Answer:
The children were at play, pretending to be knights with their tin foil lances.
Explanation:
The word play's definitions include:
1. verb. engage in activity for enjoyment and recreation rather than a serious or practical purpose.
2. verb. take part in (a sport).
3. noun. activity engaged in for enjoyment and recreation, especially by children.
4. noun. the conducting of an athletic match or contest.
'I like to play soccer with my friends.'
In this sentence, 'play' is being used as taking part of a sport, which is definition 2. Now, all you need to do is take another definition and write a sentence with it used in a different context.
'The children were at play, pretending to be knights with their tin foil lances.'
The second part is to include context clues to help the reader determine which definition of 'play' is being used. I'm using the third definition in this sentence, but you can use a different one. I could just leave the sentence without the dependent clause, 'The children were at play.', but it leaves much unclear about what the children were doing. 'pretending to be knights with their tin foil lances.' is just clarification.
This helps the reader determine the correct definition. First, you can determine that play is being used as a noun because of the 'at' in front of it. 'The children were at play'. The dependent clause tells you what exactly the children are doing, pretending to be knights. Pretending is not a sport, so by the process of elimination, you can establish that the third definition is the correct one.
Best of luck

"Instinct is a no match for reason." What do you think about
this quote? Do you agree? Explain your thoughts. From the most dangerous game.
I agree with this quote because you can’t blame everything on instinct. You can’t have instinct as your reason why you did what you did. Sometimes if you say it was instinct it might’ve really been instinct and that’s fine, but you can’t blame everything you do on instinct.

A LETTER ABOUT THE BAD CONDITION OF A ROAD
Dear Sir,
I am writing this letter to your notice the bad condition of the 1st lane. For the last four months the road has been almost impassable. We have made several complaints. But the road has been neglected for a long time. The surface of the road is broken by the heavy rains. There are heaps of road metal on both sides of the road. They leave only little room in the middle. The side rains are blocked and the water flows out slowly. So the road get flooded even after a slight rain. There are potholes on the road. The broken culvert is also a danger for vehicles specially at night. This road serves a large number of houses in this area. There is a lot of traffic along the road at any time of the day. So we are grateful to you if you taken action to repair the road.
Sincerely,
Janaka Kumara

Read this short passage and answer the question below:
Excerpt from The War of the World
By H. G. Wells
A singularly appropriate phrase it proved. Yet the next day there was nothing of this in the papers except a little note in the Daily Telegraph, and the world went in ignorance of one of the gravest dangers that ever threatened the human race. I might not have heard of the eruption at all had I not met Ogilvy, the well-known astronomer, at Ottershaw. He was immensely excited at the news, and in the excess of his feelings invited me up to take a turn with him that night in a scrutiny of the red planet. In spite of all that has happened since, I still remember that vigil very distinctly: the black and silent observatory, the shadowed lantern throwing a feeble glow upon the floor in the corner, the steady ticking of the clockwork of the telescope, the little slit in the roof—an oblong profundity with the stardust streaked across it. Ogilvy moved about, invisible but audible. Looking through the telescope, one saw a circle of deep blue and the little round planet swimming in the field. It seemed such a little thing, so bright and small and still, faintly marked with transverse stripes, and slightly flattened from the perfect round. But so little it was, so silvery warm—a pin’s head of light! It was as if it quivered, but really this was the telescope vibrating with the activity of the clockwork that kept the planet in view. As I watched, the planet seemed to grow larger and smaller and to advance and recede, but that was simply that my eye was tired. Forty millions of miles it was from us—more than forty millions of miles of void. Few people realize the immensity of vacancy in which the dust of the material universe swims
How does the story’s setting influence the plot?
A) The image of the planet creates a feeling of uncertainty.
B) The description of the room foreshadows coming danger.
C) The shadows in the room predict unforeseen events.
D) The simplicity of the equipment shows man’s lack of knowledge.

Why don't the people of the parish ask Mr. Hooper why he is wearing the veil? What do the members of the delegation sent to inquire mean when they report back to their constituents that the "matter [is] too weighty to be handled, except by a council of the churches, if, indeed, it might not require a general synod"?
This question is about the book "The Minister’s Black Veil"
Answer and Explanation:
1. There are several reasons for this, although none is explicit in the book, we can make several interpretations about why people do not ask about Mr. Hooper's black vein. First, the population does not ask about it, because Hooper does not open up to it and does not answer when someone has the courage to ask. A second reason is that the population understands that the veil has a strong connection with sin and when asking Hooper about the veil they would allow their own sins to be pointed out and that would discourage them.
2. They mean that the use of Hooper's black vein was something very unusual and dark that caused discomfort, but that it was having positive results as it attracted believers to the church and made them convert. This made the veil something very contradictory and that would need a lot of attention to be interpreted, discussed and resolved.

in at least 100 words, discuss why President Kennedy employed the rhetorical techniques used in his Rice Stadium Moon Speech.....
NEED HELP ASAP..................................
Answer & Explanation:
Rhetorical techniques are important when trying to convince someone to do something. In Kennedy's Rice Stadium Moon Speech, he is trying to convince the students at the university and the larger audience to support a space program. When trying to convince these people that a space program was worthwhile, it was helpful for Kennedy to use rhetorical techniques.
___________________________________________________I AM ALWAYS HAPPY TO HELP :)Answer:
Throughout President Kennedy's Rice Stadium Moon Speech, he uses a number of rhetorical features and techniques in order to create a connection between himself and his audience of college students. He uses alliteration, allusions to people such as William Bradford, anaphoras, emotional words, and antitheses. The goal of this entire speech was to convince the students at the Rice Stadium to give their help in funding the exploration of space. His speech was made strong by the rhetorical techniques he utilized, using an informal tone to make the audience comfortable with him, and stating that he is grateful for the students being there. Hence, he was able to successfully persuade the students at Rice Stadium to contribute to this cause.

Read the following poem and answer the question that follows. (help)
"I Like to See it Lap the Miles" by Emily Dickinson
I like to see it lap the miles,
And lick the valleys up,
And stop to feed itself at tanks;
And then, prodigious, step
Around a pile of mountains,
And, supercilious, peer
In shanties by the sides of roads;
And then a quarry pare
To fit its sides, and crawl between,
Complaining all the while
In horrid, hooting stanza;
Then chase itself down hill
And neigh like Boanerges;
Then, punctual as a star,
Stop—docile and omnipotent—
At its own stable door.
This poem describes a train as if it were a horse. Which lines uses imagery to describe the train arriving at the station for the night?
A:"And stop to feed itself at tanks"

C:"Complaining all the while"
D:"Then, punctual as a star,"
Answer:
The answer would be "At its own stable door"
Explanation:

In what way does the following line from James Joyce's "Araby" contribute to the symbolism of the story?
She was waiting for us, her figure defined by the light from the half-opened door.
A.
Mangan's sister's attractive figure symbolizes the better life the narrator expects when he is older and has escaped his dark neighborhood.
B.
The light mentioned here works symbolically with the "half-opened door" motif to suggest the narrator's confusion about what path to take in life.
C.
Mangan's sister is associated with light in the story's imagery because she is part of the narrator's hopes for a greater life.
D.
The partial light reflects the sense of balance that the narrator seeks but finds missing in his "blind" street and dark neighborhood.
E.
Mangan's sister, who is half-cloaked in light, symbolizes the dark buildings and bright lights of the enchanting East.
Answer:
I'd say the answer is choice C.
Explanation:
Given the provided information I'm assuming the narrator find Mangan's sister as a goal or an idol of sorts who they see hope wisdom and in this case, light. Light can be used as Mangan's sister's symbolism of great, or ideal.
When the narrator see's the sister he/she/they is reminded of light and goodness.
Hope this helps! ^^

What tone or attitude toward the characters does the author's use of third-
person omniscient point of view create?(from how to become a writer by hellen keller)
This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.
Read "For the Love of the Dance"
What tone or attitude toward the characters does the author's use of third-person omniscient point of view create?
A. Lack of interest in any particular character
B. Sympathy for the experiences of both the boy and the girl
C. Exasperation at the problems of teenagers
D. Amusement at the emotions of all the characters
Answer: B. Sympathy for the experiences of both the boy and the girl
Explanation:
The third-person omniscient point of view means that the narrator is not a character of the story but an external voice, and he refers to the boy, the girl, and the instructor in the third person and he sees the thoughts of all of them. In this case, the tone chosen by the narrator displays the events in such a way that the reader can feel sympathy for both the girl and the boy.
