L. Frank Baum’s “The Cowardly Lion and Hungry Tiger,” begins with the Cowardly Lion deciding he wants to tear a person to pieces and the Hungry Tiger deciding he wants to eat a “fat baby.” The story progresses with the lion and tiger walking around the Emerald City looking for a person and a baby.  However, when they find the objects of their quest, instead of tearing the person to pieces, the lion helps her up after she falls down and “with much gentleness carried her into her house.”  And, instead of eating a lost baby the tiger finds crying for its mother, the tiger “safely deposited [it] beside its mother,” which just so happens to be the same person the lion helps.  Irony can be seen here in how the opposites of the beginning intentions of their adventure occur—helping instead of killing.

The Form of a poem is the way it looks and how it is arranged on the page <br> A.True B. False
Ket [755]
I'd say it's false. 
A poem has to follow a specific pattern, rhyme, scheme or meter to identify it's form.
So just going off of the way the poem looks on the page is not the true form.

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

C. Providing an example of a disease that commonly manifests during Level 3

Explanation:

An anorexic person is one who has a eating disorder that causes him/her to be obsessive with what they eat as well as their weight. It is characterised by an inordinate fear of being overweight

The author was discussing around man's needs & how that man cannot escape those basic needs. Maslows introduced the concept of hierarchy of needs & classified them into 5 strata namely: psychological, security/safety, social, esteem & self-actualization (the Maslows pyramid is attached). Maslows proposed that people would fulfil the fundamental needs before moving on to other needs. As such, an anorexic is only trying to shy away from his/her fundamental & basic need (in this case, food). But much more in this case, the anorexic person is staying off food to fulfil his/her <u>social need</u> (to 'belong' & be accepted). <u>We see that anorexia can be an offshoot of social need</u>

<u>Hence, the author is pointing out a disease that could arise on the third level of the hierarchical needs. This means option C is the correct answer</u>

What effect does the use of mixed Spanish and English have in this excerpt from "Freeway 280" by Lorna Dee Cervantes? Albaricosq
son4ous [18]

E. The mixed language hints at the poet's inner conflicts based on her bicultural heritage.

To understand why is this the correct answer we need to know more about the autho Lorna Dee Cervantes.

"Of both Mexican and Native American ancestry, Cervantes is a member of a fifth-generation California family. Her parents, concerned about prejudices against Spanish-speaking citizens in the United States, strictly forbade the use of any language but English in the home as Cervantes was growing up. Cervantes's poetry often reflects this clash between her ethnic background and the American culture around her. As a way of reflecting her multicultural upbringing, the poet often makes use of both English and Spanish vocabulary in her poems."

* Freeway 280." Poetry for Students. . Encyclopedia.com. 6 Mar. 2019

The author in the poem does not want to celebrate her biculturalism but wants to express through the use of the two languages that she is internally in conflict with her identity and does not reject any of the two cultures she has. Mexican and American.

6. PART B: Which paragraph shares the same purpose as the answer to Part A?

A. Paragraph 81

B. Paragraph 86

C. Paragraph 89

D. Paragraph 92

Answer:

A. To convey Scrooge’s sense of fear and dread

A. Paragraph 81

Explanation:

Scrooge is a grumpy and greedy old man whose business partner, Jacob Marley, died seven years before. On Christmas eve, he saw the ghostly images of Jacob on the doorknocker of his front door, and that of a locomotive hearse climbing his house´s stairs.  

The fact that he double-locked himself in when that´s not his custom and him feeling "a terrible sensation" shows that he´s frightened by the experience.
