Jake's allusion to the Greek myth of the River Styx affects the meaning of this passage because <em>A. It emphasizes the grim possibility that the characters may face death.</em>

In Greek mythology, the River Styx forms the boundary between Earth and the underworld that is called Hades (Hell). As Catherine and Jake are coming near the entrance to Shadowland Tunnel. They are afraid and Jake makes an allusion to the Greek river. This is emphasizing the grim possibility that the characters may face death.

A. It emphasizes the grim possibility that the characters may face death.

In the passage we also have other hints that this venture into the tunnel could result in their death. Catherine says that no one has ever returned from going in. Also, the narrator uses the words "pitch-black cavity". "its moans sounding like warnings," and "we're souls who've just died." The allusion to the River Styx is just one more reminder that this tunnel could be fatal.

Either you or Miguel ______ leading the group.<br> A: are<br> B: is
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Either you or Miguel is leading the group.

Explanation:

When using compound conjunctions - either... or and neither... nor - we tend to feel like using a plural verb, which may be incorrect. Most of the time, the right way to conjugate a verb in sentences with compound conjunctions is in the singular.

<u>Something else that can be confusing in the sentence we are analyzing here is the fact that "either" is followed by "you". As we know, the right verb form for "you" is "are". However, even in this case, we should go with the form "is" because "Miguel" is the closest noun to the verb. Therefore, the correct answer is</u>:

Either you or Miguel is leading the group.

Describe how the Mary Rowland's experience during her captivity is a metaphor for a devout Puritan society. (250-300 words)
Yuri [45]
<span>During the time spent disclosing to her story, Rowlandson uncovers much about Puritan culture and states of mind towards ladies and Native Americans; comparably, she gives data about Native American culture, however regularly without acknowledging or even obviously understanding it. Rowlandson's personal record of her internment set up the model for ensuing imprisonment accounts, and her accentuation on her part as mother laid the foundation for later ladies' written work, including some African American slave stories.</span>
