Using the dictionary definition, write one to two sentences explaining the meaning of “papyrus” as it is used in this sentence:

“These included government officials, doctors, and priests, as well as the scribes who did the actual writing on papyrus and stone.” (pa·py·rus [puh-PAYH-russ] n. 1: a grass that grows in the Nile Valley 2: a material for writing on)

Papyrus was used by ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans in the way we use paper today. It was created with thin strips of the pith of the papyri plant.

What is the most likely reason Churchill regularly brings up negative details about the war, such as the German victory in the B
Pie

I think the most likely reason Churchill regularly brougth up negative details about the war is:

A. He wants Britain to have realistic expectations about the future.

As a great strategist, Churchill focused on the evidence given by other battles, like the German victory in France, to learn from his enemy. By lying to his people, british army would not be prepared for the battles coming and wold be defeated. Some generals in World War II believed that war would be fougth like World War I, they were not based on any evidence, and were eventually surprised by the new tactics the German developed (like the Blitzkrieg).

Churchill was able to make alliances with the United States and the URSS, so letter B. seems incorrect.

History made clear that Churchill was a great leader that never gave up so letter C. seems incorrect too.

By giving negative details abaout war Germany wouldn't think Britain is weak so letter D is incorrect.

Is mandisa correct in saying Mxolisi is a product of his own environment
Schach [20]

Answer:

Yes, Mandisa is correct in saying that Mxolisi is a product of his own environment.

Explanation:

Mother to Mother is a book based on real life event happened back in 1993. The book is written by Sindiwe Magona. Amy Biehl was killed a few yards away from her home. She came to South Africa to study. She was murdered by Mxolisi, the narrator's son. The book is written in epistolary form by Mandisa to Amy's mother.

<u>Mandisa is correct in saying that her son, Mxolisi is a product of his own environment. Mxolisi himself chose the environment where people, who radicalized him before the crime were the same who shamed him after the crime. Mxolisi joined the Young Lions group, who was responsible for circling The Girl's car, which led Mxolisi to murder her.</u>

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

The excerpt from:

  • "Annabel Lee" is written in a sestet
  • "In Memorium" is written in a quatrain
  • "Nothing Gold Can Stay" is written in an octave
  • "Hero and Leander" is written in couplets

Explanation:

A sestet is a stanza composed of six lines, a quatrain of four lines, an octave is written in eight lines, and a couplet is a set of two rhyming lines, usually written in the same meter.

It is important to note that the definitions of all these types of stanzas have varied with different works and origins and some can further be classified into various sub-types depending on their position in the poem, meter, use, etc., and can be further elaborated with typical rhyme schemes that they use; however, the common aspect that they share is the number of lines, which is what the question is based on.
