Answer:

<u>Option a. The following quotation from "A Horseman in the Sky" shows how Carter Druze's father advances the plot of the story:</u>

<u>"Well, go, sir, and, whatever may occur, do what you conceive to be your duty."</u>

Explanation:

When Carter's Druze's father tells him that he should go and do his duty, no matter what, Carter is then determined to face the horseman in battle. It could be analyzed that his father's words make the plot of the story to advance to the next level as they make Carter to take an action. In the end, the reader finds out that the horseman Carter needed to fight was no other than his own father, with the tragic irony of father and son being in opposite sides of a war.

"A Horseman in the Sky" is a short-story written by American author Ambrose Bierce that was first published on April 14th, 1889. It tells the story of Carter Druze, a young soldier that is fighting during the American Civil War, when he finds himself wandering weather or not he should shoot a Confederacy Horseman he sees not far away.

The quotation that shows how Carter Druze's father advances the plot of the story is the first one "'Well, go, sir, and, whatever may occur, do what you conceive to be your duty.'"

Carter Durze does so, while being in a post of duty, and killed his father because it was his duty to protect his army camp location.

As many landfills run out of space, some communities are making plans and tackling their heaping piles of garbage with innovativ
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Of the sentences provided, it is number 4 that would be the best alternative topic sentence for this paragraph about innovations in what to do with the household waste we produce. The alternative topic sentence would be: "The costs and pollution generated by landfills force communities to think creatively about what to do with everything we throw out."

Explanation:

The fourth option is the most appropriate as an alternative topic sentence because it is the alternative sentence that best summarizes the topics in the paragraph.  The paragraph mentions that not everything we throw out is recycled, and cities are responding by looking for ways to expand recycling, or turning trash into energy. They have also been looking at ways to speed up the process of decomposition to make landfills more efficient. These points can be summarized as concerns about costs and concerns about pollution as detailed in sentence number 4.  

Sentence number 2 is just a repeat of the original topic sentence.  Sentence 1 does not really incorporate the idea of making the waste decompose faster which was one of the options. And sentence 3 repeats information in the paragraph and does not really summarize all points.

What do the phrases "made man" and "making of a man" mean in the context of the story? Use evidence from the text to explain you
alekssr [168]
The phrase "making of a man" refers to the process by which a man becomes successful or prosperous, while the phrase "made man" refers to actually being successful. 
The phrase "making of a man" is used when Henry discusses Harris’s "humble feeding house." He says, "I was the making of Harris. The fact had gone all abroad that the foreign crank who carried million-pound bills in his vest pocket was the patron saint of the place.” When people find out that Henry, already known for having a million-pound bank note, breakfasts at Harris’s eating house, the restaurant’s popularity skyrockets. Earlier, Harris’s eating house had been "poor, struggling," but it became "celebrated, and overcrowded with customers" after London society hears that Henry eats there. 
The phrase "made man" is used when Henry is caricatured in Punch. He says, "Punch caricatured me! Yes, I was a made man now; my place was established. I might be joked about still, but reverently, not hilariously, not rudely; I could be smiled at, but not laughed at." Because he was mimicked so publicly, Henry becomes famous, and his good reputation is solidified.

Select the correct texts in the passage.
gavmur [86]

the correct answer that best describes the excerpt of that story is:

"You pretended envoy extraordinary and an agent to and from Jupiter Tonans," laughed I; "you mere man who come here to put you and your pipestem between clay and sky, do you think that because you can strike a bit of green light from the Leyden jar, that you can thoroughly avert the supernal bolt? Your rod rusts, or breaks, and where are you? Who has empowered you, you Tetzel, to peddle round your indulgences from divine ordinations? The hairs of our heads are numbered, and the days of our lives. In thunder as in sunshine, I stand at ease. False negotiator, away! See, the scroll of the storm is rolled back; the house is unharmed; and in the blue heavens I read in the rainbow, and will not make war on man's earth"
