Answer:

3) Miss Maudie invites the Robinson family to her house.

4) Mr. Underwood writes an editorial criticizing the verdict.

Explanation:

In the book we learn that most people in Maycomb are not sympathetic to the plight of Tom Robinson. This is particularly evident when we learn about the jury and their verdict. However, there are a few exceptions that show that not everyone in the town feels the same way. One of these instances is the fact that Miss Maudie invites the Robinson family to her house. Another example is the editorial that Mr. Underwood writes criticizing the verdict.

Which two lines in this excerpt from the poem "Consumption" by William Cullen Bryant reflect the theme of the poem? (The word co

lozanna [386]

“Consumption” by William Cullen Bryant describes the imminent death of a tuberculosis patient and her way to heaven.

The poem starts with the speaker describing the imminent death of the person to whom this poem is spoken. She is going “for the grave,” really shortly and there is nothing she can do about it. He knows that her death is close because of the light in her eyes. It is so bright he knows there’s no way it can continue for long. No one can maintain that level of brightness.

He continues on to tell her, hoping to make her see the hopelessness of her situation, and turn her to God, that there is no medicine either from the fields or minerals that can save her. She will be better off if she commits herself to God’s hands at this point.

The speaker’s tone softens when he turns to describing how she will leave for heaven. It will not be harsh, painful or in any way disturbing. God and “Death” will take her as a bud is broken from a branch by the wind.

In the final lines he asks her to “Gently” close her eyes and remember that God will see him, and all those who care about her, come together in heaven.

This is the poem:

Ay, thou art for the grave; thy glances shine

Too brightly to shine long; another Spring

Shall deck her for men’s eyes—but not for thine—

Sealed in a sleep which knows no wakening.

The fields for thee have no medicinal leaf,

And the vexed ore no mineral of power;

And they who love thee wait in anxious grief

Till the slow plague shall bring the final hour.

Glide softly to thy rest then; Death should come

Gently, to one of gentle mould like thee,

As light winds wandering through groves of bloom

Detach the delicate blossom from the tree.

Close thy sweet eyes, calmly, and without pain;

And we will trust in God to see thee yet again.

The theme of the Poem is the inevitability of being consumed by Death, and the lines that best reflect that theme are:

Glide softly to thy rest then; Death should come 

Gently, to one of gentle mould like thee,

1. What do paragraphs 65-72 reveal about the kids'

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The correct answer is The kids realize that the rain is less enjoyable than the sun.

Explanation:

It seems that the kids haven't seen the Sun in a very long time, years even. They are living underground on Venus and they have been for years. So in this moment, they finally see the Sun and all run outside to play and have fun and soak in the warmth after such a long time.

However, their happiness doesn't last long as it starts pouring rain and they have to go back to the underground house, understanding they will have to wait another seven years for the Sun to appear again.

Here is the entire excerpt:

A few cold drops fell on their noses and their cheeks and their mouths. The sun faded behind a stir of mist. A wind blew cool around them. They turned and started to walk back toward the underground house, their hands at their sides, their smiles vanishing away.

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Explanation: It would change the way the captain handled confrontation". Could be the answer. The meaning of the excerpt would change if the word consultation was replaced with the word meeting in the way that It would change the way the captain handled confrontation.

First of all, it is important to state the difference between consultation and meeting as simple words, Consultation differs from meeting in the sense that it is a more formal and argumentative way of facing a situation then if this word that has a strong meaning for meeting that is more friendly, the message would imply that the way the people act will be different.
