Read this passage from “The Monkey’s Paw” to determine the answers to the follow-up questions.
“To look at,” said the sergeant-major, fumbling in his pocket, “it's just an ordinary little paw, dried to a mummy.”

He took something out of his pocket and proffered it. Mrs. White drew back with a grimace, but her son, taking it, examined it curiously.

“And what is there special about it?” inquired Mr. White as he took it from his son, and having examined it, placed it upon the table.

“It had a spell put on it by an old fakir,” said the sergeant-major, “a very holy man. He wanted to show that fate ruled people's lives, and that those who interfered with it did so to their sorrow. He put a spell on it so that three separate men could each have three wishes from it.”

His manner was so impressive that his hearers were conscious that their light laughter jarred somewhat.

“Well, why don't you have three, sir?” said Herbert White, cleverly.

The soldier regarded him in the way that middle age is wont to regard presumptuous youth. “I have,” he said, quietly, and his blotchy face whitened.

“And did you really have the three wishes granted?” asked Mrs. White.

“I did,” said the sergeant-major, and his glass tapped against his strong teeth.

“And has anybody else wished?” persisted the old lady.

“The first man had his three wishes. Yes,” was the reply; “I don't know what the first two were, but the third was for death. That's how I got the paw.”

His tones were so grave that a hush fell upon the group.

“If you've had your three wishes, it's no good to you now, then, Morris,” said the old man at last. “What do you keep it for?”

The soldier shook his head. “Fancy, I suppose,” he said, slowly. “I did have some idea of selling it, but I don't think I will. It has caused enough mischief already. Besides, people won't buy. They think it's a fairy tale; some of them, and those who do think anything of it want to try it first and pay me afterward.

Part A
Which of the following states an important idea that may be the theme of the selection?

A.Do not be greedy when making a wish.

B.People have no power over the directions their lives take.

C.It is important to think carefully before you wish for anything.

Part B
Which sentences or phrases from the passage best supports your answer?

A.“They think it's a fairy tale; some of them, and those who do think anything of it want to try it first and pay me afterward.”

B.“If you've had your three wishes, it's no good to you now, then, Morris," said the old man at last. "What do you keep it for?”

C.“The first man had his three wishes. Yes,” was the reply; “I don't know what the first two were, but the third was for death. That's how I got the paw.”

D.“He put a spell on it so that three separate men could each have three wishes from it.”

Answer:

XAXA

Explanation:

As you may already know, rhymes are the sounds repeated at the end of the vesos of a poem. The rhymes are created to give a rhythm and a musicality in poetry, leaving it with a more musical and harmonious air.

The rhymes have patterns that are organized according to the repetition of the same line between the verses. Verses with the same rhymes receive the same letter, verses with different rhymes receive a different letter. Usually these letters are "A" and "B", the verses that do not have a rhyme present the letter "X".

Based on this, we can say that the rhyme pattern in the passage shown in the passage above has the pattern "XAXA," since the first and third verses do not rhyme, but the second and fourth verse rhyme with each other.

Answer:A

Explanation:

Answer: no he would not (For an open ended question)

Explanation: he would benefit from learning more about agriculture and farming (he would only pursue his degree if he wanted to be an agricultural scientist) Hope this helps.....

Argument of Cons:

It would not be necessary for a farmer to pursue a degree, if they truly wish to become a farmer.  The farmer should keep in mind that there is a whole bunch of student debt from going to college.  Farmers do not make much compared to average, and so they will have a lot of trouble paying off all the debt.

Argument of Pros:

A farmer would benefit from a college education.  There are many majors out there related to agriculture, which could potentially benefit the farmer.  For instance, the farmer may major in agriculture, agricultural economics, animal science, conservation of natural resources, farmer science, principles of horticulture, farm management, or dairy science.

C) Little Free Libraries are growing in popularity around the world because  they bring neighbors together and make books more accessible.

Explanation:

A. is not the right answer. While DooSun liked building Little Free Libraries because, as he says, books are equal to treasure and he wanted to share it, this is not the main concept of the selection. DooSun‘s story is only part of the text.

B. is not correct. Little Free Libraries are not built by gathered funds, but by individual people.

C. is the correct answer. The point of the excerpt is to tell the story of a few Little Free Libraries and how they grow around the world. The text tries to explain this is because people feel a sense of community, as this way they can share their experiences about books with the neighbors since Little Free Libraries make reading more accessible to all in the area.

D. is not the correct answer. While Little Free Libraries are hand build boxes for various novels, this is just an explanation of what they are and not the main idea of the text.

Undergirding the development of modern Europe between the 1780s and 1849 was an unprecedented economic transformation that embraced the first stages of the great Industrial Revolution and a still more general expansion of commercial activity. Articulate Europeans were initially more impressed by the screaming political news generated by the French Revolution and ensuing Napoleonic Wars, but in retrospect the economic upheaval, which related in any event to political and diplomatic trends, has proved more fundamental.

Answer:

In the section "In the Heights" we can see how Miranda ascended to musicals, being a notable name in this industry. He took advantage of this moment to specialize and take his talents and skills to another level, the level that would allow him to succeed in writing songs for "Hamilton".

Mirando wanted to capture Hamilton's mentality, his anxieties and his intelligence. So he started writing a song for Hamilton, which soon led him to a mixtape that captured all the complexity of this character. The mixtape did so well that it was transformed into the musical "Hamilton", one of the biggest and most sought after musicals on Broadway.

Connotation exists the underlying meaning of a word or phrase.

I admire the man who jumped on the subway tracks to rescue a stranger. He was certainly courageous.

A word's literal meaning is its denotative meaning. So, for instance, the word "home" has a denotative meaning that designates a structure where people reside.

Connotative meaning, on the other hand, relates to how you personally feel about that specific word. Because it is the place where your family lives and where you are happy, the word "home" typically connotes something pleasant and warm.

Connotation that is positive. words that elicit a positive emotional reaction. For instance, calling someone who is driven and determined a "go-getter" or a young person.

A term with a negative connotation is one that makes you feel bad. For instance, phrases like "pushy," "stubborn," "nosy," and "lazy" all imply negative traits.

Connotation is the underlying meaning of a word or phrase. Depending on the language that is used to describe it, it can be either good, negative, or neutral. For instance, someone would be describing their meaning as having an ominous tone if they said, "I have a horrible feeling about this."

C. He forgets about them because he is more interested in taking care of the bird and seeing the outside world again

Explanation:

In "The Magic Prison", prince Harweda is a young boy who is very selfish. Concerned about his future as a king, his parents ask his fairy godmother to help them teach some humility to the boy.

The fairy godmother takes the boy to an enchanted castle, where she locks Harweda up. The only other living being in the castle is a little bird. The walls are taken up by mirrors and windows. However, since Harweda only cares about staring at himself in the mirrors, the windows gradually disappear.

Once the windows are completely gone and Harweda is left in the dark, he finally begins to pay attention to things other than himself. He forgets about the mirrors completely. He begins to take care of the little bird, not realizing that every time he does it, the windows begin to slowly reappear. Harweda gets excited about the sunlight coming in and about the possibility of seeing the outside world, something he did not care about before. As he continues to be kind to the bird, the windows grow more and more. Finally, once Harweda frees the bird, he himself is finally released from this magic prison.
