Why is the little boy referred to as “it” in the final sentence of the story: “and they carried it-the man, the wife, the hysterical trusted housemaid, and the weeping gardener-into the house?” Group of answer choices This reference indicates that the little boy is being compared to a wounded animal This reference indicates that all of the people in the suburb have lost their humanity This reference indicates that everyone has lost all respect for the little boy after he creeps into the “shining coiled tunnel” without permission This reference indicates that the little boy has been cut up and disfigured by the barbed wire to such an extent that he is no longer recognizable

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

This reference indicates that the little boy has been cut up and disfigured by the barbed wire to such an extent that he is no longer recognizable.

Explanation:

Nadine Gordimer's short story "Once Upon A Time," tells the story of a certain white family in Apartheid South America trying to stay safe and secure from the 'outside' disturbance. The story includes themes of racism in the characterization of the white family and the "trusted housemaid".

Before the incident, all characters were specifically labeled in their respective genders including the "trusted housemaid". But after the young boy attempts to play out "Sleeping Beauty" and got stuck in the "razor-bladed coils", he is referred to as "it". This is because the damage to his little, fragile body, "the bleeding mass of the little boy" is too much, too disfigured, and cut up to the point that he seems almost unrecognizable.  

Thus, the correct answer is the last option.

Write two numbers that multiply to the value on top and add the value on bottom.

Answers

Answer:

The numbers are:

3 and 9

Explanation:

3 x 9 = 27

3 + 9 = 12

When 3 multiplies 9, it will give 27 which is at the top. Also, if the same 3 adds 9, it will result to 12 which is at the bottom.

Therefore, the numbers are 3 and 9.

Answers

How should the verb travel be written in the sentence above?
OA. Travels



Answer:

are traveling

The subject of the sentence, "Tina's uncles," is plural, so the verb must be plural. The correct verb is are traveling. Remember, the phrase with commas around it is not part of the subject and should not change the verb from singular to plural or from plural to singular.

There are rivers
that I know,
born of ice and
melting snow,
white with rapids,
swift to roar,
with no farms
along their shore,
with no cattle
come to drink
at a staid
and welcoming brink,
with no millwheel,
ever turning,
in that cold
relentless churning.
Only deer
and bear and mink
at those shallows
come to drink,
only paddles,
swift and light,
flick that current
in their flight.
I have felt
my heart beat high,
watching
with exultant eye,
those pure rivers
which have known
no will, no purpose
but their own.

Radar works by sending out electromagnetic energy at a particular wavelength and receiving a reflected signal from distant objects, similar to a sound echo. Many modern military aircraft have what is known as “stealth technology” that allows the aircraft to be invisible to enemy radar. What statement best explains how this is possible?

A. The coating on the aircraft is highly reflective.


B. The coating on the aircraft absorbs incoming light energy.


C. The aircraft is extremely fast, allowing it to outrun the enemy radar.


D. The aircraft has a very rounded shape that refracts incoming light energy.

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is B

Explanation:

Ordinary aircrafts are coated with materials that are highly reflective; reflecting incoming electromagnetic signal/wave/energy back to the radar antenna. The round shape of ordinary aircrafts also does the same thing. However, stealth technology uses coatings that absorbs radiated energy (instead of reflecting it) and converts it to heat. It also changes the rounded shape of aircrafts into flat surfaces with very sharp edges which reflects waves in directions away from the radar antenna.

Distracted driving is any activity that diverts attention from driving, including talking or texting on your phone, eating and drinking, talking to people in your vehicle, fiddling with the stereo, entertainment or navigation system — anything that takes your attention away from the task of safe driving.

Texting is the most alarming distraction. Sending or reading a text takes your eyes off the road for 5 seconds. At 55 mph, that's like driving the length of an entire football field with your eyes closed.

You cannot drive safely unless the task of driving has your full attention. Any non-driving activity you engage in is a potential distraction and increases your risk of crashing.

February 26, 2002: My father, Tyler, proposed to my mother, Marie, and soon had a honeymoon in Cuba.

(This date is important because my parents are two of the most important people in my life and their marriage solidified our family.)

July 2, 2003: I said my first word, "Mama". My father wasn't happy.

(This date is important because, since then, my vocabulary grew vast and my sister now knows that I'm the favorite.)

December 20, 2018: I bought my first car with the money I saved from working over-time.

(This date is important because having my own car gave me a strong sense of independence, especially since I bought it with my own earnings.)

May 10, 2019: I completed my exams with very high scores and graduated from high school a month later.

(This date is important because I studied every week for months leading up to my exams, so scoring well and graduating was a huge accomplishment.)
