This question refers to Anton Chekhov's short story "The Bet".
Answer:
The banker feels that he will be ruined after the bet because he is no longer rich. By losing the bet, he will have to pay the lawyer 2 million.
Explanation:
In "The Bet" a lawyer and a rich banker make a bet. The lawyer will try and spend 15 years living in a solitary. His point is to prove that life in prison is better than being punished with death. He thinks that living in miserable conditions is better than not living at all. The banker, who thinks death is more merciful, is willing to pay the lawyer 2 million if he really can spend all those years living like that.
However, in that time, both men end up changing a lot. The banker is not as rich as he used to be. He fears losing the bet and having to pay the lawyer, since giving away two million would ruin him. He decides to kill the lawyer but, upon entering his room, he finds only a letter. The lawyer has left. After 15 years reading, studying, and learning, he realizes there is more to life. He now despises little men who can only value material things, such as money.
In the lady or the tiger which information about the princess is most important to help the reader decide whether she chooses the lady or the tiger
Answer:
The most important information is her semi-barbarian behavior.
Explanation:
"The lady or the tiger" was written by Frank Richard Stockton and tells the story of a semi-barbarian king who invented a system of justice where those accused of a crime should choose their destiny between two doors. Behind a door is a tiger that would devour him and behind the other door was a woman, who would absolve him of his crimes and marry him. The princess, daughter of that king, also exhibited semi-barbarian behavior and this is a very important characteristic about her, because one day, the man she was in love with, was accused of a crime, and had to submit to the system of justice idealized by her father. The princess doubts whether she will send the man she loves to death, or whether she will let him marry another woman.
Answer:
her semi-barbaric nature

Answer:
It was a dark quiet night, Halloween night when Celestia screamed. Celestia was a dragon human hybrid with dark blue hair and kind light blue eyes, dark blue wings, a dark blue tail, her hair was always in what looked like two buns on top of her head the little bit of hair that was too short-covering her ears with her bangs shadowing her face, she was in a witch costume that was black dark purple and dark pink with a black hat. Nikki came running her longish white and purple hair in a messy bun, she was wearing her mad scientist costume but the fake blo.od looked suspiciously realistic. Wannabe ran in looking like the human form of sans along with Angel a few feet behind him dressed as a fairy. Nikki stood staring trying not to cry. Nikki’s friend Emery came in wearing her police uniform on and blue blonde hair up in a ponytail along with Rihanna in her outfit that she wore at her concert the night before, the light baby blue costume made her light pink eyes stand out and her fox tail nearly invisible under a big black bow, her hair in ponytails right behind her fox ears. The two stared in horror at what seemed to have happened, one of their friends had been brut.ally mu.rdered but their face was unrecognizable from the damage. Nikki stood up and took a headcount matching names with faces until she realized who it was. “I’m going to find the person who did this and make them pay,” Nikki said in a dark evil angry voice, she was mad and near her breaking point. Nikki left the room unable to look at her friend lying there dead while everyone else looked at each other. “Kind convenient YOU found him like this Celie…” Rihanna said to Celestia glaring at her, the two never liked each other and were always fighting. “First of all, I couldn’t handle the blo.od. Second of all, that’s my friend! Why would I hurt him!?!?” Celestia snapped, angry she was accused of the crime. “You found him like this. That's a little suspicious don’t you think?” Rihanna said giving Celestia looks. “I hate to say this but Nikki could have been faking the blood on her costume looks a bit too realistic…” Angel said her voice trailing off, she hated to accuse Nikki but at this point, they were all suspects except for Angel. She had said before that she'd never been able to kill someone and get away with it she’d end up admitting she did it. Nikki came back in a completely different costume, her Sara Sanderson costume to be exact. “Why did you change costumes?” Angel questioned Nikki, changing costumes because there was what looked like blood on the other was suspicious. “You act like I can choose to wear only one costume, heck I’ll probably end up wearing a cosplay before we figure out who did this,” Nikki answered, it was true Nikki tended to wear up to ten outfits a day so why would today be any different? Emery glared at Nikki, she didn’t believe her story. “Seems pretty convenient she had to change costumes so soon...” She thought suspecting Nikki was hiding something. “Let’s do this Danganronpa style!” Angel shouted, she had always thought how they did the class trials on that anime and in the game was cool. Everyone got to a podium and glared at one another. “I was passing out candy to the trick-or-treaters,” Rihanna said then turning her head to Celestia who was on her left. “I was in the Bathroom,” Celestia said, nobody was going to question her now. “I was fixing my fursuit, one of the ears fell off,” Nikki said with the tail to her fursuit in hand. “I was outside sitting on the porch,” Emery said pointing at the door. “I’m too dum.b to pull something like this off you guys know this,” Angel stated honestly, she wasn’t the brightest bulb. “I was in the kitchen when I heard someone yell for help.” Wannabe said solemnly.

Answer:
Amy woke up cheerfully and checked the calendar to be sure it was the right day. It was her 16th birthday! She had been planning the party for weeks and it was finally ready. The invites were sent out to her 4 friends, the decorations were set up, the cake had arrived, the table was set, and the music was full blast. She had dreamed of this day her whole life and her dream would finally come true at 5:00pm. But come 6:30pm, there was still nobody to be seen. She thought they might've all been riding together and got stuck. She called them but no one answered. Two hours later, there was still no one around and Amy was left alone on her birthday. Her friends had ditched her.
Amy woke up the next morning depressed and sluggish. She was so disappointed and angry with her friends. She spent the whole day sketching on her porch when her friend Laura came up to her with her 3 other friends and exclaimed, "Why aren't you dressed? We're leaving in an hour!" Amy was confused. They missed her birthday, ignored her calls, and now they were telling her they were leaving. "We need to go soon if we're going to get a good spot at the concert," said Laura. At this point, Amy asked them, "What the hell are you talking about?" Laura grabbed her phone and pointed to a text explaining that they had tickets to go see their favorite band at the Hollywood Bowl. But the message was sent to a "Sammuel Redman." Amy pointed this out to Laura and they realized that she sent the information to the wrong person.
Laura apologized and Amy hustled into her birthday dress. They spent all night at the concert and had a great time.

Can someone do a one paragraph summary of Milkweed (the whole book)
Jackboot control over Warsaw continues to tighten and with time all the Jews in city, including Misha, the other boys, and Janina’s family are forced into the ghetto. Janina’s family includes Mr. Milgrom, Mrs. Milgrom, and Uncle Shepsel. The family lives in a small room that Uncle Shepsel calls a “closet” (60). Jackboots build a wall around the ghetto and attempt to starve out the people within. Smuggling becomes commonplace in the city and Misha begins sneaking out of a “two bricks wide” hole in the wall to steal food (73). He then smuggles food for both the Milgroms and Doctor Korczak’s orphans. Misha is now considered an honorary member of the Milgrom family and Janina views him as an older brother. Soon, Janina begins to smuggle food, too.

Which of the following sentences is complex?
Danny and Erica went for a bike ride.
Danny and Erica rode their bikes down the trail, through the woods, and along the riverbank.
After Danny and Erica rode their bikes throughout the countryside, they went back to Erica’s house and had some cool lemonade.
Danny and Erica rode their bikes again the next day.
Answer:
The sentence that is complex is:
C. After Danny and Erica rode their bikes throughout the countryside, they went back to Erica's house and had some cool lemonade.
Explanation:
A complex sentence is formed by joining an independent clause to a dependent or subordinate one. An independent clause is able to stand alone as a sentence because it can convey a complete thought on its own. A dependent clause on the other hand, cannot do that. Alone, it sounds incomplete.
The sentence "After Danny and Erica rode their bikes throughout the countryside, they went back to Erica's house and had some cool lemonade" is an example of a complex sentence. The independent clause is:
- they went back to Erica's house and had some cool lemonade
The dependent clause is the one beginning with a subordinating conjunction (after), and which cannot stand alone as a sentence:
- After Danny and Erica rode their bikes throughout the countryside

D No choice
Answer:
I think its A
Explanation:
Answer:
A. In order to
Explanation:
My father and me went to the downtown* in order to buy some dress for my mother.
The sentence seems a bit confusing though. If I were to write it, then it'll be "My father and me went downtown in order to buy a dress for my mother."
Refer to the passage from "The Wise Fool.”
Further discussion seemed useless, and the meeting was just about to break up when the fool walked up and demanded to be heard. "Listen to me,” he said. "The fairies say my mother should die. It is a fair punishment for her crime. But the fairies walked across my land as they came to the village. I demand that they rub out their footprints before they are allowed to take mother away.” It seemed a foolish, meaningless demand, and everyone said, "How simple!” The fairies agreed.
At sundown the fairies were still working on the sandy plot. Two days went by. And a week. And another. Because just as one set of footprints were got rid of, another set appeared. By the end of the second week, in fact, the fairies had covered the entire plot with footprints. At last they gave up and let the woman live.
What is the moral of the passage?
It is unwise to make deals with fairies.
It is impossible to erase all of one’s footprints.
There can be wisdom in an act that seems foolish.
A punishment should be fair and based on the crime.
There can be wisdom in an act that seems foolish.

Answer:

Explanation:
Help 10 pts! (will mark brainliest ) Describe the ways in which the novel met or did not meet your expectations. How were both Victor Frankenstein and the monster he created different in Shelley's novel than in other interpretations or adaptations of the Frankenstein story that you've encountered? Explain any elements of the novel that you found surprising in terms of its treatment of characters, events, and themes.
Answer and Explanation:
The additions to "Frankenstein" leave a lot to be desired. This is because they present the monster as a violent creature, without the ability to think, being completely monstrous and without reasoning. This is completely different from the book, as we know that the monster is a violent creature, but we can see that its intellectual and cognitive capacity is very high. The monster is a big intellectual, which reinforces the understanding that he has about him, about his appearance and about the world around him. This promotes a depth in the work that we are unable to see in its adaptations. In the book all the actions of the monster are done on the basis of reason and thought, in the adaptations the monster acts in complete irrationality.
We can also see many differences in relation to Victor's representations. In the book victor he is a very intelligent man, however disturbed by everything that creation has caused. Even with the pertrbation and sadness, Victor maintains his intellectual integrity, which makes the fight, between him and the monster, more significant. In the adaptations Victor is shown as a crazy man, a completely insane scientist, which takes away all the depth of the character.
The adaptations of the work have shallow themes and are limited to themes such as the creation revolt against the creator and the dangers of science. The book has many themes that are deep and well explored. The book shows the fascination and fear of humans in relation to science and technology, in addition to topics such as alienation, revenge, ambition, dangers of knowledge, abandonment, depression, life, death, among others.

In the second paragraph, the author’s depiction of the “scheme of merriment” most clearly conveys his
A. naive simplicity
B. cautious optimism
C. neutral position
D. ironic perspective
E. sense of resentment
Answer:
D. ironic perspective
Explanation:
Answer D
Correct. Irony emerges from the differences between an argument and the readers’ expectations or values. At the very beginning of the second paragraph, the author undermines the readers’ expectations regarding schemes of merriment (plans for enjoyment) with the assertion that “Nothing is more hopeless than a scheme of merriment.” He then goes on to describe how the anticipated pleasure of participants ends up ruining a social gathering: wits and humorists who come together “prepared to laugh and to applaud” are unable to perform as expected, and the party drags on painfully “till at last none can bear any longer the presence of the rest.” The failed social gathering is just one example that the author uses to convey his ironic perspective regarding people’s attempts to enjoy themselves; the example of the traveler who embarks on a “journey of pleasure” (paragraph 4, sentence 1) illustrates again the ironic contrast between people’s imagination of pleasurable activities and their actual experience of such activities.
Answer: d. ironic perspective

What sacrifices were made by the characters in "The Rainbow Crow" and "The Silent Songbird" ? How were the sacrifices alike, how were they different, and which do you feel had the most important results? Write an essay or two to three paragraphs explaining your answers. Be sure to include details from both texts in your answer.
Both "The Rainbow Crow" and "The Silent Songbird" portray characters who make selfless sacrifices for their loved ones. The crow's sacrifice had a life-saving impact, while Evangeline's sacrifice showcased her sense of responsibility.
In the story "The Rainbow Crow," the crow made a lot of sacrifices to save the animals in his community. The crow was previously known for his beautiful singing voice. However, he offered his singing voice as a sacrifice, went to the Great Spirit, and brought down fire to save his friends from the ice.
On the other hand, in "The Silent Songbird," the protagonist, Evangeline, sacrifices her happiness and freedom for her family's financial security. She chose to marry a man she did not love and leave behind the man she loves to help her family. The sacrifices made by the characters in both the stories were different, but their motives were the same, which was to save their loved ones. The crow gave up something he loved to protect his friends, whereas Evangeline chose to marry someone she didn't love to ensure her family's well-being.
The crow's sacrifice had a more significant impact because he saved the animals in his community from dying in the cold. He was brave and selfless, and that is why he is celebrated as a hero. In contrast, Evangeline's sacrifice did not have a life-changing impact. However, it showed that she was responsible and cared for her family.
In conclusion, the sacrifices made by the characters in both "The Rainbow Crow" and "The Silent Songbird" were selfless, and they both did it for their loved ones. Although their sacrifices were different, they both have similarities in their reasons. The most important sacrifice was that of the Rainbow Crow, as it had a life-saving impact on the animals.
