Answer and Explanation:
"The Most Dangerous Game" is a short story by author Richard Connell. The main character is Rainsford, a hunter who is on a yatch on his way to Rio. Upon arriving in Brazil, Rainsford and his friend Whitney intend to go up to the Amazon Forest, to hunt jaguars.
Foreshadowing starts with their conversation on the boat. Foreshadowing is a technique in which a piece of information is given to the audience that will later on unfold into something more important, even though it seemed trivial in the beginning. During their conversation, a Ship-Trap Island is mentioned, which is where Rainsford will end up on. Whitney also mentions that hunting is a good sport for the hunter, but not for the prey. Rainsford, however, cannot empathize with the animals he kills. He sees himself as superior to those animals. Of course, at this point, he has no idea he will find a man who thinks like that, but about other men.
"The old charts call it 'Ship-Trap Island'," Whitney replied. "A suggestive name, isn't it? Sailors have a curious dread of the place. I don't know why. Some superstition--"
[...]
"The best sport in the world," agreed Rainsford.
"For the hunter," amended Whitney. "Not for the jaguar."
"Don't talk rot, Whitney," said Rainsford. "You're a big-game hunter, not a philosopher. Who cares how a jaguar feels?"
"Perhaps the jaguar does," observed Whitney.
"Bah! They've no understanding."
"Even so, I rather think they understand one thing--fear. The fear of pain and the fear of death."
After falling off the yatch, Rainsford swims to the very Ship-Trap Island his friend just talked about. That is where he meets General Zaroff, a hunter whose prey are other men. Zaroff has grown tired of killing animals. According to him, hunting men is more exciting, since men can reason. That makes them the most dangerous game. Zaroff invites Rainsford to hunt with him, but his proposal is refused. This is where suspense begins to intensify. The audience can anticipate that Rainsford will end up being hunted by Zaroff. Once he becomes the prey, suspense grows intense again. Rainsford is a smart man, but Zaroff has the upper hand. Who will win?
"Thank you, I'm a hunter, not a murderer."
"Dear me," said the general, quite unruffled, "again that unpleasant word. But I think I can show you that your scruples are quite ill founded."
"Yes?"
"Life is for the strong, to be lived by the strong, and, if needs be, taken by the strong. The weak of the world were put here to give the strong pleasure. I am strong. Why should I not use my gift? If I wish to hunt, why should I not? I hunt the sc.um of the earth: sailors from tramp ships--lassars, blacks, Chinese, whites, mongrels--a thoroughbred horse or hound is worth more than a score of them."
"But they are men," said Rainsford hotly.
"Precisely," said the general. "That is why I use them. It gives me pleasure. They can reason, after a fashion. So they are dangerous."
[...]
From another door came Ivan. Under one arm he carried khaki hunting clothes, a haversack of food, a leather sheath containing a long-bladed hunting knife; his right hand rested on a cocked revolver thrust in the crimson sash about his waist.
Rainsford had fought his way through the bush for two hours. "I must keep my nerve. I must keep my nerve," he said through tight teeth.
He had not been entirely clearheaded when the chateau gates snapped shut behind him.

Which blue line supports the theme “ love can change a person “
The correct answer is "Jimmy Valentine looked into her eyes, forgot what he was, and became another man"
Explanation:
"A Retrieve Reformation," tells the story of a man known as Jimmy Valentine who is released from Jail. This story has an interesting turn when Jimmy knows Annabel Adams and due to this, decides he will stop being criminal and pursue Annabel's love.
In the excerpt, the sentence that best shows the theme "loves can change a person" is "Jimmy Valentine looked into her eyes, forgot what he was, and became another man" because, in this sentence, it is explained seeing the woman for the first time had a great impact on Jimmy and made him consider who he was "forgot what he was, and became another man" and even change his identity as he focuses on knowing more about Annabel rather than being a criminal.
1. In the poem 'Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy evening
Why do you think the speaker loves the woods ? How
do you think it seems in comparison to his life back
home?
Answer and Explanation:
"Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" is a poem by Robert Frost. The speaker is a man who stops to watch the woods as they fill up with the falling snow of a dark evening.
In the poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening " why do you think the speaker loves the woods ? How do you think it seems in comparison to his life back home?
The speaker seems to like the quiet, the peace and tranquility of the woods. No one else is around, besides his own horse. There is no one to watch him, to make noises, to disturb in any way this beautiful and peaceful spectacle of nature. His life back home must be just the opposite. He is probably constantly surrounded by people, constantly talking and listening. The agitation of traveling, doing business, dealing with others must be overwhelming sometimes. No wonder the scenery now makes him stop to contemplate:
[...]
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
[...]
Answer:
I think think the speaker loves the woods because it is peacful, his life back home must be filled with hard work and labor

Identify the complete adjective clause. Dad is the only one with whom you can discuss this plan. Dad is the only one the only one the only one with whom the only one with whom you can discuss this plan with whom with whom you can discuss with whom you can discuss this plan you can discuss this plan
Answer:
The answer is: with whom you can discuss this plan.
Explanation:
An adjectival or adjective clause is a group of related words that:
1. Contains a verb and a subject.
2. doesn't express a complete thought.
3. describe or modify a noun.
Adjectival clause can be identified most often because they begin with any of the following relative pronouns: who, whose, whom, that or which and sometimes a relative adverb like why, when and where.
In the sentence above, the complete adjectival clause is “with whom you can discuss this plan”. This is because on its own, it does not express a complete thought and it has a subject and a verb.
It's also important to note that though an adjectival clause is a group of words, it still function as an adjective. Meaning it still serves to describe or modify a noun and in this case, the adjectival clause is describing the noun “dad.”
Answer:
The answer is "with whom you can discuss this plan".

There is ever a song somewhere, my dear, In the midnight black, or the mid-day blue: The robin pipes when the sun is here, And the cricket chirrups the whole night through. The buds may blow, and the fruit may grow, And the autumn leaves drop crisp and sear; But whether the sun, or the rain, or the snow, There is ever a song somewhere, my dear.

All semester long Benjamin has sat in the second seat in the second row in his economics class. One day he enters class on time to discover Mateo sitting in this seat, which greatly upsets Benjamin. What type of nonverbal communication is Benjamin displaying? Group of answer choices
Answer:
The answer is territoriality.
Explanation:
Territoriality is an attempt to influence or enforce control over a given geographical location.
This behavior is observed in both humans and animals.
As regards the text above, territoriality is associated with nonverbal communication and it refers to people using space (territory) to communicate ownership or occupancy of areas and possessions.
Benjamin has been sitting in the second seat and he had begun to associate that seat as his.
This why when he walked in and saw someone else (Mateo) sitting on it, he became upset.
The behavior he exhibited was a mark of territoriality and was conveyed as a non verbal form of communication.
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".

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.

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World. By the 1800s, it was clear that the Age of Sugar—that combination of enslavement, factories, and global trade—was replacing the Age of Honey, when people ate local foods, lived on the land of their ancestors, and valued tradition over change. Sugar was the product of the slave and the addiction of the poor factory worker—the meeting place of the barbarism of overseers such as Thomas Thistlewood and the rigid new economy. And yet, for that very reason, sugar also became the lynchpin of the struggle for freedom. When we talk about Atlantic slavery, we must describe sugar Hell; and yet that is only part of the story. Africans were at the heart of this great change in the economy, indeed in the lives of people throughout the world. Africans were the true global citizens—adjusting to a new land, a new religion, even to other Africans they would never have met in their homelands. Their labor made the Age of Sugar—the Industrial Age—possible. We should not see the enslaved people simply as victims, but rather as actors—as the heralds of the interconnected world in which we all live today. And indeed, it was when the enslaved Africans began to speak—in words and in actions—when Europeans began to see them as human, that the Age of Sugar also became the Age of Freedom. Which text evidence best supports the authors' claim and purpose? "Sugar was the product of the slave and the addiction of the poor factory worker—the meeting place of the barbarism of overseers such as Thomas Thistlewood and the rigid new economy.” "When we talk about Atlantic slavery, we must describe sugar Hell; and yet that is only part of the story." "Africans were the true global citizens—adjusting to a new land, a new religion, even to other Africans they would never have met in their homelands." "And indeed, it was when the enslaved Africans began to speak—in words and in actions—when Europeans began to see them as human, that the Age of Sugar also became the Age of Freedom."
Answer:
The correct answer is D) "And indeed, it was when the enslaved Africans began to speak- in words and in actions- when Europeans began to see them as human, that the Age of Sugar also became the Age of Freedom."
The author wishes to explain how much Africans were involved in the making of sugar and how this industry's success led to much of the globalisation we know today even when it was at the expense of slaves and the old ways. Keeping this in mind, the phrase that best includes all of this is D).

Consider the following theme: “Writing is an outlet for the human desire to make things sound better than they actually are.” Is this theme universal? Why or why not?
Answer:
The theme is universal - we all want to make things sound better than they are. That's why when someone asks you "Does this dress make me look fat?" you always say no, even if it does. We want the world to sound better because if we really focused on how bad the world is then no one would want to live in it. But not all writing does make things sound better than they actually are. Some writing is really depressing and makes things sound as bad or worse than they are.
Explanation:
The theme that's illustrated regarding writing is universal.
What is a theme?It should be noted that a theme simply means the main idea that's in a literary work.

What Wollstonecraft sees as the rationale guiding the education of women in her society. What harm does she think results from this view of education?
Answer:
For Wollstonecraft, the justification that guides the education of women in their society is the desire of great educational and political theorists to leave women inferior and intellectually infantilized in relation to men. She believed that the biggest problem with this view was that it undermined the moral foundations of society and did not give equal rights and freedoms to all citizens.
Explanation:
Wollstonecraft grew up in a society where women were unmotivated and often forbidden to receive quality education. The politicians and great intellectuals of the time claimed the most diverse absurdities to justify the reason why women could not receive the same type of education as men. For Wollstonecraft, however, these justifications were used only to make women inferior to men and infantilized, unable to achieve full intellectual knowledge and reasoning and to make them dependent on men in all aspects of their lives.
Wollstonecraft believed that this was highly harmful to society, because in addition to wasting brilliant women who could cause improvements in all scientific, economic and social fields, it hurt the moral principles of society, did not provide equality and freedom to any and all citizens, on the contrary, it allowed a group of society, women, to become captive and totally dependent and inferior.
