Read the following excerpt from Kate Chopin's "The Story of an Hour," in which the protagonist, Louise Mallard, is contemplating

her life after learning of the death of her husband.
No; she was drinking the very elixir of life through that open window. Her fancy was running riot along those days ahead of her. Spring days, and summer days, and all sorts of days that would be her own. She breathed a quick prayer that life might be long. It was only yesterday she had thought with a shudder that life might be long.

Based on the excerpt, what does the open window come to symbolize for Louise?

a.)Nature; staring out the window helps Louise reconnect with nature and, in the process, rediscover her family’s identity now that she’s without a husband.

b.)Escape; staring out the window is a means of escaping from the monotony and tediousness of life that Louise experiences on a regular basis.

c.)Independence; staring out the window makes her aware of the life that lies before her, as well as the personal liberty she has within her reach.

d.)Sadness; staring out the window evokes a feeling of sadness within her as she views the world moving on, while she is stuck in her house without the comfort of her husband.

e.)Opportunity; staring out the window opens her eyes to the economic possibilities life presents, even when confronted with hardships and tragedies.

Which sentence in this excerpt from James Joyce's "Araby" indicates that the bazaar is a place devoted to avarice, or greed?
inn [45]

Answer:

Before a curtain, over which the words Café Chantant were written in coloured lamps, two men were counting money on a salver.

Explanation:

This sentence illustrates the avarice present in the bazaar. It seems that this place was not meant to sell things for good profits but for greed to be sensed.  Two men were counting some money on a tray , which gives the idea that it was not a lot. Yet, the two men could have felt some pleasure in counting the money from a tray while being at the café.

grin007 [14]

Answer:

Sentence A.

Explanation:

When using someone else's thoughts, ideas, sentences etc. in your work, it's necessary to avoid plagiarism, by properly quoting them.

There are basically two essential things to pay attention to:

- when paraphrasing someone one must put internal quotation just after the paraphrased piece of information. Internal quotation consists at least of the author's last name and page number from which the information was taken.

- when quoting someone (using his work word-by-word), the quoted content must be placed between quotation marks, followed by internal quotation.

Of course, regardless of the internal quotation, the proper citation must be provided at the end of the work, in the citation list.

So, with all this in mind, we can see that sentence A failed to obey these rules, which marks it as plagiarism.
