a tithe of twenty oxen with gifts of bronze and gold to warm your heart."
Answer:
"I drove them, all three wailing, to the ships, tied them down under their rowing benches, and called the rest: All hands aboard; come, clear the beach and no one taste the Lotus, or you lose your hope of home."
Explanation:
Homer's "The Odyssey" is an epic narrative about the journey of Odysseus and his men after the Battle of Troy, returning to their home in Ithaca. But the journey would take decades before they could set foot on the island, encountering mortals and gods along the way, who will pose as obstructions to their journey.
One characteristic of a leader is that a good leader takes responsibility for those in their charge. This theme is also found in this epic in the character of Odysseus when he marched the men he had sent to survey the land of the Lotus-eaters. When they failed to return safely back to the ship, courtesy of the Lotus that they were offered, Odysseus decided to deal with it on his own. So, he brought the men back and took them to the ship, ensuring that they are safely tied to the deck, and sailed out of that place before more of his men succumb to the lotus.
Thus, the correct answer that best supports the theme of such leadership quality is "I drove them, all three wailing, to the ships, tied them down under their rowing benches, and called the rest: All hands aboard; come, clear the beach and no one taste the Lotus, or you lose your hope of home."

QUESTION 2 You must answer this question. Write your answer in 125-150 words in an appropriate style. Your class has been discussing various sports. Your class teacher asked you to write an essay why sports and games are important in a student's life. In your essay, you should write about: The types of sports and games in your school • Reasons why sports and games is essential • Which sports and games would benefit you. Write your essay using all the notes given and giving reasons for your point of view
Answer:
Sports play an important part in a student's life due to numerous reasons.
There are many sports and games that take place in our school. The most popular sport at our school is Basketball. Apart from Basketball, students here play football, tennis, badminton, hockey, cricket and swimming.
Sports are important for students as they keep them physically fit. Health is wealth, and they cannot succeed without being in a good physical condition. Sports also allow students to relax their mind, away from the normal school subjects. Sports are a way of recreation. Sports also help build a better character in a student as they learn important skills such as team work and leadership.
Personally I believe swimming would benefit me the most as it uses all parts of the body. I find swimming very relaxing and fun. It is a good way to maintain my fitness, while relaxing at the same time. Basketball would also be a benefit to me, as it would help me develop team work skills.
It can be concluded that sports are very important for students.

Required
Complete the gaps
(a) Flying cars ......... more popular in the future (be)
The sentence here refers to what will happen at a later time. However, the statement is an imagination of what is to happen and not what will happen.
So, the blank will be completed with would be.
"would be", as used, means flying cars will most like be popular.
(b) The next train ......... at 9a.m (leave)
The sentence here refers to what will happen at a later time; and it is certain that the event will happen.
So, the blank will be completed with will be.
"will be", as used, means the train will definitely leave once it's 9am.
(c) Don't visit me next month.........! I........ In Greece. (travel)
Here, we have two blanks.
The first will be completed with "I will be travelling" as implied with the word in bracket.
The second statement supports the first; and it shows where the person would be, "next month"
So, we complete the statement with "I will be"
