The title of this novel is "Black Boy." What does his ironic use of the word "boy" signify about the way that black men were perceived at this time in American history?
Answer:
The blacks in America were deemed inferior and only seen as someone lesser, like a young boy among adults. Maybe, this is one reason why Wright uses the word "boy" in his title.
Explanation:
Richard Wright's memoir "Black Boy" presents the author's childhood and also growing up years as a black man in the American South. The book deals with themes of growing up, racism, family, and also a sense of trying to find his identity.
The use of the word "boy" in the title is ironic because Wright may be describing his childhood experiences but at the same time, the memoir covers well beyond his childhood years too. This may also have to do with his feeling of still being a kid despite being an adult.
Also important is how the blacks were perceived by the whites, the "superior" whites. Though same in all senses, blacks were hardly accepted by the whites as their own or equals, and more like inferior and lesser than them. This can also be one reason why Wright uses the word "boy", as a generalization of how his black people were perceived by the whites.
Read this thesis statement.
The gray whales' annual journey from the frigid waters of the northern Pacific to the warm lagoons near Baja California, Mexico, is one of the most remarkable migrations of any species on the planet.
Which piece of information, gathered from research, best supports this thesis statement?
The gray whale is a baleen whale that measures 40 to 50 feet and can weigh between 30 and 40 tons.
Gray whales use a comb-like strainer in their upper jaw to filter the food they forage off the seafloor.
Traveling in pods, or groups, the gray whales' round-trip from Alaska to Mexico covers about 12,430 miles.
Once close to extinction from extensive hunting, gray whales are now protected by international law.
Answer:
I believe your answer would be the third option.
Explanation:
The third option is the only one that has anything to do with their journey across the country. It adds information that goes well with the thesis statement, and gives back up information pertaining to the original statement.
Answer: the answer is Traveling in pods, or groups, the gray whales' round-trip from Alaska to Mexico covers about 12,430 miles.

Explanation:
So what I’m thinking about rn is how crazy it is, how fast, how easy it is to just trust, love, open up and basically so many things to one person. Then, having them take all those things and using it against you. Knowing the hurt you have gone through the pain and the sorrow. The guilt that will never reside and you would still trust them. Right? Humans care for so many people that when we lose one it feels like a physical pain, mental and spirutal all at once. We remember things we wish we could take back. Think about the person that’s keeping you here. The person that makes you smile when you see them. The person that makes an effort for you. People can hurt easily. When you’ve been hurt so many times you can’t bring yourself to do it to someone else. How many times have you been mature, listened to the person who did you wrong and still said sorry for something?

How does William Waillace's name alone serve as an example of ethos in this case? What evidence do we have to support this idea?
Answer:
A name can establish ethos with its title (ex: President or Doctor) or with its status. Like if you heard the name "John F. Kennedy" it already establishes credibility because of his position as President, and so readers already believe he is a reliable speaker. So if William Wallace was a well-known person, his name establishes credibility because people already know of him and respect him, and so believe he will be a reliable speaker.
Explanation:
I'm not sure who William Wallace is or the context, but hope this helps!
The rank or title of a name can establish its ethos (for example, "President" or "Doctor"). As an example, the name "John F. Kennedy" immediately builds credibility due to his role as President, leading readers to feel that he is a trustworthy speaker.
What is William Wallace most famous for?William Wallace was a leader of the resistance as well as a knight. The thing that made him most famous was his participation in the First Scottish War of Independence. The earliest years of Wallace are largely unknown. May 1297 marked the earliest mention of his insurrection.
Following the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, Scotland attained its independence. Of fact, the majority of what is portrayed in the movie is based on real historical occurrences.
As a result, if William Wallace was well-known, his name would provide him credibility because people are aware of and respectful of him and hence assume he will be a trustworthy speaker.
Thus, The rank or title of a name can establish its ethos.

Read the following poem by John Keats. What type of poem is it?
Bright star! would I were steadfast as thou art—
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night,
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like Nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priest-like task
Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors—
No—yet still steadfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,[xxii]
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender taken breath,
And so live ever—or else swoon to death.

1. The cars come cruising up Broadway. 2. The cars are glittering. 3. The cars are low and rumbling. Which choice below is the most concise way to combine these three sentences? Select one: a. The cars that are rumbling and low, come cruising up Broadway. b. The low and rumbling cars are glittering and cruising up Broadway c. The low, glittering cars rumble and cruise up Broadway. d. Rumbling and low, the glittering cars come cruising up Broadway.
Answer:
The most concise way to combine these three sentences is:
d. Rumbling and low, the glittering cars come cruising up Broadway.
Explanation:
Concise means brief. That is, we are supposed to find a way to convey the same message as the original sentences but with few words.
First, we need to see what the sentences have in common, so that we can eliminate repetition. All three clearly speak of "the cars", so we can only mention that subject one. Sentences 2 and 3 use the verb "are" followed by characteristics of the cars. We can use those characteristics as adjectives, right before the subject, instead of as predicates. That way, we eliminate the excessive use of verbs in one sentence. That is precisely what letter D does:
d. Rumbling and low, the glittering cars come cruising up Broadway.

The wind that carried west from Ilium
brought me to Ismarus, on the far shore,
a strongpoint on the coast of Cicones.
I stormed that place and killed the men who fought.
Plunder we took, and we enslaved the women,
to make division, equal shares to all—
but on the spot I told them: 'Back, and quickly!
‘Out to sea again!' My men were mutinous,
fools, on stores of wine. Sheep after sheep they
butchered by the surf, and shambling cattle,
feasting,—while fugitives went inland, running
to call to arms the main force of Cicones.
This was an army, trained to fight on horseback
or, where the ground required, on foot. They came
with dawn over that terrain like the leaves
and blades of spring. So doom appeared to us,
dark word of Zeus for us, our evil days.
My men stood up and made a fight of it—60
backed on the ships, with lances kept in play,
from bright morning through the blaze of noon
so holding our beach, although so far outnumbered;

B. free verse
Explanation:
Open form, also referred to as free verse, does not follow a fixed pattern of rhyme, rhythm, or line length. It allows the poet flexibility in how the poem is composed.
Other Answers:
Lyric, narrative, and descriptive are all poetic styles, so when it comes to this question, options C, D, and E can be eliminated because it is asking for the form.
The lyric style expresses the speaker's feelings (ex: odes, elegies, sonnets).The narrative style tells a story and includes elements of plot, such as exposition, climax, and resolution (ex: epics, ballads).The descriptive style describes the subject of the poem in detail and follows a narrative.Blank verse is another poetic form and is written in non-rhyming lines of iambic pentameter. This answer does not apply to the poem.

Which answer choice is the best definition for the word mortality as it is used in this sentence? The doctor was concerned about high mortality among those with the disease.
Answer:
The doctor was concerned about high mortality among those with the disease.
Explanation:
The word "mortality" refers to the state of death or the rate of death or the state of being mortal. This term generally signifies the state of being subjected to death or the nature of it.
In the sentence "[T]he doctor was concerned about high mortality among those with the disease", the use of the term "mortality" is correct. This is because as "mortality" refers to the state of death, the doctor's concern about the high death rate among the people is correct sentence construction.
