Pregnancy occurs when the spermatozoa from the male meet with the egg of a female in the fallopian tube, during sexual intercourse and fertilize it, which in turn becomes a zygote and form a baby.
So, physical abstinence totally eliminates the risk of pregnancy.
Answer:
A. Eliminates risk of pregnancy
Explanation:
It's pretty obvious that if you stop doing sexual activity then a benefit from abstinence is not getting pregnant, pretty self explanatory!!

Why does Lincoln conclude with an appeal to both pathos and ethos? Check all that apply.
to emphasize citizens’ responsibilities
to stir listeners’ emotions
to cite important legal documents
to offer hope for the future
to recommend a military surrender
Answer:
Lincoln concludes with an appeal to both pathos and ethos to:
to emphasize citizens’ responsibilities
to stir listeners’ emotion
to offer hope for the future
Explanation:
As we know, pathos is an appeal to emotion, while ethos is an appeal to ethics. Both are rhetorical devices used by speakers to convince their audiences of an idea. In this case, Lincoln's purpose was to appeal to people's sense of duty as well as their empathy. He wants his audience to remember they still have responsibilities ahead of them, important ones. They are to care for the families of fallen soldiers, and they must also keep on fighting to make sure those soldiers' deaths were not in vain. He also wants him audience to remain hopeful about the future, evoking the image of a lasting peace, which is the most desired thing in times of war.

A. to emphasize citizens’ responsibilities
B. to stir listeners’ emotions
D. to offer hope for the future

Which of the following symbols is critical to the theme of heritage in “Everyday Use?” 1)Wangero’s sunglasses. 2)The churn top. 3)Maggie’s burns. 4)The TV show.
Answer:
2). The churn top
Explanation:
Symbols are demonstrated as the commonly employed literary devices in which the author employs an object, idea, action, person, place, etc. as symbols that convey a deeper meaning. It allows the author to add depth and emotion in the work by attaching additional and implicit meaning to these symbols.
In the text 'Everyday Use', the 'butter churn top' is crucial to its theme as it reminds the narrator(Mama Johnson) of her family tradition of making butter by hand and having its top. This sense of belonging attached to the churn top helps in developing the theme of heritage and tradition in the text which is the most significant aspect that is being highlighted. Thus, option 2 is the correct answer.

Explanation:
While Ulysses shows himself active and eager in every way to be going home from Calypso’s island, discuss, in no less than seventy-five words, why he shows himself more mature and growing in character in his dealings with Nausicaa and her servant girls than he does when he’s battling Neptune’s storm.
Ulysses went through many experiences before meeting Nausicaa and his servants. These experiences showed him that not everything is resolved on the basis of force, but many things are resolved in a less radical way, especially when you are in a strange territory, alone and without allies.
The moment when Ulysses faces the Neptune storm is a moment when he is proud, proud and arrogant for being a great and victorious warrior. At that moment Ulysses is immature and this provokes the wrath of the gods. However, when he encounters Nausicaa, that arrogance is no longer so evident, due to all the difficulties he faced along the way and which became much more difficult due to his immature behavior. That is why at that moment, Ulysses decides to act cautiously, which shows a great maturation of the character. This caution is the result of the unpredictability of the region and of the events, which Ulysses has learned to respect.
I ONLY HAVE TODAY TO ANSWER THIS Which TWO parts of this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich reflect the author’s opinion that the members of the rising middle class can never throw off their emotional masks?
.
At certain moments after prolonged suffering he wished most of all (though he would have been ashamed to confess it) for someone to pity him as a sick child is pitied
.
He longed to be petted and comforted
.
He knew he was an important functionary, that he had a beard turning grey, and that therefore what he longed for was impossible.
.
his colleague Shebek would come, and instead of weeping and being petted, Ivan Ilyich would assume a serious, severe, and profound air, and by force of habit would express his opinion on a decision of the Court of Cassation and would stubbornly insist on that view.
.
Whether it was morning or evening, Friday or Sunday, made no difference, it was all just the same: the gnawing, unmitigated, agonizing pain, never ceasing for an instant, the consciousness of life inexorably waning but not yet extinguished, the approach of that ever dreaded and hateful Death which was the only reality,

Select the correct answer. Read this excerpt from President John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address on January 20, 1961: In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility—I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it—and the glow from that fire can truly light the world. And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man. Based on the author’s use of language, what is the purpose of this speech? A. to motivate people everywhere to uphold the freedom of humankind B. to motivate Americans to strive for the development of their nation C. to cultivate a sense of diversity among the American people D. to foster a feeling of happiness and unity across people and nations
Answer:
B. to motivate Americans to strive for the development of their nation
Explanation:
The correct option is B. The purpose of this speech is to motivate Americans to strive for the development of their nation.
Most presidents use their first address to the nation to outline their vision for the country and their objectives. In his inaugural address, President John F. Kennedy declared in 1961 that "we shall bear any burden, endure any hardship, support any friend, and confront any adversary to insure the survival and success of liberty."
What was the tone of Kennedy's inaugural address?The American citizens and anyone else who required confidence that their nation had not been totally destroyed during the Cold War were the target audience for the Inaugural Address. He tried to indicate hope and aspirations for the country throughout the speech by using a very optimistic tone.
"My fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country," he said in his brief, fourteen-minute inaugural address, is the one statement that stands out the most. This appeal to civic service struck a chord with the "new generation of Americans—born in this century, tempered by war," as Kennedy put it.
Thus, the purpose of this speech is to motivate Americans to strive for the development of their nation. In his inaugural address, President John F. Kennedy declared in 1961.

I’m a story about gladiators, which character is most clearly round? A. Camilla, the stranger from Gaul who is trying to make a new life in Rome B. Flavius, the uncaring emperor who eats grapes and bullies his subjects C. Cecilia, the fierce animal tamer who delights in unleashing the lions D. Lucius, the gladiator who lives for bloodshed and wants nothing but glory
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
A round character is one that we have a lot of detail on. A flat character is one that we do not know much about (things like backstory, feelings, etc.)
Usually the round character is the main character. Out of these answer options, Camilla looks like the main character because stories usually aren't focused on villains (B and D) and Cecilia seems like more of a side character, so I believe Camilla is the main character.
She also seems the most round because it says that she is from Gaul and she wants to make a new life in Rome. We already have much more backstory to her than the others, so the the round character is A. Camilla, the stranger from Gaul who is trying to make a new life in Rome.
Have a wonderful day! :D

Answer:
Critical Response Essay -
“A Sound of Thunder”
“Nethergrave”
"A Sound of Thunder" and "Nethergrave" theses two stories are two different but alike novellas. They are both science fiction and they are included with lots of adventure. These novellas are both good works of writing. Although I like both novellas I like "A Sound of Thunder" because it is more of a book that gets the point across to people and explains more about itself. Overall, A Sound of Thunder is a better example of writing and was more interesting.
The Nethergrave's plot is different from A Sound of Thunder for it is not as tragic and changing as A Sound of Thunder. The kid in here was lying to be cool to his friends and he was more interested in the Nethermagus. This was a big story plot in this novel because it was a big decision for him to stay with the Nethergrave forever. This story gives traits of science fiction for its technology, changing places, and the different powers that are demonstrated.
In A Sound of Thunder was about Eckel, travels from 2055 to 85 million years set back. They get in trouble, but hope to make it back to 2055 alive. When they were time traveling, bad things started to happen to their year 2055. Things were not the same. They were worse, This is an example of science fiction because of the plot, and the setting of the writing. They all include traits of science fiction. This time and setting of the story was involving unrealistic traits and unreal things in the story such as creatures and objects.
Although these stories have totally different plots, good parts such as strengths, and bad things in the story such as weaknesses. These books could both be compared and contrasted. These two novels show how technology can be very dangerous no matter what type of technology it might be. Yes, they might be science fiction stories but they can be compared to the future like today. This is because technology is getting more and more advanced everyday."Nethergrave" was more of a story to show you that when life gets hard don't jump to the first decision you see to make a bad decision that you will regret later in life. While "A Sound of Thunder" was more of a story that had a better plot and more characteristics that could be explained by the characters in the story.
While both stories were really well written, "A Sound of Thunder" is a more put-to-the point story and written a lot better than "Nethergrave". They are both about technology and really defined, but the story's and characters had two different mindsets. As supposed to them both are a reflection on how things can have such a big impact on your life even if it doesn't seem like it would. Things are always changing around us.
