Read the following passage from Heart of Darkness carefully before you choose your answer.
(1) "I went to work the next day, turning, so to speak, my back on that station. (2) In that way only it seemed to me I could keep my hold on the redeeming facts of life. (3) Still, one must look about sometimes; and then I saw this station, these men strolling aimlessly about in the sunshine of the yard. (4) I asked myself sometimes what it all meant. (5) They wandered here and there with their absurd long staves in their hands, like a lot of faithless pilgrims bewitched inside a rotten fence. (6) The word 'ivory' rang in the air, was whispered, was sighed. (7) You would think they were praying to it. (8) A taint of imbecile rapacity blew through it all, like a whiff from some corpse. (9) By Jove! I've never seen anything so unreal in my life. (10) And outside, the silent wilderness surrounding this cleared speck on the earth struck me as something great and invincible, like evil or truth, waiting patiently for the passing away of this fantastic invasion.
(11) "Oh, these months! Well, never mind. (12) Various things happened. (13) One evening a grass shed full of calico, cotton prints, beads, and I don't know what else, burst into a blaze so suddenly that you would have thought the earth had opened to let an avenging fire consume all that trash. (14) I was smoking my pipe quietly by my dismantled steamer, and saw them all cutting capers in the light, with their arms lifted high, when the stout man with moustaches came tearing down to the river, a tin pail in his hand, assured me that everybody was 'behaving splendidly, splendidly,' dipped about a quart of water and tore back again. (15) I noticed there was a hole in the bottom of his pail.
The narrator most likely includes the description in sentence 15 ("I noticed ... his pail") to (2 points)
A contrast with the effective business methods he usually observes
B emphasize the general futility of the men's efforts
C foreshadow the complete destruction of the station
D highlight the man's despair, fear, and frustration
E support the description of the man's positive outlook
The narrator most likely includes the description in sentence 15 ("I noticed ... his pail") to emphasize the general futility of the men's efforts. So the option B is correct.
The depiction in paragraph 15 is used by the narrator to highlight how pointless the men's attempts to put out the fire were. The narrator implies that the man's attempt to put out the fire is futile by stating that there is a "hole in the bottom of his pail," since water will continue to leak out of the pail no matter how much he collects.
The men appear to be bewitched and to be roaming aimlessly about the station, and their cries of "ivory" seem to be a desperate cry for redemption. This description serves to highlight the overall sense of hopelessness that permeates the station. So the option B is correct.

3. What theme lesson about human nature or life) is revealed in this short story and for what purpose? In other words, why does Alexie write about this theme, what does he want his readers to know? Help me plzz
Answer: I think the lesson of this story is that we shouldn’t judge people using stereotypes because at the end of the day some people whether they might be different from you or not, will work to achieve their own goals even if they might seem “unrealistic” or “impossible” to you. I think Alex writes about these themes because society has a messed up idea that when other people are different from you, whether it’s sexuality, gender, race, ethnicity, etc., it could be used as a way to degrade a person. I think that he just wants to let his readers know that they should keep working hard to achieve our goals, whether it’s big or small, and not letting anyone tell them otherwise.

In "The Destructors" the boys are members of the Wormsley Common Gang. Of the following choices, which shows best the way they operate?
A "flat" character is one dimensional. "The Destructors" occurs in November. A character that profits from experience and undergoes a change or development is called.
Old Misery was too mean to spend money on his property.
The best choice as to how they operate is c. A character that profits from experience and undergoes a change or development is called.
In The Destructors the boys who make up the Wormsley Common Gang carry out disruptive acts and vandalise Old Misery's home. They act recklessly and disruptively, preferring to demolish and destroy rather than to develop or construct. Their behavior might be interpreted as a manifestation of their desire to defy authority and question social standards. The lads in the narrative may or may not experience a substantial transformation or growth.
They may be affected by their experiences and environment in which they live, but they may not necessarily go through a transformational character arc. Instead, they continue to act destructively consistently throughout the story. On the other side, Old Misery's persona is presented as being stingy and miserly, prioritising conserving money above spending it on maintaining his house. This information sheds light on the lads' decision to attack his home because they regard it as a representation of power and wealth that they want to destroy.

How does Anne view the prospect of a life as a housewife?

She hates the idea and thinks she has more to contribute.
She's not sure whether or not that kind of life is for her.
She loves the idea of settling down and having a family with Peter.
Answer:
C but read below.
Explanation:
If ever there was a mother / daughter conflict it was certainly the one between Anne and her mother.
Anne was very gifted and wanted more than what she saw in her mother and Mrs. Van Dam.
The problem with this question is that at least two of the answers could be chosen. C and B. In the beginning she was very certain that B would be the best way to answer this question. Later on, as she matured, she saw the value of her mother's choices.
So the answer depends largely on which part of the book the reference is being made to. I would pick C because that is her attitude as she matured, but don't be surprised if the answer turns out to be B.
Answer:
She hates the idea and thinks she has more to contribute.
Explanation:
I picked C which is "She's not sure whether or not that kind of life is for her." and it was wrong so the answer must be B.

Answer:

Explanation:
Typically, Sheila works 200 days out of the year, eight hours per day. Her standard labor rate is $40 per hour. She also marks up materials (including motor vehicle expenses) by 20% and bills them to the customer. In a typical year, materials add up to $30,000. As she is entering a new market, Sheila believes that her work will decline to about 1,000 hours next year. She is also planning on quoting slightly lower prices (perhaps at a rate of $35 per hour) in the hopes of gaining market share. Sheila believes she can grow her business to her usual volume in the next year and raise her rates to $40 per hour in the third year. Her hope was to reach 2,000 hours a year within five years, but that might need to change if she decides to take on the plant manager role. I Sheila is wondering if maybe she should look for an opportunity to partner up with an established contractor in the Vancouver region. She believes she can continue to charge $40 an hour this way and still work up to 1,000 hours in the first year. This approach could result in faster growth, with her reaching 2,000 hours in the second year. Of course, there would be the cost of buying into someone else's business. Sheila wants to know if a partnership would be worthwhile if she were to pay $15,000 to buy in. She wants a detailed pros and cons analysis of partnering up with a reputable BC-based contractor and a recommendation 653 AM 2622/06/15
A partnership with a reputable BC-based contractor would be advantageous for Sheila, who charges a labor rate of $40 per hour and marks up materials by 20%. It's because, for her, an investment of $15,000 would pay off in terms of growth in business. Following is a detailed analysis of the pros and cons of partnering up with a reputable BC-based contractor:Advantages:1.
Access to a larger customer base: Partnering with an established contractor would allow Sheila to access a larger customer base. It would enable her to secure more contracts and increase her workload.2. Reduced financial risk: Partnering up with another contractor would lessen the financial risk of entering a new market. Sheila would have access to the partner’s financial resources, reducing the likelihood of running out of cash.3. Access to expert knowledge and skills: Partnering with a reputable contractor in the BC region would enable Sheila to access expert knowledge and skills.
She could learn from the contractor and develop her business skills.Disadvantages:1. Reduced control: Partnering with another contractor may result in reduced control over business decisions. Sheila would have to discuss and agree with the partner on all business decisions, which could lead to disagreements.2. Sharing of profits: Partnering with a contractor would require sharing profits, which could lead to less income for Sheila.3. Cost of buying in: Partnering up with an established contractor would require buying into the contractor’s business, which would be an added expense for Sheila. She would need to ensure that this expense doesn't end up reducing her profit margins.In conclusion, partnering with a reputable contractor in the BC region would be worthwhile for Sheila. The advantages of the partnership would outweigh the disadvantages, and it would enable her to reach her business goals quickly.

What word does "nomadic" modify if it is being used as an adjective in this epigram?
"Old longings nomadic leap,
Chafing at custom's chain
Again from its brumal sleep
Wakens the ferine strain."
Answer:
As used in this epigram, "nomadic" is modifying the noun "longings".
Explanation:
This question is tricky because the word order in the poem is inverted. In English, the adjective is placed before the noun it modifies: beautiful girl, blue sky, bright eyes, etc. But here, the author has chosen to place the adjective "nomadic" after the noun it refers to, which would be "longings". What the epigraph means is that our old nomadic longings, that is, that desire we have to move from one place to another, which we inherited from our ancestors, will burst out if we stay in one place for too long.
