Read the passage from A Raisin in the Sun.

MAMA: Lord have mercy, baby. You done gone and bought your grandmother a hat?

TRAVIS (very proud): Open it!

She does and lifts out an elaborate, but very elaborate, wide gardening hat, and all the adults break up at the sight of it.

RUTH: Travis, honey, what is that?

TRAVIS (who thinks it is beautiful and appropriate): It's a gardening hat! Like the ladies always have on in the magazines when they work in their gardens.

BENEATHA (giggling fiercely): Travis—we were trying to make Mama Mrs. Miniver—not Scarlett O'Hara!

MAMA (indignantly): What's the matter with you all! This here is a beautiful hat! (Absurdly.) I always wanted me one just like it!

Which word or phrase from the text best supports the idea that the adults think the hat is inappropriate?

“have mercy”
(giggling fiercely)
(indignantly)
“What’s the matter”

Answers

Answer:

(giggling fiercely).

Explanation:

Lorraine Hansberry's "A Raisin In The Sun," tells the story of the Younger family, an African-American family living in the Southside of Chicago amidst the issues of racism. The novel deals with issues of racism, desire for progress, family, love, loyalty, etc.

In the given passage from the excerpt, Travis had brought his grandmother Mama a "wide, gardening hat" which the adults think is inappropriate. But Mama Younger thinks "is a beautiful hat" and declared that "[she'd] always wanted one just like it." But when the adults "giggled fiercely", this 'aside' is suggestive of their reaction of finding the young boy's gift funny and hilarious.

Thus, the correct answer is "giggling fiercely".

Answer:

B) giggling fiercely

2. Should Alex cook dinner? Yes, he should.

3. My friend should try to quit smoking.

4. We should stay at home. We shouldn't go out.

5. Should they watch TV all day? No, they shouldn't.

6. Stewart looks very sick. He should see a doctor.

7. You shouldn't drive a car without wearing your seat belt.

8. What should we eat for dinner tonight?

9. There's a fire in the kitchen. What should we do?

10. Please be quiet! You shouldn't make so much noise in the library!

Explanation:

"Should" is a modal verb used to express suggestion, recommendation, or even obligation, although lightly. As a modal verb, it stays the same no matter the person of speech being used with it: "I should, you should, he should," etc. Also, the verb that follows it should NOT be preceded by "to": "You should go."

In the negative form, "should" can be contracted with "not", becoming "shouldn't". In the interrogative form, it comes before the subject of the sentence. Take a look at the examples below:

I should stop eating so much fast food. You shouldn't talk to your parents like that. Should I call her one more time? No, you shouldn't.

How can I introduce this letter you have recently arranged a Surprise event for a member of your family write a letter to your friend about the event

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

To enter a letter is very simple. You should start with a greeting and then write why you are writing this letter. After that you can continue writing the letter normally. Here is an example, where the introduction is in bold.:

Dear friend.

I'm writing this letter to tell you about the surprise birthday party my brothers and I threw for my mom. It was a shame you weren't in town to participate, but I can't guarantee it was a lot of fun.

My brothers and I had already planned this party a few months ago and it was actually easy to organize. We hired a lady to cook the food, made a selection of songs that my mother likes and invited her closest friends. The decoration was up to my younger sister, who wanted to decorate the house like a 70's disco. There was only one problem... How would we get my mother out of the house so she wouldn't see the decoration, the food and the arrival of the guests?

In this regard we need my grandmother's help. As you know my grandmother lives half an hour from my house and we asked her to pretend she was sick and needed my mother to help her with some activities. We asked grandma to hold our mother for about an hour and then ask her to spend the night here at our house and that's what my grandmother did.

Everything went as planned, the party was beautiful and my mother was very happy.

I hope we can have more parties like this and in the years to come, I hope to count on you.

Graciously.

Today, federal laws are enacted by Congress, enforced by the President, and interpreted by the Supreme Court. This is similar to which philosopher's ideals of government?

Answers

Answer:

John Locke

Explanation:

John Locke was a English philosopher. He is considered to be one of the most influential thinkers of Enlightenment. He worked towards the Enlightenment and also made significant contributions to the formation as well as development of liberalism. Therefore, John Locke was known as  "Father of Liberalism".

His ideas about the government is similar to today's federal government and how it works. He claimed that government is based on the idea of the separation of powers. John Locke makes the case in separating the powers of the Legislative from the Executive.

Thus, the modern federal laws which are enacted by the Congress, and enforced by the President and that interpreted by the Supreme Court is quite similar to the ideas of John Locke.

Palo Duro

Some places simply warrant more attention. One of the most illustrious sites in the world is known by very few except regular adventure-goers. Travelers are awed by Palo Duro Canyon as its deep, red landscape appears seemingly out of nowhere. The canyon, similar in length to the Grand Canyon in Arizona, has scenic views just as glorious as those of the more famous canyon. At night, coyotes can be heard in the distance as the high winds gust through the valley, echoing the howls off the steep canyon walls. During the day, the hateful sun heats up every visible crevice, contrasting the cool, breezy nights. The favorable aspect of the day is its gift of sight, of the stunning erosion that has taken place over millions of years, or of the rocks impossibly balanced on one another and their relentless determination to remain unmoved. This place and its striking diversity deserve recognition for doing exactly what nature does best: providing wonder to all.

What does the photograph show that the passage does not describe

Answers

Answer:

The vegetation consisting of shrubs and trees.

Explanation:

The photograph attached to this description of the Canyon contains depictions of green hardwood shrubs that form part of the biological diversity in this site. The name of the site itself is a Spanish word that means "hardwood". This refers to the shrubs and trees that can be found here. It is believed that this Canyon was first discovered by Europeans that engaged in the Coronado expedition.

So, given the picture, every other feature of the Canyon was described except for its vegetation.

As the novel begins, Ole Kaelo is reprimanding loaders for being slow. The couple is relocating from Nakuru to Nasila after Ole Kaelo is retrenched from Agribix Limited where he has been working as the commercial manager. Not long ago Kaelo had denied Taiyo a chance to go to Mombasa to develop her talent.
That is why Taiyo sympathizes with the loaders who are receiving strict instructions from her father. The two girls visualize what life in the new environment will be like. The girls are experiencing apprehension.
Nakuru town has always bustled with life and they fear the shop that their father aims at starting may not pick.
Taiyo encourages Resian that they should hope for the best. Resian requests Taiyo to plead with their father so that they can join Egerton University. Resian knows her father listens to Taiyo.
Through a flash back, the reader learns that Ole Kaelo and his wife Mama Milanoi have lived for twenty two years since they married. Women from Nasila had earlier visited Mama Milanoi at Nakuru and hinted at the hostility expected especially because the daughters are not married. Kaelo has been a hardworking man, a trait that led to his promotion at Agribix Limited.
The retrenchment has triggered ambition to work so as to be rich. A few kilometers to Nasila one lorry breaks down but soon it is fixed and the family reach uncle Simiren's homestead where they are welcomed warmly. It is now thirty years since Ole Kaelo left Nasila for Nakuru.
In all this time he has been away, uncle Simiren has been representing his elder brother. Elders are not happy with Kaelo's monogamous marriage. Simiren on his part has four wives and sixteen children.

Explanation:

Out of the options provided, the one that best paraphrases the second quatrain of “Sonnet 73,” by William Shakespeare is the one where the speaker compares himself to a day at twilight because the sonnet is about mortality and death. The ideas about the day, the sun, and the darkness are a metaphor for life and the proximity of death that comes with getting old, not a reference to the beauty of Twilight or how much better vision people have during the day.

Answers

the last one is the one that does not have a nominative absolute

The sentence that does not have a nominative absolute, is - "The hurricane season being over, people returned to the cottages on the beach." Therefore option D is the correct resposne.

What is a Nominative Absolute?

A nominative absolute in English grammar is a stand-alone (absolute) portion of a sentence that defines the primary subject and verb. It is made up of either a noun in the common scenario or pronouns in the nominative case coupled with a predicate that isn't a finite verb and serves typically as a sentence modifier. The most frequent predicates are a descriptor or a participle.

Although it can sometimes come in the middle of the sentence, it is most frequently at the start or end. Its equivalents include the prepositional phrases absolute in Sanskrit, the laser-assisted absolute in Latin, and the definite absolute in Greek.

You may usually (though not always) turn a nominative absolute into a subordinate clause by adding subjugating conjunction (such as "because" or "when") as well as a derivative of the verb to be. This is one technique to recognize a nominative absolute.
