B.the D-Day invasions
C.the Battle of Stalingrad
D.the Battle of Liberation
Answer: B. the D-Day invasions
The Battle of Normandy lasted from June 1944 to August 1944, and it resulted in the Allied liberation of Western Europe from Nazi control. The battle began on June 6, 1944, and this day came to be known as D-Day. 156,000 American, British and Canadian forces landed in the coast of France, and initiated one of the largest amphibious military assaults in history. This is considered the beginning of the end of the war in Europe.
I have to be able to list the subject/occasion/ audience/tone and I am not able to do that currently because I do not understand the poem.
Why I Could Not Accept Your Invitation
Besides the fact that your event
is coming up in three weeks
on the other side of the world
and you just invited me now,
your fax contained the following phrases:
action-researched oriented initiative
regionally based evaluation vehicles
culture should impregnate all different sectors
consumption of cultural products
key flashpoints in thematic area.
Don’t get me wrong, I love what you are doing,
believing in art and culture,
there, in the country next to the country
my country has recently been devastating
in the name of democracy,
but that is not the language I live in
and so I cannot come.
I live in teaspoon, bucket, river, pain,
turtle sunning on a brick
Forgive me. Culture is everything
Right about now. But I cannot pretend
a scrap of investment in the language
that allows human beings to kill one another
systematically, abstractly, distantly.
The language wrapped around 37,000,
Or whatever the number today,
Dead and beautiful bodies thrown into hole
Without any tiny, reasonable goodbye.

Answer:
To be able to define who the subject is and what the occasion, audience, and tone is, it is strictly important to understand what the poem is about.
Explanation:
The author begins the poem talking about an event she has been invited to. She slightly complains about how the invitation came late since this event is in less than a month and takes place on the other side of the world. But most importantly, her biggest discomfort lays in the content of the fax she received as an invitation. Some of the fax's sentences included how the event's organizers wanted to include culture in their agenda. The speaker doesn't disagree with this statement but also finds it quite hypocritical, because their "cultural view" will always be around pop culture. She continues the poem and stands up for small cultures and countries that are not in the media's sight and therefore, hidden from society. She thinks there are more important things to take care of than assisting to that event
With this in mind, it's not difficult to define the subject, occasion, audience, and tone.
-Subject: (what the poem is about) the point the author is trying to make is that people in our society should get out of their comfort zone and give importance to real problems all around the world.
-Occasion: (time, place and context of the piece) the context could be the 21st century since the poem criticizes how our society conceals big problems in third world countries, for example, and focuses on more mundane and shallow issues.
-Audience: (the readers to whom it is directed) people in western countries who are constantly bombarded by media content.
-Tone: (the author's attitude) would describe the author as polite, direct and raw. Very neutral (not negative nor positive)
Answer:
Atlas is a Titan in Greek mythology who was condemned to sustain the celestial heavens for eternity (he is often portrayed as carrying the world on his back). He was condemned to this punishment after the war of the Titans against the gods of Olympia, as they fought over who would rule the universe. The gods of Olympia won the war and so the titans were punished.

short version to explain is he was a titan who held up the sky

Answer:
Suffixes are additional elements placed at the end of words, consisting of letters or group of letters added at the end in order to change them, turning them into new words, sometimes turning a verb into an adjective and so on, and sometimes even modifying the root of that word; so in English grammar if the word to be change ends with "Y", an "i" is always added in order to use the suffix "-able",
e.g. "rely" will turn into "reliable".
