Which claim does the sentence “Teach English and play with children in local orphanages by day and enjoy the sights and new friends by night” support?
The claims are talking about “voluntouring” if I am correct. One side of the argument will be how voluntouring does more harm than good. The other side will promote voluntouring. Your sentence supports the claim that people should voluntour.
Answer:
Volunteers can have fun while helping others. I say this because its saying that you can "play with children," and "enjoy the sights and new friends by night." It's basically saying that you may work had and have fun while your at it.

The purpose of Swift’s satires is to
Answer: call attention to the problems that were being experienced by the people of Ireland
Final answer:
Jonathan Swift's satires use humor and exaggeration to criticize societal flaws and injustices, aiming to provoke reflection and change. Through works like ‘Gulliver’s Travels’ and ‘A Modest Proposal,’ Swift highlights societal absurdities, inciting readers to question their beliefs and behaviors.
Explanation:
The purpose of Swift’s satires, such as ‘Gulliver’s Travels’ and ‘A Modest Proposal,’ is to use humor, exaggeration, and ridicule to expose and criticize follies, vices, and absurdities of society, often targeting political institutions, societal norms, and human behavior. Swift masterfully employs satire as a literary technique to encourage his readers to reflect on societal issues, question their beliefs, and consider changes. For example, by presenting the outrageous idea of eating children to solve economic problems in ‘A Modest Proposal,’ Swift not only mocks heartless attitudes towards the poor but also forces the audience to confront their own complicity in societal injustices.
Swift's satirical works prompt reflection and debate among readers by presenting exaggerated scenarios that mirror reality closely enough to be recognizable and thought-provoking. The effectiveness of his satire lies in its ability to entertain while simultaneously delivering a serious message, making his audiences laugh at absurdities that point to deeper truths. Swift carefully crafts his satire, ensuring the narrative remains credible and natural, engaging readers without lecturing, thereby leaving the critical analysis for the reader to undertake.

Excerpt from Battling Cancer: One Woman's Journey
Tracy Wilson
1 Julianne had never given much thought to cancer before one dismal Monday morning last April. The dawn clouds were gray and heavy, and it looked as though it might rain at any second as Julianne meandered to the mailbox at the end of the lawn. As she opened the box, the rusty hinge made a screech much like someone scraping fingernails across a blackboard. The news Julianne received in a postcard that day was much more unnerving. It was simply stated: "Miss Taylor, please call our office to schedule a follow-up appointment as soon as possible. Tests from your annual physical examination have revealed an abnormality." "Abnormality?" Julianne questioned. What kind of abnormality could a 24-year-old woman, who exercised religiously and consumed a healthy diet, possibly have? Within hours she learned the answer to this question only to pose a thousand more in its place.
The main idea of section one is that Julianne received some upsetting news. Which detail from section one supports this main idea?
A) The bad weather was upsetting to Julianne.
B) The postcard referred to abnormal test results.
C) The postcard stated Julianne must come in for additional tests.
D) Julianne was upset that private information was on the postcard.
Answer:
B) The postcard referred to abnormal test results.
Explanation:
This detail supports the main idea that Julianne received upsetting news. The last three sentences of section one support this answer choice.
Answer:
B) The postcard referred to abnormal test results.
Explanation:
As the weather wasn´t great, and the day wasn´t going too good, she still had the mood for a good day, but what upset her the most, and when her mind started to fly and imagine possibilities is when she reads that the postcard that she received said that the annual physical examination revealed an abnormality, that´s when she starts to get upset
""Abnormality?" Julianne questioned. What kind of abnormality could a 24-year-old woman, who exercised religiously and consumed a healthy diet, possibly have?"
When she recriminates this to the universe you can clearly see that she is upset, that is why the answer is "b".
which best describes how ancient myths use personification?
humans often attempt to challenge or deceive the gods
Gods make decisions that have effects on the natural world
humans may be punished by gods for being disobedient
gods embody abstract Concepts and natural phenomena
Ancient myths use personification by attributing human qualities or forms to gods, abstract concepts, and natural phenomena.
Explanation:Ancient myths use personification by attributing human qualities or forms to gods, abstract concepts, and natural phenomena. This literary device helps to make these elements more relatable and understandable to humans. For example, Greek gods had human-like qualities and were represented as perfectly formed humans in visual art. In Mesopotamian myths, gods acted on human impulses like anger and lust.
Final answer:
Ancient myths use personification to give human qualities to deities, representing forces of nature and abstract concepts, as seen in both Mesopotamian and Greek myths.
Explanation:
Ancient myths often employ personification to embody abstract concepts and natural phenomena through gods and other divine characters. In Mesopotamian and Greek cultures, deities were rendered with human emotions and qualities despite representing forces of nature or ideological concepts. For instance, in Mesopotamian mythology, gods like Enlil personify natural disasters, whereas, in Greek mythology, figures like Themis and represent justice. These myths provided humans with a worldview that integrated the divine with the natural world, a process that shaped both religion and society.

It is not for your health thus to commit
Your weak condition to the raw cold morning.
PORTIA. Nor for yours neither. You’ve ungently, Brutus,
Stole from my bed; and yesternight at supper
You suddenly arose, and walked about
Musing and sighing, with your arms across,
And when I asked you what the matter was,
You stared upon me with ungentle looks.
I urged you further; then you scratched your head,
And too impatiently stamped with your foot.
Yet I insisted, yet you answered not,
But with an angry wafture of your hand
Gave sign for me to leave you. So I did,
Fearing to strengthen that impatience
Which seemed too much enkindled, and withal
Hoping it was but an effect of humour,
Which sometime hath his hour with every man.
It will not let you eat, nor talk, nor sleep,
And could it work so much upon your shape
As it hath much prevailed on your condition,
I should not know you, Brutus. Dear my lord,
Make me acquainted with your cause of grief.
BRUTUS. I am not well in health, and that is all.

C) Portia is offended that Brutus waved her away with an angry hand.
D) Brutus is very sick, and Portia is worried that he will die if he does not eat or sleep.
