Summary for "The Lady or Tiger"

The story first introduces a "semi-barbaric" king, who has implemented a unique form of justice within his kingdom: if the king believes that someone has committed a crime, they are placed in an arena and forced to choose blindly between two identical doors. Behind one door is a beautiful lady who will promptly become the accused’s wife; behind the other door is a tiger. Then the Kings daughter falls in love with a very handsome man. The king puts the man in an arena and forces him to choose blindly between the two identical doors. But the Man looks at the daughter and daughter tells the man to choose the door to the right. Then the author wants you to finish the story.

Answers

Answer 1

[...] But the Man looks at the daughter and daughter tells the man to choose the door to the right. Then the apprehensive man looks the king right in the eye and refuses to choose any door. The surprised king asks the man why he refuses to obey the orders of his king and his princess.

The man promptly replies that because of selfishness and a concern for the princess's happiness he is unable to escape one of the doors. This is because if he chooses the door where the tiger is, he will be killed and his soul will wander the land without peace, until the love of his life, the princess, meets him in the Hereafter. However, if he chooses the door where a beautiful maiden is placed, he will have to marry a woman with whom he is not in love, leaving three unhappy lives. His life, for not marrying the one he loves, the life of his wife, for being married to a man who does not love her, and the life of the princess, for seeing her love with another woman.

So instead of choosing between the doors, he chooses to ask, dearly, that the king grant her the daughter's hand in marriage, thus preventing three souls from living in suffering.

The king, moved by the man's words and seeing his daughter's happiness, has no choice but to allow marriage.

Next day his luggage arrived through the slush—and very remarkable luggage it was. There were a couple of trunks indeed, such as a rational man might need, but in addition there were a box of books—big, fat books, of which some were just in an incomprehensible handwriting—and a dozen or more crates, boxes, and cases, containing objects packed in straw, as it seemed to Hall, tugging with a casual curiosity at the straw—glass bottles.
Which is the best meaning for incomprehensible as it is used in the selected sentence?
A) unorganized; scattered
B) having no limits; boundless
C) impossible to fathom or imagine
D) difficult or impossible to understand or comprehend; unintelligible

Answers

Answer:

D). Difficult or impossible to understand or comprehend:  Unintelligible.

Explanation:

The word 'incomprehensible' denotes 'anything beyond understanding or something that is unable to be explained or comprehended.'

In the given sentence, the most appropriate meaning of this word would be 'unintelligible' which implies 'difficult or indeed impossible to understand.' It connotes 'an unclear or inexplicable idea.' The synonyms of the word could be 'indecipherable, inarticulate, incoherent, impenetrable, etc.' Another sentence using the word could be:

'His sudden anger at the party was incomprehensible(beyond understanding) to the entire crowd out there.'

Therefore, option D is the correct answer.

Use what you’ve learned in the lesson’s analysis of “Digital Divisions” and your own analysis of the passage and podcast. Be sure to cite and explain your evidence. Consult the My Media podcast transcript, if needed.

Answer:

A topic that lends itself to audio storytelling, and a topic that has a natural community. Good equipment and clear audio. Podcast is the audio device that works difitally to get downloaded in computing devices such as computer, mobile phones, laptops etc. from internet source. It download audio files so that any user can listen to the audio on their particular devices. It usually present in form of episode or series in MP3 form. Podcast are not the best devices that can circulate information at present time. It can only spread audio files.  

Explanation:

Answer:

The print text “Digital Divisions” and the My Media podcast both emphasize the changing ways in which people communicate information, but they reinforce these ideas using different methods. “Digital Divisions” uses a compare-contrast structure. The passage is divided into sections discussing the merits of digital and print texts to show that the “divide is over the worth and benefit of technology itself.” By emphasizing the word divide and splitting the text into two main paragraphs, “Digital Division” stresses the conflict and tension of differing views of technology. The My Media podcast emphasizes multiple ideas through multiple speakers. These speakers enthusiastically respond to one another using exclamations like “Definitely!” to draw the attention of listeners to specific points. The podcast also focuses more on the elements of media, with an emphasis on how “sound and film had a huge impact.” This reinforces the idea of change but looks more at the role a specific form of media plays and takes a more positive view.

Read this excerpt from "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty."


Walter Mitty stopped the car in front of the building where his wife went to have her hair done. "Remember to get those overshoes while I’m having my hair done," she said. "I don’t need overshoes," said Mitty. She put her mirror back into her bag. "We’ve been all through that," she said, getting out of the car. "You’re not a young man any longer." He raced the engine a little. "Why don’t you wear your gloves? Have you lost your gloves?"

What does the dialogue in the excerpt show about Mitty's wife?


She is nagging and controlling.


She is confused and anxious.


She is kind and considerate.


She is clever and amusing.

Answers

Answer:

A) She is nagging and controlling.

Explanation:

Honestly, I got nothing to explain but that I actually did get 100% on my test and I did put this answer. Sorry to disappoint any one looking for a explanation.

She is nagging and controlling in the excerpt shows about Mitty's wife. Thus, option A is correct.  

Who is the wife?

A wife is a female partner in a union. Until the partnership is officially ended by a divorce judgment, a woman who already has divorced without her partner remains a wife. The person becomes the wife after they have been married.

This excerpt it is clearly suggested how nagging and controlling the wife is. Whenever Mitty has stopped the car she tells him what he has to do this to do and also about how he is supposed to do it.

Even though he knows what is to be done and how it is to be done but still she wants it in our particular way or a particular man. This clearly suggests how nagging and controlling the wife is. Therefore, option A is the correct option.

write one paragraph about the things that make you stressed and how you deal with these things

Answers

Answer:

 School, family, and friends are the things that make me stress a lot. I usually stay quiet and not say a word. But when I do, my family/friends think I'm being a drama queen, and that causes more stress. So, I deal with these things by myself. I try to relax, get some alone time, and forget all my problems. I've learned that stress causes headaches, so I try to clam down and not stress out a lot.

  I always make sure that I can at least have a few minutes alone, to clam down and relax. Most of the time, I listen to calming music and breathe in and out. I've been stressing a lot these days, so this is the time I stay silence. But, I've always found a way to relax and not think of the world's expectations of me, but instead think about my expectations of myself.
