Answer:
He saw the superiority of the African continent and a chance for Belgium to dominate world trade.
Explanation:
The Congo became part of Belgium's attempt to be a dominant country in Europe, and luckily, in the world. Acquired the Congo in 1884, Leopold had amassed a huge personal fortune from the exploitation of Congo's natural resources - at first thanks to the export of ivory, but it did not yield as much as expected. As global demand for rubber exploded, attention turned to the labor-intensive gathering of rubber from plant sap. This process of exploration was followed by violent practices with the natives, with extensive use of beatings, killings, and mutilations when production quotas were not

Dear companion of our youth when we were immortal 1
and our happy shouts swung up through the gumtrees,
when we raced go-carts in order to destroy our knees,
when there were always eight of us at home for tea
and eight of us learning to count and read 5
and eight of us crammed into the Fiat for Mass
and eight of us slashing through the long dry grass
and four of you dive-bombing four of us
and all of us playing ‘Red rover, red rover, come over!’
Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
Stanza one is one long sentence and contains many instances of enjambment. What is the effect of this on the rhythm? How does this contribute to the meaning of the poem?
Dear companion of our youth when we were immortal 1
and our happy shouts swung up through the gumtrees,
when we raced go-carts in order to destroy our knees,
when there were always eight of us at home for tea
and eight of us learning to count and read 5
and eight of us crammed into the Fiat for Mass
and eight of us slashing through the long dry grass
and four of you dive-bombing four of us
and all of us playing ‘Red rover, red rover, come over!’
Answer:
Enjambment slows down the pace as if it were being interrupted and paused briefly. This contributes to the meaning of the poem because it emphasizes the most important terms within the poem, constructing the phrases in such a way that these terms stand out.
Explanation:
The verse of the poem, shown above, presents several enjambement, which is a literary resource, widely used in poetry, which aims to end a verse of the poem in disagreement with the syntax that that verse should have, that is, the verse ends in disagreement with what the grammar establishes for the construction of the sentence. When a poet does this, it means that he is trying to highlight terms that would not be highlighted with grammatically correct writing.
In the poem above, we can see an example of this in the verses "Dear companion of our youth when we were immortal / and our happy shouts swung up through the gumtrees" where the author makes two lines of a sentence that should be a single line. The author did this to highlight the "happy shouts" that would not be highlighted if written with the correct syntax.

If the author changed the word dreadful to long in this sentence, how would the tone be altered?
Hundreds, after a dreadful fight for air, became unconscious and died where they lay.
A. The author's tone would be more difficult to identify.
B. The author's tone would become one of horror and disgust.
C. The author's tone would be less sympathetic, more detached.
Answer:
The answer is C)
Explanation:
I got it right on my test.
If the author changed the word dreadful to long in this sentence, the tone is altered as the author's tone would be less sympathetic, and more detached. Therefore option C is the correct response.
What is unconscious?The mental processes that happen spontaneously, are not accessible to introspection and include thoughts, memories, interests, and motives that make up the unconscious mind.
The unconscious is full of important and distressing information that we need to hide from awareness since it would be too dangerous to fully accept them. The unconscious mind serves as a storage region, a "cauldron" of instinctive desires and impulses that the preconscious area channels and suppresses.
Repressed emotions, obscured memories, routines, ideas, desires, and reactions can all be found in the unconscious. The unconscious mind is a vast reservoir that contains memories and feelings that are too unpleasant, humiliating, shameful, or disturbing to face consciously.

"The bicycle," she wrote, "will inspire women with more courage, self-respect and self-reliance and make the next
generation more vigorous of mind and of body."
In August 1895, a cyclist named Ann Strong caused a stir when she compared the value of a bicycle to that of a
husband in the Minneapolis Tribune.
Politicians, soldiers, business leaders, and even the leading athletes in the new sports of baseball and football
were all men.
Now the bicycle brought a taste of independence to women on a very personal level, and some of them took the
opportunity to express their discontent with old traditions and expectations.

D) Now the bicycle brought a taste of independence to women on a very personal level, and some of them took the opportunity to express their discontent with old traditions and expectations.
Explanation:
All of these mention values and attributes. The first one states multiply attributes that women are gaining that have never really been looked for in a woman before.
The second one states that "Ann Strong caused a stir when she compared the value of a bicycle to that of a husband". It caused a stir because women usually are supposed to be quiet, and not have opinions, and that was changing.
The fourth one states that the bicycle has brought independence that women never had before. Like the second option, because of this freedom, they start expressing their own opinions.

The bee's wool beetle is an inappropriately named insect. It has no direct, lasting connection with bees. It eats larvae and dead insects
does attack other insects but not bees. The bee's wool has been observed resting on flowers, but it does not sip nectar. It most likely uses this
position to hunt for other insects who might be drawn to the plant.
What is the main idea of this paragraph?
01. Nature can be very harsh.
2. Insects often eat other insects.
3. The bee's wool has a misleading name.
4. Insects are often attracted to flowers.
The correct answer is 3. The bee's wool has a misleading name.
Explanation:
The paragraph about bee's wool beetles focuses on explaining why the name of this insect is not appropriate. This is supported through details such as "It has no direct, lasting connection with bees" or "t does not sip nectar" because these details explain this insect is not related to bees or even similar to these. In this context, the main idea or message of this paragraph is to explain how the name of the insect is misleading, and to do this, the author adds very precise reasons or evidence.

Explanation:
Take, for instance, the description of "an American" friend who has provided the speaker with information about preparing humans for consumption. This gives us a general idea, though within a comical context, of the reputation "Americans" still had in the early eighteenth century for being uncivilized, veritable "savages." But it's hyperbolic.
