The correct answer to this open question is the following.

First, we are talking about the story "Everyday Use," written by African American writer Alice Walker in 1973. This story is included in the collection called "In Love and Trouble."

The characterization of the speaker could be the following. She is a strong character uneducated woman that works hard to maintain the family. She tells the story from her perspective, so she is not objective. The name of the character is simply "Mama."

Where does she refrain from making judgments? For instance, when her daughter asks her if she looks good. Mama evades the question asked by her daughter but later she -as the narrator- describes the way her daughter looks.

Where does she present less than the full truth? For example, when she refers to Wangero, the other daughter. She hides some truths and then later, she expresses what she really thinks about her daughter and how she does not agree with her decisions.

Do these examples of reticence undercut her reliability? No, she simply tells the story from her particular point of view.

After reading the assigned text, what did you learn are some of the most important ideas in stories from Iceland? Are Icelandic
koban [17]

Answer:

I am not familiar with many Icelandic folk tales, so obviously these are unfamiliar to me. When I researched some Icelandic folk tales, I realized that most of them have either trolls or elves in them. This is very interesting, and I wanted to know more about why this was, so I looked it up. It seems that there are so many trolls and elves in the folk tales because they are deeply rooted in the culture of Iceland. Maybe some folk stories from around here have elves or trolls in them, but certainly not as much as the Icelandic ones. I also wonder I there are some Icelandic folk stories that do not have these common themes in them, Though there probably are. Because we can see a pattern in Icelandic folk tales, I wonder if there is a noticeable pattern in folk stories from around here, but I'll research that later.

Explanation:

Words: 154

Hope this helps!

ololo11 [35]
A. The speaker is saying that she and her peers should be allowed to handle the punishments for people like Hester Prynne. She thinks this because they would band together as a group and be all on the same page in their punishment, rather than leaving it up to the magistrate--whose punishment she does not think adequately fit the crime Hester committed.

Read the sentence.
Papessa [141]

Answer:

The correct answer is "two-thirds".

Explanation:

In English, we use "hyphen" (punctuation mark) to join two or more words. These should not be confused with "dashes", who are a longer punctuation mark and have other uses like separate explanatory phrases.

Hyphens are used to join words or terms to avoid confusions and they are written with no space between them and the words. In some cases, they are used to preserve the text's clarity: when adding a prefix (great-grandmother) or when the final and initial letters coincide (co-operate).

In this specific case, "two-thirds" is a fraction, so the hyphens are used to let know the relation between these two words instead of reading them as separated numbers.
