Answer: Under a sycamore tree

In this poem, the speaker is visiting Tintern Abbey, and he tells us that he has been here before. He is thinking of the times in which he visited the place as a child, and how he enjoyed it.

He tells us that he is admiring this view from underneath a sycamore tree in the following stanza:

The day is come when I again repose

Here, under this dark sycamore, and view

Which of the following was an inspiration for medieval romances? Scandinavian epics Greek mythology Arthurian legends Aesop’s fables NextReset

Answers

The Arthurian Legends was an inspiration for medieval romances.

Because of the values of chivalry. The knights had honor, were brave and always were the heroes.

Scandinavian epics were sagas of Viking voyages, that's not very romantic. A bunch of Vikings pillaging villages.

Greek Mythology was mostly battling monsters. Only one story was kinda romantic, the story of the Trojan War, only because it was all over Helen.

Aesop's fables were more of moral lessons.

Hope this helps.

The water cycle begins with evaporation and ends with precipitation.
The water cycle begins when water is evaporated into the atmosphere; it condenses and freezes, then falls as precipitation.
The water cycle is a process that begins with evaporation, moves into condensation, and ends with precipitation.

Answers

I'd say that the last thesis statement is the strongest.
The water cycle is a process that begins with evaporation, moves into condensation, and ends with precipitation.

The first thesis statement is the subject; it doesn't specify reasons why the water cycle is important.
The second thesis statement is weak; it doesn't state the purpose of your topic about the water cycle.
The third thesis statement is too broad; it has too many details that a thesis statement shouldn't have.

Answer:

I'd say that the last thesis statement is the strongest.

The water cycle is a process that begins with evaporation, moves into condensation, and ends with precipitation.

In chunk 4 for how does the relationship between Jing meis mother and auntie Lindo contribute to the conflict between jing mei and her mother in the story ?

Answers

Answer and explanation:

Jing-mei, her mother, and aunt Lindo are characters in Amy Tan's short story "Two Kinds". Jing-mei is a willful and intelligent child, but she is not happy with her mother's expectations of her. Jing-mei's mother wants her to become a child prodigy, a Chinese Shirley Temple or something of the kind. At the beginning, the daughter is a bit excited about the idea of receiving so much attention and being recognized for her talents. After a while, however, she gets bored from the hard work and impositions, and decides to disappoint her mother.

Aunt Lindo has a daughter similar in age to Jing-mei. When she comes to Jing-mei's house to visit, she is constantly complaining about her daughter. She says she's tired of having to clean all the trophies her daughter wins in chess competitions. That veiled bragging only fuels Jing-mei's mother's ambition even more. She becomes determined to prove that her own child is also a genius, tha she deserves more fame and attention than her friend's daughter. That attitude, of course, is not aligned with Jing-mei's. The relationship between her own mother and aunt Lindo becomes another source of nuisances and expectations for her future.

Oo is this the joy luck? I just read that at school! Anyways, they are both competitive, auntie Lindo is showing off, but jing meis mom is just making things up to make her jealous. Auntie lindo believes that she is good until the talent show

When would you prepare a response sheet?

Answers

You would prepare a response sheet during a peer review.

A response sheet is the feedback you get after a presentation or after a speech.

The purpose of the peer review system is to validate academic work, helps enhance the quality of exhibited research, and raise networking possibilities within research communities. Despite criticisms, peer review is the only accepted method for research validation and has continued successfully with minor changes for some 350 years.

I think usually when you are responding to a review for a peer. A response sheet is feedback or the things that you learned from a presentation so probably after a speech.

Read the following passage and answer the question that follows.The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hydeby Robert Louis StevensonPart 1Mr. Utterson the lawyer was a man of a rugged countenance, that was never lighted by a smile; cold, scanty and embarrassed in discourse; backward in sentiment; lean, long, dusty, dreary, and yet somehow lovable. At friendly meetings, and when the wine was to his taste, something eminently human beaconed from his eye; something indeed which never found its way into his talk, but which spoke not only in these silent symbols of the after-dinner face, but more often and loudly in the acts of his life. He was austere with himself; drank gin when he was alone, to mortify a taste for vintages; and though he enjoyed the theatre, had not crossed the doors of one for twenty years. But he had an approved tolerance for others; sometimes wondering, almost with envy, at the high pressure of spirits involved in their misdeeds; and in any extremity inclined to help rather than to reprove."I incline to, Cain's heresy*," he used to say. "I let my brother go to the devil in his quaintly 'own way.'" In this character, it was frequently his fortune to be the last reputable acquaintance and the last good influence in the lives of down-going men. And to such as these, so long as they came about his chambers, he never marked a shade of change in his demeanour.No doubt the feat was easy to Mr. Utterson; for he was undemonstrative at the best, and even his friendship seemed to be founded in a similar catholicity of good-nature. It is the mark of a modest man to accept his friendly circle ready-made from the hands of opportunity; and that was the lawyer's way. His friends were those of his own blood or those whom he had known the longest; his affections, like ivy, were the growth of time, they implied no aptness in the object. Hence, no doubt, the bond that united him to Mr. Richard Enfield, his distant kinsman, the well-known man about town. It was a nut to crack for many, what these two could see in each other, or what subject they could find in common. It was reported by those who encountered them in their Sunday walks, that they said nothing, looked singularly dull, and would hail with obvious relief the appearance of a friend. For all that, the two men put the greatest store by these excursions, counted them the chief jewel of each week, and not only set aside occasions of pleasure, but even resisted the calls of business, that they might enjoy them uninterrupted.*The biblical story of Cain and Abel is a story about two brothers who gave offerings to God. Abel’s offering was accepted by God, but Cain’s was not. Jealous, Cain killed his brother. When God asked Cain where Abel was, Cain said, “Am I my brother’s keeper?” By saying this, Cain implied that what his brother did was his own business. (Genesis 4:1-16)What may the mention of the Cain and Abel story in the quote in the second paragraph foreshadow?That Mr. Utterson will be involved in violenceThat Mr. Utterson and Mr. Enfield are actually brothersThat this will be a story about Mr. Utterson's sin and forgivenessThat Mr. Utterson and Mr. Enfield are two parts of a trinity of characters
