Demeter’s symbol is a spear?

Nope, usually a flower

Answer: Goddess Demeter's symbol is a TORCH

Explanation: Demeter is the goddess of the harvest and presides over grains and the fertility of the earth. Although she was most often referred to as the goddess of harvest, she was also goddess of sacred law and the cycle of life and death. ------> Demeter is shown carrying her torch symbolizing her eternal vigilance. She is often depicted with a serpent around each arm, holding three ears' of corn. She is carrying fruits of the harvest as a symbol of wealth and fertility and abundance of the earth.

Yup, so the correct answer is: torch neither flower nor spear. It talks all about her symbols and what she stands for.

I hope this helped you cuties as much as it helped me!

At A Nation's Crisis


By 1860, then, war was inevitable. Naturally, the conflict would at once present intricate military problems, and among them the retention of the Pacific Coast was of the deepest concern to the Union. Situated at a distance of nearly two thousand miles from the Missouri River which was then the nation's western frontier, this intervening space comprised trackless plains, almost impenetrable ranges of snow-capped mountains, and parched alkali deserts. And besides these barriers of nature which lay between the West coast and the settled eastern half of the country, there were many fierce tribes of savages who were usually on the alert to oppose the movements of the white race through their dominions.


California, even then, was the jewel of the Pacific. Having a considerable population, great natural wealth, and unsurpassed climate and fertility, she was jealously desired by both the North and the South.


Based on this excerpt, what will the author most likely discuss next?


The jewels that could be found in Northern California

The North's plans to defeat the South in California

The specific importance of California to the North and South

The effects of war on the population of California

What can the reader conclude about Scrooge from this excerpt from Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol?
Now, being prepared for almost anything, he was not by any means prepared for nothing; and, consequently, when the Bell struck One, and no shape appeared, he was taken with a violent fit of trembling. Five minutes, ten minutes, a quarter of an hour went by, yet nothing came. All this time, he lay upon his bed, the very core and centre of a blaze of ruddy light, which streamed upon it when the clock proclaimed the hour; and which, being only light, was more alarming than a dozen ghosts, as he was powerless to make out what it meant, or would be at; and was sometimes apprehensive that he might be at that very moment an interesting case of spontaneous combustion, without having the consolation of knowing it. At last, however, he began to think—as you or I would have thought at first; for it is always the person not in the predicament who knows what ought to have been done in it, and would unquestionably have done it too—at last, I say, he began to think that the source and secret of this ghostly light might be in the adjoining room, from whence, on further tracing it, it seemed to shine. This idea taking full possession of his mind, he got up softly and shuffled in his slippers to the door.

A.
Scrooge is excited about what will happen next, so he feels angry when the ghost appears to be late.
B.
Scrooge is disturbed by the ghost's presence, so he’s unable to sleep for more than a couple of minutes.
C.
Scrooge is very particular about time, so he starts getting restless when the ghost doesn’t arrive at its appointed time.
D.
Scrooge is alert even in his old age, so he’s prepared for anything the ghost will throw at him.
E.
Scrooge is fearful but curious about the ghost, so he puts his slippers on and goes to the room where the light is shining.

ALL CHILDREN'S' CLOSE ARE ON SALE what is wrong with this

Out of spite, the human beings pretended not to believe that it was Snowball who had destroyed the windmill: they said that it had fallen down because the walls were too thin. The animals knew that this was not the case. Still, it had been decided to build the walls three feet thick this time instead of eighteen inches as before, which meant collecting much larger quantities of stone. For a long time the quarry was full of snowdrifts and nothing could be done. Some progress was made in the dry frosty weather that followed, but it was cruel work, and the animals could not feel so hopeful about it as they had felt before. They were always cold, and usually hungry as well. Only Boxer and Clover never lost heart. Squealer made excellent speeches on the joy of service and the dignity of labour, but the other animals found more inspiration in Boxer's strength and his never-failing cry of "I will work harder!" Which detail from the text best demonstrates the effect of totalitarianism on the animals?
“Progress was made in the dry frosty weather that followed.”
“It had been decided to build the walls three feet thick.”
“They were always cold, and usually hungry as well.”
“For a long time the quarry was full of snowdrifts and nothing could be done.”

The excerpt is an example of _____. commentary future tense immediacy simile

Gil Meche, a 32 years old right baseball pitcher, had a contract that called for a $12 million
salary in 2011.
Meche knew his team had hired to be a starting pitcher and pitch many innings." His
deteriorating shoulder, which was surgically repaired twice in 2001, would not allow him to do
that. And, as a divorced father of three, he believed his children - ages 7, 5 and 3 - needed him
more than his teammates did.
To keep self-respect, Meche retired before the 2011 baseball season, which means he will
not be paid at all. "When I signed my contract, my main goal was to earn it," Meche said. "Once I
started to realize I wasn't earning my money, I felt bad. I was making a crazy amount of money
for not even pitching. Honestly, I didn't feel like I deserved it. I didn't want to have those
feelings again."
"This isn't about being a hero – that's not even close to what it's about," Meche said.
"It's just me getting back to a point in my life where I'm comfortable. Making that amount of
money from a team that's already given me over $40 million for my life and for my kids, it just
wasn't the right thing to do."
"He gave his heart and soul to his profession,"his team's manager said. "You only have so
many throws in you." Meche knew he had no throws left, that he could achieve more, and he
would not pretend otherwise. He said his dream in baseball was always simple - to pitch as long
as he could - and now that he has achieved it, he needs nothing more.

Read the excerpt from the fairy tale “Hansel and Gretel” and answer the question that follows. Hard by a great forest dwelt a poor wood-cutter with his wife and his two children. The boy was called Hansel and the girl Gretel. He had little to bite and to break, and once when great dearth fell on the land, he could no longer procure even daily bread. Now when he thought over this by night in his bed, and tossed about in his anxiety, he groaned and said to his wife: "What is to become of us? How are we to feed our poor children, when we no longer have anything even for ourselves?" "I'll tell you what, husband," answered the woman, "early tomorrow morning we will take the children out into the forest to where it is the thickest; there we will light a fire for them, and give each of them one more piece of bread, and then we will go to our work and leave them alone. They will not find the way home again, and we shall be rid of them." "No, wife," said the man, "I will not do that; how can I bear to leave my children alone in the forest?—the wild animals would soon come and tear them to pieces." "O, you fool!" said she, "then we must all four die of hunger, you may as well plane the planks for our coffins," and she left him no peace until he consented. "But I feel very sorry for the poor children, all the same," said the man. The two children had also not been able to sleep for hunger, and had heard what their stepmother had said to their father. Gretel wept bitter tears, and said to Hansel: "Now all is over with us." "Be quiet, Gretel," said Hansel, "do not distress yourself, I will soon find a way to help us." And when the old folks had fallen asleep, he got up, put on his little coat, opened the door below, and crept outside. The moon shone brightly, and the white pebbles which lay in front of the house glittered like real silver pennies. Hansel stooped and stuffed the little pocket of his coat with as many as he could get in. Then he went back and said to Gretel: "Be comforted, dear little sister, and sleep in peace, God will not forsake us," and he lay down again in his bed. When day dawned, but before the sun had risen, the woman came and awoke the two children, saying: "Get up, you sluggards! we are going into the forest to fetch wood." She gave each a little piece of bread, and said: "There is something for your dinner, but do not eat it up before then, for you will get nothing else." Gretel took the bread under her apron, as Hansel had the pebbles in his pocket. Then they all set out together on the way to the forest. When they had walked a short time, Hansel stood still and peeped back at the house, and did so again and again. His father said: "Hansel, what are you looking at there and staying behind for? Pay attention, and do not forget how to use your legs." "Ah, father," said Hansel, "I am looking at my little white cat, which is sitting up on the roof, and wants to say goodbye to me." The wife said: "Fool, that is not your little cat, that is the morning sun which is shining on the chimneys." Hansel, however, had not been looking back at the cat, but had been constantly throwing one of the white pebble-stones out of his pocket on the road. When they had reached the middle of the forest, the father said: "Now, children, pile up some wood, and I will light a fire that you may not be cold." Hansel and Gretel gathered brushwood together, as high as a little hill. The brushwood was lighted, and when the flames were burning very high, the woman said: "Now, children, lay yourselves down by the fire and rest, we will go into the forest and cut some wood. When we have done, we will come back and fetch you away." Hansel and Gretel sat by the fire, and when noon came, each ate a little piece of bread, and as they heard the strokes of the wood-axe they believed that their father was near. It was not the axe, however, but a branch which he had fastened to a withered tree which the wind was blowing backwards and forwards. And as they had been sitting such a long time, their eyes closed with fatigue, and they fell fast asleep. When at last they awoke, it was already dark night. Gretel began to cry and said: "How are we to get out of the forest now?" But Hansel comforted her and said: "Just wait a little, until the moon has risen, and then we will soon find the way." And when the full moon had risen, Hansel took his little sister by the hand, and followed the pebbles which shone like newly-coined silver pieces, and showed them the way.
