If C is 24 and BAG is 71 then DEAF is:
a. 90
b. 92
c. 93
d. 94
Answer:
b. 92

Counting backwards from Z till A, C is the 24th number.

=71
Similarly, DEAF= 23+ 22+ 26+ 21
=92.

Why did the Choctaw Native Americans hope they would be able to kept there land?
Final answer:
The Choctaw hoped to keep their land to maintain sovereignty and identity, to avoid government control, and to adhere to cultural traditions. Despite treaties promising exchange and rights, they were often pressured and swindled, losing lands to white settlers and facing continuous challenges in preserving their cultural heritage.
Explanation:
The Choctaw Native Americans hoped they could keep their land because it represented sovereignty and freedom from the intervention of government officials who sought to open the West for white settlement. The land was not just a physical space but also symbolic of their identity and political autonomy. The Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek, which relocated the Choctaw from their ancestral lands to what is now Oklahoma, was a reluctantly agreed exchange after pressure from white settlers and the U.S. government.
After relocation, the Choctaws and other Native American tribes faced continuous challenges, such as pressures from land speculators and the transition from communal to individual land ownership that disregarded future generations' rights to land choices. Acts like the Indian Removal Act facilitated the transfer of extensive tribal lands to the government, and often native individuals were swindled out of their individual allocations, leading to increased hardships and loss of cultural ties to their lands.
Is the underlined clause independent or subordinate?
Sima loves butternut squash with brown sugar sprinkled on it.
A.
independent

subordinate

What theme is portrayed in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich?
In reality it was just what is usually seen in the houses of people of moderate means who want to appear rich, and therefore succeed only in resembling others like themselves: there are damasks, dark wood, plants, rugs, and dull and polished bronzes—all the things people of a certain class have in order to resemble other people of that class. His house was so like the others that it would never have been noticed, but to him it all seemed to be quite exceptional. He was very happy when he met his family at the station and brought them to the newly furnished house all lit up, where a footman in a white tie opened the door into the hall decorated with plants, and when they went on into the drawing-room and the study uttering exclamations of delight. He conducted them everywhere, drank in their praises eagerly, and beamed with pleasure.

In communication and literary terms, various types of prose and techniques are employed to convey information effectively. Descriptive prose utilizes imagery to paint vivid word pictures, while narrative prose focuses on storytelling.
Expository prose aims to explain or persuade the audience, and paraphrasing involves carefully shortening a reading by restating it in one's words. Physical motions, such as gestures, can enhance communication, while cohesion ensures the elements of a text stick together.
Enunciation and eye-contact are crucial for clear articulation during presentations, and voice-print is akin to a fingerprint, unique to each individual. Understanding these terms and techniques enhances one's ability to engage and communicate effectively in various contexts.

Which of these statements is true about satire?
Satire is a work of literature that contains morals or lessons that use people, actions, or objects to symbolize an abstract idea.
Satire uses contempt and ridicule to make a critical or humorous statement about a human weakness or society in general.
Satire is a five-line stanza.
Satire is a long narrative poem about the exploits of gods and heroes.
Satire is an eight-line stanza.
Answer:
Satire uses contempt and ridicule to make a critical or humorous statement about a human weakness or society in general.
Explanation:
Satire is the literary genre that employs irony, humor, exaggeration or ridicule to criticize and reveal the vices, foolishness, and follies of an individual or society. The writer uses satire to force people to think, improve, and eventually overcome these vices. For example, Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales" exemplifies the social satire where Chaucer criticizes every class of the people through his art of characterization(the greedy Pardoner, the hypocritical Friar) especially those who professed Christianity for their hollow belief system and values. Thus, the description provided in the second option is true about satire.

What is the effect of the repetition of the word snow?
Select the correctly spelled plural forms.
foxes
summaries
summarys
heros
rodeos
bonuses
Answer:
The correct answers are:
1- Foxes: The plural form of "fox" has to add an -ed due to the word ending in the consonant "x".
2- Summaries: The plural form of "summary" has to drop the "y" since it is preceded by a consonant, and replace it for an "i", which should in turn be followed by -ed.
3- Rodeos- The plural form of "rodeo" merely adds a final -s because it ends in a vowel.
4- Bonuses- Since the singular form of "bonus" already ends in a final -s, in order to make the word plural a final -es has to be added.
He is taller by almost the breadth of my nail, than any of his court, which alone is enough to strike an awe into the beholders. His features are strong and masculine, with an Austrian lip and arched nose, his complexion olive, his countenance erect, his body and limbs well proportioned, all his motions graceful, and his deportment majestic. He was then past his prime, being twenty-eight years and three-quarters old, of which he had reigned about seven in great felicity and generally victorious. . . . He held his sword drawn in his hand to defend himself, if I should happen to break loose: it was almost three inches long; the hilt and scabbard were gold enriched with diamonds. His voice was shrill, but very clear and articulate, and I could distinctly hear it when I stood up.

Explanation:
What is the correct answer?
Original: All of her life, Christina listened to people joke about her thick glasses, thus she readily agreed to correct her vision with surgery and discard what friends called her "bug eyes."
A: ...glasses, thus, she...
B: ...glasses; thus, she...
C: ...glasses, thus; she...
D: No change is necessary
The correct punctuation is '...glasses; thus, she...', as 'thus' is a conjunctive adverb linking two independent clauses, necessitating the use of a semicolon before it and a comma after it.
Explanation:The correct answer is B: ...glasses; thus, she.... In the sentence provided, there is a need to separate two independent clauses. The word 'thus' introduces a result or a consequence and is functioning as a conjunctive adverb here. In such cases, the punctuation mark that should be used before 'thus' is a semicolon, followed by a comma after 'thus'. Therefore, the sentence should be punctuated as 'All of her life, Christina listened to people joke about her thick glasses; thus, she readily agreed to correct her vision with surgery and discard what friends called her "bug eyes."'
