Read the excerpt from The Odyssey.
But when he knew he heard
Odysseus' voice nearby, he did his best
to wag his tail, nose down, with flattened ears,
having no strength to move nearer his master.
And the man looked away,
wiping a salt tear from his cheek:
What does the dog, Argus, represent in this excerpt?

B)sadness
C)illness
D)ignorance

In the passage the dog is not well enough to run to Odysseus and show his excitement. However, it does say he "did his best to wag his tail." This shows Argus' love and loyalty to his master. It is also clear that Odysseus feels love and loyalty to his dog when he must look away "wiping a salt tear from his cheek." Seeing Argus in distress also causes an emotional reaction from Odysseus.

The question that best completes this conversation is "¿Cuándo es tu cumpleaños?", that is an equivalent to "When is your birthday?" because Carlos was asking Roberto about his age, and Roberto then answers with an exact date (January 14th). Therefore, the missing question that would trigger that answer is "When is your birthday?"

Edwards v. South Carolina is significant in terms of selective incorporation because it limited states’ abilities to restrict
A the freedom of speech.
B the right to petition the government for redress.
C the right to peacefully assemble.
D the freedom of the press.
Answer:
Right to peacefully assemble.
Explanation:
In March, 1961, a number of African-American high school and college students gathered at Zion Baptist Church in Columbia, South Carolina. From there they marched in groups to the South Carolina State House in a peaceful protest march concerning civil rights of black American citizens. They maintained a peaceful, non-violent approach throughout their activity. Nevertheless, police officials insisted that they had to stop their assembly and disperse within 15 minutes, or be arrested. They did not disperse; they sang spiritual and patriotic songs. 187 persons were arrested and charged with disturbing the peace.
The students who were arrested and punished sought justice through the court system, and their case, known as Edwards v. South Carolina, was decided by the US Supreme Court in 1963. The Court held that the Constitution (specifically the 1st and 14th Amendments) did not allow state government officials or police to force a crowd to disperse when they are otherwise behaving legally. Marching in front of a state house in a peaceful manner is a protected form of free speech. Edwards v. South Carolina protected the right of citizens to assemble and express their views in a peaceful protest.

The poem “Richard Cory” by Edwin Arlington Robinson explores how the theme of dissatisfaction and the mentality that “the grass is greener on the other side” affects all humans. Which lines in this excerpt reflect those themes?
a.And he was rich—yes, richer than a king—
And admirably schooled in every grace
b.To make us wish that we were in his place.
c.So on we worked, and waited for the light
d.Went home and put a bullet through his head.
The question states that "Richard Cory" explores that "the grass is greener on the other side" affects all humans.
Because of this, I believe the answer is B and D.
With B and D, you can see both sides, both people from opposite sides of "the grass" who wish to be on the other side.
B. "To make us wish that we were in his place" says this directly, while D. "Went home and put a bullet through his head" implies it. He was obviously unhappy with his life, and wished for something else.

Answer:
Understatement.

Understatement is a satirical element use to intentionally make the situation seem less important than it really is.
These types of figures of speech are satirical elements because an intense response is expected in front of the situation presented.

The word essay originally meant _____.
argue
try
write
Final answer:
The word essay means "to try, to test, to experiment" and originates from the French word 'essayer'. Essays in academic writing are structured arguments that advance knowledge and ideas through evidence and logical reasoning.
Explanation:
The word essay literally means "to try, to test, to experiment". This term originates from the French word essayer which translates to "to try" or "to attempt".The essay as a literary form was popularized by Michel de Montaigne, who saw writing as a method of discovery—an attempt to explore and understand various subjects.Concerning academic writing, especially at the college level, an essay is a medium where authors advance knowledge and ideas through a structured argument.This argument is a reasoned opinion supported by evidence. Therefore, when we think of essays in the context of academic writing, we are engaging in a trial or experiment to test ideas and persuasively present a viewpoint supported by logical reasoning and evidence.
