Select all the correct answers. What two suggestions about parish officials are made in the last two sentences of this excerpt f

rom Charles Dickens's Oliver Twist? Occasionally, when there was some more than usually interesting inquest upon a parish child who had been overlooked in turning up a bedstead, or inadvertently scalded to death when there happened to be a washing—though the latter accident was very scarce, anything approaching to a washing being of rare occurrence in the farm—the jury would take it into their heads to ask troublesome questions, or the parishioners would rebelliously affix their signatures to a remonstrance. But these impertinences were speedily checked by the evidence of the surgeon, and the testimony of the beadle; the former of whom had always opened the body and found nothing inside (which was very probable indeed), and the latter of whom invariably swore whatever the parish wanted; which was very self-devotional. Besides, the board made periodical pilgrimages to the farm, and always sent the beadle the day before, to say they were going. The children were neat and clean to behold, when they went; and what more would the people have!
They did not know how to perform their duties.

They deliberately ignored the suffering of the parish children.

They were haughty men who considered themselves very important.

They had a poor opinion of the woman who looked after the children.

They wanted to give the impression that they were performing their work.

The correct answers are B&D; They deliberately ignored the suffering of the parish children. They wanted to give the impression that they were performing their work.

Further Explanation:

After reading the excerpt it can be concluded that the evidence was checked in a rapid/speedy manner and they disregarded the dangers the children were in. This shows that they wanted to give the impression they were doing their job without actually putting any effort into finding out the truth of the goings on.

They knew that the children were being overlooked and they all turned a blind eye to the abuses being dealt to the children. Since the jury would ask troublesome questions and the parishioners signing just to be rebellious this shows that the parish children were being deliberately ignored and their suffering was looked over.

Analyze the elements of modernist poetry in Elizabeth Bishop’s poem "The Fish."
iVinArrow [24]

In her poem “The Fish,” Bishop describes her emotions when she catches a big fish and observes it carefully. The poet’s imagist style is found in her detailed description of the fish that she caught:

its pattern of darker brown

was like wallpaper:

shapes like full-blown roses

stained and lost through age.

Instead of using a specific rhyme scheme to give the poem a musical quality, Bishop uses literary devices, such as alliteration, to create rhythm in her poem:

still crimped from the strain and snap

She also creates a musical rhythm within the lines by using assonance:

frayed and wavering,

a five-haired beard of wisdom

trailing from his aching jaw.

I stared and stared

Which BEST describes Mr. Bixby's influence on the narrator's learning how to "read" the water?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Excerpt from: Life on the Mississippi

Mark Twain

THERE was no use in arguing with a person like this. I promptly put such a strain on my memory that by and by even the shoal water and the countless crossing-marks began to stay with me. But the result was just the same. I never could more than get one knotty thing learned before another presented itself. Now I had often seen pilots gazing at the water and pretending to read it as if it were a book; but it was a book that told me nothing. A time came at last, however, when Mr. Bixby seemed to think me far enough advanced to bear a lesson on water-reading. So he began—
