Answer:
The Epic of Gilgamesh has been of interest to Christians ever since its discovery in the mid-nineteenth century in the ruins of the great library at Nineveh, with its account of a universal flood with significant parallels to the Flood of Noah's day.1, 2 The rest of the Epic, which dates back to possibly third millennium B.C., contains little of value for Christians, since it concerns typical polytheistic myths associated with the pagan peoples of the time. However, some Christians have studied the ideas of creation and the afterlife presented in the Epic. Even secular scholars have recognized the parallels between the Babylonian, Phoenician, and Hebrew accounts, although not all are willing to label the connections as anything more than shared mythology.3
Read the attached poem, choose 3 lines. What is being compared and personified in each line
the stars winked at me
the book read itself to me
the tree whispered in the wind
this pencil wrote words perfectly
the computer has a mind of its own
my car is screaming to be washed
those cookies are calling my name
the car danced on the wet road
Answer:
the stars winked at me
Stars are thing that is being personified because they aren't human, they can't wink.
the book read itself to me
Books can't read or talk, so that's what's being personified in that line.
the tree whispered in the wind
Come on! Trees can't talk! The trees are what's being personified in this line.
Explanation:
Personification is describing an object that is not human by giving it human qualities.
Comparing is describing two object by using the words "like" or "as".
None of these lines consist of the words "like" or "as", so there is nothing being compared in this poem.

SUSPICIOUS BOX
Last Friday, it was around 12:30 in the afternoon when a suspicious box was found by
Miss Mendez on her table. The suspicious box wasn't opened by the teacher at that moment
because she was afraid to see what's inside and who gave it because it doesn't even have a
short note. The box was wrapped in a red silk paper, a little bit heavy, having a yellow ribbon
and tied properly.
The box was taken to the faculty room by Miss Mendez and showed it to her co-
teachers. When they're about to open the box, loud and big voices were heard outside the
faculty room and greeted her... "Happy Birthday Miss Mendez!" When she took a look
around, it was her students in the 7th grade. They brought balloons, flowers and cake for her
birthday. In great surprise, she gladly embraced them. She cried tears of joy when they sang
happy birthday. When she opened her gift, she saw her photo turned into a sketch and kept in
a shimmering frame. A series of messages too were written by her thoughtful students.
Meanwhile as she randomly reads the messages, one of her bright students in class, Pio,
the guitarist, started to play his instrument while the rest of his classmates started to sing a
song. Not just a song but it was their teacher's favorite song entitled "A Smile in Your
Heart”. It is a song sung by his favorite singer of all time. Absolutely, having those ideas and
plans tickled the bones of their adviser for it all worked out.
As they finished the song, Miss Mendez blew her cake, made a wish, and thanked
everyone for the surprise they had prepared. In the end, a meaningful message was delivered
by her for her wonderful birthday surprise. According to Miss Mendez, it was her most
remarkable birthday celebration with unforgettable people.
We hope you understand the passage. Now it's your turn to do the task. Good luck!

The government should not use taxpayers' money to fund the arts.
Select the piece of evidence that best supports this claim.
The largest government arts program costs the average taxpayer only about
forty-five cents per year.
Private citizens, corporations, and foundations already spend billions of dollars
each year to support the arts.
The Federal Art Project was a government-funded program that employed
thousands of artists during the Great Depression.
Answer:
Private citizens, corporations, and foundations already spend billions of dollars each year to support the arts.
Explanation:
The piece of evidence that best supports this claim is "Private citizens, corporations, and foundations already spend billions of dollars each year to support the arts".
Actually, who are the taxpayers? They are private citizens, corporations and foundations. That means if the government is using taxpayers' money to fund arts, indirectly it means that the billions of dollars spent each year to support arts are the monies of the private citizens, corporations and foundations. This then means that these private citizens, foundations and corporations are actually the ones supporting the arts through the taxes they pay.

A. because Claudius’s servants would be unwilling to go
B. because he is sending Claudius there
C. because Claudius put him there
D. because Claudius is a murderer

Hamlet indirectly says that Claudius will go to hell when he dies. That's because Hamlet wants to kill Claudius to avenge his father's death, since Claudius killed him.
Since Claudio is a murderer, Hamlet knows that there will be no salvation for him, so if he has to look for someone in the hereafter, it will be in hell and not in heaven.

Explain which rhetorical appeal—pathos, ethos, or logos—used in “On Women's Right to Vote” is the most effective.
Answer:
Logos
Explanation:
Logos is the most effective appeal because using human rights and the constitution for support gives off a higher stature from women. Logos is an appeal that shows no emotion while ethos and pathos do and if women show too much emotion, they would be given the benefit of the doubt, which is not what Anthony is striving for.

Red death denotes plague that strikes the fictional country. Prince Prospero and his people are safe till he hosts a masquerade ball. But, their life takes a turn after a strange creature enters the masquerade.
The significant points are:
The red death enters the masquerade ball. This suggests that death will strike anyone at any time. There is no mention of how the red death entered the abbey. A room was decorated with the ‘blood-red color’ lights that signify death. This suggests that death will eventually enter that room.
Thus, man’s attempts to prevent death in any form will eventually be worthless. There are certain aspects in life that cannot be avoided.
