Most autobiographies conveyA. a sorrowful tone.
B. the significance of fame.
C. flashbacks of events.
D. a significant message or lesson.

Answers

The most probable answer here I tihnk is C - flasback of events. 

An autobiography isn't suppose to convery a sorrowful tone, so this answer is surerly not correct. 

Some autobiographies might convey significance of fame in certain ways, however, that is not the main idea of what a autobiography is suppose to do. 

Some also might include a sigificant message or lesson. Again, however, that is not what an autobiography is supposed to be. 

The truly correct answer in this case is C - flashback of events, as an author is supposed to write relatively detailed descriptions of certain points in his life that he found to be important in his life :)

Answer:The answer is D as significant message or lesson.

Explanation:I just took a test on this and the answer that is verified is incorrect.

[Honors Seg 1, Lesson 01 MC] "By Freedom gained, by Truth maintained, Thine Empire shall be strong." In a response of two to three sentences, explain how these lines reveal the poet's attitude toward the Empire:

Answers

Answer:

The poet is patriotic towards his country.

Explanation:

Edward Elgar first composed a music for "Pomp and Circumstance" which King Edward VII liked very much. He suggested the addition of words into this tune, resulting in the "Land of Hope and Glory" with the words by Arthur C. Benson. They were initially different works for different purposes but came to be put together after the king's suggestion. This song is now representative of British patriotism and have been sung in various instances such as the last "Night of the Proms" which is a famous worldwide musical event in celebration of British traditions.

Kipling, the writer, had complicated perspectives on domain. From one perspective, he positively trusted Britain had a privilege and a commitment to travel to another country to the terrains of the poor unbelievers and bring Britain's prevalent financial, political, and social contributions to them. He was obviously  affected by his time in British India and waxed wonderful about it in his stanza and short stories.

Which word in this excerpt from act I, scene I, of Richard III means “to listen”?

Answers

Yea, Richard, when I know; for I protest As yet I do not: but, as I can learn, He hearkens after prophecies and dreams; And from the cross-row plucks the letter G.And says a wizard told him that by G His issue disinherited should be; And, for my name of George begins with G, It follows in his thought that I am he. These, as I learn, and such like toys as theseHave moved his highness to commit me now.

the answer is hearkens 
Since you didn't provide the excerpt, I am going to assume that the answer you need is 'hearken'.

"The Literature of ancient Egypt is the product of a period of about four thousand years, and it was written in three kinds of writing, which are called hieroglyphic, hieratic, and demotic. In the first of these, the characters were pictures of objects; in the second, the forms of the characters were made as simple as possible so that they might be written quickly; and in the third, many of them lost their picture form altogether and became mere symbols. Egyptian writing was believed to have been invented by the god Tehuti, or Thoth, and as this god was thought to be a form of the mind and intellect, and have the wisdom of the God who created the heavens and the earth, the picture characters, or hieroglyphs as they are called, were held to be holy, or divine, or sacred. The materials used by the Egyptians for writing upon were very numerous, but the commonest were stone, wood, skin, and papyrus. The earliest writings were probably traced upon them using some type of fluid, coloured black or red, which served as ink. When the Egyptians became acquainted with the use of the metals they began to cut their writings in stone. As time went on and men wanted to write long texts or inscriptions, they made great use of wood as a writing material. Sheepskin, or goatskin, was used as a writing material, but its use was never general; ancient Egyptian documents written on skin or, as we should say, on parchment, are very few. At a very early period the Egyptians learned how to make a sort of paper, which is now universally known by the name of "papyrus". When they made this discovery cannot be said, but the hieroglyphic inscriptions of early dynasties contain the pictures of a roll of papyrus, hence the antiquity of the use of papyrus must be great. 1. What is the difference between hieroglyph and hieratic writing? A - Hieroglyph writing is easier to write than hieratic. B - Hieratic writing uses very simple symbols. C - Hieratic writing is easier to write than hieroglyph writing. D - There are no differences between the two.
