Answer:

C. The author refers to the evil of Sodom and Gomorrah to suggest a  comparison to the contemporary city of New Orleans.

Explanation:

An allusion is a figure that is used to describe something without directly referring to it and explicitly saying what it is, but by using some different ideas, usually knowledgable to a wider audience.

That is why the author here refers to what he imagines in New Orleans as Sodom and Gomorrah. <u>He refers to the well known Biblical story about the cities where many vile people lived who did harm and sins, so God destroyed them at the end as a punishment for their outrageous behavior.</u>

<u>By alluding to these Biblical places and stories, the author is trying to say us all the worst possible happenings were present to see in New Orleans, and still are, as he is still "to this day" making that mental connection. </u>

Read the following passage to answer questions
7nadin3 [17]
1.   <span>A. strength

The simile that likens his shoulders to a full sail shows the force that must be exerted to plough the field. A "globed" sail would be rounded because of the powerful winds blowing against it. Just as the wind's, resistance is transformed into something useful by moving the boat forwards; his father's exertion transforms the land into fields that grow crops of food. While ploughing the land in this way would certainly require knowledge and skill, the simile does not refer to these qualities.

2. </span><span>D. "Mapping the furrow exactly" </span>

Reference to the father's expertise is indicated by his "mapping the furrow" and doing so "exactly."

Answer:

Medical practices and illness in Elizabethan England

Explanation:

This book written by Ian Mortimen <u>deals with medical issues in England during the period in which Elizabeth was the queen. </u>

This was a period in which illnesses such as a flu would kill people because <u>antibiotics didn't exist and the lack of hygiene was catastrophic. </u>There were no sewers, people never made the connection between washing their hands and preventing illnesses. As a result, plagues would be very common and people would die on a daily basis.

Very few children survived, for example Shakespeare expirienced the death of his son Hamnet. People would have several children because they knew that only a couple of them would survive childhood.
