2. Which summary describes a story conflict that is likely to hold readers' attention ?
A dog with a collar and identifying tags wanders into a family's yard.
A teen finds a jar full of money that includes a name and an address.
A father and son go on a camping trip and meet another father and son.
A family gets lost in the woods and then easily finds their way back to camp.

Answer:

I think the answer is the 3rd one.

Explanation:

The other storie are probably short and boring, because they don't have a problem, so they can't have a solution, which excludes 2 elements out of the story.

Answer:

I know it is too late for you since I just took this same test but the answer was "A teen finds a jar full of money that includes a name and an address." This is a conflict because adults just assume that teens are greedy even though an adult is more likely to take it because they eat that capitalistic sh#t up.

Explanation:

I explained it in the answer portion of this form.

Write a short summary of this story. The city of Syracuse in Sicily . . . was ruled by a man . . . whose name was Dionysius. [He] had seized power by force, and kept his authority by exercising the greatest severity. He was always surrounded by guards, who at a mere sign from him were ready to put anyone to death.

Dionysius was therefore feared and hated by the people whom he governed, but who would have been very glad to get rid of him. No honest man cared to come near such a bloodthirsty wretch, and there were soon none but wicked men to be found in his court.

These men, hoping to win his favor and get rich gifts, used to flatter him constantly. They never told him the truth, but only praised him, and made believe to admire all he said and did.

Of course, even though they were wicked too, they could really admire him, but secretly hated and despised him. Their praise, therefore, was as false as they and their advice was always as bad as bad could be.

Now, Dionysius was as conceited as he was cruel, and fancied that there was nothing he could not do. Among other things, he thought he could write beautiful poetry. Whenever he wrote a poem, therefore, he read it aloud to all his courtiers, who went into raptures over it, although they made great fun of it behind his back.

Dionysius was highly flattered by their praise, but thought he would like to have it confirmed by the philosopher Philoxenus, the most learned man of Syracuse.

He therefore sent for Philoxenus, and bade him give his candid opinion of the verse. Now, Philoxenus was far too noble a man to tell a lie: and whenever he was consulted by Dionysius, he always boldly told the truth, whether it was agreeable or not.

When the tyrant asked his opinion about the poems, therefore, he unhesitatingly answered that they were trash, and did not deserve the name of poetry at all.

This answer so angered Dionysius, and so sorely wounded his vanity, that he called his guards, and bade them put the philosopher into a prison hewn out of the living rock, and hence known as "The Quarries."

Here Philoxenus was a prisoner for many a day, although his only fault was having told the tyrant an unwelcome truth when asked to speak.

The philosopher_s friends were indignant on hearing that he was in prison, and signed a petition asking Dionysius to set him free. The tyrant read the petition, and promised to grant their request on condition that the philosopher would sup with him.

Dionysius' table was well decked, as usual, and at dessert he again read aloud some new verses he had composed. All the courtiers went in to ecstasies over them, but the philosopher did not say a word.

Dionysius, however, fancied that his long imprisonment had broken his spirit, and that he would not now dare refuse to give a few words of praise: so he pointedly asked Philoxenus what he thought of the poem. Instead of answering, the philosopher gravely turned toward the guards, and in a firm voice cried aloud, "Take me back to The Quarries." thus showing very plainly that he preferred suffering to telling an untruth.

The courtiers were aghast at his rashness, and fully expected that the tyrant would take him at his word and put him in prison, if nothing worse; but Dionysius was struck by the moral courage which made Philoxenus tell the truth at the risk of his life, and he bade him go home in peace.

I WILL GIVE YOU BRAINLIST PLEASE HELP MEEEEEEE!!!!! We have been friends together, In sunshine and in shade; Since first beneath the chestnut-trees In infancy we played. Line 5) But coldness dwells within thy heart, A cloud is on thy brow; We have been friends together — Shall a light word part us now? We have been gay together; Line 10) We have laugh’d at little jests; For the fount of hope was gushing Warm and joyous in our breasts. But laughter now hath fled thy lip, And sullen glooms thy brow; Line 15) We have been gay together — Shall a light word part us now? We have been sad together, We have wept, with bitter tears, O’er the grass-grown graves, where slumber’d Line 20) The hopes of early years. The voices which are silent there Would bid thee clear thy brow; We have been sad together — Oh! what shall part us now? Question: Do you think the author wants to make up with their friend?
