Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The correct answer is A: an opportunity for a close reading of the primary source. Explication de Texte is a French method of literary analysis that allows for limited reader response, similar to close reading in the English speaking literary tradition. The method includes an examination of the structure, style, imagery, and other aspects of a work. It was particularly advocated by Gustave Lanson.

Explication de Text's format is:

-A brief summary of the literal, not the figurative, content.

-Text's type, structure, and its tone.

-Poetic devices used in the text

-Conclusion

The problem is not that things are broken. The problem is that they are not repaired again. The white man has broken the tribe. And it is my belief that it cannot be repaired again. But the house that is broken, and the man that falls apart when the house is broken, these are the terrible things." Do you believe that the novel agrees with Msimangu's assessment of South Africa? Why or why not?

Answers

This passage comes from the novel Cry, the Beloved Country.

I believe that the novel agrees with the assessment that Msimangu makes of the situation in South Africa. In this passage, Msimangu states that the main problem of South Africa is that the disruption caused by Europeans severed the ties people had with their tribes. The consequence of this is that people have nothing left in their towns, which takes them to Johannesburg. Once in the city, they become morally corrupt. This is reflected in the themes that the book deals with. The book is concerned with the way in which tribal structures have been lost, and it suggests that this is one of the main causes of the problems the country is faced with.

Which one of the following words illustrates the addition of a vowel suffiixA. Tenderness
B. Likelihood
C. Careful
D. Dangerously

Answers

The answer on this item is not found in the choices. Why? Simply because vowel suffix is only added when the root word or the word has a silent e which has to be dropped. Here is the analysis: tenderness- root word: tender, -ness is added as a suffix, obviously it is a consonant suffix Likelihood- root word: likely, -hood was added (“y” from the word likely is changed to “i”) Careful- root word: care, -ful is added as a suffix. Although the word has a silent “e”, the silent “e” was not dropped but kept since you cannot spell “careful” as “carful”. Thus, this is consonant suffix. Consonant suffix are added to words with silent “e” but this silent "e” is not dropped but kept. Dangerously- root word: danger- -ous is added as suffix, another word to consider is dangerous, -ly was added as suffix which is definitely a consonant suffix. >>>Vowel suffix are added to words with silent “e”, before adding the suffix, “e” should be dropped. For instance: Bake- drop “e’ and add -ed Take- drop “e” and add -en Ride- drop “e” and add -ing. Hope this helps.:)

1. Choose the word or phrase that best defines the italicized word. “And by the moon the reaper weary,/Piling sheaves in uplands airy…”bales of cotton
bundles of grain
stacks of kindling
clusters of insects

Answers

The italicized word is SHEAVES.

The correct option is BUNDLES OF GRAINS.

In English language, literally, sheaves refers to an amount of stalks and ears of cereal plants that are bound together as a bundle. Cereal plants are usually packed in this manner after harvest. Sheaves generally refers to a bundle of things that are tied together.

The word or phrase that best defines the italicized word in "And by the moon the reaper weary, Piling sheaves in uplands airy" would be bundles of grain.

Answers

Answer:

The infinitive phrase in the sentence above is "to go on a field trip" (B).

An infinitive phrase is a group of words that uses an infinitive. An infinitive phrase is a verbal that can act as a noun, an adjective, or an adverb. They can include objects or modifiers that make the phrase more descriptive. In this case, the infitive phrase functions as an adjective because it modifies the noun "plan".
