Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

C. He drank more than usual

Explanation:

This question refers to Roald Dahl's short story "Lamb to the Slaughter".

Mary Maloney is waiting for ger husband Patrick to arrive home from work. She is sewing and seems quite happy and enjoys that everyday routine of welcoming Patrick every day at the same time.

She takes his coat, makes him a drink and patiently waits for him to finish his drink for the conversation to slowly start:

"She loved the intent...and especially the way he remained silent about his tiredness, sitting still with himself until the whiskey had taken some of it away."

The first signal that something is unusual was Patrick's quick pouring of his drink and wish to get another:

"And as he spoke, he did an unusual thing. He lifted his glass and drained it in one swallow although there was still half of it"

Final confirmation that something indeed was going on was his insisting on her sitting down as he had to tell her something important.

How does Alexander Hamilton’s letter to John jay both confirm and complicate our understanding of Hamilton as he is portrayed in the musical?

Answers

Answer:

Hamilton's letter to John Jay was an appeal to use the blacks as soldiers in exchange for their freedom. This paints a good and positive picture of him.

1. It confirms our understanding of Hamilton for it reveals that he was a great contributor to the affairs leading to the founding of America as detailed in the musical.

2. It complicates our understanding of him because the musical showed that the later part of his life was marked with accusations and controversies such as adultery.

Explanation:

The musical titled Hamilton by Lin-Manuel Miranda details the life of Alexander Hamilton which began on a rough note financially and given the fact that he was an orphan. He was described as an active politician who rose to prominence very fast and who married Elizabeth one of the daughters of the wealthy Schuylers.

His letter to John Jay presented him as an Abolitionist for he viewed the blacks quite differently as he believed that they could be useful in battle. His later life from Act II of the musical revealed some controversies in his life such as his affair with a married woman (Maria Reynolds). This might complicate our understanding of him when we compare his character in the musical to the one reflected in the letter to John Jay.

The road to the mountains was a ribbon of moonlight. a personification

b metaphor

c simile

d onomatopoeia​

Answers

Answer: B) Metaphor

Explanation: A metaphor can be simply defined as a figure of speech that compares actions or words that are not literally related but might share similar characteristics. It gives a hidden meaning or representation.

"The road to the mountains was a ribbon of moonlight",

The "road" and the "ribbons of moonlight" are literally unrelated because roads are neither ribbons nor ribbons of moonlight.

"Ribbons of moonlight" is only meant to give a hidden meaning or representation of the characteristic or nature of the road to the mountains.

So "Ribbons of moonlight" is a metaphor.
