In this excerpt, the word inviolate is used as a(n) _____.
A. adjective
B. adverb
C. Noun
D. Verb
Answer: A. adjective
The word "inviolate" refers to something that is unbroken or untouched. It transmits an idea of something perfect and untarnished. In this sentence, the word is used as an adjective. We know this because an adjective's function in a sentence is to modify a noun or pronoun. In this sentence, the word "inviolate" is modifying the pronoun "it," which is used as a substitute of the noun "maze."
I need help with writing a reflective essay about a poem ( Lost Generation By; Jonathan Reed. If anyone can help me with some ideas to write about reflecting the essay please comment below.
Poem;
There is hope.
It is foolish to presume that
My generation is apathetic and lethargic.
It will be evident that
My peers and I care about this Earth.
No longer can it be said that
Environmental destruction will be the norm.
In the future,
I will live in a country of my own making.
I do not concede that
Thirty years from now, I will be celebrating the tenth anniversary of my divorce.
Experts tell me
This is a quick fix society
But this will not be true in my era.
Families stayed together
Once upon a time
I'll tell you this:
Family
Is more important than
Work
I have my priorities straight because
My employer will know that
They are not the most important thing in my life.
So in thirty years, I will tell my children
“Money will make me happy”
Is a lie, and
“True Happiness comes from within”
I realize this may be a shock, but
I can change the world.
And I refuse to believe that
I am part of a lost generation.
To write a reflective essay on the poem "Lost Generation", delve into the poem's themes of optimism and generational change, contrast it with the historical Lost Generation's despair, and consider how the poem's message applies to current societal challenges and one's personal experiences.
When writing a reflective essay on Jonathan Reed's poem "Lost Generation", consider the themes of optimism and reversal embedded in the poem's structure. The poem challenges the notion that the speaker's generation is "apathetic and lethargic" by flipping each negative statement into a positive assertion when read in reverse. Reflect on the historical context of the Lost Generation writers like F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway, whose works depicted hopelessness after World War I, and contrast that with Reed's message of hope and change for the future.
Discuss how this contrasting element can connect to the modern context, such as environment concerns. Use your own life experiences or observations of societal change to reflect on the question posed by the poem: are we truly part of a lost generation or do we possess the power to redefine our trajectory? Additionally, refer to the Modernist period with its economic highs and subsequent lows and the resulting sense of disillusionment that led to the expatriate lifestyle of many artists.
Finally, explore the idea of a generation's power to enact change, as suggested by the optimistic tone of Reed's poem. This can involve reflecting on how one’s actions and attitudes contribute to, or counteract, collective feelings of hopelessness or the labels imposed by previous generations.

Which of the following words has both a prefix and a suffix?
A.geology
B.remodel
C.unfortunately
D.timeless
The correct answer is C. Unfortunately
Explanation:
In language, words are composed mainly by root words which are the basic unit of a word, suffixes which are letters or syllables placed after words and prefixes which are similar to suffixes but are placed before rather than after root words. Because of this, words are usually composed of a root word follow or preceded by a suffix or prefix but in some cases, the three elements previously described can be found in one word. This is the case of the word "Unfortunately" that contains the root word "Fortunate" that means lucky, the prefix "un-" that means not or opposite and the suffix "-ly" that means in what way or manner, which leads to the word "Unfortunately" that is used to describe an action that resulted in a way that was not lucky. Therefore, the word that has both a prefix and a suffix is "Unfortunately".

It helps develop the overall personality in a work.
Answer:
The correct answer is It determines the range of attitudes that a text can effectively express.
Explanation:
The voice used in a writing is very important to determine the tone. While a person cannot hear the voice of a writer when he reads, it can be interpreted in his head through the words they are reading.
That is why it is very important that in writing we choose the right words, and for the right audience.
It can be a formal, friendly, professional tone of voice, etc.
The voice used in the phrase: "Hey, wanna go out?" Is not the same as the voice used in the phrase: "Hello. Do you want to go out with me? ”

Most people outside of Farmington, Maine, have never heard of Chester Greenwood—but endless numbers of children have a fun way to play outside in cold winter weather because of his invention.
Chester Greenwood was born in 1858 in Farmington, Maine. One of six children, he grew up on a farm. The family raised chickens and sold eggs. Greenwood walked an eight-mile route to deliver eggs to customers. Some of them also bought the peppermints he made.
As a teenager, Greenwood loved skating. During the winter of 1873, he was given a new pair of ice skates. The 15-year-old headed for the local pond to try them out. The winter of 1873 was bitterly cold, and soon Greenwood's ears were stinging. He wrapped a wool scarf around his head, but it was both itchy and bulky. It was hard to see, much less skate, with a scarf tied around his head.
Most people would have given up and waited for the weather to improve, but Greenwood was unwavering in his determination to find a way to protect his ears so he could skate. He took some wire and bent it into a pair of loops. Hurrying home, he persuaded his grandmother to sew material over the loops. Greenwood chose fur for the outside and velvet for the inside, which would be next to his sensitive ears. In no time, his grandmother had finished the first earmuffs ever made. With his new invention, Greenwood could keep his ears warm while skating.
As he glided around the ice, fellow skaters noticed the strange invention on Greenwood's head. When asked, he called them "ear mufflers." Soon everyone wanted the ear mufflers. Greenwood's mother and grandmother helped by covering the wire frames with fur. Ear mufflers were extremely successful, and in 1877, Greenwood patented a model with a steel band. He was only 18 at the time. His "one-size-fits-all" model had ear covers that could be folded to store in a pocket. Greenwood called them his "Champion Ear Protectors."
Soon, his mother and grandmother could not keep up with the orders. Greenwood moved his business into a factory in Farmington. By the early 1880s, more than 30,000 ear mufflers were being purchased every year. By 1936, the number was near 400,000. Farmington became the "Earmuff Capital of the World."
Greenwood did not stop inventing, though. He applied for more than 100 patents. He invented 15 machines to help make and assemble parts for the earmuffs. He also invented a steel-tooth rake, shock absorbers, a whistling teakettle, and a washing machine. Other inventions included a new type of spark plug and a folding bed. While it is a joke among inventors that each is trying to invent a better mousetrap, Greenwood actually did come up with a mechanical mousetrap. The Smithsonian Institution has named him one of this country's 15 outstanding inventors.
In 1977, Maine's legislature passed a law declaring December 21 as Chester Greenwood Day. Farmington residents and thousands of visitors celebrate Chester Greenwood's invention on the first Saturday of December. The day features events such as an earmuff fashion show and a cold-ear contest. Best of all, there is a Chester Greenwood Day parade with its own flag: red earmuffs on a white background. Everything from police cars to cows wears earmuffs. Even the dogs wear earmuffs!
Chester Greenwood proved that a person can be a successful inventor at any age. All Greenwood wanted to do was find a way to keep his ears warm. In doing so, he started a million-dollar industry.

Jack Aqueroses's "Agua Viva; a Sculpture by Alfred Gozalez; tells the story of Fifty Fredo, a mentally disturbed hermit who control scrap metal and hasn't shaved or bathed in fives years. Aqueros uses long, run-on sentences to convey Fredo's manic, compulsive inner world, a world as impenetrable as the scrap iron creations he builds in his workshop. A violent encounter with some neighborhood boys is his first human contact of any kind in years, and it seems to be the first step towards returning to society.
Answer:
for "'Agua Viva,' A Sculpture by Alfred Gonzalez"
Explanation:
The author uses characterization to develop the theme of victimization. Fredo is a victim to the bullying of young kids and his own isolation. Throughout the story, we watch as the author uses the characterization of Fredo to develop victimization by having Fredo "wake up" to reality. For example, the young neighborhood boys pick on him, " He looked up to see three boys throwing things at him that he could not immediately identify. Nor could he recognize the boys. Were they his son's friends? Where was his son? "Filthy Fredo, filthy Fredo, ya ya ya-ya-ya,"they shouted." When the neighborhood boys do this it wakes Fredo up to reality and he starts to realize that he is being victimized by these young boys. Later when he goes into his house he then realizes how he has become a victim to his own emotions and self-caused isolation. This is when Fredo realizes this, " In the end—after a year—they released him as "traumatized" but "harmless," Here this displays how he has become a victim to his own emotions and he has a traumatic past. Then when he looks in the mirror, " And he turned and gazed in the mirror—what he saw there stopped his heart. In the mirror was the head and shoulders of a man who had not bathed, shaven, or shorn his hair for five or more years and who had not seen himself in that time either." When Fredo looks in the mirror this is when he truly realizes what he has become a victim of over all these years.

Should in the furthest east begin to draw

Away from light steals home my heavy son,

Shuts up his windows, locks fair daylight out,
And makes himself an artificial night.

Which is the best summary based on key words for the paragraph? Establishing peace and order gave Rome much-needed stability. The Romans' first code of law was established around 450 BC. On 12 separate tablets, twelve legal experts wrote down a list of Roman customs about property and punishing people who did wrong. This code was called the laws of the Twelve Tables (tablets on which the laws were inscribed) and at first its details of procedure were restricted to a body of patrician leaders. However, due to plebeian pressure, the Twelve Tables were put into writing around 250 BC, making it more accessible to the common man for interpretation and understanding. By the end of the third century, Roman law covered relations among Romans, dealings with foreigners, and eventually covered even magisterial law to strengthen and correct existing law. As the Roman Empire was in its first steps of dominance around 27 BC, the law's development was taken over by the emperors, who added and revised freely. As the law grew more complex the government literally trained jurists who could understand and correctly interpret the laws. Rome's laws gave stability as they developed. The Twelve Tables were written for the common man. Rome's laws got more complex.
answer is Rome's laws gave stability as they developed.

What describes a biography
Whn writing a biography , authors must research the subject of a biography before writing. However, while a biography is about the life of a person it does not tell you every single detail about the person.
A biography, or simply bio, is a detailed description of a person's life which includes more than just the basic facts like education, work, relationships, and death; it illustrates a person's experience of these life events.
Even though biographical works are usually non-fiction, fiction can be used to portray a person's life as well.
