Answer:

b) The speaker and the reader wait again to find out what is making the noise.

Explanation:

The poem "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe is a dramatic monologue of the speaker who was interrupted at night by a knocking sound. Told from a scholarly young man's perspective, the poem addresses his change in mood as the poem progresses.

The given excerpt in the question is from the sixth stanza of the poem when the knocking came for the second time. But when he opens the door, it was nothing, no one at the door. The stanza contributes to the suspense of the poem for both the speaker and the readers aren't sure of who is behind the knocking. And both have to wait to find out the source of the noise.

Read the rough-draft paragraph.
aivan3 [116]

The statement which best describes the mistake the writer makes in the paragraph is the following one:

The writer loses focus and shifts to another topic.

He starts off by pointing out the overall benefits of exercising, and supports his idea by also giving examples of activities people should engage in. However, focus is lost when the writer begins to address the importance of a balanced diet to the body. That would require a new paragraph.

In at least two hundred words, explain how the ending of the story is an example of situational irony.
miskamm [114]

The facts that are told at the end of the story are in sharp contrast to those that unleash the tragedy that Desiree and her son have to live. Only in the last few lines we discover that her husband knows the true cause of the dark color of the child's skin, which derives from the color of his own mother and has nothing to do with the unknown facts that cover the real origin of Desiree, since his filiation was not known from the beggining.

The irony is graphed in the fact that Desiree's husband could not have ignored that his mother was a dark-skinned woman, as he lived with her for the first eight years of his life and in addition to that, in the end, we also got to know that he was in possession of that letter that informed him the truth, in the probably event that he had forgotten it over the years.

The mistreatment he gave to his slaves was then the most important contradiction, although we can observe that his character softens after the birth of his son, even so having to see him daily was probably a permanent reminder of a shame he was trying to leave behind.

Read the excerpt from Fast Food Nation.
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

taking advantage of people to save money

Explanation:

"Fast Food Nation" is a book by Eric Schlosser that gives an insight on the way fast food industry in USA works, from the life of farmers, functioning of the farms to the business mechanisms and food processing.

This particular excerpt deals with employees in the fast food industry, or, more precise, the reason why the teenagers and the young adults make up the majority of workers in the industry. Inexperienced workers will work with lower wages and will be easier to control, which means that the industry is taking advantage of their lack of work experience and exploiting the workers in order to save some money, increasing the profit in that way.
