Read the excerpt from “The Scarlet Ibis.” At that moment the bird began to flutter, but the wings were uncoordinated, and amid m

uch flapping and a spray of flying feathers, it tumbled down, bumping through the limbs of the bleeding tree and landing at our feet with a thud. Its long, graceful neck yanked twice into an S, then straightened out, and the bird was still. A white veil came over the eyes and the long white beak unhinged. Its legs were crossed and its claw-like feet were delicately curved at rest. Even death did not mar its grace, for it lay on the earth like a broken vase of red flowers, and we stood around it, awed by its exotic beauty. Based on this passage, the scarlet ibis is a symbol of both fragility and loveliness. sadness and disgrace. desperation and defeat. rarity and hopefulness.

The Tragical History of Life and Dead of Dr. Faustus was composed by Christopher Marlow. As said in the question, the excerpt belongs to scene XIII, which is also the last one. Even though the speaker mentions all the other options (which could make all the answers correct), the line that follows the given excerpt continues by saying "...which I saw of slate,/Whose sweet embraces may extinguish clean...", making this option the correct one.

Which sentence best uses sensory language to describe the setting? O A. Istarted to walk along my favorite trail. I enjoyed walk
Pepsi [2]

Sentence D best uses sensory langauge to describe the setting.

In writing, sensory language is used to help readers connect with the scene or action going on in the text. This is mostly done by using descriptive words that appeal to our five senses. In this case, paragraph D uses words and adjectives that appeals to our senses (sight, soung, smell, taste, touch) like "cool forest air", "damp" and filtering sun".

Compare how Chesterton and the author of “The Instinct that Makes People Rich” interpret the Midas myth. How do these different
Viktor [21]
The writer of "The Instinct that Makes People Rich" interprets the Midas myth as the story of a man who could not fail.

Chesterton, however, says that Midas DID fail. He starved because he could not eat gold.

Chesterton says that success always comes at the sacrifice of something else, something "domestic." (By this he means that, yes, a millionaire has money but will lack something else, like love or friendship, etc.) He says that people who think Midas succeeded are just like the author of the article -- both worship money.

Chesterton says that worshipping money has nothing to do with success and everything to do with snobbery.
