Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

C) It's God will. We shall all come to it some day," said Gerasim.

Explanation:

Leo Tolstoy's novella "The Death of Ivan Ilyich" is about the story of a high court judge suffering and dying from a terminal illness. This fictional work of Tolstoy was considered to be one of the most masterpieces of his time.

Gerasim is a character from the text who was the manservant of the sick Ivan. He was the caretaker of the sick master, and also exhibits a genuine and different quality to that of the other characters in the story. He has a sense of compassion and empathy for his fellow human beings, which most of the other people seem lacking. He relates to the other people, having a sense of deep concern and affection for them. Maybe due to his status or position in the family, he seems to be like this. But he also have a genuine concern for the well being of everyone. He also has a strong belief in the existence of God and the life hereafter. The readers can see the connection of his spirituality and acceptance of death when he said that the death of Ivan is "God's will. We shall all come to it some day".
Answer 2
Answer: Seeing as his view of death is related to his spirituality, I would say C. This is the answer that includes a form of higher intelligence and spirituality.

What paradox of social injustice is presented in these lines from Countee Cullen's “From the Dark Tower”? We shall not always plant while others reap The golden increment of bursting fruit, Not always countenance, abject and mute That lesser men should hold their brothers cheap; a. The hearing and speaking impaired are routinely victimized by others in American society. b .Degrading someone ultimately causes a person to become inferior to those they believe to be subordinate. C . The natural system of justice is unbiased, and all people are given equal opportunity to grow and flourish. D.Those who enforce racial segregation are typically isolated groups in society.

Answers

The correct answer is B.

In these lines, Cullen describes men who plant, but do not reap. Instead, the fruits of their labors ("the golden increment of bursting fruit") is taken by others. Thus, the men labor with no reward. However, Cullen says it will not always be so.

Furthermore, he says that they will not always stand by silently while lesser men hold their brothers cheap. These "lesser men" are those who reap the fruits of other men's labors and in so doing degrade them. In degrading others, they degrade themselves and thus become "lesser."

Therefore, these lines describe the paradox of social injustice: that degrading others ultimately causes a person to become inferior to those he degrades. The correct answer is B.

Answer: B

Those who today enjoy power and prosperity may one day become subordinate to those they deem inferior

Which of the following is not an example of universal ethics?a. child admitting he broke his mother’s vase
b. a man giving up his seat for a woman
c. a student interrupting a lecture to correct the teacher about a mistake
d. a baby is rescued from the burning building by a fireman

Answers

ANSWER: b. a man giving up his seat for a woman

EXPLANATION: Universal Ethics is a set of rule or principle which is needs to be followed by everyone and is applicable irrespective of caste, color, race, faith or religion. A man giving his seat to a woman is a gesture of chivalry and not a universal ethics. The man may have needed the seat more desperately than the woman due to any of his physical inabilities but giving up the seat to a completely healthy woman would not be part of his ethics.
Universal Ethics are a set of principles which apply to all humans,whether secular or religious, independent from any particular faith, so i would go with B.

because that is your choice depending on your faith

Answers

Answer:

The pronoun that best completes the sentence is me; direct object

A direct object is a noun or a pronoun that answers either to the question "whom"or "what" it is the objective of the action and the receiver of it, then the correct word to complete the sentence is "Me" as a direct object since "my sister and me" receive the talk, we use the object pronoun "me" because "I" is a subject pronoun and represents the active person in the sentence.

In which sentence is the word climbing a gerund? a. Mr. Herrera planted climbing ivy on the side of his house. b. The explorers were climbing up the steeply sloping mountain. c. The children enjoyed climbing on the playground equipment.

Answers

The sentence: (c.) The children enjoy climbing on the playground equipment, is a sentence that uses the word climbing as a gerund. That is because climbing is directly appointed or connected to the playground equipment. A gerund is a word that is in the form of verb but acting as a noun.

Answer: C) The children enjoyed climbing on the playground equipment.

Explanation: A gerund is a word that has the form of a verb, but it acts like a noun (it can be a subject or an object in a sentence). The structure of a gerund is the root of the verb, plus the ending "ing." From the given sentences, the one that is an example of a gerund is "The children enjoyed climbing on the playground equipment" because in this case "climbing" acts like a noun (and the direct object of the sentence).
