Answers

Answer:

This is a minor character.

Explanation:

Majestic characters are those who are the protagonists of history, those who have greater relevance and who are the center of the narrative and the events that happen.

Minor characters are those secondary characters, without much relevance, but that provide support for a particular scene within the story.

Regarding the character shown in the question above, we can see that she is supporting a scene, but that she is not so relevant to the whole story, since not even the character's name is mentioned.

Answers

Answer:

to help readers understand how remarkable the success of the voyage was 1

Explanation:

This is true because, it would help the reader to learn that, the same hurricane which they are complaining about, another steam boat weighing 500-ton just passed through the same hurricane successfully. That it weathered the hurricane, shows that, it was not affected by the hurricane.

Read this poem: how like a winter hath my absence been from thee, the pleasure of the fleeting year! What freezing have I felt, what dark days seen! What old becember's bareness every where! And yet this time removed was summer's time; The teeming autumn, big with rich increases, bearing the wanton burden of the prime, like widow'd wombs after their lord's decease: yet this abundant issue seem'd to me but hope of orphans and unfather'd fruit; for summer and his pleasures wait on thee, and, thou away, the very birds are mute; or, if they sing, 'its with so dull a cheer that leaves look pale, dreading the winter's near. Where does the tone shift in the poem.

Answers

Answer:

The tone of the poem changes along the lines "The teeming autumn, big with rich increases, bearing the wanton burden of the prime, like widow'd wombs after their lord's decease"

Explanation:

The poem has a tone of melancholy and sadness, but the lines "The teeming autumn, big with rich increases, bearing the wanton burden of the prime, like widow'd wombs after their lord's decease" cause a change of tone. This is because these lines talk about abundance, hope that provides a certain comfort to the reader, but quickly the tone returns to being melancholy, removing this comfort previously achieved.

Answer:

Leadership:

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

Family:The stick-together families are happier by far

Than the brothers and the sisters who take separate highways are.

The gladdest people living are the wholesome folks who make

A circle at the fireside that no power but death can break.

Love:

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height

My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight

For the ends of being and ideal grace.

I love thee to the level of every day's

Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.

I love thee freely, as men strive for right.

I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.

I love thee with the passion put to use

In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.

I love thee with a love I seemed to lose

With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,

Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,

I shall but love thee better after death.

Culture:

But, to his native centre fast,

Shall into Future fuse the Past,

And the world's flowing fates in his own mould recast.

Opals come in a variety of colors, and they range from opaque to transparent. The most desirable opals are known as the precious opals. They have a special iridescent quality. As you move the opal under light, it shows a spectrum of colors.Which words provide the best context clues for the meaning of iridescent?

Answers

Answer:

"variety, light, spectrum of colors"

Explanation:

The words that provide the best context clues for the meaning of "iridescent" are "variety, light, spectrum of colors".

Iridescent has to do with variety of colors that changes in different types of light or angles of light. The colors are usually shining, bright and lustrous. The word is coined to mean rainbow-like colors - a spectrum of colors.

Therefore, "variety, light, spectrum of colors" actually provides the best context clues.

Answer:

1: hints that point to the meaning of a word

2: past the date of being safe to drink

3: "variety, light, spectrum of colors"

4: had not eaten since breakfast

5: "like not being able to eat at a lunch counter"

Bicycling by young women has helped to swell the ranks of reckless girls who finally drift into the standing army of outcast women of the United States," wrote Smith in a resolution issued by her group, the Women's Rescue League. Which best describes Charlotte Smith's viewpoint? Women should not cycle until they are older. Women should learn to cycle properly. Women should avoid cycling. Women should cycle only as a hobby.

Answers

Answer:

The option which best describes Charlotte Smith's viewpoint is:

C. Women should avoid cycling.

Explanation:

According to the book "Wheels of Change", Charlotte Smith condemned cycling as an indecent practice for women. In Smith's opinion, women who ride a bike are less moral and less religious than those who do not. She even accused riding bikes of being unhealthy - which we have known for decades to be untrue. With that in mind, we can easily choose letter C as the best option. To Smith, women should not cycle at all.

what is a synonym for buttress in the sentence below? the columns acted as an buttress or a support for the porch roof.
a . columns
b. Porch's roof
c. Acted AS
d. Support

Answers

Answer:

d. Support

Explanation:

A synonym for "buttress" in the given sentence is support. The term "buttress" is used to describe the columns' role as providing support for the porch roof. Thus, "support" serves as a synonym, indicating the function of the columns in reinforcing or bolstering the structure. Therefore, option d is correct.

A buttress is a structural support typically found in architecture or construction. It is an external, projecting structure that provides additional strength and stability to a wall, building, or other architectural elements.

Buttresses are designed to resist and counteract the lateral forces acting on a structure, such as the pressure from a roof or the weight of upper floors.

They are often characterized by their solid, sturdy appearance and can take various forms, such as stepped, diagonal, or flying buttresses. By transferring the load to the ground or adjacent supports, buttresses help prevent structural collapse and maintain the integrity of the overall construction.

New Technology Leads to Bigger Cities
In the 1800s, the Uniodd States was still a very young nation, trying to solidify its identity. The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain, a fast development of
society following the introduction of machines.

The United States was slower than Great Britain to fully embrace the changes. Yet key technological developments
caused a rapid growth in American urban areas.
Better farming methods and tools in the 1800s increased food production.

Americans were able to grow enough food for their families as well as to sell. The
abundance caused food prices to fall.

The expansion of cotton and the growth of textile factories in northern states helped produce the first wave of American industry. More people turned to work in
northern factories as a way to support their families.

Thousands of immigrants to the United States also settled in or near port cities, looking for work. Even today,
the need for work is a common reason people move to urban areas.

As a result, cities grew in numbers of people and physical space. As more people and businesses moved in, they needed buildings for living and working. They needed ways to move around the city. We call this process urbanization,
In 1820, the United States had only a few cities of 10,000 residents or more. About seven percent of U.S.
residents lived in urban areas. The number of cities with
more than 10,000 people grew quickly over the next 40 years, especially in the Northeast and Midwest. By 1860, about 20 percent lived in cities. Philadelphia and
New York City were the most populated cities in 1860 and would soon reach one million residents.

The urbanization of the United States quickened due to technology improvements. Without innovations in food production, the factories could not have grown so
quickly. The trend quickened after 1860 and continued throughout the 21st century as well. By 2007, more Americans lived in or near cities than they did in rural
areas.
