Answers

Answer 1
Answer: I like splitting up the phrases of quotes like this to make it easier to understand.

"After some 6 weeks fatting amongst those savage courtiers" – after character has spent 6 weeks preparing for execution (lamb fattened for slaughter)...

"At the minute of my execution" – just before/as I was about to be executed...

"she hazarded the beating out of her own brains to save mine" – she (feminine character) risked her own life (beating out of brains = death) to save his life.
Answer 2
Answer:

Final answer:

The quote describes a perilous situation where the speaker was to be executed because of political intrigues, but a woman risked her life to save his.

Explanation:

The phrase is a richly figurative one, and it appears to be set in a time of brutal and dangerous courtly politics. Basically, the quote recounts a situation where the speaker has been caught up in dangerous political intrigues ('fatting amongst those Savage courtiers') likely against his will, and is scheduled to be executed ('at the minute of my execution'). The 'she' referred to in the quote is someone who loved or cared for the speaker so much that she was willing to risk her life ('she hazarded the beating out of her own brains') to save the speaker's life ('to save mine'). This implies that she took a significant and violent action, likely causing a major commotion, with the risk of injury being fatal.

Read the excerpt below from A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah and answer the question that follows.There was a thick forest on one side of the village where my grandmother lived and coffee farms on the other. A river flowed from the forest to the edge of the village, passing through palm kernels into a swamp. Above the swamp banana farms stretched into the horizon. The main dirt road that passed through Kabati was rutted with holes and puddles where ducks liked to bathe during the day, and in the backyards of the houses birds nested in mango trees. In the morning, the sun would rise from behind the forest. First, its rays penetrated through the leaves, and gradually, with cockcrows and sparrows that vigorously proclaimed daylight, the golden sun sat at the top of the forest. In the evening, monkeys could be seen in the forest jumping from tree to tree, returning to their sleeping places. On the coffee farms, chickens were always busy hiding their young from hawks. Beyond the farms, palm trees waved their fronds with the moving wind. Sometimes a palm wine tapper could be seen climbing in the early evening. How does the setting in the excerpt support the plot?

Read the prologue for act II of William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet:CHORUS: Now old desire doth in his death-bed lie,
And young affection gapes to be his heir;
That fair for which love groan'd for and would die,
With tender Juliet match'd, is now not fair.
Now Romeo is beloved and loves again,
Alike betwitched by the charm of looks,
But to his foe supposed he must complain,
And she steal love's sweet bait from fearful hooks:
Being held a foe, he may not have access
To breathe such vows as lovers use to swear;
And she as much in love, her means much less
To meet her new-beloved any where:
But passion lends them power, time means, to meet
Tempering extremities with extreme sweet.

In the previous act, Romeo and Juliet have fallen in love, even though their families despise one another. Based on the excerpt, what are the two main purposes of this prologue?

It recaps past events that happened in the play or offstage.



It describes the setting where the play takes place.



It gives instructions about the stage props and the stage layout.

Answers

It creates an ominous mood that hints at the conflicts of the play.

It recaps past events that happened in the play or offstage.

In this prologue, it begins by explaining that Romeo's feelings for Rosaline have gone and they are replaced by a new love. His new love returns his affections. However, she is his enemy. The prologue then talks about how Juliet is in love with her enemy. This is a recap of past events as well as hinting at the conflicts that come later in the play. The prologue reminds the reader that these two are not supposed to be in love and it will be a problem for them.

I did read a version of this so SPOILER WARNING SPOILER-- ahh, why bother? Everyone knows this story by now. *Ahem!* I believe it foreshadows Romeo and Juliet's deaths at the end, and I believe it nods to the conflict of that the two are in love but because of the feud between their families, it's forbidden, and it starts to settle in the ominous feelings which could in turn foreshadow the deaths too, IDK, don't take what I say to heart XD just what I think, hope this helps

Answers

Answer:

C

Explanation:

There should either be a comma and since none of them have a comma it should be the semi-colon to separate the sentence sections.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

C seems to be the correct answer because it uses a semicolon in the correct place, while B and D each use a colon in the incorrect places, and without a comma. A seems to use no punctuation at all, which makes it a run-on sentence.

Assuming this is referring to the word "violin", it would be a "direct object", since it is the thing being mastered, which means the verb (action) of the sentence is directly applied to it. 

Answer:

part of a compound subject

the subject is talking about Kendra and Jason, and I didn't choose the predicate because the predicate would be mastered the violin and it wouldn't make sense. same with direct object
