The correct answer is A. The speaker conveys a sense of disgust by using sensory details to portray a grimy city scene.

Explanation:

The excerpt from "Preludes" focuses on describing a dirty and depressing city scene. This is mainly expressed through details that appeal to the senses, such as "now a gusty shower wraps" or "And newspapers from vacant lots" because these appeal to the reader's sight and show the pollution of the city. This means, in this poem the author uses sensory details to show how grimy the city is. Moreover, the tone or attitude of the speaker is disgust because the author shows this dirtiness is negative through details such as "the grimy scraps". According to this, the correct answer is A.

D) According to Scholastic Book Records 2011, soccer player Lionel Messi makes over $39 million dollars annually. This impressive salary is from his work as a striker for La Liga's Barcelona team (page 99). 
This is correct because it leaves your point of view out, it has correct grammar, and it gives you the source.

Which best describes another comparison that Melville could have used to symbolize the rigid and unalterable character of Ahab i
kipiarov [429]

The character portrayal of Ahab is scripted as a very reserved person. Especially,  after leaving Nantucket, he is not seen much by his crew on the deck.

From the description in the question, the alternate word that can express the firm and unchanging traits of the protagonist in Chapter 28, in my opinion , must be a static object. It must embody no life or movement in its definition. This kind of similarity would supplement the personality of Ahab. And here, 'a stone monument' can symbolize lifeless-rigidity in behavior which will totally complement Ahab.

Therefore, I think option-"C" is correct.

Generalizations, Conclusions, and Inferences (Part 1) Determine if each statement is a reasonable generalization that can be mad
mezya [45]

Inference is a logical conclusion based on the information provided, while generalization takes that conclusion and applies it to other similar situations. Based on those definitions, we can determine if each of the statements is a rasonable generalization or not.

"The sibling rivalry is due to the arrival of a newborn baby in the house" is neither an inference nor a generalization. There is no indication in the text of a new baby.

"The speaker is from a large family" cannot be inferred either, as the narrator only mentions one sibling.

"The speaker loves the brother" is a fair inference based on the text.  The narrator mentions that her brother means the world to her, so this statement is a logical conclusion.

"The brother gets into trouble often"  is not a reasonable inference nor generalizatino. The only information provided is that he insists on reading his sister's diary.

"The speaker believes others feel the same way as the speaker about their diaries" <em>is the only </em><em>reasonable generalization</em>. The narrator assumes that by telling her brother her diary is boring, he won't want to read it. That he is only interested in knowing her secrets. Therefore, she thinks others view diaries the same way she does.
