Hello there,

Which if the following sentences contains an oxymoron  

If I'm correct, the answer would be

A. Starting off in the distance, Jenny thought, I’m going to be all right  

Because, an oxymoron is a figure of speech containing words that seem to contradict each other.

Those words should be Starting off in the distance

Read the passage, "How the Golden Carp Learned to Fly" and answer questions 1-4 1. Which statement BEST summarizes the passage?
kicyunya [14]

Hello. You forgot to show the excerpt to which this question refers. The excerpt is:

Alongside the ocean in the mouth of a wide river lived a school of carp in many colors—blue and gray, white and red—and the leader of them all was a carp of a rich golden color, with scales that glistened in the sunlit waters. The golden carp had lived in that harbor all her life and watched with concern as the human port town grew thick and dense like riverweed. People dredged the bottom of the river to make way for massive ships and developed a taste for carp. They cast down their terrorizing twine nets over the sides of their ships, eager to feast upon what they considered a delicacy. With a heavy heart, the golden carp determined it was time to search for safer waters, for it was early spring and time for her to find a hidden place to lay her eggs. Some carp objected to leaving the only home they had ever known, fearing unknown dangers more than their enemies at hand, but the golden carp was determined.  

The golden carp led the school through the wide, deep body of the river city. “Don’t look back,” she told them. “Swim upstream at all costs, as fast as you can.” She hoped against hope that beyond a bend in the river, they would find a safer haven, for their very future depended upon it. Farther upstream, the river narrowed and there were no longer any ships—only small fishing boats from a nearby village. Most carp felt relieved, but the golden carp urged them to press on. “There are still too many hungry people living near these waters for my comfort.” Some carp agreed, but many more elected to stay behind, and most ended up served on plates with grated radish and a splash of soy sauce.  

Muscles aching, tailfins flapping, the golden carp and her stalwart companions swam on. Their bodies and minds were tired as they swam higher and higher upstream, fighting against the current, into the foothills. Here, too, they were hunted, surrounded by the fishing rods and reels of country farmers. Around a bend they heard the thudding rush of water churning and saw that they had come to the foot of a towering waterfall. The golden carp saw the jagged rocks above, judged that no humans could live above the water line, and set her sights on leaping to the top where she knew she and her eggs would be safe. She swam and leapt as high as she could, but it was not high enough. Undaunted, she attempted her jump again and again until she shot into the sky and landed in a pool of water at the top, where she laid her eggs. The fish who remained below claimed the golden carp was magical and had turned into a flying dragon. They argued it was useless to try and shrugged their fins. But the few who kept trying eventually joined her, and they and their offspring lived there at the top for many generations in perfect safety.

Answer:

A school of carp struggles to find a new home far away from the dangers of humans.

Explanation:

The text shown above shows a region where the carp felt threatened by the presence of human beings, who seemed to be increasingly prominent in the place.

Because of this threat, some carp decide to form a school and migrate to other environments where they can live safely.

The journey that carp face is not easy and makes them go through many difficulties, until they find a place where they can live in peace and security.

noname [10]

The statement that , "They act as if we wore our skirts too short and invited trouble, presents an effective analogy.

Explanation:

The Statement comes from the editorial written as  "It’s Time for  a Nation to Return the Favor " on 20th November in the year of 2005, published in The Times-Picayune .

The statement has been made against the people of Washington. The remark made as an analogy is represented towards the burdensome for those people who might have forgotten their status quo. the skirts is compared to that status quo where the shortness of the skirt represents the burdensome and the invited trouble represents their ill remembrance about it.

Write a paragraph about the costs and benefits of having insurance.
andrezito [222]
The cost of insurance can be quite high especially for life insurance if obtained when one has a medical condition but can at least alleviate anxiety of spouses who worry about their financial security if their partner dies early. because then they can get financial help to pay for mortgages/rent etc. Also, for car insurance, the premiums can be high but if one gets in an accident, especially if one does not have fault, then the cost of repairs and some medical treatment will be paid.
