Answer:
I apologize for the confusion, but Alice Walker is not the author of "Everyday Use." The correct author of "Everyday Use" is Alice Walker herself. There isn't an accident mentioned in the story related to Alice Walker's early life. "Everyday Use" is a short story that focuses on themes of heritage, identity, and the tension between tradition and progress. It tells the story of a mother and her two daughters, Dee and Maggie, and their conflicting perspectives on their family's quilts and other objects.
Explanation:
I believe the answer is: B. I select the strongest or the most popular counterargument
In a debate, counterargument is made to give a rebuttal to the statement made by the opposition in order to win the audience.
Which mean that we can either use the strongest counterargument (to make the frame of the opposition's argument crumble) , or the most popular (because audiences tend to relate easier to popular argument)
The correct option is b.
Choose the strongest or most popular counterargument to address in your argument. Avoid the strawman fallacy and utilize counterarguments to demonstrate that you've considered various perspectives. This process strengthens your argument and displays thoroughness in your research.
When it comes to selecting which counterargument to address in your argument, option B is the most accurate and effective strategy. The best practice is to select the strongest or most popular counterargument to address. Counterarguments are not just distractions; instead, they provide an opportunity to strengthen your argument by demonstrating that you have considered opposing viewpoints and can still support your initial claim.
It is essential to avoid the strawman fallacy, which refers to arguing a weaker version of the opposing side's position to make it easier to defeat. This tactic may seem to strengthen your argument, but it ultimately undermines credibility as it misrepresents the opposing side.
An effective response to counterclaims will demonstrate your ability to consider various perspectives and reinforce your thesis while also appealing to the logic and emotions of your readers. Responding to counterclaims also demonstrates your thoughtfulness and thoroughness in research, strengthening your overall argument.

MacGuffin
Noir
A MacGuffin is that object in a film which is critical to the characters, but carries insignificant meaning for the audience.
A MacGuffin, a term introduced and widely used by Alfred Hitchcock is some element which drives the plot. The audience is not very concerned with the specifics of it.
The correct answer is: "People in the community fear becoming similarly shamed."
Indeed, Hester Prynne has been convicted of adultery because of giving birth to a child out of wedlock. This is not only considered a sin by the very religious and Puritan society of her time but a crime under their theocratic laws. Her Scarlett letter is a form of public shaming that completely ostracizes her from her society and most people scorn her for her sin.
What are you doing, you guys? I shouldn’t have to _1_ you at this point in the game!” _2_ by Liza’s scream, the four workers picked up their sanders and returned to their unfinished portions of drywall.”
“We’re two days overdue! That means we’re paying them now!” The worker closest to Liza turned a _3_ of red as she screamed. He knew that Liza’s lecture was not merely _4_ to get the team to work faster; the contractors really were beyond their deadline. Liza was worried for good reason; if the company couldn’t prove that it was capable of _5_, short-notice refurbishing, it would more than likely lose its contract with the city.
Myron, the site foreman, appreciated Liza’s _6_ comments. At least she took the time to explain why the workers needed to labor more quickly. Such practice reminded the workers of just how small the degree of separation was between the company’s success and their paychecks. It also prevented the workers from classifying Liza as an _7_ manager who just wanted to make a profit. If the workers knew that the company was suffering, they knew that their jobs were in jeopardy

The world is too much with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers:
Little we see in Nature that is ours;
We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!1
This Sea that bares her bosom to the moon;
The winds that will be howling at all hours,
And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers;
For this, for everything, we are out of tune;
It moves us not.—Great God! I'd rather be
A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;
So might I, standing on this pleasant lea2,
Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;
Have sight of Proteus3 rising from the sea;
Or hear old Triton4 blow his wreathed horn.
1 favor
2 meadow
3 Greek sea -god who could change his appearance at will
4 Greek sea -god with the head and upper body of a man and the tail of a fish
A.He wishes for Proteus and Triton to destroy the current world so that a new one can be built.
B.He wishes that he had been born a pagan so that he would have learned a different way of seeing nature.
C.He wishes to be a painter so he could paint Greek gods to ease his sadness.
D.He wishes to be a child again so that he could turn to the mythological heroes of his youth.
E.He wishes that Proteus and Titan would make him a pagan and show him the sights of paradise.
Answer:
In the sestet of The World Is Too Much with Us, William Wordsworth proposes to address the problem of people losing respect and connection with nature by wishing to be a pagan, so that he would have learned a different way of seeing nature.The correct answer is B.
Explanation:
I choose B because the speaker clearly wishes he had been into other religions more related with nature in order to see and appreciate it like Proteus and Triton do. The poem literally says that when the speaker says: "Great God! I'd rather be / A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;". In this line he expresses how he thinks the main problem of the poem, which is that humanity has lost its respect for and connection with nature, would be solved. He thinks that because of him being raised the way he did, he as most of his equals is not able to appreciate and connect properly with nature. I chose B because to have been a pagan is the way the speaker finds to address the issue.
