Answer:

<em>he breathed upon the great rocks and lumps of earth </em>

<em>the Moon rose big and full over the water</em>

Explanation:

Imagery is a method, or should we say a literary device, that uses figurative language filled with descriptions in order to help us create mental images of the text. It helps us, not just to read the text, but to experience it with all our senses. Imagery vividly describes how something looks like, sounds like, feels like, tastes like or smells like (uses our senses to describe something).

So, knowing this, best fitting answers would be:

- he breathed upon the great rocks and lumps of earth

- the Moon rose big and full over the water

Which two excerpts from Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis show how Gregor’s sister, Grete, transformed in the story?
VLD [36.1K]

The correct answers are 1 y 4.  In option one it is evident that Grete, who at the beginning of the story was a sweet girl, now has changed completely with his brother, Gregor, who was the one that always believed in her and that supported her studies. Nonetheless, since Gregor has become a bug, Grete no longer loves him because she is disgusted by the new appearance of her brother and she cannot stand going inside his room with his parents in order to check how Gregor is improving. Option four has to do with the psychical transformation of Grete from a girl to a woman, according to her parents’ opinion as a consequence of her growing.  

Options two and three are not correct since the first one does not mention the transformation that Grete suffered through the time. It only mentions the fact that Grete had been sleeping since the three gentlemen had move in and it does not have a connection with her transformation. On the other hand, option three has nothing to do with her transformation since the excerpt is talking about the fact that Mr. Samsa is chasing out the three gentlemen and one of them is asking why is she doing that and she then answers that this is what she wanted to say; after that, the three men just went out.

uysha [10]

Answer:

"The common garter snake, a predator of rough-skinned newts, exhibits a resistance to the toxin produced by the newt."

Explanation:

The phrase "The common garter snake, a predator of rough-skinned newts, exhibits a resistance to the toxin produced by the newt" literally shows the relationship established between the common garter snake and the rough-skinned newts. This sentence shows that animals have a relationship of predatorism, since the common garter snake feeds on rough-skinned newts, since the snake is resistant to the toxins produced by the newts, managing to establish predatorism with efficiency.

Discuss why unequal access to basic services amount to social injustice , discuss 3 points
Pani-rosa [81]

We can discuss it from many different points. However, since in this question we have to look at this only from 3 aspects, let's look at the cases of education, health and social security. In all cases, if people don't have an equal access to these basic services, they will face with problems. If you cannot have a proper education, you cannot get a better job and it will create financial instability in the future. If you don't have an access to the healthy services in case of food, sanitation and water, you will easily have health problems. If you don't have a social security, burglars will steal your possessions easily.
