Answer:
A. It shows that Cassius thinks that Brutus is too optimistic.
Explanation:
Shakespeare's use of triumph instead of victory in the excerpt in the passage affects its meaning because it shows that Cassius thinks Brutus is too optimistic, that is, Brutus expect they would win the war.
Cassius is trying to ask Brutus if he could face the humiliation of losing the battle and be led through the street of Time as trophy.
This means that there are two consequences of fighting a war, either to lose or to win.
Loosing means to be paraded as trophy and winning means to parade the losers as trophy.
D. Cheryl is actually upset about the situation.
Answer:
The trait that helps illustrate a contrast between Eumaeus and Melanthios is Xenia.
Explanation:
The trait Xenia means hospitality. In The Odyssey, Eumaeus and Melanthios both face a situation with Odysseus where they both reacted in very opposite ways. First Eaumaeus gives shelter and offers help to Odysseus without knowing who he was, whiles Melanthios does the opposite by taking advantage of Odysseus when he believed he was a vagabond.
The tone of the story "Talk" by Harold Courlander and George Herzog is humorous. The story revolves around a farmer being first frightened by the talking yam whom he wants to dig, followed by the dog who told him to listen to the yam, then the palm tree who warned him not to cut its branch. The farmer ran off meeting a fisherman who also ran off hearing the fish trap talk. They come across a weaver whose bundle of cloth talked and then ran with them together. The story is really funny because of the talking characters in the story including the stool in the chief's house.
Answer:
Dear sir or madam,
First of all, I would like to thank you for the admission to this prestigious school. The reason for this letter is that I do not find the program suitable for me.
The program the school offered me is in English and Literature, it is a complete program and suitable for students who want to pursue a career in English, but my interests are in Computer and Science. A program in English would not help me to grow in this field.
Another reason why I do not find the program suitable is that it is centered in American literature and does not include English literature or other languages, which can be beneficial to have different points of view and develop better critical thinking skills.
Due to the mentioned reasons, I would like for my program to be changed to one that fits my interests and challenges me to develop my skills. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Susan Johnson.
Explanation:
When we write to the headteacher or a teacher in the school, we should use formal language.
First, we have to address the person by writing dear and their name. As we do not know the name, we use sir or madam or headmaster. Then, we make an introduction where we talk about why we are writing. In the following paragraphs, we describe in detail why we want the headteacher to change our program. Lastly, we politely ask for the program to be changed and say our goodbyes.
