Answer:
The underlined phrases set an ironic tone since they imply that:
D. the community's raffling of names will cause little interruption in its daily life.
Explanation:
Shirley Jackson (1916-1965) was an American writer whose horror and mystery stories are still very successful. Among them is "The Lottery", a short story in which the community of a rural village carries out a lottery every year in order to decide who will be stoned to death.
That is right, however scary it may seem: the people draw pieces of paper, and the one to get the dotted piece in the end is killed by the other villagers. Dying and killing should be a great deal, a terrible thing, right? Yet, as we can see in the phrases in the question, they were not that great or terrible. The villagers are actually kind of in a hurry to get it all over with as soon as possible, so that they can go back to work. How ironic is it that something that is a matter of life and death should be done so frivolously? They kill, and then move on with their lives, going back home in time for lunch.
President Bush's ideas of promoting human rights around the globe in 2001 were vastly different than those of President Kennedy's in 1960.

Explanation:
Triangle MRN is created when an equilateral triangle is folded in half.
Answer:
4√3 units
Explanation:
Triangle MRN is created when an equilateral triangle is folded in half. What is the value of y?
A. 2√3 units
B. 4 units
C. 4√3 units
D. 8 units
Solution:
Pythagoras theorem states that for a right angled triangle, the square of its hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of the other two legs of the triangle. The hypotenuse is the longest side (that is side opposite to the 90 degrees).
In triangle SRM, using Pythagoras:
x² = z² + 2²
z² = x² - 2²
In triangle SRN, using Pythagoras:
y² = z² + 6²
substituting z² = x² - 2²:
y² = x² - 2² + 6²
In triangle RMN, using:
(6 + 2)² = y² + x²
substituting y² = x² - 2² + 6²:
8² = x² - 2² + 6² + x²
64 = 2x² - 4 + 36
64 = 2x² + 32
2x² = 32
x² = 16
x = 4
y² = x² - 2² + 6² = (4)² - 2² + 6²
y² = 16 - 4 + 36
y² = 48
y = 4√3
Read the myth King Midas and the Golden Touch.
In ancient Greece, Midas, king of Phrygia, ruled a very wealthy land. One day, some farmhands brought a captured creature to King Midas. They wanted to know what to do with the creature. King Midas recognized the creature as Silenus, the tutor of Dionysus, god of merrymaking. King Midas ordered the farmhands to set Silenus free. For ten days and nights, King Midas took care of Silenus. Then, King Midas took Silenus back to Dionysus.
Silenus and Dionysus were both very grateful to see one another again. Since King Midas was kind to Silenus, Dionysus offered to give Midas anything he wished. Unfortunately, King Midas made a foolish and greedy decision. He thought of the wealth that his land had and realized that he could have more. He asked Dionysus to give him the ability to touch anything and turn it into gold. Dionysus knew that this gift would bring trouble and heartache.
"Are you sure that is what you wish?" asked Dionysus skeptically.
"I am sure," affirmed King Midas.
Dionysus waved his staff, which had a pinecone on top, and disappeared. King Midas was anxious to experiment with his new ability. On the way back to the palace, Midas touched a twig, and it turned into delicate, pure gold! Midas was ecstatic. He also turned a stone, an apple, and a door into gold. When the king reached the river, he washed his hands to see if his ability would disappear. Instead, the drops of water turned to delicate gold droplets.
King Midas reached his home and immediately ordered a banquet. He feasted with his friends to celebrate the never-ending riches of his kingdom. Regrettably, the king discovered that his golden touch turned food and drink into solid gold. What could the king do? He needed to eat and drink in order to live. Just then, his beautiful daughter came dancing into the banquet hall, celebrating her father's good fortune. When she knelt down before her father, King Midas embraced her. The princess's beating heart stilled, and her warm body turned cold. King Midas shrank away in horror. His daughter was now a gold statue!
King Midas wept golden tears of bitterness and regret. His own foolishness and greed had destroyed his daughter's life and his own. He begged to Dionysus for forgiveness and aid. Dionysus was merciful. He told King Midas to go the source of the Pactolus River and bathe in the water. The water would take away Midas's golden ability and return anything he had touched back to its original form. King Midas quickly set out for the Pactolus River and traveled to its source. He bathed in the river and filled a pitcher with its water. King Midas poured the water over the head of his daughter, and her heart began to beat again. Midas embraced his daughter, grateful that his most precious treasure was alive once again. Since that day, the Pactolus River has contained the gold of King Midas.
Read the myth Cassandra's Wish.
In the ancient city of Troy, there lived a beautiful princess, who was much beloved by Queen Hecuba and King Prima, the last king of Troy. Her name was Cassandra. She was virtuous, loved her city very much, and had a lot of respect for the Greek gods and goddesses.
One day, Apollo, the god of prophecy, noticed Cassandra's extraordinary beauty. He approached the young maiden and offered her a deal. She could have anything she wished in exchange for a kiss. Cassandra was flattered by Apollo's attention and delighted at the possibility of a wish. She immediately agreed to the deal. Her wish was to be able to see the future. Since Apollo was the god of prophecy, he was able to make Cassandra a prophetess. Cassandra was thrilled!
Suddenly, Cassandra had a horrible vision of Troy being destroyed. She was devastated and furious at the revelation that her beloved home would be ruined. What kind of gift had Apollo given her? Apollo demanded that Cassandra kiss him, for she had made a bargain with him. In her fury, Cassandra refused. Apollo was outraged and decided to punish this mortal. Cassandra would still be able to see the future, but no one would believe her predictions. From that day on, the citizens of Troy believed that Cassandra was slightly crazy and didn't believe her prophesies, even though they always came true. Cassandra lived a lonely life, waiting for her city to be destroyed and longing for the days before she had made her foolish wish.

write the diary entry on your four memorable day of lock down
Explanation:
Dear Diary,
These past days were traumatic. Italy is in a total Lockdown because of the Coronavirus, so I’m forced to stay at home, against my will, until the 3rd of May. I miss going out with my friends, to parties or visiting my grandma and spending time with her. However, I’m going to do what I need to do if I want the Coronavirus out of here.
The country was wholeheartedly Locked down, with all the schools closed and people needing to maintain social distances from one another when they are walking or going to the supermarket. However, on a positive note people are starting to wash themselves more often and are generally being more hygienic.
Talking about school, my school decided to do video lessons for a month or so, until this all blows over, anyway. My day in quarantine starts at 7:45 when I wake up and prepare myself for the first lesson at 0815. When the first two lessons are done, at 1005, I have a ten minute break. Then the other two lessons begin and then finish at 1205 and have a lunch break of 30 minutes. Then we have the last two hours and we finish school at 1425, a total of 6 hours a day.
So, my day in quarantine is not that interesting, but I am getting through it.
Bye and see you soon.

During the administration of President Donald Trump, was there an increase or decrease in hatred, or was it only verbal?
Answer:
decrease
Explanation:
Answer:
During the Trump Administration there was unfortunately an increase in hate but it was not a result of the Trump administration. The media spread a lot of misinformation about Trump causing people to dislike him and accuse him and his supporters who actually did research on what he did of being evil and bad. Trump actually did a lot to help America but unfortunately people with misinformation ruined it and made him look like he was hurting America causing a lot of frustration and hate on both sides and opinions.

Read the sentence: "You don't have to reimburse
me for dinner it's my treat."
Which option shows the best place to add a
semicolon to the sentence?
Select one:
The correct answer is D. You don't have to reimburse me for dinner; it's my treat.
Explanation
The semicolon (;) is a punctuation mark made up of a period superimposed on a comma. Experts consider the use of this sign to be subjective. One of its main uses is to separate sentences with semantic relationships, which is used when two sentences are joined without a conjunction. An example of this is "You don't have to reimburse me for dinner; it's my treat" because it is separating two sentences that do not have conjunction that relates them, but that are related. So the correct answer is D. You don't have to reimburse me for dinner; it's my treat.
