Read the excerpt from Silent Spring.

In the gutters under the eaves and between the shingles of the roofs, a white granular powder still showed a few patches; some weeks before it had fallen like snow upon the roofs and the lawns, the fields and streams.

Which best explains how the phrase “white granular powder” supports the author’s purpose of calling attention to the environment?

The powder is an unnatural substance.
The powder has a texture like sugar.
The powder looks like freshly fallen snow.
The powder is used in house construction.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The option which best explains how the phrase "white granular powder" supports the author's purpose of calling attention to the environment is:

A. the powder is an unnatural substance.

Explanation:

Rachel Carson (1907 - 1964) was a marine biologist and author born in Pennsylvania. In her book "Silent Spring", Carson discusses the harm human beings have been causing to the environment.

The white granular powder mentioned in the passage is pesticide. It is an unnatural substance which is harmful not only for insects but also for the environment in general, including humans. By describing it as a white granular powder, Carson's purpose is to show it is an unnatural substance. Even though it fell "like snow", it is not snow. It is not like anything that truly exists in nature. White granular powder does not fall from the sky at all, unless made by humans, which is the case here.

3. Which is not a way that the film version of "The Most Dangerous Game" creates suspense?
A. the time in which the film is set
B. the addition of another life at stake
C. the use of dramatic music
D. visual details of the chase

Answers

Answer:

A. the time in which the film is set

Explanation:

Like the book, the movie version of "The Most Dangerous Game" features the story of a famous hunter who was forced to participate in a hunt where he was the hunt. The story is full of suspense elements that are reinforced in the cinematographic version with the use of dramatic music and visual chase details, where the viewer feels all the anxiety of the hunt. The addition of human life to the hunt is already an element that increases the suspense intensely, as it leaves the viewer apprehensive about how the game will end. The timing of the film, however, does not add to the suspense and is just one element of the setting.

Which of the following best describes the function of “Time” in the following poem, Sonnet 18 by William Shakespeare? Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer’s lease hath all too short a date; Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimm'd; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm'd; But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st; Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st: So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. Question 5 options: a) The speaker declares that his beloved’s loveliness will live on forever through his poetry, unlike the short-lived summer season. b) The speaker laments the fleeting nature of summer, as it is his favorite season and he wishes its warmth and brightness could last longer. c) The speaker admits that although his beloved’s beauty will fade with time, his love will not fade. d) The speaker explains that he loves his beloved more than he adores the summer because his beloved can love him back.
