Read the sentences below, paying close attention to the tone of the passage.


So I followed Goofball’s directions to the joint where I was to meet the one they called Big Man. Big man is right! The guy was nearly as wide as he was tall, and all muscle. No wonder everyone "did what he said".


Which phrase could be substituted for the phrase in bold (it's did what he said), to better match the tone of the passage?

A)deferred to him

B)respected him

C)brought him presents

D)shined his shoes

Answers

Answer 1

The phrase that could be substituted for the phrase in bold to better match the tone of the passage is "deferred to him." So the right answer is (A) deferred to him

In the given passage, the speaker is describing Big Man as a person who is very muscular and imposing. Everyone seems to be following his orders without hesitation.

The tone of the passage is admiring and even slightly fearful. Therefore, the phrase that should replace "did what he said" should also convey the same tone.

A. Deferred to him is the phrase that could be substituted for the phrase in bold (did what he said), to better match the tone of the passage because it carries the same meaning and tone.

The word "defer" means to submit or yield to the judgment or wishes of another person. The speaker is admiring the power and influence of Big Man, which is the reason everyone is following his orders without question.

A few lucky actors and musicians have achieved the utmost zenith of fame. Those lucky few achieve success and recognition through sheer good fortune or by using their talents. Regardless of the origin of fame, performers thrive on constantly being in the public eye. The public interest spurs on performers' success. However, fame does come with a price. Stars often yearn for privacy in their public world. Those who value their privacy find that protecting their personal lives from the media is a true task. Rabid fans yearn to learn more about their favorite stars, and the media seeks to provide more information. Therefore, famous performers must find their own balance.

Based on the passage, which of the following is an example of irony?
A.
A performer believes that protecting his or her personal life from the public is a chore.
B.
A performer gains loyal and supportive fans if he or she demonstrates some talent.
C.
A performer relies on being in the public eye for success but still yearns for privacy.
D.
A performer achieves success by using his or her talents instead of depending on luck.

Answers

Answer:

C.  A performer relies on being in the public eye for success but still yearns for privacy.

Explanation:

The irony is when what happens is contradictory to what is expected or wanted. In other words, the irony is a rhetorical device that occurs when what one expects and wanted does not happen but rather, the contrary/opposite happens.

In the given passage about performers, the irony is that they rely on public opinion and the public's support for their success as performers. But then, they wanted privacy and to be away from the public. So, this is a complete irony in that while they desire the public for their success, they also yearn for privacy.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Are the Wakandans wrong to distance themselves from the struggles of black people in Africa and around the globe? Why or why not? Be specific.

Answers

Answer:

Yes, they are wrong to do so.

Explanation:

First, it is best to establish that Wakanda is a fictional state which appeared in American comic books. Perhaps, its creator wondered what a Civilized Africa would have looked like today if it was left undisturbed by colonial influence.

That is by the way.

According to the description of Wakanda, it was rich in tech and rare minerals such as Vibranium which can absorb energy and release it kinetically. Wakanda, according to fictional sources is the most technologically advanced nation on the earth.

Long story short, Wakanda had all the tech it needed to protect itself and some.

If Wakanda was that self-sufficient and so advanced, it means that it had all the power required to act as a voice and where necessary, a protector of black people and Africa all around the world.

We see America holding a similar position, deploying military personnel where necessary. One of the reasons, why it does this is because it can.

To whom much is given, much is expected.

If there was a vacant spot for a nation that could let it's voice, it's arms, it's resources to the protection of the black race, it should have been Wakanda.

In 1933, Martin Niemöller, a leader of the Confessing Church, voted for the Nazi Party. By 1938, he was in a concentration
camp. After the war, he is believed to have said, “In Germany, the Nazis came for the Communists, and I didn't speak up
because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came fo
the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't spea
up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak for me. How is the
point Niemöller makes similar to the one that the poet Maurice Ogden makes in "The Hangman?

Answers

Answer:

Both Niemöller and Ogden are criticizing the silent bystander that allows injustice to happen only until it affects him and then realizes that there´s no one there to stand up for him.

Explanation:

Ogden´s poem tells the story of a town that allows a mysterious hangman to kill people in the name of justice without much explanation. By the end of the poem, the hangman explains that all he did was what people allowed him to do. In the same way,  Niemöller´s words are those of someone who realized too late that his silence was a form of complicity.

Answers

Answer:

psychology is the branch of science that studies the mind and behavior :)

Explanation:

Answer:

this is the passage you need for the answer

Explanation:

What Is It That You Really Need?

    Sometimes it seems as if we never get what we want. But sometimes when we do get what we want, we realize that it’s not what we really want. That’s because our wants don’t always match our needs. The solution to this problem is to try to understand and satisfy our real needs.

    Psychology is the scientific study of the human mind and human and animal behavior. A lot of psychological research has been done about human needs and how they should be satisfied. Studies have shown that humans have basic needs that must be consistently met. Studies have also shown that there is an order of importance in which these needs must be satisfied. An individual’s basic functional needs must be satisfied before he or she can go on and meet other more creative and self-fulfilling needs.

    Abraham Harold Maslow (1908–1970) was an important psychologist who became famous for his studies regarding human needs and wants. He wrote two major works, Motivation and Personality and Toward a Psychology of Being. Maslow stressed that basic needs must first be satisfied before a person is able to be creative or function independently. He created his famous hierarchy of needs theory, which separates human needs into five layers. Each layer in the hierarchy must be satisfied before a person can proceed to the next layer. The five layers of human needs, according to Maslow, are as follows:

The physiological needs

The safety and security needs

The love and belonging needs

The esteem needs

Self-actualization

The Physiological Needs

    The physiological needs include the basic requirements for physical survival, such as oxygen, water, protein, salt, sugar, minerals, and vitamins. Other physiological needs include a proper body temperature and pH balance, physical activity, a lack of pain, and adequate sleep.

The Safety and Security Needs

    These needs become relevant only after the physiological needs are largely satisfied. The person will then become increasingly interested in such things as being safe and protected and having a stable life. He or she might also begin to need structure and order.

The Love and Belonging Needs

    Once a person feels reasonably secure in life and has his or her basic bodily needs satisfied, he or she wants to be a part of a community or group, to have friends, and to be in loving and caring relationships.

The Esteem Needs

    This level of needs has two components. The first covers a person’s needs to be respected by others and achieve fame, attention, and dignity. The second component of this level of needs covers a person’s needs for self-respect, confidence, independence, and freedom.

Self-Actualization

    The highest level is different from the other levels in a crucial way. All the previous levels discuss needs that need to be satisfied; once they are satisfied, we no longer think about them. If we feel well fed, safe, appreciated, and confident, we don’t think about those needs anymore. But on the complex level of self-actualization, a person continues to feel this need even after he or she has achieved it. This need drives us to be the most complete people we can—to be the best that we can be.

    The next time you are feeling as if something is missing from your life, think about Maslow and his theory of needs. Have you really satisfied the basic needs before trying to satisfy the higher levels of needs? Maybe you need to redefine what you are really searching for.

"On the Grasshopper and Cricket" is a poem by English author John Keats, one of the most prominent in the second generation of Romantic poets. Keats died at a very young age - he was only 25 when tuberculosis took his life.

The poem praises the beauty of nature by focusing on two specific insects: the grasshopper and the cricket. The speaker is fascinated by the way they both sing when nature goes silent. The grasshopper is a symbol of summer, while the cricket is a symbol of winter. They are the ones who keep "the poetry of earth" alive when it is either too hot or too cold for any other animals to move or make any noise.
