Answer: A. The story with the most first-place votes was mine. <--This is the correct answer. 
All other possessive personal pronouns are not in their proper form. Instead of theirs, yours, and its, the sentences used their's, your's, and it's. Only letter A has the correct form of the possessive pronoun--mine.

Consider the poems."She Walks in Beauty"
by George Gordon Byron An excerpt from "To Helen"
by Edgar Allan Poe
She walks in Beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellowed to that tender light Which Heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress, Or softly lightens o'er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet
express,
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek, and o'er that brow, So soft, so calm, yet eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow, But tell of days in goodness spent, A mind at peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent!

Helen, thy beauty is to me Like those Nicean barks of yore, That gently, o'er a perfumed sea, The weary, wayworn wanderer bore To his own native shore.

On desperate seas long wont to roam, Thy hyacinth hair, thy classic face, Thy Naiad airs have brought me home To the glory that was Greece And the grandeur that was Rome.

Lo! in yon brilliant window-niche How statue-like I see thee stand, The agate lamp within thy hand! Ah, Psyche, from the regions which Are Holy Land!

How is Poe’s word choice different than Byron’s?

A. Poe’s description is more grand and worldly than Byron’s.
B. Poe’s description is more calm and soothing than Byron’s.
C. Poe includes more physical description than Byron.
D. Poe confesses more about shortcomings than Byron.

Answers

Answer:

The answer to the question is:

A. Poe’s description is more grand and worldly than Byron’s.

This is because Poe uses words and phrases that evoke a sense of grandeur and worldliness, such as “Nicean barks of yore”, “the glory that was Greece and the grandeur that was Rome”, and “Psyche, from the regions which are Holy Land”. These references suggest that Poe’s speaker admires Helen’s beauty as something that transcends time and space, and connects him to the ancient civilizations and myths.

By contrast, Byron uses words and phrases that evoke a sense of calmness and simplicity, such as “cloudless climes and starry skies”, “mellowed to that tender light”, and “a mind at peace with all below”. These references suggest that Byron’s speaker appreciates the woman’s beauty as something that harmonizes with nature and reflects her inner goodness.

Explanation:

Which of the following best defines the term rhyme scheme in poetry? A. the repetition of initial consonant sounds B. the pattern of end rhymes C. the pattern created by stressed and unstressed syllables D. the use of a connecting word to make a comparison

Answers

The correct answer is B. the pattern of end rhymes. In poetry, the rhyme scheme refers to the pattern of rhymes at the end of each line of a poem. Here is an example form Roberts Frost's poem "Neither Out Far Nor In Deep":

The people along the sand (A)

All turn and look one way (B)

They turn their back on the land (A)

They look at the sea all day (B)

The uppercase letters at the end of each line denote the rhyme. The rhyme scheme in the poem above would be ABAB because line 1 rhymes with line 3 and line 2 with line 4.

It would be your patterns of end rhymes, I believe.

The structure of “Ballad of Birmingham” by Dudley Randall is described best as __________.

Answers

The correct answer for above statement is:

b) elegiac broadside.

Explanation:

Even though it seems too simple, the structure is obtained by ensuring the popular ballad aspects. In the beginning, it has a plot that relates a story which was written in a clear style that renders a reader conjecture the idea with satisfaction. Following point is that this ballad includes a question/answer format, which is the normal thing for such a model. And, to decide, the poetic structure is maintained by four-line stanzas with the second and fourth lines rhyming.
Well, depending on the answers you are given, it could either be a folk ballad or an elegiac broadside. It is based on the traditional English folk ballad, in that it tells a story, doesn't have many characters, has a moral of the story. And finally, an elegiac broadside is a mournful, plaintive ballad. 

The reader learns much about Boswell from his biography of Johnson. Write a brief character sketch of Boswell. Analyze the friendship between the two men and the influence each had on the other. Did their personal relationship compromise or enhance The Life of Samuel Johnson?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

James Boswell was a young man from Edinburgh, although his family wanted him to be a lawyer he knew he was going to be a biographer. His father was a Lord, because he was a judge, so they were named lords and they could choose the place they would be Lords. Sometimes, he was considered as a ridiculous man who luckily met Johnson to write his biography.

They were completely different, Boswell was on his twenties,  came from an aristocrat family, while Johnson was not that young, he was a famous man who came from a humble family. It is said that people are rejuvenated by younger people and this could have happened in the relationship between Boswell and Johnson.    

I told the lady not to __ me by putting a pie on her windowsill, so it’s technically her fault that i ate it.Which word BEST COMPLETES this sentence?
Select one:
a. ALIEN
b. EXPULSION
C. PROLIFERATE
d. DISSOLUTE
e. TANTALIZE

Answers

Answer: The answer is e. tantalize.

Explanation: Tantalize means "to tease or torment someone with something they cannot have." In the context of the sentence, the lady is tantalizing the speaker by putting a pie on her windowsill that the speaker cannot eat because the lady told them not to. The speaker is making a joke, saying that it is technically the lady's fault that they ate the pie because she tempted them with it.

The other answer choices are not as good of a fit for the sentence.

Alien means "from another planet." This word does not make sense in the context of the sentence.

Expulsion means "the act of forcing someone to leave a place." This word does not make sense in the context of the sentence.

Proliferate means "to multiply or spread rapidly." This word does not make sense in the context of the sentence.

Dissolute means "morally lax or dissipated." This word does not make sense in the context of the sentence.
