Match the underlined words in the excerpts from Stephen Crane's "The Open Boat" to their correct contextual meanings. Tiles disr

espectful, irreverent rapid and powerful absurd, unreasonable coarse and uncivilized Pairs But the waves continued their old impetuous swooping at the dinghy, and the little craft, no longer under way, struggled woundily over them. Many a man ought to have a bathtub larger than the boat which here rode upon the sea. These waves were most wrongfully and barbarously abrupt and tall, and each froth-top was a problem in small-boat navigation. "Holy smoke!" said one, allowing his voice to express his impious mood, "if we keep on monkeying out here! If we've got to flounder out here all night!" It is preposterous. If this old ninny-woman, Fate, cannot do better than this, she should be deprived of the management of men's fortunes. She is an old hen who knows not her intention.

3. Which statement describes Mary's motivation for covering
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is (A) She wants to protect her unborn child.</u>

Explanation:

Mary is about six months pregnant when she finds out that her husband is going to leave her.

This comes as a shock to her. She is very agitated and impulsive at this point.

Hence in the heat of the moment, she kills her husband.

<em>She did not want to go to prison because she can not bear the fact that they will take her child away from her.</em>

<em></em>

<em></em>

<em>She even thinks that they might kill her unborn child.</em>

She could not bear the thought of this, hence she decided to cover up the murder.

How is suspense handled differently in different mediums?
vampirchik [111]
There are many ways to convey suspense. In movies, you can do it with choosing specific tunes in the background and making sets that look eerie or by zooming in on people's faces (which was an old method). In music you can slow the tempo down and add some random high pitched notes from time to time such as those found in old horror films or classical tunes. In books, it is usually done through descriptions of the unknown or mysterious.

Write a brief summary of chivalry by Neil Gaiman while maintaining the meaning and logical order
faust18 [17]

The above question wants to assess your ability to read, interpret and write. For that reason, I can't create a summary for you, but I'll show you how to create one.

First of all, it is important for you to know that a summary is text presented in a summarized form, but showing the most important parts of an original text.

Therefore, to write your summary, you must:

  1. Read the entire text "Chivalry" written by Neil Gaiman.
  2. Reread and highlight the most important sentences that allow the reader to understand the subject covered in the text.
  3. Rewrite these sentences, but modify the words used by Neil Gaiman to avoid plagiarism. However, keep the meaning of these sentences.

Importantly, "Chivalry" is the short story that tells how an elderly woman managed to buy the Holy Grail in an antique shop and began to be visited by an Arthurian knight.

Gisella is planning a speech advocating that all students be required to take two years of a foreign language prior to graduatio
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Gisella is using the <u>primacy principle.</u>

Explanation:

As Gisella knows that the audience is against her position, she presents her main argument for students taking two years of a foreign language before graduating at the beginning of her speech so that the audience remembers the main point of taking these classes.

In other words, the primacy principle states that a person mostly remembers what the speaker says at the beginning of the speech, and the person will retain less information as time goes by. That is why Gisella must present her main argument at the beginning of the speech.
