Based on the excerpt, which is the most reasonable plot prediction?
Answer:
The execution will begin.
Explanation:
In these lines, we are never actually told that an execution is about to take place. However, we can assume this from the details in the excerpt. The man tells us that he wants to free his hands. He also tells us that a noose is waiting for him, and that he is planning to scape. Towards the end of the paragraph, we learn that the captain nodded and the sergeant stepped aside, which most likely indicates that the execution will begin.
Answer:
1. Reading this text will make people aware of the effect a pandemic can have on the existence and continuity of languages.
2. This text is worth reading because the issues raised in it are universal and affect every community in the world that speaks an indigenous language. India, Brazil, and Peru were some countries listed that were affected by the issues raised. Many more are affected.
3. A reader would come to realize the importance of language and the need for its continuity. The point is that, when a language is lost, concepts, ways of reasoning, subtle variations, history, songs, traditions, etc., are lost.
Explanation:
This article by Terrence McCoy is an eye-opener to the fact that since the pandemic affected mostly older people with weak immunity, the death of these old ones would also affect their roles and responsibilities as custodians of language and culture.
1. The article says that Aritana Yawalapiti was 71 years old when he died of the corona virus disease. He spoke five languages and his death means that all five languages are gone with him.
2. Language is unique to every tribe and region and since the pandemic affected the world, the language loss would also affect most languages in the world so it is important that everyone reads this article so as to see ways to salvage their language from extinction.
3. This article is very beneficial as it shows the importance of language and why it should be preserved.
The long-worthy atheling, sat very woful,
Suffered great sorrow, sighed for his liegemen,
When they had seen the track of the hateful pursuer,
The spirit accursèd: too crushing that sorrow,
Too loathsome and lasting."

[3] But when the sun was getting low and everything seemed most bewildering and discouraging, I found beautiful Calypso on the mossy bank of a stream, growing not in the ground but on a bed of yellow mosses in which its small white bulb had found a soft nest and from which its one leaf and one flower sprung. The flower was white and made the impression of the utmost simple purity like a snowflower. No other bloom was near it, for the bog a short distance below the surface was still frozen, and the water was ice cold. It seemed the most spiritual of all the flower people I had ever met. I sat down beside it and fairly cried for joy.
Select two words or phrases from the text that demonstrate Muir's scientific approach to nature.
"most bewildering"
"bed of yellow mosses"
"small white bulb"
"utmost simple purity"
"cried for joy"
Answer:
"Most bewildering," "small white bulb"
Explanation:
I found the answer by using answer elimination. For "most bewildering," we can see that Muir is questioning the flower and looking at it carefully. This is a step of the scientific method, asking questions and making observations.
As for "bed of yellow mosses," I found this to be written in a more poetic way. This is a metaphor, saying the moss is a 'bed of moss.' There is definitely nothing scientific about that observation.
"Small white bulb" is descriptive. There is nothing fancy or exciting about that phrase, it is simply describing it the way it is, much as a scientist would. It sounds to me like a passage from a book on botany.
When I read "utmost simple purity," I found this as a somewhat religious observation. If not, it would surely be a poetic attempt, to romanticize the flower.
"Cried for joy" would not be a scientific observation. Never have I heard a researcher state that they cried for joy upon realizing that the effects of too much caffeine cause hallucinations. This would be a distraction from the study and has no place except in a seperate interview.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
The right answer is: "bed of yellow mosses" and "small white bulb".
