The correct answer is D. It emphasizes that not being able to learn French will have a major impact on Frantz.

In the given excerpt, Frantz expresses his regret and frustration about his lack of knowledge in French. The use of personification in the phrase "My books, which only a moment before I thought so tiresome, so heavy to carry—my grammar, my sacred history—seemed to me now like old friends, from whom I should be terribly grieved to part" helps to emphasize the emotional connection Frantz feels towards his books and the impact that not being able to continue learning French will have on him.

By personifying the books as "old friends," it highlights Frantz's attachment to them and his realization of their value in his education. The books represent his opportunity to learn and grow, and losing the chance to continue learning French makes Frantz feel a sense of loss and regret. The personification emphasizes the importance of education and the impact it can have on individuals, especially in this case with the imminent change in language instruction.

In the story, the author builds tension through various elements. Let's analyze each option provided and see which one(s) contribute to the tension:

a. Having an internal debate about whether he should go to school: This element does not directly contribute to building tension in the story. Although the author briefly considers skipping school due to being late and the tempting distractions outside, it does not create significant tension.

b. Wondering if Wachter the blacksmith was making fun of him: This moment adds a small degree of tension. The author perceives Wachter's statement as mocking, which creates uncertainty and self-doubt in the protagonist's mind.

c. Admiring the village men who sat in the back of the classroom: While the presence of the village men creates an unusual atmosphere in the classroom, it does not necessarily build tension. It reveals something out of the ordinary but does not directly contribute to a feeling of impending conflict or suspense.

d. Worrying about getting in trouble for being late to school again: This element significantly contributes to building tension in the story. The fear of being scolded by Monsieur Hamel, combined with the anxiety of not being prepared for the exam on participles, creates a sense of anticipation and worry.

Considering these points, the correct option would be:
d. Worrying about getting in trouble for being late to school again
This choice represents the primary source of tension as it highlights the protagonist's fear and the consequences they may face when arriving late to school.

The correct answer is C.

Gore believes that Congress has been inconsistent in its support for clean water legislation, but it has an opportunity to do the right thing.

Let's break down the text to understand why this is correct.

Gore starts the extract by pointing out that it isn't the first time they've extended an invitation to Congress — this indicates that they're attempting to involve Congress in efforts related to the Clean Water Act. The subsequent comment that they spelled out their principles for strengthening the Clean Water Act during President Clinton's first term suggests they believe these principles are still relevant and needed. All of this indicates Gore's belief in Congress's ability to assist in strengthening clean water legislation.

However, Gore follows this by citing the 104th Congress's advancement of legislation that would have weakened the law, calling it the "Dirty Water Bill," which implies Congress's actions have not always been in support of clean water legislation. This showcases the inconsistency in Congress's previous support, as mentioned in option C.

Lastly, Gore talks about asking Congress to abandon dubious property rights bills while advocating for those that protect clean water rights. He is calling upon Congress to act positively again as they did when they passed the Safe Drinking Water Act the previous year. This demonstrates that Gore still sees a potential role for Congress, reaffirming that they have an opportunity to do the right thing.

None of the other answer choices capture all these nuances. The full context in option C best represents Gore's view as reflected in the excerpt.

The correct dictionary definition that matches the use of the word "unison" in the passage is Definition 3:

C. Definition 2
unison (ˈyu nə sən, -zən)
n.
2. the performance of musical parts at the same pitch or at the octave.

In the passage, when it mentions "lessons repeated aloud in unison," it refers to the students reciting their lessons together, speaking at the same pitch or in harmony. The passage describes the scene of chaos and noise at the beginning of the school day, with desks opening and closing and students reciting their lessons simultaneously to learn more quickly. This aligns with the concept of performing musical parts at the same pitch or in unison.

The correct answer is B. "Because of people like Vicki, the Cuyahoga River has been revitalized . . ." (paragraph 4).

This question refers to Vice President Al Gore's point of view regarding the role of individuals in the fight for clean water. The answer lies in discerning which line from the text expresses Gore's viewpoint about the impact that an individual can have on environmental efforts, specifically regarding clean water.

In option B, Vice President Gore particularly acknowledges the impact of a single individual, Vicki, on the revitalization of the Cuyahoga River. He attributes the recovery of the river to Vicki's efforts, and by extension emphasizes the role individuals can play in such improvements. This stands as evidence of his belief in the power that individuals possess in achieving environmental change.

Contrastingly, the other options don't as directly express Gore's viewpoint on the role individuals can play:

Option A only states a fact of Vicki's life, without showing any impact she may have had.

Option C mainly talks about the collaborative efforts of the government and communities, rather than focusing on the role of individuals.

Option D, although it appeals to individuals' concern about their children’s health, doesn't talk about the role individuals might play in achieving clean water.

The correct answer is C. "They appeal to people's emotions, implying that clean water is a community-based need that affects all of us."

In the given excerpt, Al Gore emphasizes the remaining challenges in water pollution, despite the success of the Clean Water Act. He uses emotionally charged phrases such as "dangerous run-offs of toxins and pollutants", "communities that don't have the knowledge or the resources to fully protect their water", and "regions where the wrong kind of development threatens our hard-won progress."

These phrases do not appeal to logic (D), as they don't discuss the complexity of the process; nor do they refer to the bandwagon effect (A), as the statement does not encourage people to join in because others are doing so too. They also don't emphasize growth in the community (B); instead, they highlight the challenges which need to be addressed.

Their main purpose is to trigger an emotional response and make the general public realize the pressing need for clean water in all communities, which affects us all. This emotional appeal is a commonly used persuasive technique, aiming to engage the audience on a deeper, emotional level and persuade them to agree with the speaker's point of view. The use of such language helps to underline the fact that clean water is not just an environmental issue, but a human one that directly affects all communities and their residents.

In paragraph 10, when Gore uses a scriptural passage as a part of his speech, he is using a rhetorical device known as Ethos. Ethos is a Greek word meaning "character" that is used to describe the guiding beliefs or ideals that characterize a community, nation, or ideology.

When a speaker or writer uses ethos, they are appealing to ethics, or the character and credibility of the speaker. They often leverage widely respected sources or values, such as scripture, to lend credibility and moral authority to their argument.

So, the correct answer is D. Ethos. The biblical allusion is not a bandwagon appeal (A) since it does not appeal to the popularity of an idea. It is not logos (B) as it does not appeal to logic or reasoning. Though the scripture can be seen as a figure of speech (C), it is more specifically an appeal to the listeners' ethics, morality or values - making it Ethos (D).

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you did not include the two maps. Without them, we do not know your specific reference.

However, trying to help you and after doing some deep research, we can say the maps portray the Spanish, British, and Dutch trade maritime routes from 1750 to 1850. The other map shows the many trade routes in 2010 that practically crossed all over the world.

That is why we can answer that one significant reason for changes in the patterns of global economic interactions from circa 1750 to circa 2000, as illustrated by the two maps are the technology and modernization of means of transportation that today include land, air, and sea.

Trade has been the activity that has developed most rapidly all over the world in those years. Today, there are international organizations and free trade agreements that connect the world through trade.

More people on the planet started to require more products from all places and developed nations exploited natural resources and raw materials and produced more and better goods in their industrialized cities that were exported.

Explanation:

b. The development of diseases in the sixteenth century would support the arguments of the “new generation of historians in the second paragraph because the “new generation of historians” would look at this in relation to european imperialism and see the impact of the european diseases like smallpox that would plague places like modern day united states because of the european immunity, but lack of native immunity.  

c. The “biological competition” contributed to the European imperialism in the Americas by creating a survival of the fittest environment where the europeans brought in diseases like smallpox that had plagued europe generations ago, but infected the native populations and weaken them in both their numbers and their strength, which enabled the Europeans to take control of the new world and develop a dominance while the natives were fighting a disease. This was “biological competition” because the Europeans' immunity was assisting them in fighting the natives' lack thereof.
