Answer:

Explanation:

I left home as early as 7 am, I needed to get to the train station. I did not want to be late on my first day at work. Luckily for me, I was able to get a bus to the train station just on time. I paid for my ticket and sat down whole waiting for the train to move. It was just a few minutes, but the anxiety I felt made it seem as though I'd been sitting for hours.

The train blared its horn, and we moved. I removed my phone to message my partner, to douse the tension I was feeling. I messaged him and he was trying to calm my nerves. I couldn't fathom why I was restless, the adrenaline rush was quite much for me. I asked him for permission to video call, and he accepted, we were conversing if my memory serves me right, he was complimenting me when I heard a loud screech. My phone fell down on the floor right away.

There were screaming everywhere and my head was banging, I was trying to focus but somehow, I was lying down in an unusual manner. I tried to look through the window, and I was seeing the sky. I couldn't piece it all together, but by the time I got to the window, amidst all the chaos in the cabin it finally made sense to me.

The train had derailed!

Softa [21]
The correct answer is letter <span>A: Certain words such as “Party’s” could have more than one meaning and reveals sarcasm in the author’s tone. 
</span>
The author used ambiguity in such lines because he was sarcastic about the event that was about to commence. He could have used the words "squad" or "cavalry" but he picked the word party to show his sarcastic tone. Ambiguous means, words that are open to more than one interpretation by the reader. The author gave the readers the chance to decipher how the characters are going to act out in the situation.

Why has the poet compared imagination to a soaring bird in this excerpt from the poem "On Imagination" by Phillis Wheatley? Imag
Serga [27]
In the poem "On Imagination" by Phyllis Wheatley, imagination was compared to that of a soaring bird probably because the bird can reach the highest of mountains, the clouds and even beyond the sky. Just like the imagination, the bird is limitless and with no boundaries. The bird can see everything up and out there that cannot be seen by common folks much like the imagination wherein everything is possible and anything and everybody exists. The bird just like the imagination flies so high to the vast outer space seeing wonders and beauties as they travel and fly leaving those in time when the imagination needs to go back to reality and the bird to his home.

Identify the steps to Eurylochus plan for the cattle
Firdavs [7]

Answer with Explanation:

After the Trojan War, Odysseus planned to go back home. Together with him was his second-in-command, Eurylochus (a cowardly man) Upon their return, they stopped over a mythological island called "Aeaea." This was the home of an enchantress named "Circe." So, instead of greeting Circe, Eurylochos stayed away and knew her treachery. He told Odysseus that the crew were turned into pigs, so Odysseus went to rescue his men. This started a fight between Eurylochos and Odysseus after he successfully saved his men from Circe. This ended in reconciliation and Circe telling Odysseus to seek advice from Tiresias<em> (a blind prophet of Apollo). </em>

The prophet told Odysseus that they shouldn't touch the "Cattle of Helios" or the "Oxen of the Sun." However, the crew were already hungry. Thus, Eurylochus convinced them to eat the cattle while Odysseus was asleep. He told the crew how better it would be to be killed by the gods rather than by hunger and thus, they believed him. They killed the cattle and ate them. Because of this, Zeus became very angry and destroyed their ship.

Everyone was killed except Odysseus <u>(the only survivor</u>).

Alexi's speech is intended to convince his listeners that he should be elected vice president of his class. Based on the breakdo
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

- Increasing the time on spent on points I and II by 15% each and decreasing the time spent on point III by 30%.

Explanation:

Preparation of an effective speech requires arduous efforts and time. Therefore, it requires to devote the time to each point or idea to be presented depending on the knowledge and experience that the speaker possesses about that particular topic or on the basis of the level of significance of the points.

As per the question, Alexi's speech could be balanced by 'increasing the time she spends on point I and II by 15% each and by reducing the excessive time devoted to point III by 30%' as <u>the 'description of experiences and how vice presidents fail to be a part of the real change' in respect to organization and student government must be elaborated more coherently to persuade the readers</u> and therefore, requires more time. While <u>the last point is a mere suggestion or revelation of the purpose which could be managed in lesser time relatively.</u>

Now that you've spotted the problems of shift of person and shift of number, revise the paragraph by removing these inconsistenc
mezya [45]

Answer:

In the story, "The Valiant Woman" by J.J. Powers, we find that in judging people, we overlook most of the characteristics that draw us to them, but we do so without realizing it. We can draw inaccurate conclusions about a person by misjudging their facial expressions, their physical stamina, and their obvious personality traits. When people are blinded by false superiority, they judge a person incorrectly because they fail to see them as they really are.

Explanation:

The paragraph has been revised and the inconsistencies with the shift of person and shift of number have been corrected.

It has been rewritten and consistency was maintained by making use of the first person plural when referring to readers, and the third person plural nouns and pronouns when referring to those being judged.
