“How magnificent the war is!

How eager and efficient!

Early in the morning

it wakes up the sirens

and dispatches ambulances

to various places

swings corpses through the air

rolls stretchers to the wounded

summons rain from the eyes of mothers.

It produces the most questions

in the minds of children

and urges families to emigrate.”

CORRECT ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST

Read the passage below from “Marigolds” and answer question.

Miss Lottie’s house was the most ramshackle of all our ramshackle homes. The sun and rain had long since faded its rickety frame siding from white to a sullen gray. The boards themselves seemed to remain upright not from being nailed together but rather from leaning together, like a house that a child might have constructed from cards. A brisk wind might have blown it down, and the fact that it was still standing implied a kind of enchantment that was stronger than the elements. There it stood and as far as I know is standing yet—a gray, rotting thing with no porch, no shutters, no steps, set on a cramped lot with no grass, not even any weeds—a monument to decay.

Which quote from the passage above provide clues to the meaning of the word ramshackle?

“…from white to sullen gray.”
“There it stood and as far as I know is standing yet -”
“…like a house that a child might have constructed from cards.”
“…on a cramped lot with no grass, not even any weeds –“

counterclaim?
O A. Some argue that restricting outside traffic will hurt Easton
financially, but a study conducted by our chamber of commerce
shows nonresidents contribute only 3 to 5 percent to our
economy.
OB. The second reason we should restrict nonresident drivers is that it
will go a long way in cutting back the noise pollution that has
become a major issue for Easton's children and elderly.
O c. Studies by the Hammond Institute for Environmental Studies show
that reducing traffic on Easton's major streets by 50 percent will
likely improve air quality by 70 to 80 percent.
O D. Because it will help reduce traffic, air pollution, and noise pollution
in our town, Easton should limit the amount of nonresidents that
can drive in or through our city.

A DIARY ENTRY ON THE MOST INTERESTING THING THAT HAPPENED

Read the passage from Animal Farm.

As Clover looked down the hillside her eyes filled with tears. If she could have spoken her thoughts, it would have been to say that this was not what they had aimed at when they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race. These scenes of terror and slaughter were not what they had looked forward to on that night when old Major first stirred them to rebellion. If she herself had had any picture of the future, it had been of a society of animals set free from hunger and the whip, all equal, each working according to his capacity, the strong protecting the weak, as she had protected the lost brood of ducklings with her foreleg on the night of Major's speech. Instead—she did not know why—they had come to a time when no one dared speak his mind, when fierce, growling dogs roamed everywhere, and when you had to watch your comrades torn to pieces after confessing to shocking crimes. There was no thought of rebellion or disobedience in her mind. She knew that, even as things were, they were far better off than they had been in the days of Jones, and that before all else it was needful to prevent the return of the human beings. Whatever happened she would remain faithful, work hard, carry out the orders that were given to her, and accept the leadership of Napoleon.

Which details best support the theme that oppression can make alternatives seem impossible? Select two options.

“This was not what they had aimed at when they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race.”

“. . . they were far better off than they had been in the days of Jones, and that before all else it was needful to prevent the return of the human beings.”
“She would remain faithful, work hard, carry out the orders that were given to her, and accept the leadership of Napoleon.”

PLEASE HELP!!!
My father always thought of fishing as a bonding ritual. His father had taught him fishing at a young age of six. The two of them would go off to a serene lake on a Sunday afternoon and return home empty-handed. They did not want to kill the fish as my father told me when I reached the age of incessant questioning. "That was not the point of fishing," he had explained.
One morning, it was determined that I had taken enough swimming lessons to be able to rescue both my father and myself in the case of an emergency, and I was allowed to go fishing with my father. I wanted to pick out special clothes, but my father said I looked fine in my khakis and polo shirt. He did give me a beige visor—a bit too big for my face—to guard against the sun. That morning, he drove me in the sedan while my little brother and sister stayed home with Mom.
Father spoke to me in his soothing baritone voice during the drive. "To think about nothing is important once in a while," he said. "You will know when you grow up."
But I had thought fishing was my transition into adulthood. My hurried wish to grow up had pushed me into optimism at the age of eleven. As if my father could read my thoughts he said, "You are almost there, my boy."
We took the scenic route to the lake. We passed the woods, the rolling hills, and approached the much talked about lake. There was sunlight—thrown in silver sprinkles on the water. I helped my father unload the fishing rods and the cooler into the boat. We met the center of the river in silence. I suspended my fishing rod in the air feeling overwhelmed and satisfied by the beauty all around me. I had understood why my father did not bring the fish home.
