Read this excerpt from "Poor Harold.”

A room in Washington Square South. By the light of a candle, a young man in tousled hair and dressing gown is writing furiously at a little table. A clock within strikes seven.

A door at the back opens, and a young woman looks in, sleepily. She frowns. The young man looks up guiltily.

SHE. What are you doing?

HE. (innocently) Writing.

SHE. So I see. (She comes in, and sits down. It may be remarked that a woman's morning appearance, in dishabille, is a severe test of both looks and character; she passes that test triumphantly. She looks at the young man, and asks) – Poetry?

HE. (hesitatingly) No. . . .

SHE. (continues to look inquiry).

HE. (finally) A letter. . . .

SHE. (inflexibly) – To whom?

HE. (defiantly) To my wife!

SHE. Oh! That's all right. I thought perhaps you were writing to your father.

HE. (bitterly) My father! Why should I write to my father? Isn't it enough that I have broken his heart and brought disgrace upon him in his old age –

SHE. Disgrace? Nonsense! Anybody might be named as a co-respondent in a divorce case.

HE. Not in Evanston, Illinois. Not when you are the local feature of a notorious Chicago scandal. Not when your letters to the lady are published in the newspapers. – Oh, those letters!

SHE. Were they such incriminating letters, Harold?

HAROLD. Incriminating? How can you ask that, Isabel? They were perfectly innocent letters, such as any gentleman poet might write to any lady poetess. How was I to know that a rather plain-featured woman I sat next to at a Poetry Dinner in Chicago was conducting a dozen love-affairs? How was I to know that my expressions of literary regard would look like love-letters to her long-suffering husband? That's the irony of it: I'm perfectly blameless.

Which of Harold's character traits is revealed using direct characterization?

youth
innocence
defiance
bitterness

Answer:

A. Youth

Explanation:

Characterization is a process of giving traits and personality to a character by the author. There are two types of characterization: direct and indirect.

Direct characterization is, as the name suggests, when the author directly states the character's traits.

Indirect characterization is when character's traits and personality need to be infered from his actions, words, manner of speaking etc.

Here, the question is to find which Harold's characteristic is revealed using DIRECT characterization.

That can be seen from "By the light of a candle, a YOUNG man in tousled hair and dressing gown is writing furiously at a little table."

The author directly and precisely states that Harold is a young man.

Answer:

A. Youth Is the correct answer you are looking for

After the Egyptians crushed cut cane and captured the juice, they boiled and strained the liquid, let it settle, then strained it again. The cane juice was now poured into molds with holes in the bottom, so that all the liquid could drain out, leaving only a powder. That powder was then mixed with milk and boiled again. After one round of these steps, the process was repeated all over again. As a result of all this effort and care, Egypt was known for the "whitest and purest" sugar.

Which statement best summarizes this passage?

Egyptians required access to fire, molds, and milk in order to produce sugar.
Egyptians created an innovative process for refining white sugar.
The Egyptians' techniques proved that they were the smartest people in the ancient world.
The Egyptians' success inspired other cultures to develop similar techniques.

During which point in the plot are subplots usually introduced?
falling action
rising action
resolution
exposition

My intro was this: Beep..Beep.... The sound of the cars practically haunt you as you drive through all the traffic. You picture how much easier it would just be to get out of the car and walk. Well the people in Paris and Bogota don't have to imagine. They are both car free cities. Cities that have a much healthier, newer and fresher lifestyle. The residents in these cities don't feel the need for cars anymore. No rush to get a license at 16 and no rush to get the new Tesla. These also show options for accessibility, things are closer and no need to go miles for the supermarket. The environment is also thanking the lack of fuels from the engines crowding up the earth. The limitation of car usage has many advantages such as less stress for the citizens, more accessible options to getting places and a better environment.

Which two sentences in these excerpts from Kate Chopin’s “The Locket” reflect the theme of holding on to love despite time and distance.

The letter had made Edmond heart sick and home sick. He stretched himself on his back and looked straight up at the blinking stars. But he was not thinking of them nor of anything but a certain spring day when the bees were humming in the clematis; when a girl was saying goodbye to him. He could see her as she unclasped from her neck the locket which she fastened about his own. It was an old fashioned golden locket bearing miniatures of her father and mother with their names and the date of their marriage. It was her most precious earthly possession.

…

Octavie wore a plain black dress, severe in its simplicity. A narrow belt held it at the waist and the sleeves were gathered into close fitting wristbands. She had discarded her hoopskirt and appeared not unlike a nun. Beneath the folds of her bodice nestled the old locket. She never displayed it now. It had returned to her sanctified in her eyes; made precious as material things sometimes are by being forever identified with a significant moment of one's existence.

…

Octavie felt as if she had passed into a stage of existence which was like a dream, more poignant and real than life. There was the old gray house with its sloping eaves. Amid the blur of green, and dimly, she saw familiar faces and heard voices as if they came from far across the fields, and Edmond was holding her. It was as if the spirit of life and the awakening spring had given back the soul to her youth and bade her rejoice.

List the major works attributed to Shakespeare:
​

"At a time like this, scorching irony, not convincing argument, is needed. Oh! had I the ability, and could I reach the nation's ear, I would today pour out a fiery stream of biting ridicule, blasting reproach, withering sarcasm, and stern rebuke. For it is not light that is needed, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake. The feeling of the nation must be quickened; the conscience of the nation must be roused; the propriety of the nation must be startled; the hypocrisy of the nation must be exposed; and its crimes against God and man must be denounced."
