English

5 0

Answer and Explanation:

<u>Meeting at ten in the morning meant the villagers would have enough time to be done with the lottery and be home by noon for lunch. While other bigger towns had to begin the lottery one day earlier, this village only had 300 inhabitants, which made it all faster for them.</u>

"The Lottery" is a short story by author Shirley Jackson in which the power of ritual and tradition is discussed as theme. The inhabitants of a village take part in a lottery every single year, on the 27th of June. The person who name is ultimately drawn in the lottery has to be killed by the others.

Which sentence in this excerpt from Elizabeth Cady Stanton's speech "Solitude of Self" conveys that it is important for women to
Sonbull [250]

Answer: The education that will fit her to discharge the duties in the largest sphere of human usefulness will best fit her for whatever special work she may be compelled to do.

In this excerpt, Elizabeth Cady Stanton complains of the fact that women's education is determined by her relationships to other people as mothers, sisters, daughters and wives. This is true even when women do not fulfill these roles (for example, unmarried or childless women). This is different from the education of men, which is pursued by considering him an individual in his own right. She argues that, whatever work women decided to perform, their being educated would allow them to perform them in a much better way than if they were ignorant.

You have decided to conduct an interview-based study on your campus that examines sexual assault with the hope of offering recom
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Your results will be speaking beyond your data

Explanation:

Your aim is to conduct a study that will examine sexual assault and proffer recommendations that will be used by administration to change the policy. This policy change will affect the whole campus and not just some members of campus fraternities. Hence if your idea was to examine sexual assault among campus fraternities, then this result would be ideal, but if you are going to use data for a small sub-section of a population to generalize for all other sub-population, then your result would be speaking beyond your data; meaning your data will be insufficient to come up with a result capable of leading to a policy change.

In about two hundred words, show what you understand about the literary devices used in the plot development of Things Fall Apar
Alexandra [31]

There are many literary devices used in the plot development of <em>Things Fall Apart</em>; let's remember that we call a <em>literary device</em> all those tools an author use to convey his/her ideas and points in a story.

One of the tools used by Achebe in this text is irony. One example of this is Okonkwo's suicide at the end. After saying he could survive everything, you don't expect him to do it.

Another literary device the author uses is foreshadowing. This happens when an event or action hits at a future event or action. This is used, for example, when Okonkwo falls into depression after being exiled to his motherland for killing a clansman and, at the end he commites suicide. This depression meant more for him that any other event and changed his destiny.

Symbolism is other used tool in this story when referred to a man's ability to grow yams. It is directly tied to his manhood and how others see him as a man. In this particular case, the yam is the major symbol of masculinity.
