Answer:
A: It shocks him and makes him feel unsure about the future .
Explanation:
In Kay Mouradian's short story "Excerpt From My Mother's Voice: The Proclamation", the narrator tells the story of a man named Hagop Minishian and his family. Though it presents just a single scene where he was playing a game of backgammon with a friend, the coming of the proclamation led to the sudden shift in the atmosphere of the characters involved.
While playing the game and also reminiscing about his youngest daughter Flora's birth and life, the horseback riding Turkish soldier came and nailed a paper proclaiming the 'arrest/ surrender' of Armenians. This proclamation was read by everyone in the square, including Hagop who was greatly shocked at the order and makes him feel unsure about what the future will hold for them.

Read this excerpt from Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens, and identify the meaning of the words in bold based on their context.
It chanced one morning, while Oliver's affairs were in this auspicious and comfortable state, that Mr. Gamfield, chimney-sweep, went his
way down the High Street, deeply cogitating in his mind his ways and means of paying certain arrears of rent, for which his landlord had
become rather pressing. Mr. Gamfield's most sanguine estimate of his finances could not raise them within full five pounds of the desired
amount; and, in a species of arithmetical desperation, he was alternately cudgelling his brains and his donkey, when passing the
workhouse, his eyes encountered the bill on the gate.
Wo-o!" said Mr. Gamfield to the donkey.
The donkey was in a state of profound abstraction: wondering, probably, whether he was destined to be regaled with a cabbage-stalk or
two when he had disposed of the two sacks of soot with which the little cart was laden; so, without noticing the word of command, he
jogged onward.

belittling
Answer:I managed to find the complete exercise on the Internet, given that you haven't provided us with all options given to you.
1. cogitating = contemplating
To cogitate means to think about something (cogito in Latin literally means 'to think). Contemplating means to mull over a couple (or a lot) of options which is what Mr. Gamefield is doing in the excerpt above - he is thinking of ways to pay his rent.
2. cudgeling = beating
A cudgel is a short stick which you can use as a weapon. So if you cudgel something or someone, it means that you are beating them with a cudgel, because it is a thick stick, almost like a bat. So this person was metaphorically cudgeling his brain, but literally cudgeling his donkey.
3. regaled = rewarded
The verb to regale has two meanings - it can either mean 'to entertain someone,' or it can mean 'to supply someone with something.' Here, the latter meaning is used - the donkey thought he would be given a cabbage-stalk or two for his hard work

How does the author use characterization to develop a theme of the passage?
Answer:
By giving details on a character's personality, the author helps readers understand that character more accurately.
Explanation:
Which statement best summarizes the author’s ideas?
As women achieve a more equal status, they will begin to question their husbands’ immoral behavior.
As women acquire more equal rights, husbands and wives will behave with respect for one another.
As marriage laws become more reformed, men and women will establish friendships with other couples.
As laws begin to change, the roles of men and women in marriage will become less clear.
Answer:
Explanation:
The statement that best summarizes the author's ideas is that "As women acquire more equal rights, husbands and wives will behave with respect for one another". These equal rights allow both partners to see each other as equals and marry because they have great affection for one another as opposed to how it was before where marriage was more of a business transaction and not done for love.
Answer:
B, As women acquire more equal rights, husbands and wives will behave with respect for one another.

Based on the following passage from John Ralston’s story, what can we infer? Eventually, John read about a California-based recovery group called LifeRing. There were no LifeRing meetings in his area of Pennsylvania, so he began to attend “virtual” meetings online and learn all he could about the organization. LifeRing was completely secular, not religious. In contrast to AA’s motto, “One day at a time,” LifeRing’s is, “Don’t drink, no matter what.” That approach appealed to John. “For me, someone who finally wanted to live my life and make plans, I liked the idea that I could look ahead a month, a year, and assume that I’d be sober then,” he said. “And I couldn’t make God my way to be sober.” Question 9 options: there are differences among recovery programs, and no single program is right for everyone. John is planning to move to California. all the people who attend AA meetings should instead go to LifeRing meetings. attending “virtual” meetings via the Internet was not helpful to Joh
Answer:
A). There are differences among recovery programs, and no single program is right for everyone.
Explanation:
The readers are most likely to infer that 'there are distinctions between the recovery programs offered by AA and LifeRing, and no single program can be right or helpful for everyone.' Each recovery program has its own motto which serves the needs of a specific group of people. Similarly, AA's motto is 'one day at a time' while LifeRing promotes idea of 'don't drink, no matter what.' John's preference for LifeRing over AA suggests the readers that different addicts require different programs to recover. It also makes them infer that 'no single program can serve the needs of everyone.' The other options are irrelevant to the central idea of the passage and therefore, option A is the correct answer.
Match each action to the corresponding motivation
Estella hugs a friend.
wants to help others fit in
Amit invites a new student to sit with
him
wants to be stronger
Keshawn hides behind her parents
wants to make others feel better
Chad lifts weights at the gym.
→
wants to avoid being noticed
Answer: Please refer to Explanation
Explanation:
Estella hugs a friend → wants to make others feel better
The Hormone Oxytocin has been found to give humans less stress and more happiness. This same hormone has been found to be released during hugs which signifies that hugs make human beings feel better. Estelle hugging her friend is therefore to make others feel better.
Amit invites a new student to sit with him → wants to help others fit in
More often than not, New students are quite confused and don't know how to get around or how to behave in their new surroundings. They will probably feel left out as well as they have no friends. Amit invited the new student to sit with him so that he may not feel left out.
Keshawn hides behind her parents → wants to avoid being noticed.
When someone hides behind another person, it is usually because they don't want to be noticed for whatever reason they have. Keshawn hid behind her parents and the most likely reasons is to avoid been noticed.
Chad lifts weights at the gym → Wants to be stronger.
Going to the gym trains the muscles and when the muscles are trained, they get stronger. Chad therefore lifts weights at the gym most probably because he wants to get stronger.

Read the excerpt below and answer the question. True, from dark-skinned sources have come those slave songs based on Protestant hymns and Biblical texts known as the spirituals, work songs and secular songs of sorrow and tough luck known as the blues, that outgrowth of ragtime known as jazz (in the development of which whites have assisted), and the Charleston, an eccentric dance invented by the gamins around the public market-place in Charleston, S.

Answer:
There are certain crucial points in our lives wherein we have to take decisions based on our own discretion and choice.
However, if one is not allowed to decide on one’s own, then it may come out to be a turning point in one’s life negatively.
Such problems usually arise in the lives of teenagers when they are not allowed to opt for their streams of subject and their careers voluntarily.
It is important for a child to realize interest areas and decide accordingly. Parents’ guidance is necessary in their decision but parents need to check whether it is a guidance or a force.
I wanted to learn guitar since childhood. My parents were against it as they thought it would take a toll on my studies. Yet, I managed to make my point clear and ended up learning music. I am happy and self-motivated.
On the other hand, one thing I would like to change is the coming to boarding school. I and my parents thought it would teach me to be self dependent and to be confident. But now I think I am bereft of my parents’ guidance. At this age, I could have lived an altogether a different kind of a life.
