Which is an example of dramatic irony in Act V, scene iii of Romeo and Juliet? Romeo thought Juliet was dead when he poisoned himself, but the audience knew she was alive. Balthasar agreed to deliver Romeo's letter, and the audience knew the contents of the letter. Juliet knew Romeo was dead when she awakened, and the audience knew that she was correct. Friar Laurence thought his plan would help Romeo and Juliet, but the audience knew he had evil intentions.
Answer:
Why is Act IV, Scene V an example of dramatic irony?

Read this excerpt from "The All-American Slurp." I pulled the strings out of my stalk. Z-z-zip, z-z-zip. My brother followed suit. Z-z-zip, z-z-zip. To my left, my parents were taking care of their own stalks. Z-z-zip, z-z-zip, z-z-zip. Suddenly I realized that there was dead silence except for our zipping. Looking up, I saw that the eyes of everyone in the room were on our family. Mr. and Mrs. Gleason, their daughter Meg, who was my friend, and their neighbors the Badels—they were all staring at us as we busily pulled the strings of our celery.

Identify the complete subject in the following sentence. The hungry bear searched for food at the campsite.
A. bear
B. searched for food at the campsite
C. The hungry bear
D. searched
Answer:
C. The hungry bear
Explanation:
The complete subject is the part of the sentence to which the verb refers, ie, who or what the sentence is talking about. In other words, the complete subject is the one who completed the action of the verb. The complete subject usually appears before the predicate, which is the direct order of the sentence. The questions who? what? made before the verb, facilitate the identification of the subject. In the sentence "The hungry bear searched for food at the campsite." the verb is the word "searched", so we can ask the question "who searched?" to find the complete subject. When we ask this question we will know that, according to the phrase, the one who searched food at camp was the hungry bear, so "the hungry bear" is the complete subject of that phrase.

Explanation:
Read the passage.
During the whole of a dull, dark, and soundless day in the autumn of the year, when the clouds hung oppressively low in the heavens, I had been passing alone, on horseback, through a singularly dreary tract of country, and at length found myself, as the shades of evening drew on, within view of the melancholy House of Usher. I know not how it was—but, with the first glimpse of the building, a sense of insufferable gloom pervaded my spirit . . . In this excerpt from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher,"
What mood do these lines evoke in the reader?
A.one of serenity
B. one of hostility
C. one of terror
D. one of bleakness
The mood evoked by the passage from Edgar Allan Poe's 'The Fall of the House of Usher' is one of bleakness due to the use of gloomy and dismal descriptions.
In the excerpt from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher," the mood evoked in the reader is one of bleakness. The descriptions of the "dull, dark, and soundless day," the "low" clouds, and the "melancholy House of Usher" combined with the narrator's feelings of an "insufferable gloom" and "utter depression of soul" contribute to a mood that is oppressively dismal and devoid of hope or cheerfulness. The passage does not evoke serenity, hostility, or terror, but rather a deep and penetrating sadness and gloom.
How are Millay's "Spring" and Kummings's "Spring is like a perhaps hand" similar? (humming is actually with a C it wouldn't let me post the question if i didn't change it)
Answer:
(A) They both portray spring as a person decorating.
Explanation:
"Spring" is written by Edna St. Vincent Millay, while "Spring is like a perhaps hand" is written by E. E. Kummings (officially with C not a K).
The two poems describe how spring is a person, through Kummings described it as people who are arranging things, while Millay described it as a a naive person throwing around flowers.
The two tones of the poems are also very different, with Millay's being more sardonic in tone. Kummings also uses a third-person omniscient perspective when writing the poem, while Millay wrote in first person, writing a letter to April, which personifies Spring.

In "Interview with Simon Ortiz," Ortiz speaks about Native American people before and after the European colonization of North America:
Native American people, before the European colonization of this country, were multilingual. They spoke not only their mother tongue but that of sister nations and cultures next to them. In the same sense Native American people speaking French, English, and Spanish after European colonization simply were another addition of other languages. Of course, that colonialism was in process makes a difference, obviously. Essentially, writing today is, in a sense, an acquisition of a language, extending the multilanguage ability-facility of Native American people.
How does Ortiz's word choice in this passage affect the text?
A) It explicitly proves his assertion that Native American people always employed both writing and the oral tradition.
B) It formally conveys his view that Native Americans were always particularly adept at learning new languages.
C) It casually suggests his opinion that the European colonization of North America amounted to an illegal occupation.
D) It subtly indicates his belief that the ability of Native Americans to learn new languages was hindered by European colonization.
I chose this (D)
YES because they were basically forced to learn a whole new language to be understand'd.

Deliver a speech that defends your claim about the validity of Kennedy's speech "Ich bin ein Berliner."
Answer:
The speech is considered one of Kennedy’s best, both a notable moment of the Cold War and a high point of the New Frontier. It was a great morale boost for West Berliners, who lived in an enclave deep inside East Germany and feared a possible East German occupation. Speaking from a platform erected on the steps of Rathaus Schöneberg for an audience of 450,000, Kennedy said: Two thousand years ago, the proudest boast was civis romanus sum [“I am a Roman citizen”]. Today, in the world of freedom, the proudest boast is “Ich bin ein Berliner!“… All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin, and therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words “Ich bin ein Berliner!”. Kennedy used the phrase twice in his speech, including at the end, pronouncing the sentence with his Boston accent and reading from his note “ish bin ein Bearleener”, which he had written out using English spelling habits to indicate an approximation of the German pronunciation. Another phrase in the speech was also spoken in German, “Lass’ sie nach Berlin kommen” (“Let them come to Berlin”), addressed at those who claimed “we can work with the Communists”. While the immediate response from the West German population was positive, the Soviet authorities were less pleased with the combative Lass sie nach Berlin kommen. Only two weeks before, Kennedy had spoken in a more conciliatory tone, speaking of “improving relations with the Soviet Union”: in response to Kennedy’s Berlin speech, Nikita Khrushchev, days later, remarked that “one would think that the speeches were made by two different Presidents”.

For my project, "Analyze a Formal Essay", I chose to read an article, "Polluted waterways help fuel drug resistance in bacteria" by Carolyn Wilke. There are three reasons why this article is considered a formal essay. First, it focuses on one topic presented in the thesis statement and does not stray from the topic at any point. Second, the article strictly uses third-person pronouns, it does not at any point use first or second person pronouns. Third of all, the author does not present any emotion or personal opinion. The essay presents facts and ideas with critical evaluation, arguing a point and analyzing it in detail. It is clear at the beginning of the article that the authors goal is to explain and inform. The article starts of with its thesis statement stating “In a massive survey of rivers across 72 countries, researchers found antibiotics at 66 percent of 711 sites sampled. Many of the most drug-polluted waterways were in Asia and Africa, where there hadn’t been much data until now.” It then continues to explain further the effects this has on the public and what this could mean in the future.

Which sentence is an oxymoron?
A. To have peace, we must go to war.
B. A glass can be viewed as either half full or half empty.
C. The lawyer was deceptively honest with his clients.
D. Spies do not dress like spies.
E. Though the lab was messy, there was a method to his madness.
The correct answer is C. The lawyer was deceptively honest with his clients.
Explanation:
An oxymoron is a literary device in which two concepts that are contradictory by nature are put together, usually in the same sentence or by placing one beside the other. This is commonly used to include paradox and create a deeper sense. In the case of "The lawyer was deceptively honest with his clients" this is the only sentence from the options given that contains an oxymoron, because the words "deceptively honest" are contradictory and also this are place together to describe the attitude of the lawyer which also derives into a paradox as being honest means saying the truth but being deceptive is the opposite.
Final answer:
The sentence that is an oxymoron is 'The lawyer was deceptively honest with his clients,' making it the correct answer (C), as it pairs contradictory terms 'deceptively' and 'honest.'
Explanation:
The sentence that is an oxymoron is C. The lawyer was deceptively honest with his clients. An oxymoron is a figure of speech that combines two contradictory terms. In this case, 'deceptively' and 'honest' are two opposing terms because deception implies dishonesty, whereas honesty implies truthfulness. Thus, combining them creates an oxymoron, where the two words seem to cancel each other out or produce a paradoxical effect. None of the other sentences, A, B, D, and E, use contradictory terms in close conjunction as required for an oxymoron.

Which statements summarize Justice Brown's message? Check all that apply. Separation does not necessarily create inequality. Separation implies inferiority. Laws that permit separation can be constitutional. The law cannot permit separation to occur. Separation always creates inferiority.
Answer:
1- Separation does not necessarily create inequality.
2- Laws that permit separation can be constitutional.
Explanation:
1- Separate but equal was a legal doctrine in United States constitutional law, according to which racial segregation did not necessarily violate the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which guaranteed "equal protection" under the law to all people. Under the doctrine, as long as the facilities provided to each race were equal, state and local governments could require that services, facilities, public accommodations, housing, medical care, education, employment, and transportation be segregated by "race", which was already the case throughout the states of the former Confederacy. During the era of segregation, the myth was that the races were separated but were provided equal facilities. No one believed it. Almost without exception, black students were given inferior buildings and instructional materials.
2- Supreme Court's 1896 decision in Plessy v. Ferguson, in which the Court had ruled that racial segregation was not in itself a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause if the facilities in question were otherwise equal.

The Dust Bowl
During the 1930s, extreme drought and high winds made life incredibly difficult in the Great Plains region of the United States. In many areas, rainfall was forty percent less than normal. The soil became extremely dry, and when strong winds blew, they created tremendous dust storms. These so-called “black blizzards” were so thick that they made daylight seem like dusk. During this terrible period, the Great Plains region of the United States was named the “Dust Bowl.” Over the next few years, the drought continued, and the winds created more dust storms. In some places, the drought and high winds lasted for eight years. Many people wondered if the black blizzards would ever end.
Which statement about this paragraph’s main idea is true?
This paragraph’s main idea is stated in the topic sentence.
There are not enough details to support the main idea.
This paragraph’s main idea is implied.
This paragraph does not express a main idea.
The paragraph's main idea is stated in the topic sentence and provides ample details about the conditions of the Dust Bowl, the environmental impact, and the socioeconomic ramifications on the Great Plains during the 1930s.
Explanation:The paragraph’s main idea is indeed stated in the topic sentence. It introduces the topic of the Dust Bowl, explaining the harsh conditions of extreme drought and high winds that plagued the Great Plains during the 1930s, leading to massive dust storms that created difficulties for the people and the environment. This disaster was exacerbated by farming practices such as over-plowing, overproduction of crops, and failure to use sustainable agricultural techniques. This led to the land being stripped of its natural grasses and when combined with the severe drought, the remaining soil turned to dust and was easily swept away by winds.
The passage provides several supporting details that expand on the main idea, such as the rainfall being forty percent less than normal, the soil becoming extremely dry, and the duration of the drought and wind conditions. Additionally, the passage mentions the effects on people’s lives, such as wondering if the storms would ever end, and describes the environmental devastation that resulted from the dust storms. It illustrates the severity of the Dust Bowl by mentioning how dust storms were so thick they made daylight appear like dusk.
