This question is missing the excerpt and the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Read the following story excerpt and answer the question that follows: "Come on James!" Nick called him from the street. "Let's get to the court. The guys are waiting." James looked down at his list of assignments on the computer. "Nick, I can't go today," he yelled regretfully out his window. "I am behind on my work. You are, too! You should come over and we can study together." No response from Nick. James sighed and opened his website. A short time later he heard a loud knock at the door. It was Nick. "You were right. Let's finish up and then go shoot hoops."

Which line of dialogue impacted Nick and changed direction of the story?

A. Nick called him from the street. "Let's get to the court."

B. "Nick, I can't go today," he yelled out his window.

C. "Come on James!" Nick called him from the street.

D. "You are, too! You should come over and we can study together."

Answer:

The line that impacted Nick and changed the direction of the story is:

D. "You are, too! You should come over and we can study together."

Explanation:

Notice that, at the beginning of the story, Nick is quite unconcerned about his assignments. It is only when James reminds him that he is also behind that Nick pauses. He then realizes James is right, and changes his mind about going to the court to meet the others. He chooses to study with James instead. The line James says that helps Nick change his mind and the direction of the story is: D. "You are, too! You should come over and we can study together."

Write one to three sentences explaining how the word ""swim"" adds to the idea that the turtle ""can’t see herself apart from th

Lana71 [14]

Answer and Explanation:

"The Turtle" is a poem by author Mary Oliver in which a beautiful and sacred action is described. The speaker is delighted by a turtle laying her eggs in the sand, patiently, full of a drive no one - not even the turtle herself - knows where it comes from. The speaker also draws attention to the fact that the turtle is unaware of itself as an individual. She sees herself as the world, and world as herself, all things converging to keep life going:

she is a part of the pond she lives in,

the tall trees are her children,

the birds that swim above her

are tied to her by an unbreakable string.

The word choice in this stanza is particularly interesting. The author chose to say that the birds "swim" above the turtle. That serves to enhance the sense of connectedness. There is no difference between the turtle and the birds. They all fly; they all swim; they are all a part of the world, and the world itself. Even though they may appear different, they belong together in nature, completing the gorgeous mosaic of life. "Swim" only helps convey this beautiful idea that the turtle "can't see herself apart from the rest of the world."

Which lines from The Importance of Being Earnest are epigrams? Check all that apply.

never [62]

The epigrams from the Oscar Wilde’s play “The Importance of being Earnest” are first and last statement. Epigram is a brief, satiric, memorable statement which expresses an idea in an amusing way. Oscar Wild used epigrams to expose the hypocrisy of upper class from Victorian era. In the first statement ( "In married life three is company and two is none." (Algernon)) Wilde alludes that marriage is a business deal containing property, wealth, and status. In the last statement (“More than half of modern culture depends on what one shouldn’t read.”) Wilde makes fun of the whole Victorian idea of morality, strict codes of what people should and shouldn’t do.
