<span>This refers to the book "The Scarlet Letter." The scaffold is where Hester gets shamed for her adultery. I don't have the text with me to give details that support my contention; however, I would think that devoting a lot of time describing scaffold creates tension in that it makes scene more realistic and eerie.</span>

Answer:

A Wonderful Plan Allison and Nate

A brother and sister, live together in an apartment. They attend university in the same city, so they live together to share expenses. Their parents live in a different city, but they are visiting their children this weekend. In fact, they will arrive at the airport in about an hour!

Nate and his older sister talk about all the arrangements they made for their parents’ visit. “Okay, so we should go to the concert tonight, right?” Nate asks. “That is right,” Allison replies. “We are seeing the orchestra at 7:00pm.” “Are we going to the museum tomorrow, then?” her brother asks. “Yes, I reserved tickets for the special exhibition on mummies,” Allison says. “Are you coming with us or are you meeting with your study group?” “No, I am definitely going with you to the museum,” Nate answers. “I love mummies! All right, so we are picking Mom and Dad up in about an hour.” “Yes, I will leave in five minutes,” Allison says. Nate is confused. “What do you mean? We are both going, right?” “Of course not!” Allison laughs. “Look at this place! I was very busy making all the reservations and getting all the tickets. We did not clean at all!” “Oh no, you are right!” Nate looks at the messy living room and remembers all the dirty dishes in the kitchen. “What will we do?” “Do not worry, my dear brother,” Allison says, smiling. “You know I always have a plan.” “Is a cleaning service coming?” Nate asks. “Are Mom and Dad staying in a hotel?” “No, silly!” Allison replies. “No one will come to help us clean.” “Then what is your wonderful plan? What are we doing to get the apartment clean? Mom and Dad are arriving in just forty-five minutes!”

Now Nate will get really nervous. “Not to worry,” Allison reassures her brother. “I am driving to the airport to pick them up, and then we are all going to a new art gallery that just opened. We are taking a guided tour for an hour.” “How does an art gallery tour get the house clean?” Nate wonders. “That does not clean the house! Remember that you will stay here, little brother,” Allison says, giving him a hug before she walks to the door. “This way you will have lots of time! I will go out to have fun with Mom and Dad because I am a wonderful daughter, and you will stay here to clean the whole apartment because you are a wonderful son!”

Explanation:

Future tense is a type of verb that describes an event that is yet to happen, but expected to happen in future. One of the commonest examples of a future tense is adding the word "will" followed by the event. For example,  I will wash the plates later.

Read the excerpt from A Girl from Yamhill. He does not faint. Somehow Mother boosts him along to the parlor couch. Later, after
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

The universal theme present in this excerpt is:

A. Hard work often leads to injuries and suffering.

Explanation:

"A Girl from Yamhill" is a memoir by author Beverly Cleary. In the particular excerpt we are analyzing here, the universal theme that can be noticed is that hard work often leads to injuries and suffering. <u>We all know that, as a general rule, farm work is hard work. It demands a lot of physical strength from those performing it. The character in the excerpt has the muscles to do the work, but his shoulder sockets are too shallow for the weight of those muscles. When the horses jer.k on the reins, he dislocates his arm. This injury obviously leads to pain and suffering.</u>
