Excerpt from: Wichita Mourning
David Matherne

Pipe organs—dusty and tarnished—
Bellowed the ancient song,
As movers carried the pews
For one last time.

The BEST definition for pews is
A)
religious duties
B)
stacks of tree limbs
C)
long benches with a back
D)
relief from a heavy burden

Answers

Answer 1
C)
long benches with a back 
Answer 2

Answer: C)  long benches with a back

Explanation: the denotation of a word is the literal meaning, the one that we can find in a dictionary (it is the antonym of connotation, which is a meaning that is given by the context of a word). In the given excerpt from "Wichita Mourning " by David Matherne, the denotation of definition for the word "pews" is long benches with a back (usually placed in rows in the main part of some churches to seat the congregation), so the correct answer is option C.

What type of subject is in the sentence?juan and carlos went to the store on friday??

Answers

I think it would be the question mark at the end of the sentence because it is not asking a question so it would be incorrect. Instead there should be a period at the end of the sentence.

Hope this helps :) 

The sentence consists of Compound subject.

The type of subject in the sentence "Juan and Carlos went to the store on Friday" is a compound subject. The sentence consists of two individual subjects, Juan and Carlos, who partake in the same action (verb). Therefore, they are combined to form a compound subject, which is then followed by the verb 'went' which is in past tense indicating that the action has already occurred. The sentence also contains an optional adverbial clause 'on Friday', specifying the time when Juan and Carlos went to the store.

According to aristotle, how are plot events related in a tragedy? through cause-and-effect relationships through allusions that impact mood through the songs of the chorus through random acts of chance

Answers

The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by your question is the first choice.

According to Aristotle, the plot events are related in a tragedy through cause-and-effect relationships.

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead!

Aristotle posited that the events in a tragedy should be connected through cause-and-effect relationships, leading to the emotional purgation of the audience.

According to Aristotle, plot events in a tragedy are related through cause-and-effect relationships. Aristotle analyzes tragedy by breaking it down into six significant parts: Plot, Character, Diction, Thought, Spectacle, and Song, with the Plot being of greatest importance. He asserts that a tragedy should imitate actions inspiring pity and fear, which are best produced when events are interconnected and progress logically to surprise the audience, heightening the tragic wonder.

This interconnectedness makes the plot, according to Aristotle, the 'soul' of a tragedy, as it integrates the incidents in an orderly and consequential structure, leading to the downfall of typically heroic characters due to their tragic flaws. The end-effect for the audience is a sense of catharsis, or emotional purgation.

Answers

Benvolio shows concern for Romeo and tries to keep the peace between the families.
Final answer:

Benvolio's main function in Act I of The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is to act as a peacekeeper and provide rational counsel amidst familial conflicts.

Explanation:

The main function of Benvolio in Act I of The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is to serve as a peacekeeper and a rational voice amidst the chaos and conflict between the Montagues and Capulets.

Benvolio, a cousin to Romeo and a Montague, tries to diffuse the opening fight and later attempts to divert Romeo from his melancholic obsession with Rosaline. His role underscores themes of peace and reason in contrast to the impulsive, passionate, and often violent actions that drive the play's tragic narrative.

A paragraph that explains the differences between ancient greece and ancient rome uses a ______ organizational pattern?
A. compare and contrast.
B. cause and effect.
C. sequence of events.
D. chronological order.

Answers

a. compare and contrast

Answer:

A. compare and contrast.

Explanation:

Writing a paragraph that shows the differences of any two or more than two things or subjects is a compare and contrast pattern of organization. There is no way the differentiation of subjects will have a cause and effect pattern, nor will it be a sequence of events or a chronological order. The paragraph will deal with the differences of the two nations, showing their comparison side by side, however the sentence may come along.

Which theme is found in both “We Wear the Mask” and "A Man Said to the Universe"?

All individuals must search to discover their places in the world.

Each person is part of a larger system, such as society and the environment.

People are ignorant to the greater forces in the world surrounding them.

People must accept their environments, even if they are not happy.

Answers

Final answer:

Both 'We Wear the Mask' and 'A Man Said to the Universe' share the theme of people accepting their environments despite their discontent. They explore the impact of society and culture on individual experiences and the struggle for personal autonomy within societal constraints.

Explanation:

The common theme found in both We Wear the Mask and A Man Said to the Universe is that people must accept their environments, even if they are not happy. This theme reflects the challenges individuals face in acknowledging the external forces and societal expectations that shape their existence. For instance, in 'We Wear the Mask', the mask symbolizes the facade people wear to hide their true feelings and struggles in society. In contrast, 'A Man Said to the Universe' speaks to the smallness of man in the grand scheme of the cosmos and the need to come to terms with one's insignificance.

There is also an underlying message of the human experience being influenced by societal and cultural expectations. People learn to navigate through life by absorbing the values and beliefs imparted by their culture, often without diligently questioning them, as is suggested by the notion of the 'brainwashing power of culture'. While these texts were written in different contexts, both authors delve into the human condition, examining the compromises people make to accommodate or resist the roles imposed upon them.

Ralph Ellison's words resonate with this idea, suggesting that self-discovery and freedom lie in understanding one's place within the societal framework. Moreover, reflections on topics like governmental control, as outlined by Thoreau's notion of two freedoms, further underscore the importance of personal autonomy in the face of societal expectations.

In the first two lines of Stanzas 1 and 4 of "Break, Break, Break," Tennyson uses _____.
A personification
B apostrophe
C metaphor

The first two lines say:
"Break, break, break,
On thy cold gray stones, O Sea!"

Answers

The correct answer is B. apostrophe

Final answer:

Tennyson uses apostrophe in the first two lines of Stanzas 1 and 4 of "Break, Break, Break," directly addressing and personifying the Sea.

Explanation:

In the first two lines of Stanzas 1 and 4 of "Break, Break, Break," by Tennyson, he uses B) apostrophe. An apostrophe, in this context, refers to the direct address of an inanimate object, abstraction, or absent person as if it were present and capable of understanding. In this case, the 'O Sea!' is directly addressed and personified as if it could comprehend the poet's intense emotions. The sea, described as having "cold gray stones", is not personified; rather, it is a recipient of the poet's visceral plea. Tennyson does not make use of personification (option A) or metaphor (option C) in the specified lines.

Which best distinguishes fact from historical fiction?


A.While facts usually tell about discoveries, historical fiction often includes details about the weather and setting.

B.While facts do not tell about people, historical fiction often tells about the lives of famous people.

C.While facts do not pertain to history, historical fiction is based on historical events.

D.While facts can be proven, historical fiction includes imagined details to add dramatic interest.

Answers

D."While facts can be proven, historical fiction includes imagined details to add dramatic interest." is your answer. This is because FACT is something that happened and is/can be proven true. FICTION is something which may have bases in the real world, but in reality can't be confirmed. Example:

Historical FACT: "When John Adams had been elected president, the white house wasn't even finished being built."

Historical FICTION: "John Adams looked up at the weary scaffolding of his soon-to-be home, and sighed."


The obvious difference here is that one IS what we know, vs. one being BASED on what we know. While we know the white house wasn't built at that time, we don't know for sure if John Adams looked up at it and sighed.
