Read the excerpt from Midsummer by Derek Walcott. With the stampeding hiss and scurry of green lemmings, midsummer’s leaves race

to extinction like the roar of a Brixton riot tunneled by water hoses; they seethe toward autumn’s fire—it is in their nature, being men as well as leaves, to die for the sun. Based on the excerpt, what is the speaker’s perspective on the riot? The speaker thinks that the riot was a mistake. The speaker thinks that the riot was somewhat inevitable. The speaker thinks that the riot should have happened in the fall. The speaker thinks that the riot was entirely preventable.

An Inspector Calls
klemol [59]

Answer:

The Birling family and Gerald Croft are celebrating Sheila’s engagement to Gerald

• Although there are a few signs that not everything is perfect (Mr Birling is too anxious to impress Gerald, Eric  

seems nervous and Sheila mentions that Gerald did not come near her the previous summer) there is a  

happy, light-hearted atmosphere.

• Mr Birling makes arrogant speeches, telling the other characters his views on science, the Titanic and the  

relationship between bosses and workers, saying that a man ‘has to mind his own business and look after  

himself’

1) Each state should enact a law that makes wearing seat belts mandatory for all passengers and drivers in cars and trucks. (2)
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

(4) Some people believe that the government does not have the right to force people to be safe, and that these laws are unfair.

Explanation:

Counter argument is a statement which opposes writer's main argument for any purpose. However when a writer opposes one's own argument, it is usually for the purpose of including all point of views and aspects of the problem. In most of such cases the author negates (presents counter of counter argument) to finally establish one's original argument.

In this passage, the author is trying to establish the importance of making seat belts mandatory by law in each state of the United States. However in line 4, he presents some other people's point of view on this issue. And in line 5, restates his/her original argument. The overall effect, the author is trying to bring about in the audience by including the counter argument is that, he/she has already considered the counter argument as well.

Which themes are portrayed in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich? Praskovya Fedorovna came of a good famil
Pie
As usual in life, motives can be complicated. The theme of Ivan Illych marrying this woman because of her money and her social position is one possibility that he discusses (she comes from a "good" family and has some property). The other theme is that she is pretty and he fell in love with her and to some extent she complements his views on life. In choosing from the options, re the themes, I would say that a) conforming to social conventions and b) the necessity of companionshp should be the two main themes in this excerpt.
