Answer:

not the prompt but here you go

Explanation:

It all started with a magnifying glass. Daryl's uncle had given it to him for his birthday. It didn't seem like much of a gift at the time, but then all sorts of things happened. Read this story to find out what kind of an adventure Daryl had!

A Summer's Day

It was a nice summer day and Daryl decided to go for a walk. 'Why don't you take that magnifying glass with you,' said his uncle, 'see what kind of an adventure you can find.' Daryl didn't think there was much adventure in a magnifying glass, but he stuck it in his pocket anyway along with some peanut butter crackers.

He walked to his favorite tree and sat down in the warm sand to eat his crackers. As he ate, some crumbs fell to the ground. He took out the magnifying glass when he noticed an ant had already found his cracker crumbs. 'Hey,' he thought, 'I'll check this out.'

The Adventure Begins

Under the magnifying glass, the ant looked pretty formidable. That means it looked large and scary! As he followed the ant, he saw it fall into a small pit. The ant tried and tried to crawl out of the pit, but the sand kept giving way and he'd fall back down. Daryl was just about to give up on the ant when, all of a sudden, out of the bottom of the pit jumped an antlion and grabbed the ant! Wow, was that something to watch up-close! The antlion was even more formidable than the ant!

Antlion

As he continued to gaze through the glass, he noticed a little trail of tracks. They almost looked like tractor tracks, but he knew that wasn't possible. He decided to follow them and see where they went. The tracks led him right to a tree where he found a caterpillar happily munching on a leaf. Wow, did the caterpillar look cool under the magnifying glass! It had colors and spots and hairs and lots of funny little feet. It was rather peculiar, meaning strange and different.

A Little Danger

He continued to watch the caterpillar when he was interrupted by a buzzing sound. There hovering over the caterpillar was a wasp. Though is startled him, he was rather intrigued, or very interested, with this tiny adventure he was on. The wasp was the most formidable of all!

Carefully watching the wasp, he saw it was laying small white eggs right on top of the caterpillar, who didn't seem to notice anything going on at all! What a crazy world down here in small land! The wasp suddenly flew up and away. As he watched, he saw it get tangled in a spider web. 'This is awesome,' he thought, 'I have to climb up and take a better look at that spider.'

Which of the following sentences is written correctly? A.The team played good in their championship game so they won B. The drum
aleksandrvk [35]

The following sentence is written correctly:

B. The drum major performed badly because she forgot the routine.

<u>Why not A, C or D?</u>

A. The team played <u>good</u> in their championship game so they won. The word<em> good</em> should be replaced with the word<em> well</em>. An adverb describes a verb, the word well would describe how they played. Good is an adjective that describes a noun.

C. Ivan feels<u> well</u> about his choice to join the after-school program. The word <em>well</em> should be replaced with the word <em>good.</em> Whenever, one says someone is feeling well it refers to their health.

D. The gymnast felt<u> badly</u> because they had skipped breakfast. The word <em>badlly</em> should be replaced with the word <em>bad</em>.

Read the passage.
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

The most likely meaning of metaphor in this sentence is that Amit's thoughts are confused and contradictory.

A Metaphor is the use of two contradictory words or ideas for the sake or purpose of emphasis. Examples are; all the world is a stage, John is a lion in the fields, Mary is a Chameleon, etc.

From the passage,  the "river and the waves crashing" is metaphorical as it depicts Amit's feeling of confusion and disorder. Amit's wished Tamar never told him his secret as his thoughts are now in a state of clash and worry.

Several times the poet puts together contrasting words ("merciful and sneering men" and "kindly and unfairly tried"). These word
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

These word choices highlight the tone of irony.

Explanation:

The question above is about the poem "War is Kind" written by Stephen Crane. The entire poem has a strong tone of verbal irony, which can first be found in the poem speaker's statements about why women should not cry because the men they love were killed in war, because war is a good and benevolent thing. This characteristic of war contains strong irony, since nothing good and benevolent would kill anyone.

Verbal irony is reinforced by the use of contradictory ideas like those found in the question above, where the author mixes the characteristics that war promoters impose on themselves and the real characteristics among them.

Pick two parallel characters from these chapters and, in at least 250 words, describe how comparing them reveals something signi
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

In Umuofia, the Christians are led by a kindly white man named Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown restrains the zeal of some of the fanatical converts. A convert named Enoch is particularly violent, always stirring up trouble; Brown strives to moderate Enoch's excesses. Mr. Brown is a wise and patient man; he befriends many of the local great men, and earns their affection. He spends a good deal of time with Akunna; they speak through an interpreter on the subject of religion. Neither man converts the other, but Mr. Brown learns much about the local religion and concludes that missionary work should be subtle and indirect: direct confrontation will not work. He also tries hard to get people to send their children to the Christian school. At first, people only send their lazy children. But more and more people begin to go as they realize that the ability to read and write opens up great social mobility. The DC is surrounded by Africans from Umaru; these literate subordinates earn high wages and how power in Umuofia. Mr. Brown's school begins to produce results.
