Who is the first to see the dead parachutist

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Samneric (the twins Sam and Eric).

Explanation:

William Golding's "Lord of the Flies" revolves around a group of boys stranded on a deserted island and the struggle to be the leader. The novel explores the themes of human nature, the dark side of it, the loss of innocence, civilization, man's greed, and evil nature, etc.

The dead parachutist was first spotted by the twins, Sam and Eric while they were tending the signal fire. The author writes,

the figure sat, its helmeted head between its knees, held by a complication of lines. When the breeze blew, the lines would strain taut and some accident of this pull lifted the head and chest upright so that the figure seemed to peer across the brow of the mountain. Then, each time the wind dropped, the lines would slacken, and the figure bow forward again, sinking its head between its knees. So as the stars moved across the sky, the figure sat on the mountain-top and bowed and sank and bowed again.

It was this "dark figure" that Sam and Eric saw and assumed it to be "the beast".

Based on the meaning of the prefix mis-, meaning "not", what can you conclude is the definition of the underlined word in the following sentence?

She mistrusted the report she read on the Internet.

a did not trust
b trusted too much
c wanted to trust
d trusted with good reason

Answers

Answer:

As mis- means "not", "mistrusted" means "not trusted", which is A.

Answer: The answer would be A) did not trust.

Explanation: The reason for this is if you break up the word into "mis- " and "trusted" you know from the question that the prefix mis- means "not". Therefore if you add the prefix mis- to the word "trusted" it would mean that something is not trusted.

Write a descriptive essay about my best subject​

Answers

Answer:

Most would say, your best subject is probably one you excel at. I, on the other hand, believe that the best subject is one that interests you and you don't need an incentive of a good grade to start the initiative. Therefore, my favorite subject is history. Although many would say it's boring and you don't need it, I find it interesting how people back then lived their day to day lives. In conclusion, history, in my opinion, is my best subject.

Explanation:

Don't worry I did this in my own words ;) also I don't really like history.

I admit that I could be too young to own a parrot but I believe our family would benefit from owning one. Most parrots exhibit traits that would persuade you to wanting to keep it. Parrots are talkative, friendly, and intelligent. In my opinion that is a perfect pet for our family, but if my parents prohibit me from getting one then we’ll never know.

However, we in the audience know that Juliet is not really dead, she merely took a potion to make it look like she was dead for her own motives. When the audience of a story knows more than the characters involved, what type of irony is employed

Answers

Answer:

When the audience of a story knows more than the characters involved, the type of irony employed is dramatic irony.

Explanation:

Dramatic irony is commonly used in books and even in movies. The audience has information that the characters do not have, which creates tension and suspense in some cases and, in others, allows the audience to predict the outcome.

What happens in Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" is probably one of the most famous examples of dramatic irony. The tragedy that takes place at the end of the story is precisely due to the information Romeo does not have. The audience knows Juliet is alive, but Romeo thinks she is dead, which makes him kill himself. The audience most likely feels sad and frustrated, after all, had Romeo known what they know, things could have turned out differently.

what does Juliet promise her mother in act 1 scene 3? Romeo and Juliet

Answers

That she will not go after Romeo

Juliet promises her mother that she will consider Paris as a potential suitor and will keep an open mind about him.

In Act 1, Scene 3 of William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," Juliet promises her mother, Lady Capulet, that she will consider Paris as a potential suitor. Lady Capulet discusses the idea of marriage to Paris with Juliet, and while Juliet is respectful and willing to entertain the idea, she does not display overt enthusiasm. Her promise to consider Paris demonstrates her dutiful nature as a daughter in a society where arranged marriages were common.

However, as the play unfolds, we witness Juliet's true feelings emerge as she falls deeply in love with Romeo, a member of the rival Montague family. The promise she made to her mother sets the stage for the ensuing conflict between her family's expectations and her own desires in the tragic tale of love and fate.

D) Thrifty

Explanation:

Because right afterwards she says not as cheap as her mom, main word there is cheap. Then, in the following sentence it says her mom hasn’t bought a new pair of shoes I’m 20 years. That wouldn’t imply intelligent, unclean nor thoughtless.

However it is not doubted, that this invention may be capable of great improvement. Which excerpt from the passage is the best example of understatement

Answers

Answer: they found the charge and trouble very great, and they had little or no crop

Explanation:

An understatement is when a situation is represented lesser than what it actually is. This is done in order to be polite or for an ironic effect.

The oassge simply tells us about how the plowing process was done. In this case, it was expected to be successful but in the end it wasn't which can be seen in the lines that "they found the charge and trouble very great, and they had little or no crop".

It was a disaster and it was an understatement as the severity of the situation wasn't really explained as it was lessened.
