WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!!!Read the excerpt below and answer the question.

The house that surrounds me while I sleep is built on undermined ground; far beneath my bed, the floor, the house’s foundations, the stopes and passages of gold mines have hollowed the rock, and when some face trembles, detaches, and falls, three thousand feet below, the whole house shifts slightly, bringing uneasy strain to the balance and counterbalance of brick, cement, wood, and glass that hold it as a structure around me.

Where is the first place you should see these example in your essay. the hook, the thesis statement, the body paragraph or the conclusion

Answers

In my notes, an essay can be set up in this order:
{I am using the hamburger method}
Each number represents the paragraph and what it contains.

1. The thesis: This speaks about what the essay will be about.
2. Topic Sentence/Supporting Details/Concluding Sentence
3. Number 2 is done at least 2 times, the only difference is that at the beginning of the paragraph you should have a transition sentence.
4. This is the conclusion: in this your thesis (1) is rewritten, you're paragraphs 1-3 (depending how much you wrote) is summarized and you leave the reader with a final thought!

So, to answer your question, you should see those examples in an essay in the same order you put it.

Choose the word that best fills-in the blank. _______ was rampant about whether or not the company was closing.

A. Speculation
B. Morose
C. Proclamation
D. Affluency

Answers

The correct answer is A. speculation.


The word speculation means the same as rumor - and the meaning of this sentence is that there were a lot of rumors about the closing of the company.

B. morose means sullen and gloomy; C. proclamation is an official announcement about something; D. affluency is the state of being rich. As you can see, none of the other options fit the gap above.
It is A because speculation basically means rumours, so it is saying there were a lot of rumours about the company closing.

What is the overall tone of this excerpt from "When We Two Parted" by Lord Byron? A. somber
B. distressful
C. bittersweet
D. joyful

Answers

I have found the excerpt for this question from another source. I will paste it here:

They name thee before me,
A knell to mine ear;
A shudder comes o'er me—
Why wert thou so dear?
They know not I knew thee,
Who knew thee too well:--
Long, long shall I rue thee,
Too deeply to tell.
In secret we met—
In silence I grieve,
That thy heart could forget,
Thy spirit deceive.
If I should meet thee
After long years,
How should I greet thee!--
With silence and tears.

That excerpt from Lord Byron's "When We Two Parted" expresses the narrator's intense sadness from the loss of his love. The poem expresses the bitter pain that comes from the loss, but also the sweetness that comes from the narrator's expectation that they will meet again.

The lines "After long years,/ How should I greet thee!--/ With silence and tears." illustrates the tone of the poem well. There is a bittersweet mood with how he deals with the departure of his love.

ANSWER: C. bittersweet

Answer:

distressful

Answers

Answer:

By reminding the reader of the presence of evil.

Explanation:

The short story "The Mysterious Stranger" is part of the "Tales of a Traveller" written by Washington Irving. The short story is a gothic tale about a mysterious stranger.

In the given excerpt from the story, we can see gothic elements through the imaginary idea of someone behind. The narrator's statement that the stranger's act of glancing every now and then over his shoulder resulted in a painful reaction. This reminds the readers of the possible presence of evil in the scene.
