Which excerpt from The Great Fire is a counterexample of the theme that people have the capacity to act selflessly during disast

ers?
"I saw a great many kindly acts done as we moved along," White would recall almost fondly.
I heard of cartmen demanding one hundred and fifty dollars (in hand, of course) for carrying a single load.
The wind had increased in velocity, and burning chunks of wood were being carried for many blocks before they fell to earth.
In addition to the tiny shacks, substantial wood, brick, and stone structures were begun as well, and an army of workers emerged to do the job.

The correct answer is alternative one.

In the first excerpt, White has affectionate memories about the good-hearted and thoughtful performances that people executed at the time they moved forward. As a consequence, the passage is a good example that human beings possesss the ability to behave in a benevolent and self-sacrificing manner in the course of a catastrophe.

Word Meanings and Nuances 9:Question 4
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

First Option: Personification of Justice shows that Justice does not favor certain people over  others, but treats all equally, giving rewards and punishments according to what  people deserve

Explanation:

Lady Justice is allegorical personification of Justice. Since mid-sixteenth century Lady Justice is mostly depicted blindfolded which symbolizes her impartiality. Lady Justice being blindfolded represents the idea that the lady justice decides without any favor to particular color, race, wealth or any other status.

Second and third options are incorrect because they have no connection with this personification.

Fourth option is incorrect because it is a personification in which the Lady Justice personifies the concept of justice.

Read the excerpt from "Speaking Arabic."
SOVA2 [1]

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Read the excerpt from “Speaking Arabic.”

At a neighborhood fair in Texas, somewhere between the German Oom-pah Sausage Stand and the Mexican Gorditas booth, I overheard a young man say to his friend, “I wish I had a heritage. Sometimes I feel—so lonely for one.” And the tall American trees were dangling their thick branches right down over his head.

Which best explains how Nye’s text structure helps establish her voice in the excerpt?

a) Nye relates a story about something she heard to emphasize the point she wants to make about heritage.

b) Nye compares her experience to a stranger’s experience to express her ideas about the importance of heritage.

c) Nye lists food booths at a neighborhood fair in Texas to make a statement about diverse foods in America.

d) Nye uses a cause-and-effect format to show how heritage can limit a person’s cultural diversity.

Answer:

a) Nye relates a story about something she heard to emphasize the point she wants to make about heritage.

Explanation:

In "Speaking Arabic", author Naomi Shihab Nye develops the theme of heritage. As we can see, she mentions something she overheard a man say to do so. This American man does not understand and, for that reason, does not value his own heritage. He says he wishes he had a heritage, not being able to look around and realize how diverse his country is. She goes ahead to mention the trees to show how heritage is all around him, how he would certainly be able to see it if he truly wanted to.

gogolik [260]
I believe the correct answer is - <span>Garcia uses formal, academic language and location words to suggest a theory about fate.
As you can see in the excerpt above, Garcia is using words such as vagaries, happenstance, etc, which are not normally used in everyday conversations. Thus, they are a bit formal, academic, and suggest a certain message in the text.
