Answer 1
Answer:

1a.) What sentence is thetopic sentence of the paragraph?


A trip to the ocean can be a relaxing escape fromthe everyday pressures of life.


When looking for the topic ofa paragraph, it’s best to look at the beginning of the paragraph because,typically, the topic of the paragraph will be presented within the first coupleof sentences.  Too, because the bodysentences should really be development of the topic, the topic sentence will bea general statement and body sentences will tend to get more specific.  When looking the first sentence, we see thatit is a broad statement upon which the rest of the sentences elaborate.


 1b.) What sentence is unrelated to the topicand can be eliminated?


You should always be careful to avoidoverexposure to the sun at the beach.


Because all the sentencesdiscuss relaxation in one fashion or another, and this sentence discusses thepotential of sun burn/skin damage, this sentence would be considered off topicbecause it is not developing the topic sentence.

What best describes Juliet's tone in the following exchange with Nurse (III. v. 242-247)? Juliet. Speakest thou from thy heart? Nurse. And from my soul too; Or else beshrew them both. Juliet. Amen! Nurse. What! Juliet. Well, thou hast comforted me marvellous much. sincere hysterical angry sarcastic

Answers

Answer:

sarcastic

Explanation:

In this part of the book "Romeo and Juliet" the Nurse is telling Juliet that Romeo was banned from the city and for that reason, it would be better for Juliet to marry again because even if the second marriage is bad it will be better than marriage with Romeo, since he can not go back to town. At that moment Juliet is horrified at the words of the Nurse, who knows that Juliet loves Romeo, and asks if the nurse is speaking with her heart (speaking sincerely). The nurse says she wants her heart and soul to be cursed if she does not speak honestly and for this reason Juliet sarcastically replies "Amen."

Juliet replies with sarcasm because she wants to show that she does not believe that at Nurse's suggestion of marrying a man she does not love and insinuating that this man will be better than romeu. Juliet does not want to accept this "sincerity."

I think it might be Sarcastic

Read the excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game." "I wanted the ideal animal to hunt," explained the general. "So I said: 'What are the attributes of an ideal quarry?' And the answer was, of course, 'It must have courage, cunning, and, above all, it must be able to reason.'" "But no animal can reason," objected Rainsford. "My dear fellow," said the general, "there is one that can." "But you can't mean—" gasped Rainsford. "And why not?" "I can't believe you are serious, General Zaroff. This is a grisly joke." "Why should I not be serious? I am speaking of hunting." "Hunting? General Zaroff, what you speak of is murder." Rainsford’s response to Zaroff indicates that he is opposed to the idea of hunting humans. he does not understand that Zaroff is hunting humans. he will soon be joining Zaroff in the hunt for humans. he thinks Zaroff has the right to hunt humans.

Answers

Hey there! :D


In the story "The Most Dangerous Game," the general is hunting down humans for sport. In response to this confession, Rainsford says that hunting down humans is murder. We can eliminate any answer choice that has a positive correlation to what the general is saying. He wouldn't join Zaroff in hunting humans if he thought it was murder. He doesn't think it's right either.


We are left with two options. One elaborates that Rainsford is opposed to hunting humans, and the other is that he does not understand why Zaroff is hunting humans. What goes along with what Rainsford's dialogue is saying more than the other? Well, Rainsford doesn't understand why the General is hunting humans. 'This is a grisly joke.' But, he clearly states that he thinks that hunting humans is considered murder. And he clearly expresses the idea that he is very opposed to it. I think the best answer choice is:


"Rainsford's response to Zaroff indicates that... he is opposed to the idea of hunting humans."


I hope this helps!
