An ant's head contains many sensory organs. Like most insects, ants have compound eyes made from numerous tiny lenses attached together. Ants look kind of creepy with their weird eyes.

A) An ant's head contains many sensory organs.
B) Ants look kind of creepy with their weird eyes.
C) Ant eyes are good for acute movement detection, but do not offer a high resolution image.

Answer:

Answer: B) Ants look kind of creepy with their weird eyes.  

Explanation: The tone of a text or sentence is the author's or speaker's attitude towards the audience, the subject or even the characters of the text. There are many different kinds of tones, like: positive, negative, objective, sad, angry, etc. In the given excerpt we can see an example of a formal tone, except on the phrase "Ants look kind of creepy with their weird eyes" which has an informal tone that is inconsistent with the rest of the passage.
Answer 2
Answer: B) Ants look creepy with their weird eyes. 
This sentence is out of place because although the rest of the passage is formal and informative, this one is informative and does not offer real fact about the ants.

How does Tolstoy set up Gerasim to be a foil to Praskovya Fedorovna in these two excerpts from The Death of Ivan Ilyich?Gerasim alone did not lie; everything showed that he alone understood the facts of the case and did not consider it necessary to disguise them, but simply felt sorry for his emaciated and enfeebled master. Once when Ivan Ilyich was sending him away he even said straight out: "We shall all of us die, so why should I grudge a little trouble?"—expressing the fact that he did not think his work burdensome, because he was doing it for a dying man and hoped someone would do the same for him when his time came. . . . When the examination was over the doctor looked at his watch, and then Praskovya Fedorovna announced to Ivan Ilyich that it was of course as he pleased, but she had sent today for a celebrated specialist who would examine him and have a consultation with Michael Danilovich (their regular doctor). "Please don't raise any objections. I am doing this for my own sake," she said ironically, letting it be felt that she was doing it all for his sake and only said this to leave him no right to refuse. He remained silent, knitting his brows. He felt that he was surrounded and involved in a mesh of falsity that it was hard to unravel anything. a)Both Gerasim and Praskovya Fedorovna are honest about their motives, but only Gerasim genuinely cares for Ivan Ilyich. b)While Gerasim is kind to Ivan Ilyich and offers him all the help he can, Praskovya Fedorovna is cruel to Ivan and torments him. c)Gerasim attends to Ivan Ilyich’s needs and gives him all his medicines, while Praskovya Fedorovna does not care and neglects his health. d)Both Gerasim and Praskovya Fedorovna want Ivan to beat his disease and survive, but only Gerasim cares about Ivan Ilyich’s happiness.

The answer to your question would be that the most important sentence in a paragraph is usually the first one.

Come back to tell you all, I shall tell you all"
What literary device is most clearly used in this passage?
A. Hyperbole
B. Allusion
C. Imagery
D. Rhyme

Answers

The correct answer and literary devicmost clearly used in the mentioned passage from T.S. Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" (1915) is B. Allusion.

As a literary device, allusion makes brief or indirect reference to a person, place, event or other significant element but it does not openly describe it. The reader must have the knowledge to catch and understand the allusion.

In this case, the poetic persona uses an allusion to reference the Biblical figure of Lazarus, whom Jesus Christ resurrected and brought back from the dead: "I am Lazarus, come from the dead."

Is "The thick sugary fluid is carefully separated from the malt husks, and it is called wort." A run on sentence?

Answers

A RUN-ON SENTENCE (sometimes called a "fused sentence") has at least two parts, either one of which can stand by itself (in other words, two independent clauses), but the two parts have been smooshed together instead of being properly connected. Review, also, the section which describes Things That Can Happen Between Two Independent Clauses.  

Here is an example  "I love to write papers I would write one every day if I had the time!" The run on sentence would be... "I love to write papers.  I would write one every day if I had the time!"
