Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. Read this excerpt from Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens and complete the sent

ences that follow. "What did you say?" inquired Oliver, looking up very quickly. "A regular right-down bad 'un, Work'us," replied Noah, coolly. "And it's a great deal better, Work'us, that she died when she did, or else she'd have been hard labouring in Bridewell, or transported, or hung; which is more likely than either, isn't it?" Crimson with fury, Oliver started up; overthrew the chair and table; seized Noah by the throat; shook him, in the violence of his rage, till his teeth chattered in his head; and collecting his whole force into one heavy blow, felled him to the ground. A minute ago, the boy had looked the quiet child, mild, dejected creature that harsh treatment had made him. But his spirit was roused at last; the cruel insult to his dead mother had set his blood on fire. His breast heaved; his attitude was erect; his eye bright and vivid; his whole person changed, as he stood glaring over the cowardly tormentor who now lay crouching at his feet; and defied him with an energy he had never known before. "He'll murder me!" blubbered Noah. "Charlotte! missis! Here's the new boy a murdering of me! Help! help! Oliver's gone mad! Char—lotte!" […] "Oh, you little wretch!" screamed Charlotte: seizing Oliver with her utmost force, which was about equal to that of a moderately strong man in particularly good training. "Oh, you little un-grate-ful, mur-de-rous, hor-rid villain!" And between every syllable, Charlotte gave Oliver a blow with all her might: accompanying it with a scream, for the benefit of society. Charlotte's fist was by no means a light one; but, lest it should not be effectual in calming Oliver's wrath, Mrs. Sowerberry plunged into the kitchen, and assisted to hold him with one hand, while she scratched his face with the other. In this favourable position of affairs, Noah rose from the ground, and pommelled him behind. In this excerpt, Oliver is presented as . Charlotte is shown to be a woman who is . In the last two paragraphs of the excerpt, the reader is left to infer that Charlotte, Mrs. Sowerberry, and Noah are Oliver.

For users of Plato/Edmentum, I would say the answer is

This excerpt portrays Oliver as a boy who is misunderstood. Charlotte is depicted as a woman persuaded by Noah's assertions. The final two paragraphs indicate that Charlotte, Mrs. Sowerberry, and Noah are overreacting to Oliver.

What evidence from the passage best supports the inference that white sugar was rarer and more valuable than brown sugar? Select
hammer [2711]

Answer:

B. "The kind of sugar easiest to produce from cane is dark"

D. "wanted it to be as pure, sweet, and white as possible"

Explanation:

This information most convincingly suggests that white sugar was not only less common but also more valuable than brown sugar. If producing dark or brown sugar is simpler, it logically follows that its value would be lower. The description of white sugar as pure and sweet elevates its worth above that of brown sugar.

write an informative essay on a greek mythical character. your essay will use research to summarize the plot of the myth and exp
hammer [2711]

Answer:

Hercules.

Explanation:

In Greek mythology, Hercules is a legendary figure. He is recognized as a demi-god, the offspring of Zeus—the thunder god and sovereign of Mount Olympus. Hercules, being part man and part divine, exemplifies heroism and masculinity, renowned as the greatest among the Greek heroes, having also vanquished Hector, the strongest and most courageous warrior in the Trojan War.

Endowed with extraordinary physical strength and virile prowess with both genders, Hercules also possessed wisdom, often using intellect in situations where brute strength didn't suffice.

He was despised by Hera, Zeus's wife, because Zeus had an affair with the mortal Alcmene, disguising himself as her spouse. Hera's animosity was so intense that she conspired to eliminate Hercules at birth, enlisting the aid of Ilithiya, the goddess of childbirth, but her plan failed.

Initially named Alcides by his human parents, he later became known as Hercules. This renaming aimed to placate Hera following her attempt with large snakes to kill him and his twin when they were infants.

Ultimately, Hera succeeded in driving Heracles to madness, resulting in him slaying his own children.

To atone for these murders, he was tasked with accomplishing twelve labors by Eurystheus, his adversary. Despite successfully completing the ten, Eurystheus rejected two, requiring him to perform two additional ones, which Hercules managed effortlessly. He was absolved of his sins and granted eternal life.
