Purple host could be ambiguous, or not clear, because of the figure of speech and the double meanings. Purple host could be taken literally as a host with a skin pallor of purple. But it could also mean that the host is feeling proud, hence they use the color purple as symbolism. Also, it could mean one way or another. Hence, the answer is letter C.

Karishma is reading "The Tell-Tale Heart." She reads an excerpt, looks for clues, and makes a prediction about what happens next
11111nata11111 [884]

The correct answer is C. The old man becomes aware of a frightening presence in the room.

Explanation:

Making predictions about a text involves analyzing the details provided and with these trying to guess the next action or event in a story. Moreover, predictions should be adjusted according to new details. In this context, Karishma will need to include the new information "the old man sprang up in bed, crying out—"Who's there?" in her prediction. Therefore the best new prediction is "The old man becomes aware of a frightening presence in the room" because the noise makes the old man react and realize there is a strange presence in the room.

The balance includes both the fees for service and the shipping charges. Is this sentence incomplete or complete?
Fed [463]

The answer is: complete sentence.

 This is an independent sentence, which means it is a group of words that that has a complete thought. It has a subject and a verb and it can stand on its own. <em>Subject</em>: The balance. <em>Verb</em>: includes. <em>Complement:</em> both the fees for service and the shipping charges. A phrase that has a subject and a verb but doesn't have a complete thought is a <em>dependent clause, and it can't stand on its own.</em>

Read the lines from Scene XIII of Doctor Faustus and answer the question.
NISA [10]

Answer:

Option 2 is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The Tragical History of Life and Dead of Dr. Faustus was composed by Christopher Marlow. As said in the question, the excerpt belongs to scene XIII, which is also the last one. Even though the speaker mentions all the other options (which could make all the answers correct), the line that follows the given excerpt continues by saying "...which I saw of slate,/Whose sweet embraces may extinguish clean...", making this option the correct one.
