This short story is called “Sweat”, written by <u><em>Zora Neale Hurston.</em></u>  

Question: How does the author's characterization of Bertha help reveal Delia's attitude toward Sykes' affairs?

Answer: C. By describing only Bertha's negative characteristics, the author hints at Delia's confidence in her own desirability as a wife.

Delia had for some time already been fed up with her no-good husband and she knew that she was the breadwinner in the home,  so in fact she did not need him to live happily ever after. Therefore,  she was confident in her own desirability as a wife.

Please Help!(: Write a paragraph naming three possible agendas and one example of each that you might find in the media.
Pani-rosa [81]
There are three times of agenda-settings: 1. Public agenda setting, in which the public's agenda is the dependent variable. 2. Media agenda setting, in which the media's agenda is treated as the variable. And 3. Policy agenda setting, in which the elite policy makers' agendas are treated as the dependent variable.

You can use practically any issue in the news today to find examples of each.

1. Public agenda settings are generally generated using social media. The most recent uproar in social media in the body-positivity issues.

2. Media agenda settings are generally found in biased news reports. Anything relating to the innocence of Hillary Clinton or the racism of Trump is a media controlled agenda.

3. Policy maker agenda comes from the government. Most recently, the argument for gun policies by our current President who uses tragedies such as Orlando to push a gun policy agenda.

What is intended in "Revolutionary Tea" by singing about King George III as an "island queen?" to make his actions seem unnatura
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

C). To mock him as weak.

Explanation:

The purpose behind singing about King George III as the 'island queen' in 'Revolutionary Tea' is that the poet is willing 'to mock at his cruelty of putting 'three-penny' tax on the daily use items like 'tea' despite being rich and powerful('full of gold'). The poet is ridiculing the hypocrisy and brutality of the king through the image of the island queen who forces 'her own daughter'(the citizens) to pay the tax and orders her to 'bring home the tax.' Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

Read this example of incorrect sentence structure. Winter is coming I need a new coat. Which revisions best correct the sentence
telo118 [61]

Winter is coming; I need a new coat.

Winter is coming, so I need a new coat.

Because winter is coming, I need a new coat.

The sentence structure of the original sentence is wrong because it is a run on sentence. The sentence has two complete thoughts/ideas without the proper punctuation between them. The first complete thought is "Winter is coming". The second complete thought is "I need a new coat." These need to either be joined with a semicolon or a comma and conjunction. The first answer uses the semicolon to join the two complete ideas into a compound sentence. The second correct answer uses a comma and conjunction, so, to join the two complete ideas. The last correct answer creates a dependent clause by beginning the sentence with "because". Then the comma shows the separation between the dependent clause and the independent clause.
