Which word means 'to avenge'?
Rake
Reek
Wreak
Wreck
Answer:
Wreak
Explanation:
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Wreak
Explanation:
As a verb, reek means to have a strong, offensive odor or to emit or give off (steam, smoke, fumes, etc.). The noun reek refers to a vapor or fume, or to a strong smell or stench. The verb wreak means to cause or bring about (harm or havoc) or to inflict (punishment or vengeance)
To wreck something means to completely destroy or ruin it. He wrecked the garden. A coalition could have defeated the government and wrecked the treaty.His life has been wrecked by the tragedy...missed promotions, lost jobs, wrecked make.
Freebase. Rake. A rake, short for rakehell, is a historic term applied to a man who is habituated to immoral conduct, frequently a heartless womanizer. Often a rake was a prodigal who wasted his fortune on gambling, wine, women and song, incurring lavish debts in the process.
Wreak stems from the Old English wrecan, meaning "to avenge." Its current meaning, that of causing something to happen — usually with dire consequences — came about in the 19th century. The word is a transitive verb, often paired with the equally intense havoc, meaning "devastation.

is Writing a script should be the first thing to do when making a documentary?
I would assume it depends on what kind of documentary is being recorded. But ideally, no. It would be better for the filming to occur and then a narrator's script to be written after all of the filming. That way, all of the filming is genuine quotations and isn't scripted.

Pretend that your local school board is considering cutting the study of world literature from the school curriculum. Keeping in mind what you have learned about persuasive writing, state whether you believe this is a good idea, and then briefly describe one argument you would make to support your belief.
Answer:
What makes our heart moving? What else could it be except arts including literature? In a technology-driven world today, it is often thought that scientific subjects will be more important than arts subjects, but what makes us different from robots and machines? It is that we have feeling and emotion, and literature nurtures these mental values for us. The ultimate goal of education is not only offering us academic knowledge but also teaching us about mental responsibilities such as respect for older generation, so that students can become well-rounded citizens. If world literature is cut from school curriculum, it will be a great loss because good mental values from all around the globe will not be passed through young generation anymore.

A novel recounts the tale of a handsome and sophisticated outcast who wins the heart of the elegant daughter of a leading family. From which literary period does this novel likely come? A. Realism B. Naturalism C. Postmodernism D. Romanticism
Answer:
The literary period is most likely: D. Romanticism.
Explanation:
The artistic movement known as Romanticism started at the same historical moment as the French Revolution. As a consequence, literature was greatly influenced by the Revolution and what it accomplished.
The Romantic hero is an outcast, a man rejected by society and who also rejects society himself. He focuses on the self, on his inner struggles, and his thoughts are given more importance than his actions. It is common for him to be isolated to some extent, often due to past mistakes or hardships that still influence his lifestyle and need for introspection.
It is important to note that women were idealized in Romantic literature. They often came from wealthy families - there were some exceptions, though - and their love is usually the driving force behind the Romantic hero's actions. Women in Romantic literature were often described as perfect, having their traits and qualities overemphasized.
Having that explanation in mind, we can safely say that the story of the handsome outcast who wins the heart of the daughter of a leading family most likely belongs to Romanticism.

What’s the proper way to say “ain’t you got nobody”?
Answer:
Don't you have anyone ?
or
Don't you have anyone else ?
Explanation:
Answer:
You have nobody, don't you? or
Explanation:
It wouldn't be don't you have nobody? because technically without contractions it would mean do you not have nobody?, which is a double negative sentence, which is grammatically incorrect. So, 'You have nobody, don't you? means the same thing as 'You have nobody, do you not?, which is grammatically correct because it isn't a double negative like the first one. It's stating that you have nobody, and then asking if that statement is correct.

PLS HELPPPPP When the egwugwu destroy Mr. Smith’s church, "for the moment the spirit of the clan was pacified" (Ch. 22). Explain what the ironic implications of this statement are, since we learn the title of the book that the District Commissioner intends to write: The Pacification of the Primitive Tribes of the Lower Niger (Ch. 25).
Answer:
Euphemism that ¨backfires¨ and produces irony.
Explanation
The Pacification of the Primitive Tribes of the Lower Niger
is a euphemism for using whatever force it takes to control and suppress other peoples. It backfires because the same word Pacification is used to describe a violent (non-pacific) event, by the same people who are supposed to be pacified by force, that lead surprisingly to for the moment the spirit of the clan was pacified.
