7 0

After a thorough research, there exists a question that has the following choices.

A) All order, I've come to understand, is theoretical, unreal -- a harmless, sensible, smiling mask men slide between the two great, dark realities.
B) I seize up a sleeping man, tear at him hungrily, bite through his bone-locks and suck hot, slippery blood.
C) Fate often enough will spare a man if his courage holds. (162)
D) As if casually, in plain sight of them all, I bit his head off, crunched through the helmet and skull with my teeth and, blood-slippery body in two hands. (79)

The correct answer is letter A) All order, I've come to understand, is theoretical, unreal -- a harmless, sensible, smiling mask men slide between the two great, dark realities.

I have found the choices to your question from another source and I will place them here:

A) All order, I've come to understand, is theoretical, unreal -- a harmless, sensible, smiling mask men slide between the two great, dark realities. B) I seize up a sleeping man, tear at him hungrily, bite through his bone-locks and suck hot, slippery blood.C) Fate often enough will spare a man if his courage holds. (162)D) As if casually, in plain sight of them all, I bit his head off, crunched through the helmet and skull with my teeth and, blood-slippery body in two hands. (79)

Among these choices, the passage that would suggest that "life is meaningless" would be option A. That passage suggests that every order is not real, that people just unknowingly go over between the "two dark realities".

It supports that life is meaningless by telling us that the order we try so much to achieve and maintain is nothing but a theoretical concept - an imagination.

What type of data does Mayor Kendrick use to make her speech more persuasive?

KATRIN_1 [288]

Excerpt: Good morning teachers, students, and distinguished alumni—thank you all for joining me on this momentous occasion. I’m Mayor Kenndrick, and I’m thrilled to announce the launch of Wessex County’s first community garden here at South Falls High School. This magnificent project is funded by a grant from Green Planet Organics as part of their Gardens Grow Great Communities program. We’re so appreciative of their commitment to this amazing program. You might be wondering why we’re planting a garden at a high school. Unfortunately, recent statistics show that most high school students spend too much time indoors. We’re all guilty of wasting time in front of the computer or television when we could be outside getting fresh air and exercise. Most of you probably think that exercise involves running laps or spending hours inside a gym. In reality, exercising can be something as simple as planting seeds or pulling out weeds. Anything that gets your blood flowing is good for you and your body. Gardening has many therapeutic benefits. This program affords students the opportunity to commune with nature as part of a new curriculum that combines environmental science and physical education. Spending time in a garden also forges a connection between you and your natural habitat, enhancing your appreciation for the environment. This community garden will also facilitate social interaction between students and community members as they work toward a common goal.

Answer:The Mayor lists several of the positive benefits that result from working in a community garden

lara [203]

A. Recall a familiar text.

An allusion is a reference to another published work. In this case, the allusion is to the Pledge of Allegiance. Instead of the just saying the name of the text, the author alludes to it by quoting the first line. For readers who know the Pledge of Allegiance this may spark in them a sense of patriotism as they may then recite the entire pledge. The reader uses this allusion to further the point about patriotism as a routine taught in schools.

Which scenario is an example of a theme for a story

Olenka [21]

Answer:

Good always triumphs over evil in the end

Explanation:

According to the Dictionary of Literary Terms and Literary Theory, “the theme of a work is not its subject but rather its central idea, which may be stated directly or indirectly. For example, the theme of Othello is jealousy.”

There could be one or more themes in a story. To understand the idea, one could ask, what is the story trying to talk about, or what is/are the underlying message/s or concept/s or idea/s that is/are being put forward or portrayed through various characters and instances?

In light of this, let us examine each statement carefully.

Dorothy is a dreamer who wants to see other places

This statement essentially talks about the character, Dorothy, and not the idea of the story.

Bilbo goes on a journey and becomes a hero

This statement talks about what happens with one of the characters of the text, or the story of the character, which is also not the theme, as it is hard to say what the central idea of the story could be.

The story takes place in a dark, dense forest

This is clearly the setting of the story, describing the location where the story unfolds.

Good always triumphs over evil in the end

This statement could be the central idea of a story, or its underlying message, and can be portrayed in numerous ways. Hence, this could be an example of a theme for a story.

Note: However, it is important to note that the moral of the story isn’t necessarily its theme. The theme could very be any other idea regardless of whether that is also the moral of the story.
