Read the excerpt from chapter 6 of Animal Farm. "You have heard then, comrades," he said, "that we pigs now sleep in the beds of

the farmhouse? And why not? You did not suppose, surely, that there was ever a ruling against beds? A bed merely means a place to sleep in. A pile of straw in a stall is a bed, properly regarded. The rule was against sheets, which are a human invention. We have removed the sheets from the farmhouse beds, and sleep between blankets. And very comfortable beds they are too! But not more comfortable than we need, I can tell you, comrades, with all the brainwork we have to do nowadays. You would not rob us of our repose, would you, comrades? You would not have us too tired to carry out our duties? Surely none of you wishes to see Jones back?" Which theme is best supported by the verbal irony in this passage? Power creates divisions within society. Naïve citizens enable corrupt governments. Temptation can lead those in power to corruption. Corrupt leaders use propaganda to remain in power.

Answer:

Corrupt leaders use propaganda to remain in power.

Explanation:

George Orwell's "Animal Farm" is an allegorical take on the Soviet nation under Stalin. This novella shows how a group of animals revolted against their human masters and made leaders among themselves only to disintegrate into further chaos.

The given passage from chapter 6 of the text reveals how Squealer tries to persuade the other animals on the farm to denounce sheets, for they represent humans but not the bed itself. And in this proposal, he shows how different propaganda was used or employed, twisted, and emphasized by leaders according to their own advantage.<u> Just like Squealer's notion of having a bed isn't bad but refused to use the sheets, so also corrupt leaders use propagandas as and however they can manipulate to ensure they remain longer in power. </u>

What two traits does Charles Dickens point out about British society during the Industrial Revolution in this excerpt from Olive
vazorg [7]

The above excerpt from Charles Dickens’ novel “Oliver Twist” point out the following two traits of British society during the industrial revolution.

1.a lack of regard for life among the working class

3. the employment of children for hazardous tasks

Dickens novels reflect the ills of Victorian society which emerged as the byproduct of the Industrial Revolution. The drawbacks of the modern society and Industrialization were great in number. The society got divided based on class and status. The rich became richer and the poor became poorer. Child labor was encouraged especially in the factories to overcome poverty. People became self-centered and uncaring. Urbanization gave birth to an increase in the slum in the cities. Individualism increased which favored self-increment and not on the betterment of the society. Children were not allowed to imagine and live in the world of fancy. They were taught to live with logic and reason. This period saw the downfall of humanity in the history of mankind.

Write the words in brackets in the appropriate forms of the future tense.
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

A Wonderful Plan Allison and Nate

A brother and sister, live together in an apartment. They attend university in the same city, so they live together to share expenses. Their parents live in a different city, but they are visiting their children this weekend. In fact, they will arrive at the airport in about an hour!

Nate and his older sister talk about all the arrangements they made for their parents’ visit. “Okay, so we should go to the concert tonight, right?” Nate asks. “That is right,” Allison replies. “We are seeing the orchestra at 7:00pm.” “Are we going to the museum tomorrow, then?” her brother asks. “Yes, I reserved tickets for the special exhibition on mummies,” Allison says. “Are you coming with us or are you meeting with your study group?” “No, I am definitely going with you to the museum,” Nate answers. “I love mummies! All right, so we are picking Mom and Dad up in about an hour.” “Yes, I will leave in five minutes,” Allison says. Nate is confused. “What do you mean? We are both going, right?” “Of course not!” Allison laughs. “Look at this place! I was very busy making all the reservations and getting all the tickets. We did not clean at all!” “Oh no, you are right!” Nate looks at the messy living room and remembers all the dirty dishes in the kitchen. “What will we do?” “Do not worry, my dear brother,” Allison says, smiling. “You know I always have a plan.” “Is a cleaning service coming?” Nate asks. “Are Mom and Dad staying in a hotel?” “No, silly!” Allison replies. “No one will come to help us clean.” “Then what is your wonderful plan? What are we doing to get the apartment clean? Mom and Dad are arriving in just forty-five minutes!”

Now Nate will get really nervous. “Not to worry,” Allison reassures her brother. “I am driving to the airport to pick them up, and then we are all going to a new art gallery that just opened. We are taking a guided tour for an hour.” “How does an art gallery tour get the house clean?” Nate wonders. “That does not clean the house! Remember that you will stay here, little brother,” Allison says, giving him a hug before she walks to the door. “This way you will have lots of time! I will go out to have fun with Mom and Dad because I am a wonderful daughter, and you will stay here to clean the whole apartment because you are a wonderful son!”

Explanation:

Read the following excerpt from the "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T. S. Eliot:
mars1129 [50]

Even though option D is also related to Modernism and could be related to the excerpt, option C seems to be the correct one: It conveys the idea of isolation from modern life.

Modernist were called "the lost generation" because of their search for meaning among the fragments of modern life. In the excerpt, the words "lonely men" seem to address the theme of isolation and alienation in society. While everyone seems to have a role to perform in modern life, that does not mean they have found their true identity. Some sort of value seems to have been lost and, with it, men lost themselves. Modernism is characterized by the search of such value.

In the context of the text, how does love emerge? How is love portrayed as developing in the poem? Is it easy? What does it take
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

It depends on what kind. sibling love is when 2 or more siblings have a strong bond with each other. It really is the same with parents. Romance love, now that's hard I guess it emerges when people go out with each other. Best friends can become a boyfriend or girlfriend relationship. The only way to succeed in love is when you actually love the person you love because of her characteristics, not her looks or fame. People may be mean at first but it's most likely something happened to them. Then there's lust. Lust is when 2 people want each other but don't love each other.True love is only when you and your love been thru a lot with each other and are still together.
