Answer:

D. In Brueghel's Icarus, for instance: how everything turns

Quite worriedly toward the disaster

Explanation:

Brueghel's Icarus refers to a painting made by Pieter Brueghel, which puts the spotlight on the townsmen who were around during Icarus' mythological fall from the sky since he flew too close to the sun. It depicts the indifference of the witnesses, who were busy engaging with their pursuits to bother paying attention to the fact that Icarus had just fallen. Since Auden's poem is written in honor of the painting, (D) would be the best answer if the painting instead depicted the witnesses' concern over what is happening instead of indifference.

Read the following passage:
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

C. The author likens joy to sunshine to show how positive feelings can overcome dreariness.

Explanation:

This is a very common metaphor in literature: Sunshine is like an almighty force that can overcome pretty much anything.

In this case, Hector's joy is compared to sunshine, and there's no literal sunshine actually involved. Regardless, the figurative brightness and warmth of Hector's positive attitude is told to be powerful enough to overcome the dreariness (likened to gray skies and rain) that those around him may be going through.

The answer is D because it is the only answer choice that actually points out Hector's attitude as being a sunshine that overcomes the dreariness in others' moods.

In at least 150 words, discuss how Emerson portrays John Brown as a kind of "everyman" in his speech and what effect it has.
Alona [7]

John Brown was an American abolitionist who advocated insurrection as a means to end slavery in the United States. For his activities outside the law, Brown was accused of treason against the Commonwealth of Virginia, found guilty and hanged.

Prior to his death and after his sentencing, a large number of prominent figures raised money and wrote speeches in his defense. One of this people was Ralph Waldo Emerson. Emerson presented Brown as a common, everyday man who had strong ideals and felt compelled to act upon them. This was intended to present Brown as an admirable man and to invoke sympathy among the people by identifying themselves with him.

Choose one of Schlosser’s two claims: “the fast-food industry resembles the manufacturing business” or “teenagers are the ideal
loris [4]
The fast food has an organized way of making food for the customers. They also have complete equipment from food preparation, distribution and selling of food. The manager as boss directly applies management of workers which gives the business good standing to make the business work. This routine resembles other businesses and is not far from the organizational flow. 

Teenagers are the ideal people for the business because they have fast response. They think quickly and can follow the procedures given to them. They have enough energy to perform their tasks.

Crank

In experimental physics, reverberation produces echo and thus makes undesirable sound. An echo is a sound reflected off of a surface. In a big hall, it interferes with the actual sound. It gives confusion when people are having a conversation.
