Which sentence in the excerpt best supports the theme of harmonious living?

A Spark Neglected Burns the House

by Leo Tolstoy (adapted excerpt)



There once lived in a village a peasant named Iván Stcherbakóf. He was comfortably off, in the prime of life, the best worker in the village, and had three sons all able to work. The eldest was married, the second about to marry, and the third was a big lad who could mind the horses and was already beginning to plough. Iván's wife was an able and thrifty woman, and they were fortunate in having a quiet, hard-working daughter-in-law. There was nothing to prevent Iván and his family from living happily. They had only one idle mouth to feed; that was Iván's old father, who suffered from asthma and had been lying ill for seven years. Iván had all he needed: three horses and a colt, a cow with a calf, and fifteen sheep. The women made all the clothing for the family, besides helping in the fields, and the men tille

Answers

Answer 1

Incomplete question. The remaining part of the excerpt reads;

"The women made all the clothing for the family, besides helping in the fields, and the men tilled the land. They always grain enough of their own to last over beyond the next harvest and sold enough oats to pay the taxes and meet their other needs. So I  and his children might have lived quite comfortably had it not been for a feud between him and his next-door neighbor, Limping Gabriel  son of Gordéy Ivánof.

As long as old Gordéy was alive and Iván's father was still able to manage the household, the peasants lived as neighbors should. If the women of either house happened to want a sieve or a tub, or the men required a sack, or if a cart-wheel got broken and could not be met once they used to send to the other house, and helped each other in a neighborly fashion. When a calf strayed into the neighbor's  thrashing-ground, they would just drive it out, and only say, "Don't let it get in again: our grain is lying there." And such things as locking the barns and outhouses, hiding things from one another, or backbiting were never thought of in those days.

That was in the fathers' time. When the sons came to be at the head of the families, everything changed."

Answer:

"So I  and his children might have lived quite comfortably had it not been for a feud between him and his next-door neighbor, Limping Gabriel  son of Gordéy Ivánof..."

Explanation:

The theme of harmonious living is made evident by the above statement made by Iván. We need to remember that to live hamoniously involves having a life free of disagreements.

However, as stated by Ivan achieving that kind of harmonious life (free of disagreemennts) was'nt possible because of "a feud between him and his next-door neighbor."

Answers

The main message of this passage is that even though we might feel like there is silence, there is always our thoughts that aren't quiet.

Explanation:

When Jack London explains the setting as " the lone and silent land," it shows that there is really nothing that could cause harm to the character. As London goes on in the passage, he begins to describe " the hunting cries..." and how "they sent surges of fear through the toiling dogs." This represents the thoughts of everyday people and the fear of the unknown. London then goes on to say " I wisht they'd strike game somewheres, an' go away an' leave us alone." "They do get on the nerves horrible." These quotes represent the racing thoughts of the two characters, Bill and Henry, and how, even in the silence of the night, their thoughts are still heard loud and clear in their heads about the possible creatures that lurk in the dark.

"The paperwork you have submitted is late. Consequently it is null and _____, therefore your claim is ____."
A) correct - approved
B) irrelevant - delayed
C) valid - noteworthy
D) void - forfeited​

Answers

Answer:

D.

Don't ask me why, I just know it's D.

The paperwork you have submitted is late. Consequently, it is null and void therefore your claim is forfeited. hence the option d is correct.

What is the meaning of void and forfeited?

The meaning of void means that it is not enforceable by law and the forefieted means the parties might have to cancel it.

Since the paperwork which needs to be submitted is late due to this it is considered as the void and the forefeited.

hence the option d is correct.

The school treasury at Midway High, as a result of several successful fundraisers, has increased, even though it is below the amount needed to buy furniture for the student lounge.

Which is the most effective revision of this sentence?

Answers

Answer:

As a result of several successful fundraisers, the school treasury at Midway High has increased, yet it is still below the amount needed to buy furniture for the student lounge.

Explanation:

The options you were given are the following:

As a result of the school treasury at Midway High increasing because of several successful fundraisers, it is still below the amount needed to buy furniture for the student lounge. As a result of several successful fundraisers, the school treasury at Midway High is below the amount needed to buy furniture for the student lounge. As a result of being below the amount needed to buy furniture for the student lounge, several successful fundraisers has increased the school treasury at Midway High. As a result of several successful fundraisers, the school treasury at Midway High has increased, yet it is still below the amount needed to buy furniture for the student lounge.

When revising the given sentence, we need to be careful about the cause-effect relationship shown in it. The fundraisers are the reason why the school treasury increased. Despite that, there is not enough money for the furniture. The last version of the original sentence is the only one that has that exact meaning.

The first and the second one versions are incorrect because it seems as if the treasury increasing and the fundraisers are why there is not enough money. The third is also incorrect, because it turns out that the lack of money is why the fundraisers have increased the school treasury.

This leaves us with the last option as the only one that makes sense.

Answers

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Why might Shirley Jackson’s short story "The Lottery" have been unpopular with so many readers when it was first published in the New Yorker in 1948? Select all answers that apply.

1) the use of an idyllic rural setting in a small village juxtaposed with ruthless violence was unsettling to many people.

2) many people believed that Shirley Jackson was not a good writer.

3) the notion that violence and brutality are permissible if they are part of a long-standing tradition was unsettling and even offensive to many people.

4) most people in New York were not fans of short stories as they preferred to read novels.

5) the idea that a woman could actually be killed was unbelievable and outrageous in 1948.

Answer:

Since the instructions tell us to choose all answers that apply, I believe we should go with:

1) the use of an idyllic rural setting in a small village juxtaposed with ruthless violence was unsettling to many people.

3) the notion that violence and brutality are permissible if they are part of a long-standing tradition was unsettling and even offensive to many people.

Explanation:

The short story "The Lottery", by Shirley Jackson, was not well received by the public back in 1948, when it was first published.

At first, the author describes the peaceful and small rural village where a lottery is about to take place. The villagers all know one another; they all seem to be good friends, talking cordially and politely. Readers are not given any hints about the violence that will ensue with the exception of one: the children are collecting and making a pile of stones. Still, this is not enough for most readers to assume the stones will have such an important role in connection to the result of the lottery. They will be used to kill the person whose name is drawn.

Throughout the story and, again, without revealing much about what will happen, the author makes it very clear that this lottery is a tradition in the village. There seems to be some sort of superstition behind it that is never fully explained. Because it has been done for such a long time, the villagers seem to accept it as something unchangeable.

Therefore, we can see how both the setting and tradition in association with the violence and brutality of stoning someone to death might have been utterly upsetting for readers.

Tyrants are infamous for using oppressive tactics to maintain their positions, yet even if they are not they may nevertheless frequently be represented as harsh.
