ENGLISH HIGH SCHOOL

PLEASE HELP!! Read the excerpts from John Dryden's poem Annus Mirabilis. Which lines refer to the great fire that swept through the city of London in 1666?Yet like an English general will I die,
And all the ocean make my spacious grave:
Women and cowards on the land may lie;
The sea's a tomb that's proper for the brave.

Restless he pass'd the remnant of the night,
Till the fresh air proclaimed the morning nigh:
And burning ships, the martyrs of the fight,
With paler fires beheld the eastern sky.
...
Her flag aloft spread ruffling to the wind,
And sanguine streamers seem the flood to fire;
The weaver, charm'd with what his loom design'd,
Goes on to sea, and knows not to retire.

With roomy decks, her guns of mighty strength,
Whose low-laid mouths each mounting billow laves;
Deep in her draught, and warlike in her length,
She seems a sea-wasp flying on the waves.
...
The distance judged for shot of every size,
The linstocks touch, the ponderous ball expires:
The vigorous seaman every port-hole plies,
And adds his heart to every gun he fires!
. . .
But ah! how insincere are all our joys!
Which, sent from heaven, like lightning make no stay;
Their palling taste the journey's length destroys,
Or grief, sent post, o'ertakes them on the way.
. . .
Now down the narrow streets it swiftly came,
And widely opening did on both sides prey:
This benefit we sadly owe the flame,
If only ruin must enlarge our way.

Answer: Her flag aloft spread ruffling to the wind,

Read this excerpt from act III, scene I, of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet: ROMEO: This gentleman, the prince's near ally, My very friend, hath got his mortal hurt In my behalf; my reputation stain'd With Tybalt's slander,—Tybalt, that an hour Hath been my kinsman! O sweet Juliet, Thy beauty hath made me effeminate And in my temper soften'd valour's steel! What is the central idea of the excerpt? Romeo blames falling in love with Juliet as the cause of Mercutio’s death. Romeo blames Tybalt’s hatred towards the Montagues as the cause of Mercutio’s death. Romeo blames his own cowardice and refusal to fight as the cause of Mercutio’s death. Romeo blames Mercutio’s impulsiveness as the cause of Mercutio’s death. Romeo blames Benvolio’s inability to stop the fight as the cause of Mercutio’s death.

Answers

 Well if the excerpt is translated to modern speech can you understand it better ROMEO This gentleman Mercutio, a close relative of the Prince and my dear friend, was killed while defending me from Tybalt's slander- Tybalt, who had been my cousin for a whole hour! Oh sweet Juliet, your beauty has made me weak like a woman, and you have softened my bravery, which before was as hard as steel

Select the sentence that is punctuated correctly A I wanted tuna fish for lunch, however the cafeteria didn't have any today.
b I wanted tuna fish for lunch; however, the cafeteria didn't have any today.
C I wanted tuna fish for lunch,however; the cafeteria didn't have any today.

Answers

The answer is probably B. This is because, the punctuation ; is used mostly for explanations. In option B, the punctuation explains why the speaker did not have tuna for lunch. The comma is put in front of 'However' because, wherever the word 'however' is used, a comma must be placed in front of it. Example: I wanted to play football today; however, my dad didn't let me. Hope i helped.
