The City Mouse and the Country Mouse

A City Mouse and a Country Mouse were acquaintances (friends), and the Country Mouse one day invited his friend to come and see him at his home in the fields. The City Mouse came, and they sat down to a dinner of roots. The fare was not much to the taste of the guest, and presently he broke out with "My poor dear friend, you live here no better than the ants. Now, you should just see how I fare (live)! You must come and stay with me, and I promise you, you shall live on the fat of the land." So when he returned to the city he took the Country Mouse with him, and showed him into a pantry containing flour and oatmeal and figs and honey and dates. The Country Mouse had never seen anything like it, and sat down to enjoy the luxuries his friend provided: but before they had well begun, the door of the larder opened and someone came in. The two Mice scampered off and hid themselves in a narrow and exceedingly uncomfortable hole. Presently, when all was quiet, they ventured out again; but someone else came in, and off they scuttled again. This was too much for the visitor. "Good-bye," said he, "I'm off. You live in the lap of luxury, I can see, but you are surrounded by dangers; whereas at home I can enjoy my simple dinner of roots and corn in peace."

WILL MARK BRAINILIST
Which of the following most closely reflects the theme of the passage? (10 points)

A modest life with peace and quiet is better than a richly one with danger and strife.
Precious things are for those that can prize them.
Just because something is difficult does not mean it is bad.
Do not be deceived by the innocent looks of those that were once your enemies.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: A (the first one)

Explanation: I think that it is the first one because when the city mouse brings the country mouse to his home in the city, the text explains how it's a luxurious place with with lots of food, but it's also very dangerous. Also, when the country mouse leaves, he says that the city mouse might have a luxurious house, but his house in the fields is more peaceful and less dangerous. :)

Question 1: ‘The Necklace’ by Guy de Maupassant
What does this passage reveal about the different characters? Support your answer with evidence from this passage.
‘The Necklace’ by Guy de Maupassant
She had no dresses, no jewels, nothing; and these were the only things she loved. She felt she was made for them alone. She wanted so much to charm, to be envied, to be desired and sought after.
She had a rich friend, a former schoolmate at the convent, whom she no longer wanted to visit because she suffered so much when she came home. For whole days afterwards she would weep with sorrow, regret, despair and misery.

One evening her husband came home with an air of triumph, holding a large envelope in his hand.
"Look," he said, "here's something for you."
She tore open the paper and drew out a card, on which was printed the words:
"The Minister of Education and Mme. Georges Rampouneau request the pleasure of M. and Mme. Loisel's company at the Ministry, on the evening of Monday January 18th."
Instead of being delighted, as her husband had hoped, she threw the invitation on the table resentfully, and muttered:
"What do you want me to do with that?"
"But, my dear, I thought you would be pleased. You never go out, and it will be such a lovely occasion! I had awful trouble getting it. Everyone wants to go; it is very exclusive, and they're not giving many invitations to clerks. The whole ministry will be there."
She stared at him angrily, and said, impatiently:
"And what do you expect me to wear if I go?"
He hadn't thought of that. He stammered:
"Why, the dress you go to the theatre in. It seems very nice to me ..."
He stopped, stunned, distressed to see his wife crying. Two large tears ran slowly from the corners of her eyes towards the corners of her mouth. He stuttered:
"What's the matter? What's the matter?"
With great effort she overcame her grief and replied in a calm voice, as she wiped her wet cheeks:
"Nothing. Only I have no dress and so I can't go to this party. Give your invitation to a friend whose wife has better clothes than I do."
He was distraught, but tried again:
"Let's see, Mathilde. How much would a suitable dress cost, one which you could use again on other occasions, something very simple?"

Answers

Answer: it is A. grandfather and Heidi enjoy each other’s company

Explanation:it is also correct

Answer:

C. Grandfather and Heidi enjoy each other's company.

Explanation:

from Heidi

by Johanna Spyri

    The grandfather now asked Peter how he got along in school. Heidi was so interested that she asked him a hundred questions. Poor Peter, who was not an easy talker, found himself in great difficulty answering the little girl's inquiries, but at least it gave him leisure to dry his clothes.

    During this conversation the grandfather's eyes had been twinkling, and at last he said to the boy: "Now that you have been under fire, general, you need some strengthening. Come and join us at supper."

    With that the old man prepared a meal which amply satisfied Peter's appetite. It had begun to get dark, and Peter knew that it was time to go. He had said good-bye and thank you, when turning to Heidi he remarked:

    "I'll come next Sunday, if I may. By the way, Heidi, grandmother asked me to tell you that she would love to see you.

    Heidi immediately approved of this idea, and her first word next morning was: "Grandfather, I must go down to grandmother. She is expecting me."

    Four days later the sun was shining and the tight-packed frozen snow was crackling under every step. Heidi was sitting at the dinner-table, imploring the old man to let her make the visit then, when he got up, and fetching down her heavy cover, told her to follow him. They went out into the glistening snow; no sound was heard and the snow-laden fir-trees shone and glittered in the sun. Heidi in her transport was running to and fro: "Grandfather, come out! Oh, look at the trees! They are all covered with silver and gold," she called to the grandfather, who had just come out of his workshop with a wide sled. Wrapping the child up in her cover, he put her on the sled, holding her fast. Off they started at such a pace that Heidi shouted for joy, for she seemed to be flying like a bird. The sled had stopped in front of Peter's hut, and grandfather said: "Go in. When it gets dark, start on your way home." When he had unwrapped her, he turned homewards with his sled.

How does the author develop Squeaky's viewpoint in this excerpt?

by revealing that Squeaky knows she is too little to fight other kids

by emphasizing that Squeaky refuses to allow others to tease Raymond

by showing that Squeaky believes she is toughest of anyone she knows

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is a,

by revealing that Squeaky knows she is too little to fight other kids

Explanation:

In the story, Squeaky says, "I much rather just knock you down and take my chances even if I am a little girl with skinny arms and a squeaky voice"

Therefore, A is the answer.

The author develops Squeaky's viewpoint in this excerpt by revealing that Squeaky knows she is too little to fight other kids. The correct option is A.

Why was squeaky given this nickname?

She earned the moniker "Squeaky" from ranch owner George Spahn because of the noise she made when he touched her. In 1969, Manson and a few of his followers were detained for the murders of Sharon Tate, Leno, and Rosemary LaBianca, and Fromme and the rest of the Manson Family camped outside the courthouse.

She is confident in herself and knows who she is. They slow down as they approach me, though. By the time the story is over, Squeaky is more concerned with teaching her brother about the joys of success and sharing her love of running with him than she is with earning the reputation of being the toughest or fastest girl in town.

Thus, the ideal selection is option A.
