The last leaf. How does the description of the ivy vine in paragraph 18 contribute to the tone of the passage?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

B. It shows the hopelessness of being fragile

Explanation:

Sue looked solicitously  out of the window. What was there to count? There was only a bare, dreary yard to be seen, and the blank side of the brick house twenty feet away. An old, old ivy vine, gnarled and decayed at the roots, climbed half way up the brick wall. The cold breath of autumn had stricken its leaves from the vine until its skeleton branches clung, almost bare, to the crumbling bricks.

The paragraph helps the reader understand that because the vine is so fragile and weak, it can demonstrate the hopelessness of one being very fragile.

Jews were murdered simply because of who they were. This is an example of extreme racism, discrimination and prejudice. How can we stand up against these terrible acts?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

During the Holocaust, the Nazis murdered an estimated six million Jews. These were Jews from across Europe who spoke different languages and had different cultures. Some of them were wealthy and some of them were poor. Some were assimilated and some were Orthodox. What they did have in common was that all of them had at least one Jewish grandparent, which was how the Nazis defined who was Jewish.

The Nazis forced Jews out of their homes, crowded them into ghettos, and then deported them to either a concentration or a death camp. Most died of starvation, disease, overwork, shooting, or gas. After death, their bodies were either dumped into a mass grave or cremated.  

Never in the history of the world had there been such a large-scale, systematic genocide as that conducted by the Nazis during the Holocaust.

Estimating the Holocaust Murders  

Because of the vast numbers of Jews murdered, no one is absolutely sure how many died in each camp, but there are good estimates of deaths by the camp. The same is true about estimates per country.  

There is no single wartime document that estimates the number of Jewish deaths during the Holocaust. Between 1942 and 1943, the Nazis did attempt to compile statistics for their final solution. One copy of that record was captured by the U.S. Army in 1945. By late 1943, however, the German and Axis authorities recognized they were losing the war and had no time to continue counting. Instead, they ramped up the number of deaths and began destroying existing records and evidence of previous mass murders. Total estimates used today are based on postwar studies and research of the existing data.

New Estimates

A study published in 2013 by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, based on a painstaking evaluation of available documents and investigation of 42,000 camps and ghettos, identified that the total number of deaths was almost double the numbers generated shortly after the war.  

In addition to at least 7 million Jews killed, the Axis killed around 5.7 million non-Jewish Soviet citizens, around 3 million non-Jewish Soviet prisoners of war, 300,000 Serb citizens, around 250,000 people with disabilities living in institutions, and around 300,000 Roma (Gypsies). Jehovah's Witnesses, homosexuals, and German political opponents account for at least another 100,000 people. Estimates of the total number of people who died in the Holocaust now range between 15 and 20 million.  

Jews Killed in the Holocaust by Country

The following chart shows the estimated number of Jews killed during the Holocaust by country. Notice that Poland by far lost the largest number (three million), with Russia having lost the second most (one million). The third highest losses were from Hungary (550,000).

Notice also that despite the smaller numbers in Slovakia and Greece, for example, they still lost an estimated 80 and 87 percent, respectively, of their pre-war Jewish populations.

The totals for all countries show that an estimated 58 percent of all Jews in Europe were killed during the Holocaust.

The following figures are estimates based on census reports, captured German and Axis archived records, and postwar investigations. These are the numbers according to the latest investigations by ​The U.S. Museum of the Holocaust.

Albania 200 unknown

C - to let your mind run loose and come up with fresh and creative ideas
D - to gather information on a topic when there’s no time to research

Answers

Answer:

Answer:

A. to determine what you already know about the subject

C. to let your mind run loose and come up with fresh and creative ideas.

Explanation:

"Brainstorming" is a technique that is being used for group activities in order to generate spontaneous solutions and ideas to specific topics. In order to do this, the members will contribute their own ideas without being criticized. This means that brainstorming tries to determine what the members already know about the subject. This makes choice A as one of the purposes.

The members are allowed to think freely and let their mind run loose. Even wild ideas are welcomed in order to drive new perspectives. This makes choice C as one of the purposes.

Write a sentence that
includes an adjective clause beginning with the relative pronoun who.

Answers

Answer:

The team leader who is leading them is my brother.

Explanation:

An adjective clause is a group of words that includes a verb and a subject. Moreover, it modifies a noun or a pronoun, just like an adjective does.

One sentence of an adjective clause beginning with the relative pronoun "who" is-

The team leader who is leading them is my brother.

In the above-given sentence, "the team leader" is the subject while "who is leading them" is the adjective clause. And this adjective clause modifies the noun "team leader".

What is masculine appearance?

Males often have straighter eyebrows and a robust brow bone that protrudes further than that of women. A nose with a gentle curve and a raise at the tip is thought to be more feminine than one that is straight or has a dorsal hump. Lips on men are often thinner.

In Western culture, characteristics like strength, courage, independence, leadership, and aggressiveness are traditionally considered as being associated with men.

Changing your attire is one of the simplest methods to look more manly. wearing standard examples of "masculine attire," like long sleeve shirts, jeans, and suits. Refrain from wearing anything too fanciful or feminine, such as ruffles, floral designs, or nail paint.

Thus, option A is correct.
