Which three parts of this excerpt from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death" highlight the suggestion that the powerful and wealthy in the story are insensitive toward the outbreak of the disease and those who are suffering?

The "Red Death" had long devastated the country. No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous. Blood was its Avatar and its seal—the redness and the horror of blood. There were sharp pains, and sudden dizziness, and then profuse bleeding at the pores, with dissolution. (The scarlet stains upon the body and especially upon the face of the victim, were the pest ban which shut him out from the aid and from the sympathy of his fellow-men.) And the whole seizure, progress and termination of the disease, were the incidents of half an hour. (But the Prince Prospero was happy and dauntless and sagacious. When his dominions were half depopulated, he summoned to his presence a thousand hale and light-hearted friends from among the knights and dames of his court, and with these retired to the deep seclusion of one of his castellated abbeys.) This was an extensive and magnificent structure, the creation of the prince's own eccentric yet august taste. A strong and lofty wall girdled it in. (This wall had gates of iron. The courtiers, having entered, brought furnaces and massy hammers and welded the bolts.) They resolved to leave means neither of ingress nor egress to the sudden impulses of despair or of frenzy from within. The abbey was amply provisioned. With such precautions the courtiers might bid defiance to contagion. (The external world could take care of itself. In the meantime it was folly to grieve, or to think. The prince had provided all the appliances of pleasure.) There were buffoons, there were improvisatori, there were ballet-dancers, there were musicians, there was Beauty, there was wine. All these and security were within. Without was the "Red Death." (It was towards the close of the fifth or sixth month of his seclusion, and while the pestilence raged most furiously abroad, that the Prince Prospero entertained his thousand friends at a masked ball of the most unusual magnificence.)

The options are shown with a ( ) around them.

Answer 1

The parts of excerpt from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death" which highlight the suggestion that the powerful and wealthy in the story are insensitive toward the outbreak of the disease and those who are suffering are:

“But the Prince Prospero was happy and dauntless and sagacious.”  

“The external world could take care of itself. In the meantime it was folly to grieve, or to think.”

“The prince had provided all the appliances of pleasure.”

The story “The Masque of the Red Death" by Edgar Allan Poe is literally and allegorically about death. Prince Prospero wanted to hide from death but is left not rescued from it. He arranged a party where he invited people from his kingdom. He ordered to decorate the halls with single colors each. The last hall was colored black which symbolizes death and the windows were painted red. There was an ebony clock which strikes everyone’s attention at the passing of every hour. Though people were busy in the celebrating the party with music and orchestra but at every hour when the clock rings which caught everyone’s attention. The tone in which Poe describes the rooms, the clock, the ringing of the clock, the activities of the people and the entry of death in the party gives an insight about the play that death is inevitable. Death is the central theme of the play. The Poe wants to focus on the issue that no one can be rescued from death by applying any means.

Answers

Hello. You did not change the text and the word to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for me to answer your question exactly.

However, when it comes to a text, the meaning of words and even answers to possible questions, are best evaluated with the diction synthesis and the descriptive settings. This is because these two factors allow a better visualization of the text and a better interpretation of the author's objectives with the written text.

Therefore, we can consider internal thoughts, as the literary element that is not efficient in providing answers to the reader.

One of the most dreaded consequences of falling on your head is a brain injury. It can cause all sorts of difficulties such as memory loss, personality change, pain, loss of speech, and more. Becoming a different person is a big stress on family and friends. People may not recognize their loved ones or dislike and even hate them. The person hurt may not be able to do fun things. He or she may not be allowed to participate in certain activities. Although many people dislike the risk involved in riding motorcycles or scooters and don’t do it, there are still a lot of people that don’t mind it.  If they don’t wear helmets, they run the risks of injuries. Paying medical bills is a big problem for some people because bills are expensive. If people buy a helmet they can prevent an injury. This costs a lot less than having to pay for treating one’s brain.

Read the passage from Animal Farm.

All through that summer the work of the farm went like clockwork. The animals were happy as they had never conceived it possible to be. Every mouthful of food was an acute positive pleasure, now that it was truly their own food, produced by themselves and for themselves, not doled out to them by a grudging master. With the worthless parasitical human beings gone, there was more for everyone to eat.

Which detail best supports the central idea that the animals felt pride in growing and supplying their own food?

- “All through that summer the work of the farm went like clockwork.”
- “The animals were happy as they had never conceived it possible to be.”
- “Every mouthful of food was an acute positive pleasure, now that it was truly their own food.”
- “With the worthless parasitical human beings gone, there was more for everyone to eat.”

Answers

Answer: Every mouthful of food was an acute positive pleasure now that it was truly their own food

Explanation: It was a positive pleasure to them because the food they grown was theirs

The detail that supports the central idea is C. Every mouthful of food was an acute positive pleasure, now that it was truly their own food.

The central idea is simply the main idea that a text contains. It's the information that's depicted in a story. It entails the information that the author wants the readers to know.

From the passage given in the animal farm, the detail that supports the central idea that the animals felt pride in growing and supplying their own food is that every mouthful of food was an acute positive pleasure, now that it was truly their own food.

James Jay believed secret messages that became visible because of heat were pot secure James Jay's system required two chemicals for writing and reading Invisible ink messages.​

Answers

This question is missing the excerpt. I've found it online. It is the following:

James Jay's invisible ink did not become visible by heating. As he described it, his ink "would elude the generally known means of detection, and yet could be rendered visible by a suitable counterpart." Jay's invisible ink consisted of two chemicals. An agent used one chemical to write an invisible message. To read the message, the reader had to brush a second chemical on the paper; that chemical made the message visible. The two-bottle system, supplied by Jay, gave Washington the secure form of writing that he wanted.

Answer:

The statement which best expresses the central idea of the excerpt is:

B. James Jay's invisible ink system allowed Washington to write secret messages.

Explanation:

Options A and C have information that we can assume after reading the passage, but that is not explicit in it. Therefore, they cannot refer to the central idea. We can eliminate those options.

Option D mentions the two chemicals required for writing and reading the messages. Even though that piece of information is discussed in the excerpt, it serves more as an explanation of the central idea. In fact, the central idea itself is that Washington was able to write secret messages because of James Jay's invisible ink. That is what the passage is ultimately about. The author is merely explaining how that ink works when he mentions the chemicals. Thus, we can eliminate letter D and choose letter B as the correct option.

Answer: B. James Jay's invisible ink system allowed Washington to write secret messages.

Explanation:

Throughout human history, dreams have terrified, thrilled, and
inspired us. But what do they mean? What is their purpose? This essay will provide several explanations from various fields and raise a few questions about dreams that are yet to be answered.
2. What qualifies as a dream exactly? The term dream can refer to
our hopes about the future, as in, "One day I dream of visiting
Paris." Dreams can also refer to waking fantasies that we largely
have control over, such as daydreams. However, the scientific
field of oneirology is concerned with what happens when we
sleep. "For a dream to be a dream, it has to be an involuntary
experience that occurs during the Rapid Eye Movement, or REM,
stage of sleep," says neuropsychologist Martin Dyson. "All other
uses of the word dream fall outside the domain of science."
While all types of dreams are important, it is these nighttime
dreams that truly fascinate us.
3. In a typical night's rest, REM sleep is the stage that happens in
the final few hours before we wake up in the morning. In The Science of Dreams and the Dreams of Science, author Isabella
Greene explains that this stage of sleep is marked by brain
activity that is similar to the brain activity of people who are
awake (224). Sleepers have "experiences" during REM sleep, just
as waking people do. Some scientists think that during REM
sleep the brain clears out our short-term memory and commits
important experiences, such as getting a raise or breaking up
with our sweethearts, to long-term memory. But why we dream
during this process is still a mystery.
4. Some intriguing, though incomplete, ideas have come from
researchers trying to explain why our brains give us such vivid
and emotional experiences every night. Sigmund Freud believed
that dreams are expressions of memories and anxieties that we
avoid thinking about during our waking lives. Carl Jung provided
a modern version of the ancient opinion that dreams are
messages that help us figure out how to avoid disaster, almost
like prophecies. Perhaps the popularity of Jung's interpretation is
the reason that many people keep dream journals, wherein they write down their dream experiences before they forget them.
After all, if dreams are messages, one had better not ignore them.
5. But interpreting dreams seems to be a basic human desire, and
interpretations of dreams predate modern psychology by many
years. The ancient Sumerians, Chinese, and Indians believed that,
during dreams, the soul escapes from the body to wander in a spiritual realm. The ancient Greek physician, Hippocrates,
theorized that the soul creates its environment when one is asleep and receives its environment when one is awake. Given
that modern science has yet to explain dreams, any ancient interpretation is as good as a modern one for now. Perhaps one
day that won't be the case.
6. Until the truth behind dreams is finally revealed, people will continue to speculate about their purpose. And even if the role of dreams is finally articulated, dreams will continue to haunt us,
fascinate us, and move us. which is the best example of a description paragraph in the essay?

Answers

The conversation between Rainsford and Whitney contributed to the characterization of Rainford by showing how at the beginning he sees himself as a superior being towards animals and he doesn't give any importance to the pain or fear they might feel, an example of this is the phrase  “The world is made up of two classes — the hunters and the huntees. Luckily you and I are the hunters.”On the other hand, Whitney believes the opposite we can see through the story how Rainford changes his mind when he sees himself on the side and we can infer that when at the end he talks about how different does it feel to be the huntee.

These sentences are also examples of the gothic and suspenseful mood of the story showing us the complexity of the human psyche

Answers

Answer: I'd say the answer is they reinforce the idea that miki is overwhelmed by the wolves.

Explanation: It makes the most sense but i could be wrong

They reinforce the idea that Miki is overwhelmed by the wolves is best describes the impact of Miki's visions of his past. Hence, option D is correct.

What is meant by vision of the past?

Retrocognition, often referred to as postcognition or hindsight, derives from the Latin retro, which means "behind, behind," and cognition, which means "knowing," and describes "knowledge of a past occurrence which could not have been learnt or inferred by conventional means."

From its Latin roots, retrocognition, often known as "post-cognition," literally translates as "backward knowledge." It is the ability to telepathically learn information about a place's or a particular person's past in the context of the paranormal.

People can only take a glance at the past. We cannot see into the future, and when we do, it has already happened.

Thus, option D is correct.

Write an essay explaining the importance of making time for both work and play.



Be sure to-


•clearly state your thesis.


•organize and develop your ideas effectively.


•choose your words carefully.

Answers

Answer:

It is of high importance to balance work and play to have a healthy and balanced life. Both are important because they help us to grow, be happy, and they benefit from each other.

To have an income and survive, we have to work. As it is something that we have to do daily, we have to be sure that is something that we enjoy, and that help us grow, professionally and as humans beings. We could do not do our job well, if we do not take time off and come back with refresh energies and a clear mind that allow us to do better at work, here playing games or do activities that we enjoy are crucial.

As regards playing, it is vital to dedicate time to them because we not only can relax and enjoy a good time with friends or relatives but also we can improve our creativity or strategy skills that then we can apply at our jobs. Besides, playing is good for our health since it allows us to relax and move our body, which prevents mental and physical health problems.

In conclusion, we have to balance the time we dedicate to work and to play to have a balanced life where work and play benefit from each other and allow us to give the best of ourselves in every aspect of life.

Explanation:

his essay aims to explain why it is crucial to balance work and play. To do that, we have to start by introducing our thesis in the opening paragraph. Then, we develop in detail our statements to explain and give reasons for what we claim. Finally, in our last paragraph, we make a conclusion where we reaffirm what we have said in the developing of the essay.

The essay is based on time management and maintains a balance between work and play. Work is for professionalism but it can be accomplished with a fresh mind only and that is possible by playing. Playing keeps the body and mind healthy.

Time management is a must for every human being. It is very great importance to maintain a balance between work and playtime. Both are of equal importance because they both help in the growth and development of the human being.

Work is an activity that we do to survive and livelihood. It is something we do very properly and in a dedicated manner. This is something that makes us professionally perfect and brings us to the stage of self-esteem. The human being has some level of satisfaction hierarchy that comes in it after satisfying himself for the work he accomplishes or attains. To perform the everyday task it is important to come back with a refreshed mind daily. And that is possible only if work and play are maintained together.

Playing is important because it brings relaxation and joy to the life o human beings. It improves the creativity and also the strategic skills of humans. It prevents mental and physical problems and refreshen minds that bring some sort of positive energy to human beings and boost their stamina to work with all their efforts.

Therefore, it is a must and very important to maintain the time management between work and play to keep mind and body healthy and creative.
