Answer:

A. It encourages Norma to consider using the button unit.

Explanation:

The short story <em>Button, Button</em> by Richard Matheson revolves around the theme of how a person may do anything to get money even at the cost of someone's life. This story deals with human greed and selfish nature.

Mr. Steward had told the Lewises about the button and how it works. Once pushed, it will kill someone they don't know and don't need to know. But the upside of it was that they will get $50,000. At first, the Lewises unitedly rejected the offer and gave the package with Mr. Steward. But Norma Lewis called him the next day, which led to the return of the package. And without her husband's knowledge, she kept it in the house. She began to conjure up reasons for why the offer, stating <em>"some eccentric millionaire is playing games with people"</em> or that it might not be as serious as they had thought it'd be. This return of the package only encourages Norma to consider pushing the button, which we know led to the death of Arthur and thus, Norma got the right amount, which is $50,000 of his life insurance.

antoniya [11.8K]

<u>Answer</u>:

<u>The reference highlights President Eisenhower’s deep dislike of the governor and shows his willingness to remove him from office.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Indeed, it reaffirms the reasons for the President's removal of Governor Faubus from office.

Remember, back in the 1950s during the racial discrimination crises, the Supreme Court made a unanimous decision to allow black students to attend the same school with the whites.

However, Governor Faubus went against the court ruling by directing that black students be prevented from coming to the Little Rock Central High School. An action that made Eisenhower dislike him.

Write a few sentences describing what you visualized, heard, and smelled when you imagined the poem.
Fudgin [204]

Answer: I went out to the hazel woods

Because a fire was in my head,

And cut and peeled a hazel wand,

And hooked a berry to a thread;

And when white moths were on the wing,

And moth-like stars were flickering out,

I dropped the berry in a stream

And caught a little silver trout.

When I had laid it on the floor

I went to blow the fire a-flame,

But something rustled on the floor,

And someone called me by my name:

It had become a glimmering girl

With apple blossom in her hair

Who called me by my name and ran

And faded through the brightening air.

Though I am old with wandering

Through hollow lands and hilly lands,

I will find out where she has gone,

And kiss her lips and take her hands;

And walk among long dappled grass,

And pluck till time and times are done,

The silver apples of the moon,

The golden apples of the sun.
