Answer 1
Answer:

B. "Way to go, Sean," the coach shouted. "That was a good run!"

In all of these options the only things that change are the comma before the dialogue tag and the exclamation point. Let's look at the comma first. The first thing the coach says is "Way to go, Sean." Normally there would be a period after Sean. However, because the dialogue is followed by who said it, the period changes to a comma. This shows that the ldialogue is a complete idea or sentence, but also allows the dialogue tag (who said it) to stay with the dialogue. Since the dialogue is punctuated with the comma, the comma needs to stay inside the quotation marks. This is the same reason the exclamation point needs to stay inside the quotation marks. The quotation is what is being exclaimed, not the fact that the coach shouted.

Which word best describes the author's tone in this excerpt from "That Spot" by Jack London?I don’t think much of Stephen Mackaye any more, though I used to swear by him. I know that in those days I loved him more than my own brother. If ever I meet Stephen Mackaye again, I shall not be responsible for my actions. It passes beyond me that a man with whom I shared food and blanket, and with whom I mushed over the Chilcoot Trail, should turn out the way he did. I always sized Steve up as a square man, a kindly comrade, without an iota of anything vindictive or malicious in his nature. I shall never trust my judgment in men again. Why, I nursed that man through typhoid fever; we starved together on the headwaters of the Stewart; and he saved my life on the Little Salmon. And now, after the years we were together, all I can say of Stephen Mackaye is that he is the meanest man I ever knew. A:excited B:ironic C:indignant D:playful

How does the organization of the US government reflect the ideas of Enlightenment philosopher Baron de Montesquieu?

Answers

Answer:

The organization of the US government reflect the ideas of Enlightenment philosopher Baron de Montesquieu in the following way:

The government is divided in three branches

Explanation:

Baron Montesquieu was a French politician and philosophical thinker that believed the power of a nation or a country should be distributed to avoid centralization abuse of authority and corruption. His work "spirit of laws" inspired the founding fathers to create the united states constitution and the government design.
Montesquieu believed that the French should have separated their government's power into three different branches. Each branch would have equal power, but would have a different power to the other individual branches as well. This set up can be seen with the American government as it has the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. 

What makes this excerpt from Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens an example of direct characterization? The elderly female was a woman of wisdom and experience; she knew what was good for children; and she had a very accurate perception of what was good for herself. So, she appropriated the greater part of the weekly stipend to her own use, and consigned the rising parochial generation to even a shorter allowance than was originally provided for them. Thereby finding in the lowest depth a deeper still; and proving herself a very great experimental philosopher.

Answers

Direct characterization is when the author specifically tells the reader the traits of a character. In this excerpt, Dickens tells you that the woman is elderly, wise, experienced and knows what is "good for children". If Dickens had used indirect characterization, he would have need to shown her wisdom and experience by including specific examples. The reader would then be lead to develop his own conclusion about the whether or not the woman was wise and experienced.
