Based on this excerpt, what can be inferred about Oliver’s neighbors?

Answers

I have found the excerpt and the choices from another source. I will paste them below:

They laughed at his wild excess of speech, of feeling, and of gesture. They were silent before the maniac fury of his sprees, which occurred almost punctually every two months, and lasted two or three days. They picked him foul and witless from the cobbles, and brought him home . . . . And always they handled him with tender care, feeling something strange and proud and glorious lost in [him]. . . . He was a stranger to them: no one—not even Eliza—ever called him by his first name. He was—and remained thereafter—"Mister" Gant. . . .

A. They spread gossip about his unusual conduct.
B. They consider him a talented man and good friend.
C. They think he is a bit peculiar, yet they revere him.
D. They worry about his excessive behaviors.

The excerpt would tell us that Oliver's neighbors (C) think he is a bit peculiar, yet they revere him.

We know that the neighbors think Oliver is peculiar or strange through the first half of the excerpt and from the line "he was a stranger to them". Despite this strangeness though, we can also infer that the neighbors revere or deeply respect him because they still "handled him with tender care".

The correct answer for this question is that: "c. They think he is a bit peculiar, yet they revere him." Based on this excerpt, we can infer about Oliver’s neighbors is that they think he is a bit peculiar, yet they revere him.

Here are the following choices.
a. They spread gossip about his unusual conduct.
b. They consider him a talented man and good friend.
c. They think he is a bit peculiar, yet they revere him.
d. They worry about his excessive behaviors.

C. Conducting a mini-lesson on how to write a topic sentence and a conclusion

In this scenario, where the teacher has identified that the ELL's writing is unorganized, conducting a mini-lesson on how to write a topic sentence and a conclusion is the most appropriate next step. This addresses the specific issue of organization in the student's writing and provides guidance on fundamental elements of structuring a narrative. It offers practical support for improving the student's writing skills and is directly related to the observed problem. Options A, B, and D do not directly address the issue of organization in the writing as effectively as option C does.

Trayvon, Julie, and Caleb who are members of the drama club, are auditioning for the school musical on Wednesday. Where should a comma be placed in this sentence? after “musical”
after “auditioning”
after “members”
after “Caleb”

Answers

Answer: D) After "Caleb."

Explanation: When we are writing a sentence or a text, we must pay attention to the correct use of punctuation marks, and also the correct placement. One of the most common uses of a comma is to introduce additional information in a sentence, without using parentheses. In the given sentence we should place a comma after the word "Caleb" because the phrase "who are members of the drama club" is giving additional information to the sentence and it should have commas before and after.

The answer is D. after "Caleb"

Which sentence in this excerpt from Ernest Hemingway's "In Another Country" uses parallelism? In the fall the war was always there, but we did not go to it any more. It was cold in the fall in Milan and the dark came very early. Then the electric lights came on, and it was pleasant along the streets looking in the windows. There was much game hanging outside the shops, and the snow powdered in the fur of the foxes and the wind blew their tails. The deer hung stiff and heavy and empty, and small birds blew in the wind and the wind turned their feathers. It was a cold fall and the wind came down from the mountains.

Answers

There was much game hanging outside the shops, and the snow powdered in the fur of the foxes and the wind blew their tails. Parallelism is the repetition of a similar grammatical structure or construction within a sentence. The most basic example of parallelism is when writing a list of actions. For example: Yesterday I cooked, cleaned and washed the dishes. Each one of the actions is written in past tense. Authors use parallelism for emphasis and to show a relation between ideas. In this sentence, the parallelism is "the snow powdered" and "the wind blew". The grammatical structures are similar.

Answer:

The deer hung stiff and heavy and empty, and small birds blew in the wind and the wind turned their feathers.

I looked upon the scene before me—upon the mere house, and the simple landscape features of the domain—upon the bleak walls—upon the vacant eyelike windows—upon a few rank sedges—and upon a few white trunks of decayed trees—with an utter depression of soul, which I can compare to no earthly sensation more properly than to the afterdream of the reveler upon opium—the bitter lapse into everyday life—the hideous dropping off of the veil. There was an iciness, a sinking, a sickening of the heart—an unredeemed dreariness of thought which no goading of the imagination could torture into aught of the sublime.
