Answer:

Indirectly through his lack of action

Explanation:

In this excerpt from "The Gift of Magi", Jim was described as stopping inside the door and being as<em> immovable </em>as a setter. This was a description of a person not showing any action. His eyes were fixated upon Della, and they were also <em>expressionless</em>. That was the reason why Della found it difficult to read his expression and this made her terrified.

The writer in this excerpt was developing the character of Jim indirectly because no one could really tell what he was up to. He achieved this through Jim's lack of action as demonstrated in the descriptions.

Help me find the right aswer of gaps 2 and 5:
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The correct answers are:

2. unattractive

5. However

Explanation:

In sentence number 2, the correct answer would be <em>unattractive</em>, as we can notice the shop windows discourage shoppers because of their emptiness. <em>Bustling </em>means full of activity,  <em>impressive</em> means special, important or really large,  so those options cannot be considered as a correct answer. Option A could be the correct answer, but <em>unattractive </em>fits better at the context then <em>frequent</em>.

In sentence number 5, the correct answer would be <em>however</em>. <em>Because</em> introduces causes and reasons, by introducing a subordinate clause, which needs a main clause to make it complete. Therefore, it cannot be considered a correct answer. <em>Although</em> means in spite of something and it can be used at the beginning or in the middle of a sentence, but it doesn't have a comma afterward and it cannot be considered as a correct answer.

We use <em>otherwise </em>to introduce a thought or an idea that contains an opposite claim or statement and to express our disagreement. It connects two clauses where the second clause (which contains otherwise) express what would have happened if the action in a first sentence hadn't occurred. Therefore, the correct answer is however. We use however to introduce a statement that expresses contrast with the previous sentence.

How is the agreement structured to reassure both parties that their needs will be met?
Margaret [11]
If there’s supposed to be an attachment there isn’t, but this question out of context is quite simple.

Agreement is a mixture of both parties stating their needs and wants, and through discussion and compromise. It’s finding a common ground where both parties are happy and satisfied with the outcome.

Compare and contrast letter to a young refugee from another and farewell to manzanar
abruzzese [7]

Letter to a Young Refugee from another and Farewell to Manzanar are both stories about struggles of families inside a refugee camp for the former and internment camp for the latter. In the “Letter to a Young refugee” which took place in Guam after the Vietnam war, Lam addresses another refugee he saw in the news to relate his previous experience. The theme is more like, “I know what you are going through.”

In “Farewell to Manzanar”, the main character went back to the old camp in Manzanar much later in her life to reflect on what used to be her life there as a displaced Japanese in America.
