I think the point of the relation of the quote to Atwood's poem is that what we see (or presume) and what we experience can be two totally different things. The poem talks about the striking differences between Canada as tourists see it and Canada as the speaker sees it through her own experience. For the tourists, <span>Saskatchewan is just another lake with "convenient" places to pose and take photos. For her, it is a very personal place of memories and meanings. In relation to the quote, we need to really meet our neighbors, instead of just believing the superficial images. We can really meet them through literature. By doing that, we will meet ourselves too, and realize the deep connection that binds us to other, different people and cultures.</span>

Based on the context of each excerpt from F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Winter Dreams," choose the definition that most closely matches
brilliants [131]

Emphasize - Accentuated: As she took her stance for a short mashie shot, Dexter looked at her closely. She wore a blue gingham dress, rimmed at throat and shoulders with a white edging that accentuated her tan.

In this passage it is saying that the white edging of the dress made the darkness of her skin stand out. Emphasize means the same as stand out of accentuate.

Childish sulkiness or bad-temper - petulance: During dinner she slipped into a moody depression which gave Dexter a feeling of uneasiness. Whatever petulance she uttered in her throaty voice worried him.

She is described as being in a moody depression. This best fits with the definition of sulkiness or bad-temper.

Practical, Ordinary - mundane: "You're not. I like you. But I've just had a terrible afternoon. There was a man I cared about, and this afternoon he told me out of a clear sky that he was poor as a church-mouse. He'd never even hinted it before. Does this sound horribly mundane?"

Another word for mundane is ordinary. Mundane is used to give ordinary a more boring connotation.

Rashid [163]
<span>The sequence of the feudal hierarchy that starts from the uppermost tier are the king / monarch,knights/vassals,barons/nobles, and villagers/peasants/serfs. The king would rule the whole kingdom, the barons or nobles would lease the lands from the king. The barons were the second most wealthiest in the kingdom.

The villeins/serfs were given land by the knights in return for growing crops and supplying food to the and services, such as cleaning and working, to their superiors. They were the poorest in the land. So, from the answer choices given, the correct answer is B, king, lord, clergy, knight, and serf.</span><span />

Jackie is writing a speech that claims that students should sell fruit instead of candy for the school fundraiser. In her speech
nikdorinn [45]

She could argue that you don't need to sell the same thing every year and therefore, we could all try something different this year, not just candy.

She also could argue that candies are not healthy and it's time to distance ourselves from them for now.

The best argument that she could pull off would be, if that was really the case, if fruits were easier and more profitable to sell. By far, if that was the argument, they would all sell fruit easily.
