Did you see the movie, The Lord of the Rings. Most people know that it's based on J.R.R. Tolkien's book? But few realize that, by day, Tolkien was a professor of ancient languages! He led a very normal life as a college professor, preparing lectures and grading papers. He loved to write, however, and in his spare time at night, he escaped to a world of hobbits, elves, and other creatures! In 1937, he published The Hobbit? Then he wrote the three novels that are known together as The Lord of the Rings! It took him twelve years? Have you ever seen the three books in one volume. If so, you know how much work Tolkien put into creating his fantasy world! Actually, it's surprising that it took him only twelve years.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Let's use the elimination process. It would not be A because research is not opinions, it is facts. It would not be B because that answer is simply absurd. It would not be D because that also makes no sense. So its C.

Virty [35]

Answer:

There is 254 counties in Texas, making it the state with the highest number of counties.

Explanation:

The subject and the verb have to agree when it comes to quantity. They have to be both single or both plural for them to agree.

There are more than one county in Texas. The linking verb "is" needs to be changed to "are".

It should be:

There are 254 counties in Texas, making it the state with the highest number of counties. Georgia has the second highest number with 159 counties.

Which best states a comparison of the tones used in these sentences? Both sentences are negative, but the second sentence has a
dimaraw [331]

This question is missing the sentences, being incomplete for that reason. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Read this sentence from Silent Spring.

Along the roads, laurel, viburnum and alder, great ferns and wildflowers delighted the traveler's eye through much of the year.

Read this sentence from "Save the Redwoods".

The wrongs done to trees, wrongs of every sort, are done in the darkness of ignorance and unbelief, for when light comes the heart of the people is always right.

Which best states a comparison of the tones used in these sentences?

A. Both sentences are negative, but the second sentence has a more negative tone.

B. Both sentences are positive, but the first sentence has a more serious tone.

C. Both sentences are despairing, but the first sentence has a gloomier tone.

D. Both sentences are uplifting, but the second sentence has a more moral tone.

Answer:

The option that best states a comparison of the tones is:

D. Both sentences are uplifting, but the second sentence has a more moral tone.

Explanation:

<u>Both the sentences from "Silent Spring" and "Save the Redwoods" have an uplifting tone. However, the second sentence talks of right and wrong, which is a moral matter. The first sentence does not bring any type of judgement, only a sense of inspiration and delight. The second sentence speaks of light coming to the heart of people, which does inspire some cheerfulness. But it still talks of darkness, ignorance, and wrongful doing. Therefore, we can say both sentences are uplifting, but the second one has a more moral tone.</u>

In at least 100 words, describe how Whitman’s "Song of Myself" embodies Transcendental ideals.
andrew-mc [135]
Starting with its very title, "Song of Myself" is indeed a poetic embodiment of the transcendentalist philosophy. Whitman (or the speaker who calls himself Whitman) doesn't sing and praise some outside ideals or occurrences, but himself. This is the transcendentalist ideal of self-reliance, explained in Emerson's eponymous essay. It says that the greatest strength of every individual is his/her own self, independent, free from authority and restraints, liberated and self-sufficient. Both Emerson and Whitman, each in his own right, have written a giant ode to individualism.

Another transcendentalist ideal embodied in Whitman's famous poem is relationship with nature. In his view, nature is the source of genuine beauty and wisdom, uncorrupted by the touch of social and political institutions. Whitman says "<span>I will go to the bank by the wood and become undisguised and naked", which means that nature is the only realm of sincerity, and people can only be true to themselves if they are independent of humanity but close to nature.

Just like Transcendentalism has been a unique, authentic American take on Romanticism, Whitman has been the pillar of American national and cultural identity in poetry. He has taken the very American notion of individualism (defined and praised by transcendentalists) and put it in his poetry, most notably in "Song of Myself" as the most self-obsessed, yet not egotistical account of modern American poetry.</span>

In his short autobiographical essay, Sorrentino says, "I am writing this to emphasize the truth of this." Which of the following
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The entire essay gives truthful facts about the author.

The essay is an example of Sorrentino's humour.

Explanation:

Sorrention says in his essay: "I'm writing this in the first person to emphasize the truth of these statements" and "..  Considering that I have been writing for thirty-two years, my bibliography is fairly short. "   These make  it evident that he talks by himself and he has to do so in the first person to sound reliable. He is very young and it seems that no one will talk about his works as a writer for the time being. Besides, there is not much to say about himself but just to mention all the books he has written so far. He sounds ironic but reliable.
