As she went behind the bar to the kitchen, she heard a sound repeated at regular intervals. Chirk, chirk, chirk, it went, the sound of a spoon being rapidly whisked round a basin. “That girl!” she said. “There! I clean forgot it. It’s her being so long!” And while she herself finished mixing the mustard, she gave Millie a few verbal stabs for her excessive slowness. She had cooked the ham and eggs, laid the table, and done everything, while Millie (help indeed!) had only succeeded in delaying the mustard. And him a new guest and wanting to stay! What is the most likely meaning of the phrase verbal stabs as it is used in these sentences?

a) compliments; words of praise

b) harsh metallic sounds

c)insults aimed at encouraging action.

d)words spoken randomly, with little thought.

(Explain why that is the answer)

from The Black Man’s Plea for Justice

Hear me, statesman,

I am pleading to defend

The black man’s cause.

Will you give me the protection

to outline your laws?

Will your lawyers plead my cases

in your courts?

Am I not a citizen?

I pay dear for transportation

over all your railroad track.

I come up to every requirement

and I will always pay my tax.

will you kindly teach me how?

Ruling power of this nation,

Eduardo wanted to learn how to cook, so he visited his friend Juan. Juan cooked while Eduardo watched and took careful notes.
Where is the best place to insert the clause "who had no experience in the kitchen"?
1. at the end of the first sentence
2. at the end of the second sentence
3. after "Eduardo" in the first sentence
04. after "cooked" in the second sentence

Answers

Answer:

The best place to insert "who had no experience in the kitchen" is:

3. After "Eduardo" in the first sentence.

Explanation:

The clause "who had no experience in the kitchen" has one purpose: to give more information about Eduardo. Therefore, the best place to put it is right when Eduardo is first mentioned, especially because that is the sentence which lets us know that Eduardo wants to learn how to cook. It makes sense that the two pieces of information should be given together: if he has no experience in the kitchen, nothing more natural than wanting to learn to cook.

Thus, the sentence becomes the following:

- Eduardo, who had no experience in the kitchen, wanted to learn how to cook, so he visited his friend Juan. Juan cooked while Eduardo watched and took careful notes.

Imagine you are running for a Presidency on Student Supreme Government (SSG) in your school and you are faced with these issues of cyberbullying and students’ suicidal tendencies. What can you advise your fellow students and for you to win the election?

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

What I can advise my fellow students to win the election would be the following.

I would tell my fellow students that my priority will be to end cyberbullying.

I would create an awareness campaign against cyberbullying and invite community members to participate. The basic points of the campaign would comprise the following.

1.- A testimonial campaign on Yo*tube and other social media channels.

2.- A series of conferences on the school premises with experts.

3.- Continual posts through the school's social media.

4.- A workshop with psychologists and family members.

Cyberbullying affects students in many ways, not only physically or emotionally but academically too. The consequences are diverse but the impact is similar.

Bullying can harm other students. It can be light damage or serious harm, depending on the aggression. Victims of bullying feel impotence because they can defend themselves or answer the aggression back. This creates many bad emotions that affect students emotionally and mentally.

That is why my commitment will be to end this inhuman practice and support respect and tolerance.

In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare explores how difficult it is to escape the circumstances and consequences of your birth. Discuss.
Please help!!!

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

"Romeo and Juliet" written by Shakespeare presents the love story between Romeo and Juliet. Although this is a love story, its ending is not happy and inspiring, but rather tragic, as the two young people cannot be together because of the enmity between their families and end up making very drastic decisions so that they can live the love they feel one for the other.

As members of enemy families, Romeo and Juliet are born with the responsibility to maintain this enmity and prevent any kind of friendly relationship from being established between the families, even if the two have not participated in any activity that established the enmity between their families. When Romeo and Juliet decide to get married, they break this responsibility and reject the circumstances that make them support their family's wishes. However, Shakespeare shows, in his work, that the family obligation is inevitable and fate will find a way to make this responsibility fulfilled. In the play, this happens when Romeo and Juliet die, as proof of their love for each other, which allows their families' wish to be fulfilled, even if in a negative and sad way.

Write a letter to a friend describing any 3 occupation and which one you would like to take up when you grow up mention why you have selected the particular occupation

Answers

Answer:

Dear Susan,

I hope you are doing well. During the last few weeks, I've been thinking about the different occupations that I can take in the future.

The first one that came to my mind was a primary school teacher. I love being with kids. I find it interesting to explain things in creative ways so that they have fun while they learn.

The second occupation that I considered was graphic design. I am good at drawing and designing posters or presentations for the school. My classmates always ask me to help them with their Art homework when they are struggling, and the outcomes are always good.

Lastly, I thought of becoming an architect. I find it fascinating to design houses or buildings so that they look attractive and functional. On the other hand, it's hard to pay attention to every detail to have the perfect design.

After considering the three options, when I grow up, I would like to be a graphic designer since it is related to design like architecture, but I don't have to pay extra attention to details to have a successful design. Besides, I can work with children on projects and help others. What would you like to be when you grow up?

All the best,

Karl.

Write a story that ends with the expression so it pays to be kind to strangers

Answers

Answer:

There once was a poor man that walked by two small cottages one day; one red, and one blue. Both of the women that lived in either of the houses didn't have much money, since they had to give half of what they earned to the village president.

The woman in the red cottage, named Lucia, had a young son, and she very nearly starved, because she had small money to buy food, which she gave to her son. Lucia was boiling broth at the moment, and saw the poor man through her window. She didn't even check her satchel for some coins; instead she glanced at her thin stomach, and continued boiling broth; remembering to close the curtains.

Meanwhile, the woman in the blue cottage, named Moira, had no children, but a small dog that she fed diligently. Moira was sitting down on her wooden chair at the moment, with her dog on her lap. She heard a loud dragging noise coming from outside her door, and panicked. She wasn't sure if the village president was coming to collect his dues, or if it was one of those stray cats scratching at her door, so she opened the door timidly. There, she saw the poor man dragging his weather-beaten stick on the sand. Moira immediately took pity on him, and checked her satchel for coins. She found three bronze coins, not worth much, and ran outside bare-footed. Moira caught up to the man, grabbed his shriveled hand, and deposited the coins; giving him a quick smile before running back home.

Weak, but loud, the man yelled, "STOP, Moira."

Moira spun around, surprised. "How do you know my name?"

The poor man ignored the question, and came closer to Moira. He reached into his ragged pack, brought out 10 gold coins, and shoved them into Moira's hands. Moira gasped, only the president could have that much!

"Are you the village president in disguise?" Moira asked.

The supposedly poor man shook his head. "No, Moira. I was a stranger, supposedly poor, and you gave me more than half of your money. But your neighbor, Lucia, closed her curtains on me. You deserve this money more than I."

As the man walked away, he turned around one last time. "Say nothing about our encounter."

Moira nodded, awestruck, and pocketed the coins, now walking back to her house. When she closed the door to her blue house, she remembered that she forgot to say thank you.

"Alas!" She exclaimed. "Words will never say what he just did for me."

The moral of this story is that "It pays to be kind to strangers."
