Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

"Read the following excerpt from "Madam and the Rent Man" by Langston Hughes.

He said, Madam,

I ain't pleased!

I said, Neither am I.

So we agrees!

The poet chooses to use slang in this stanza because it

A.reflects the way people really spoke, which makes the poem more realistic.  B.avoids using informal language, which is not appropriate for poems.  C.provides a standard rhyme within the stanza, which makes the poem easier to understand.  D.shows a bond between Madam and the rent man that suggests they will resolve their differences.

Answer:

A. reflects the way people really spoke, which makes the poem more realistic.

Explanation:

When the poet decided to use slang in the poem, he wanted to establish a language closer to the readers, so he decided to write in a more informal tone and using common words from the daily lives of people.

This, in addition to bringing the text closer to the reader, allows the reader to read something in a more familiar and realistic language, increasing their understanding of the work.

There are two piles, one containing 9gold coins and the other 11silver coins. The two piles of coins weigh the same. One coin is
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Weight of silver coin = 29.25 units , weight of gold coin = 35.75 units

Explanation:

Let the weight of 1 gold coin be W_{1}

Weight of 1 silver coin be W_{2}

Total no of gold coins = 9

Total no of silver coins = 11

Total weight of gold coins = 9\times W_{1}

Total weight of silver coins = 11\times W_{2}

It is given that both weigh same thus we have

9W_{1}=11W_{2}............(i)

After replacing coins the weights become as under

Gold Stack\\9W_{1}-W_{1}+W_{2}=8W_{1}+W_{2}\\\\SilverStack\\\\11W_{2}-W_{2}+W_{1}=10W_{2}+W_{1}

Now it is given that gold stack weighs 13 unit less thus adding 13 units to gold stack gives it's weight equal to silver stack

the above relation modifies as

8W_{1}+W_{2}+13=10W_{2}+W_{1}\\7W_{1}+13=9W_{2}..........(ii)

8W_{1}+W_{2}+13=10W_{2}+W_{1}\\7W_{1}+13=9W_{2}..........(ii)\\\\7\frac{11W_{2}}\\\\Solving equation i and ii we get\\\\{9}+13=9W_{2}\\\\77W_{2}+117=81W_{2}\\\\4W_{2}=117\\\\W_{2}=\frac{117}{4}=29.25units\\\\W_{1}=\frac{11W_{2}}{9}=35.75units

Over [174]

This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.

Read “Asian Men Can Jump,” by Gish Jen (2012, New York Times)

In 2012, Jeremy Lin led an unexpected winning streak by the New York Knicks, becoming the first Asian-American player to rise to prominence in the National Basketball Association. The writer Gish Jen published the following op-ed reflecting on the significance of Lin’s success.

Read the passage carefully, then complete the following tasks:  

Identify a claim made by Jen and explain the reasoning underlying this claim.

List at least two pieces of supporting evidence from the passage and briefly explain how they support the claim you have identified

Answer:

Jen claims that her brother, Bob, could be "the fittest 58-year-old on the planet." Of course, this is not a claim to be taken literally. It means that his health and physical state is incredibly good for his age.

Explanation:

The evidence she provides is that her brother´s doctor has estimated Bob´s biological age at 35. She further supports her claim saying that "he´s still climbing big mountains in the Himalayas," which is a monumental physical effort.

OLga [1]

Answer:

B). 'Many pilgrims who came to see his Walden house site were outraged  by the commercialism.'

Explanation:

Pathos is described as the 'emotional appeal' in which the author attempts to convince the audience to accept and believe their claim by evoking their emotions.

As per the question, the excerpt 'many pilgrims...commercialism' represents the use of pathos or appeal to emotion as it attempts to convince the readers about the 'negative impacts of commercialism' by evoking their emotions by using the descriptive words like 'outraged' and encourage them to 'live a simple life in solitude and unity of nature.' Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.
