Read the passage from "The Storyteller."
The children moved listlessly towards the aunt's end of
the carriage. Evidently her reputation as a storyteller did
not rank high in their estimation.
In a low, confidential voice, interrupted at frequent
intervals by loud, petulant questionings from her
listeners, she began an unenterprising and deplorably
uninteresting story about a little girl who was good, and
made friends with every one on account of her
goodness, and was finally saved from a mad bull by a
number of rescuers who admired her moral character.
"Wouldn't they have saved her if she hadn't been good?"
demanded the bigger of the small girls. It was exactly the
question that the bachelor had wanted to ask.
"Well, yes," admitted the aunt lamely, "but I don't think
they would have run quite so fast to her help if they had
not liked her so much."
Which statement best explains the situational irony that
occurs in the passage?
The aunt expects the children to laugh at the story,
but they do not
The children expect their aunt to tell a funny story, but
she does not
O The children do not like the story, even though it is
very interesting.
The aunt tells a story with a moral, but the children
ignore the lesson.

Answers

Answer:

The aunt expects the children to laugh at the story, but they don't.

Situational irony - the expected outcome fails and something else happens.  She is known to be a good teller of stories, but the kids do not laugh and she wonders if she really is a good storyteller or not.

Much to the chagrin of some Americans, conventional light bulbs were effectively banned in 2014 leaving only compact florescent lights (CFLs) on store shelves. The ban was encouraged, in part, by the makers of the more expensive CFLs. Which concept is best captured in this story?

Answers

Answer:

The correct  answer would be the "Concentrated benefits & Diffused costs".

Explanation:

Its concentrated companies benefit at such an expense which is very diffuse. Downstream sectors like manufacturing, cars, food, drinks, including electronics, are now facing increased expenses.  Yet the suffering of each particular enterprise is less than the concentrated advantages aluminum and steel manufacturers receive.

A security expert claims that exactly 19​% of all homeowners have a home security alarm. State Upper H 0 and Upper H Subscript a in words and in symbols. Then determine whether the hypothesis test for this claim is​ left-tailed, right-tailed, or​ two-tailed. Explain your reasoning.

Answers

Answer: Null hypothesis : [tex]H_0: p=0.19[/tex]

Alternative hypothesis : [tex]H_a: p\neq0.19[/tex]

The test is two-tailed test.

Explanation:

A null hypothesis [tex](H_0)[/tex] is defined as

hypothesis that proposes that there is no difference between particular characteristics of a population.It takes ' = ', ' ≤' , '≥'

Alternative hypothesis [tex](H_a)[/tex] is defined as

hypothesis that proposes that there is a significant difference between particular characteristics of a population.It takes ' ≠ ', ' <' , '>'

If alternative hypothesis is two tailed then we apply two tail test and  if alternative hypothesis is left tailed/ right tailed then we apply two left -tailed / right tailed test respectively.

Let p be the proportion of all homeowners have a home security alarm.

As per given, A security expert claims that exactly 19​% of all homeowners have a home security alarm.

i.e.  Null hypothesis : [tex]H_0: p=0.19[/tex]

Alternative hypothesis : [tex]H_a: p\neq0.19[/tex]

Here , the alternative hypothesis is two-tailed.

Therefore, the test is two-tailed test.

In "Fireside Chat #19," which other country does Roosevelt say must also be
defeated in order for the American way of life to be safe?
A. China
B. Germany
C. Norway
D. Russia

Answers

Answer:

B. Germany.

Explanation:

The "Fireside Chats" as they are termed, are the numerous 'declarations/ announcements' of then-president Franklin D. Roosevelt broadcasted all over the nation. This broadcast contains the president addressing the American people's fears and concerns regarding their national security during the days leading up to the Second World War.

"Fireside Chat #19" is a declaration of war against Japan after the attack on the American soil. This declaration of war against Japan has been a grave act of breaking peace terms and thus, now officially a war. But Roosevelt continued to state that with this war against Japan, it must be remembered that Germany has been behind all these attacks for it has promised Japan a share of the spoils of war. "Germany has been telling Japan that if Japan did not attack the United States, Japan would not share in dividing the spoils with Germany when peace came. She was promised by Germany that if she came in she would receive the complete and perpetual control of the whole of the Pacific area -- and that means not only the Ear East, but also all of the Islands in the Pacific, and also a stranglehold on the west coast of North, Central and South America", he commented. This is why along with the need to attack Japan, America also needs to defeat Germany for life to be safe in American soil.

the pearl book how does the town react to Kino's Good Fortune​

Answers

Answer:

The whole town reacted with such fervor which the author states was like a "nerve . . . pulsing and vibrating with the news".

Explanation:

John Steinbeck's "The Pearl" revolves around the character Kino, a pearl diver who discovered a pearl and thus, began his change of fortune from being super poor to becoming rich. The story is more of a parable that deals with the greed of man and the evils in society that only leads to more discrimination.

Kino and his wife Juana were living in dire poverty. Once when a scorpion stung their baby Coyotito, the doctor refused to treat him because they had no money to pay him for his services. In frustration, Kino went diving for oysters while his wife applied seaweed on their son's swollen shoulder. Kino found a huge pearl which he dubbed "the Pearl of the World". From then on, numerous misfortunes happened to them, thieves tried to break in and steal their pearl, traders tried to cheat them out of it. The whole neighborhood was abuzz with the enormous discovery, the whole town was "pulsing and vibrating with the news", everyone trying to associate themselves with Kino, including the doctor who refused to treat them earlier.

In the line I stole the king's diamond, what word should the actor stress to create the interpretation that he/she is proud of this action? A.) Stole B.) Diamond C.) King's D.) I

Answers

Answer:

D.) I.

Explanation:

Acting is a form of recreating a specific emotion, scene, or occurrence so that there is no difference in the reality and the acted version. This is a performance skill that enables a lot of actors and performers to be able to showcase their talent out in the world.

In the line "I stole the King's diamond", the main focus is on the stolen diamond. But if the actor is to stress a word in such a way that he/ she is proud of his/her great achievement, the stress should be on the word "I". That is because, if the "I" is stressed, then the focus is on the individual, the actor "I", who dared to steal from the king. The stressed "I" gives an impression of the person doing the great deed.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
