Go, get thee to thy love, as was decreed, Ascend her chamber, hence and comfort her; 155 But look thou stay not till the watch be set, For then thou canst not pass to Mantua; Where thou shalt live, till we can find a time To blaze your marriage, reconcile your friends, Beg pardon of the prince, and call thee back 160 With twenty hundred thousand times more joy Than thou went’st forth in lamentation.

Which sentences in this excerpt from The Time Machine by H. G. Wells suggest that the Morlocks possess a degree of intelligence comparable to that of humans?Within was a small apartment, and on a raised place in the corner of this was the Time Machine. I had the small levers in my pocket. So here, after all my elaborate preparations for the siege of the White Sphinx, was a meek surrender. I threw my iron bar away, almost sorry not to use it.

A sudden thought came into my head as I stooped towards the portal. For once, at least, I grasped the mental operations of the Morlocks. Suppressing a strong inclination to laugh, I stepped through the bronze frame and up to the Time Machine. I was surprised to find it had been carefully oiled and cleaned. I have suspected since that the Morlocks had even partially taken it to pieces while trying in their dim way to grasp its purpose.

Now as I stood and examined it, finding a pleasure in the mere touch of the contrivance, the thing I had expected happened. The bronze panels suddenly slid up and struck the frame with a clang. I was in the dark—trapped. So the Morlocks thought. At that I chuckled gleefully.

I could already hear their murmuring laughter as they came towards me. Very calmly I tried to strike the match. I had only to fix on the levers and depart then like a ghost. But I had overlooked one little thing. The matches were of that abominable kind that light only on the box.

Answer:  For once, at least, I grasped the mental operations of the Morlocks and I was surprised to find it had been carefully oiled and cleaned.

Explanation: In the given excerpt from "The Time Machine" by H. G. Wells, we can see two sentences that suggest that the Morlocks possess a degree of intelligence comparable to that of humans, the first one is "For once, at least, I grasped the mental operations of the Morlocks" because it suggests that the Morlocks have the capacity to think and reason, and the second one is "I was surprised to find it had been carefully oiled and cleaned" because it conveys something common in humans (cleaning and oiling the machine).

Answer:

For once, at least, I grasped the mental operations of the Morlocks \

Explanation:

In “To Build a Fire,” the man succeeds in building a fire after having fallen into the water, only to have the fire doused by a load of snow that falls off the tree boughs above it. This is an example of _____.A.
falling action

B.
irony

C.
conflict

D.
imagery

Answers

The correct answer should be letter (D.) imagery.

Imagery is a type of literary device used to narrate events using descriptive words to engage visualization to the readers. It is an effective tool in literary works because it helps readers analyze the ideas presented by the writer in the most creative way possible.

Answer:

The correct option is letter B (IRONY).

Explanation:

In "To Build a Fire" by Jack London, the author uses many instances of irony (situational irony). When the man, after having fallen into the water, finally succeeds in getting the fire on, the snow falls from the tree over him and the fire. As a result, the fire dies.

However, this instance of situational irony helps the plot move because he has to start a new fire.  

“How could this have happened? What will you do? Oh, I am so worried for you,” Aunt Amrita said, her voice trembling as tears rolled down her cheeks. “Please, return the money and beg forgiveness. You don’t know what they are capable of. I don’t want you to get hurt. Please, just do as I say!” Through this passage, we learn that the aunt has a soft heart. Which of the following is true?This is an example of using a story map.
This is an example of theme.
This is an example of indirect characterization.
This is an example of telling through description.

Answers

Since we learn that the aunt has a soft heart, I will say that 'this is an example of indirect characterization', because we learn of her characteristics in an indirect way, that is, we are not directly told that she has a soft heart, we can infer that information from this passage.
