In the poem “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe, the raven repeats the word nevermore in response to the speaker’s questions. What effect does this response have on the speaker? 1)The speaker feels less disturbed about the loss of Lenore. 2)The speaker’s mental state shifts more and more toward madness.
3)The speaker begins to get a sense of closure about losing Lenore.
4)The speaker goes into a trance and forgets about his pain over Lenore.

Answers

The correct answer is 2) The speaker’s mental state shifts more and more toward madness. 

This is because as the poem closes, the word nevermore occurs in more and more depressing situations because it is the only word the raven can say, and the poet asks him questions to which that can be the only answer. These questions become maddening and more depressing as time goes by.
If you haven't read "The Raven", here's some necessary information you need to know in order to answer this question.

As the speaker, or narrator, thinks about the situation, he starts to hallucinate about angels that appear and swing an “unseen censer.” They even start spreading perfume around the room. He connects the perfume to be something called Nepenthe. This is a mythical drink that works somewhat like an antidepressant. This causes him to cry aloud that nepenthe would help him forget about Lenore. The raven only replies "Nevermore" as it had always been replying before.

This proves that the correct answer should be option 2 )  the speaker's mental state shifts more and more toward madness.

Where should the parenthesis be placed? By the time he retired in 1991, he had won numerous all-star honors 12. By the time he retired in 1991, (he had won) numerous all-star honors 12. By the time (he retired) in 1991, he had won numerous all-star honors 12. By the time he retired in 1991, he had won numerous all-star honors (12). By the time he retired in 1991, he had won numerous (all-star honors 12).

Answers

The correct answer is D. By the time he retired in 1991, he had won numerous all-star honors (12)

Explanation:

Parentheses () is a punctuation mark mainly used to add information which usually clarifies some section of the sentence and works as an aside, which means the information that is added does not grammatically belong to the sentence but is somehow independent to it. Additionally to this, a parenthesis can include a word, number, a fragment or even multiple sentences that serve as a comment or clarification of the main sentence. Considering this in the case of the sentence "By the time he retired in 1991, he had won numerous all-star honors 12" the only information that serves as a clarification of the main sentence and does not belong to it grammatically is "12" that serves as a clarification of the number of all-star honours the man being described received, therefore number "12" should be in parentheses, which means the correct sentence is "By the time he retired in 1991, he had won numerous all-star honors (12)".
By the time he retired in 1991, he had won numerous all-star honors (12).

Answer:

C.) close family ties between cousins

Explanation:

The main theme of "The Two Offers" is the different ideas about women's roles. This is the work of Francis Ellen Watkins Harper, the first African American novelist that emphasizes on the discrimination of the woman about their roles at that time and how they can have a different perspective regarding these issue without discriminating them.
