Does anybody know the answer to "There was a rustling of dresses, and the standing congregation sat down. The boy whose history this book relates did not enjoy the prayer, he only endured it-if he even did that much. He was restive all through it; he kept tally of the details of the prayer, unconsciously-for he was not listening, but he knew the ground of old, and the clergyman's regular route over it-and when a little trifle of new matter was interlarded, his ear detected it and his whole nature resented it; he considered additions unfair, and scoundrelly."Based on the information provided in this excerpt, how would you characterize Tom? Answer in two to three complete sentences using supporting details from the text.

Answers

Answer:

The excerpt from "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" by Mark Twain displays Tom who is the protagonist of the novel, as a boy who doesn't like church but still carries respect for it that symbolizes his strong moral conscience. He was a mischievous boy who lives a lazy lifestyle full of freedom. He was quite restless('restive all through it') as he loves his freedom and thus, he finds sitting in church monotonous and tedious("unconsciously - for he was not listening"). He is bored with following the routine over and again("his whole nature resented it"). Thus, the excerpt displays Tom as a boy of carefree nature who disliked sitting in church yet follows the principles the morality principles.

Identify the relative pronoun and the noun or pronoun to which it relates. The unlikely story that he told proved to be true. Relative pronoun: Noun or pronoun to which it relates:

Answers

Answer:

Relative pronoun: that; it relates to 'The unlikely story'.

Explanation:

A relative clause is linked to another clause in a sentence by a relative pronoun. It identifies which person or thing we are talking about. In this sentence, the clause that he told  uses the relative pronoun that  to refer to theunlikely story, and without this relative clause, it wouldn't be clear what unlikely story was proved to be true.
The relative pronoun here is 'that', and it relates to 'story'.

Question...What is a conceit in poetry?

Answers...
A. when something has meaning beyond itself
B. a comparison using like or as
C. the use of an extended metaphor
D. writing or speech not intended to be only literal

Answers

The best choice is option C. A conceit is an "extended metaphor" - meaning it is drawn out or lengthy, possibly even explored throughout the entire poem. Another characteristic of a conceit is that it is often a surprising unexpected comparison - for example, comparing two things that are not at all related - which may help the author of the poem to more effectively grab the reader's attention.

An example of a conceit in poetry includes Shakespeare’s well-known sonnet, Sonnet 18, which begins “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?” Throughout the poem, the subject (the person the narrator is talking about) is compared to a summer's day, making this an extended metaphor.
In literature, a conciet is an extended metaphore with a complex logic That governs a poetic passage or entire poem!

Which of the following items is probably not in the index of a book about traveling to Bolivia?

Answers

Answer:

Writing a postcard.

Explanation:

In any index of any book, the most importune points will be available. According to the question, the index of a book about travelling to Bolivia will have details and instructions, hints about finding an airport, choosing a hotel and getting around. These are all important points or details one must or can learn from a book about the place. Not only will it become helpful in managing everything, it will also save time and energy in getting to know the way of the land. But, not included in the book will most probably be how to write a postcard. Writing a postcard has nothing to do with the travelling plans nor will it be of any use for the traveler.

Writing a Postcard would most likely not be there ^^

What form is the underlined verb in the sentence?I WRITE in my journal before bedtime each night.A.pastB.present participleC.past participleD.presentwrite is underlined
Mankind being originally equals in the order of creation, the equality could only be destroyed by some subsequent circumstance; the distinctions of rich, and poor, may in a great measure be accounted for, and that without having recourse to the harsh, ill-sounding names of oppression and avarice. Oppression is often the CONSEQUENCE, but seldom or never the MEANS of riches; and though avarice will preserve a man from being necessitously poor, it generally makes him too timorous to be wealthy.But there is another and greater distinction, for which no truly natural or religious reason can be assigned, and that is, the distinction of men into KINGS and SUBJECTS. Male and female are the distinctions of nature, good and bad the distinctions of heaven; but how a race of men came into the world so exalted above the rest, and distinguished like some new species, is worth inquiring into, and whether they are the means of happiness or of misery to mankind. What is Thomas Paine's central claim in this excerpt? A-There will always be a distinction between kings and their subjects. B-The equality that humans enjoyed during creation has been ruined because of war and famine. C-Not all people who belonged to the upper sections of society were cruel. D-The differences between the kings and the subjects were not religious or natural.
