Studies of test scores show that watching television has a markedly positive effect on children whose parents speak English as a second language, as compared to those whose native language is English.
(A) to those whose native language is English
(B) with children whose native language is English
(C) with those who are native English speakers
(D) to children whose parents do not
(E) with children whose parents are native English speakers
Answer:
(E) with children whose parents are native English speakers
Explanation:
Compared with is used for objects whose similarities have a close resemblance, while compared to is used in comparing objects who have a wide gap in similarities. Also, in the context above, the comparison is between children whose parents speak English as a second language and parents whose parents speak English as a native language. Option E provides an appropriate comparison of the relevant subjects.
So it would be right to say, "Studies of test scores show that watching television has a markedly positive effect on children whose parents speak English as a second language, as compared with children whose parents are native English speakers".

Why do you think that the massacre in Tulsa, Oklahoma was largely forgotten, even
by those living in the states?
The massacre in Tulsa was against the black community. Partly the reason the bombing was forgotten was because of racial things. The community in Tulsa was rundown and not cared for. So people turned their heads and didn't care. Also because people often don't care about black community's.

What is the meaning of the figurative language used in this excerpt? Mark Antony is sweet and kind with his words. Mark Antony steals honey and gives it back to the bees without them knowing. Mark Antony manipulates people without them knowing. Mark Antony is like a bee that makes honey for Rome.
Answer:
Mark Antony manipulates people without them knowing.
Explanation:
William Shakespeare's "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" revolve around the death of Julius Caesar and the fights for the power of Rome. This play delves into the historical facts about Caesar's death and how the nation of Rome came to be the main bone of contentment among the major powers in an attempt to be made ruler of Rome.
In the given excerpt from Act V scene i of the play, Cassius comments how Mark Antony is like a bee, for "they rob the Hybla bees And leave them honeyless". This is a figurative language that compares Antony to a honeybee who sweet-talks and gain friendship and trust from the others while secretly trying to achieve personal gain, for his own interest. Cassius's comment seems to suggest that Mark Antony knows how to manipulate people without them knowing what he is really doing.

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.
A fire was lit in a giant iron cauldron, and the certificates of 2,300 Indians were tossed into the flames—the first major act of Satyagraha. "I am not property," the Indians were showing. "I am not your victim," they were demonstrating. "I have the power of my conscience," they were proving. The quiet strength of the Indian community shook the South African government. And by June 1914 it gave in; the Black Act was taken off the books. The Indians had insisted that they were not mere workers but were citizens—and finally the government could not resist.
What evidence do the authors include to support the central idea of this passage?
The burning of certificates and the repeal of the Black Act show that the Indians reclaimed their power.
The Black Act shows that the South African government saw the Indians as property.
The burning of certificates and the act of Satyagraha show how the Indians had to comply with the Black Act.
The presence of 2,300 Indians shows that the community in South Africa was large enough to revolt.
Answer:
The burning of certificates and the repeal of the Black Act show that the Indians reclaimed their power.
Explanation:
The given passage concerns about the Black Act that was passed in South Africa specifically for Asians (Indian and Chinese to be precise). The Black Act required all male members of the society to produce for themselves and his family a certificate of identity. This act was revolted by Gandhi through Satyagraha.
The central idea of the passage is how Indians act of resistance helped them to reclaim their power. And to support this central idea the author included the burning of certificates (of identity) and resistance by Indians as an evidence to show that Indians reclaimed their power.
Thus the correct answer is the first option.
The evidence the authors include to support the central idea of the passage is:
A. The burning of certificates and the repeal of the Black Act show that the Indians reclaimed their power.
The passage belonging to "Sugar Changed the World," by Marina Budhos and Marc Aronson, has as its central idea the reclaim of power by the Indian community in South Africa.The Black Act was an obligatory registration for Chinese and Indian people to remain in South Africa. Everyone, from the age 8 and upward, was supposed to be registered, otherwise they would have to leave.The authors provide two details to support the central idea:1. the burning of the certificates by the Indian community and
2. the repeal (cancellation) of the Black Act.
In conclusion, with those details, the authors support the idea that the Indian community was able to reclaim their power.Learn more about this subject here:

Which action relies heavily on a person's cognitive abilities?
A). Standing on one foot for a entire minute
B). Watching television
C). Treading water in the swimming pool
D). Playing a game of poker
Answer:
D). Playing a game of poker
Explanation:
Poker is a complex game that requires knowledge of the game, which has a set of rules that are not that easy to comprehend at first.
It also requires planning and strategy, which are abilities that scientists have found to cluster in the frontal parts of the brain.
For these reasons, playing a game of poker requires a high degree of cognitive ability, and this is why it is not surprising that many smart people like poker, and that people who are good at poker are often intelligent for many other cognitive tasks as well.

In no less than seventy-five words, explain some differences between the kind of memorization that is required in a game like "Telephone" and that which is required by a bard reciting The Odyssey. Comment on the effects of those differences for an oral society versus a literary one.
Different cultures take different approaches to the way they transmit knowledge. These varieties are often classified in two categories: oral and literary traditions.
An oral society is one in which knowledge is transmitted from person to person through speech. We can compare this to the children's game "Telephone," in which children pass along a message by whispering in each other's ear. There are several advantages to this approach. For example, through this method, people only need to memorize the main parts of a story, while being able to alter the details slightly. This requires a memorization that is less precise and more analytical. However, it can also lead to many inaccuracies and unintentional changes.
On the other hand, a literary culture tends to write information down. This allows people to seek out the source and read it without having to meet someone who can recite it to them. This ensures that the text remains the same throughout time. It also allows for more information to be stored. However, memorizing such a text is a more difficult task, as every word and detail needs to remain identical upon recitation. This would be the process a bard would have to follow when reciting The Odyssey.
Although each method would have a different impact on the information that is shared and the effects it has in society, there is no one single perfect method. They each come with advantages and disadvantages for the societies that practice them.

‘A Slight Misunderstanding’ is an example of humorous narrative essay. Pick out a few humorous instances from the story.
Answer:
A Slight Misunderstanding is a short humourous book written by J. B Boothroyd, a popular English writer.
The story has a few humorous instances such as when the protagonist of the story enters the wrong car because it was similar to his car but saw that it contained a woman's handbag but he somehow found the home address of the lady by reading the collar on a dog nearby that barked at him.
He eventually found out that the car was actually his own car that the woman forgot her handbag in.
The situation was funny when he was relating it to the woman's husband because the husband was used to his wife's forgetfulness and carelessness. It was also funny because the only reason the protagonist knew it was actually his car was because of the plate number.
Another humorous incident that happened was when the protagonist entered a wrong car for real when the boot of the car was opened and it was hay that was there instead of fruits, fish, and other groceries.

Answer:
It keeps the audience engaged in the plot by suggesting more potential conflict in the story.
It creates suspense as the reader wonders why Friar Laurence would utter this warning.
It provides a clue that something tragic will happen to the lovers later as the story progresses.
Explanation:
William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Ju liet" revolves around the fateful love story of two young lovers who were dealt a heavy blow due to their family's opposition to each other. Their love became 'illegal' and thus, led to the two lovers choosing death over anything that can separate them.
In Act I scene v of the play, Friar Laurence's speech about "violent delights [that] have violent ends" and the need to "love moderately; long love doth so;" shows a sense of suspense about what might happen in the coming scenes. This foreshadowing speech of the Friar leaves the audience so engaged in the story, keeping it open for more conflicting scenes. Moreover, it also makes us wonder why he had to say that, which in turn keeps the suspense over the fate of the lovers in the open, suggesting that the lovers may be met with something tragic.
Thus, the correct answers are the first, third, and fifth options.

She wishes to calm Mary and cover up her own lack of composure. Mary frets that Mr Elliot will disappear from view. Mary is creating a fuss in front of the others in the room
Answer:

In the given passage from the text, Mary revealed she saw Mr. Elliot and Mrs. Clay together which Anne denied for Mr. Elliot "was to leave Bath at nine this morning, and does not come back till to-morrow." But when Mary insisted it was them, Anne had no choice but to go and see for herself. She did it mainly to calm Mary and also to hide her embarrassment in not knowing what is really going on or who Mr. Elliot really is.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
