I believe the answer is B. Why I chose B? I chose B because connotation is an implied meaning that is associated with a word in addition to its literal meaning. This association can be cultural or emotional.

Bananas = connotation in B

Another connotation
In my eyes, she is like a dove floating on the thermal cloud. 
Dove does mean a bird here but an angel

How does Greta Thunberg and Sylvia Stults explore climate change?
Elena L [17]

Answer and Explanation:

Sylvia Stults explored climate change through poetry and literature. She was able to write a very influential poem, where she was able to point out in an incisive way the negative impacts of environmental pollution, where climate changes were associated. Sylvia Stults, in her poem, shows how nature has been negatively modified over the years, causing degradation, dishonest and excessive exploitation and contamination of what is essential for our life, nature.

Greta Thunberg, on the other hand, approaches environmental changes in a more political way, drawing the attention of directives of great leaders and political organizations so that they can fix the environmental problems they have created, thus guaranteeing a future for children who are not responsible for pollution, degradation and climatic changes that are being submitted.

Read the following excerpt from "Notes of a Native Son" by James Baldwin:
Reil [10]

Answer:

C. The author refers to the evil of Sodom and Gomorrah to suggest a  comparison to the contemporary city of New Orleans.

Explanation:

An allusion is a figure that is used to describe something without directly referring to it and explicitly saying what it is, but by using some different ideas, usually knowledgable to a wider audience.

That is why the author here refers to what he imagines in New Orleans as Sodom and Gomorrah. <u>He refers to the well known Biblical story about the cities where many vile people lived who did harm and sins, so God destroyed them at the end as a punishment for their outrageous behavior.</u>

<u>By alluding to these Biblical places and stories, the author is trying to say us all the worst possible happenings were present to see in New Orleans, and still are, as he is still "to this day" making that mental connection. </u>

Write a paragraph comparing the theme of Ozymandias with Ecclesiastes 2:4-11:
marin [14]

The theme of Ozymandias and  Eccelesutes 2:4-11  revolves around the fact that one would be humble and not arrogant about one's achievements and success.

Explanation:

  • Perce Bysshe Shelley in his poem Ozymandias makes it very clear that with time, even the most powerful things undergo decadence. The center of his explanation is the haughty statue of king Ozymandias who was mighty king of his time and who was known for his haughtiness. With the turn of events and after several decades post his rule, his haughty statue lies destroyed and destructed which was the symbol of the end of his vehemence and arrogance.
  • In Eccelesutes 2:4-11 as well the same theme has been discussed and mentioned. The verse in Ecclesiastes 2:4-11 talks about the idea that people should not be boastful and bragging or overly proud of their worldly or mundane achievements because of these are material achievements which is not there forever  
  • P.B Shelley in Ozymandias starts by referring to the haughtiness of the king in the lines, " My name is Ozymandias, king of kings, my right there is none to dispute." These lines which are a clear testimony of the arrogance of the king and his self -proclaimed undisputable nature, however, at the end, his authority was shortlived.  Eccelesutes 2:4-11 talks about the same theme.

B. Pyramus arrives at the meeting place before Thisbe returns.

C. Thisbe arrives at the meeting place ahead of Pyramus.

Explanation:

The two lovers agree to meet at the mulberry tree but Thisbe arrives before Pyramus and sees a lioness with a bloodied jaw from a recent kill, she assumes the lioness has killed Pyramus, she screams and runs away from the scene.

Shortly after, Pyramus arrives at the meeting place before Thisbe returns and sees the same lioness with bloodied jaw and assumes Thisbe has been devoured by it. In his grief, he kills himself, but before he dies he sees Thisby and discovers she's still alive. Thisby also kills herself.
