What of the following statements BEST describes the connotative meaning of the word immature in this sentence?

“You are so immature!” Angela shouted, furious that her younger brother had embarrassed her in front of her friends.


It has a negative connotation, implying that his behavior is extremely rude and impossible to endure.

It has a positive connotation, suggesting that Angela’s brother acts in a very innocent and trusting way.

It has a positive connotation, implying that he has a very clever sense of humor.

It has a negative connotation, suggesting that Angela’s brother is silly or lacks sophistication.

I would say the last option. Because Angela is so upset, furious even, she sees her brother’s immaturity as a negative attribute that is hindering her life with his childish antics.

Can you please give me the correct answers

1st answer choices:fancy,funny,or flowing

2nd answer choices:nalal patiya,Sri Lanka,or weddings

3rd answer choices:stylish,disappointed,or thoughtful ​

Answers

Answer:

1. flowing

2. Sri Lanka

3. stylish

Explanation:

The above selected options are the correct answers.

This is true because a look at the passage, we will discover that her mother had a long hair just like her sisters because they were usually praised for it. Therefore, her hair should be flowing. Also, Sri Lanka is the perfect option that fits where her mother is from becomes she refers that as "home of her sisters". Then we realize that trimming the hair will result to  a "perfect compromise - a little bit of tradition and a little bit of edge" - which will make the hair stylish.

The above are the correct  answers.

Answer:

Wild forest fires cause extensive damage to flora and fauna and result in destruction of man-made property in and around the area of fire.

Controlled fires are used by agriculturists and forest officials to keep wild fires at bay. It involves careful, controlled burning of certain areas of the forest, to clear it off inflammable organic matter. In the event of fire, this cleared-off area acts as a barrier for fire from spreading further.

In the process of controlled burning, several wild animals are killed and lose their habitat. Thick smoke from such man-made fires is a cause for environmental concern too

16. A rectangle of length (4x - 1) cm and breath 2xcm has an area of 10cm2. Find
a Value of x
b. Its length and breath
c. Perimeter​

Answers

a) 2x(4x-1)=10

Expand

8x^2-2x=10

Divide all terms by 2

4x^2-x=5

4x^2-x-5=0

4x^2+4x-5x-5=0

4x(x+1)-5(x+1)=0

(4x-5)(x+1)=0

x is equal to -1 and 5/4

but, in this case, the side of a rectangle cannot be negative, so the only answer that is mathematically possible is 5/4

b) substitute 5/4 into given expressions

length: 4(5/4)-1 which is 4cm

width: 2*5/4 which is 2.5cm

c) plus all four sides together

2.5+2.5+4+4 which is 13cm

Until nearly the end of her career, however, her supportive public knew her only as Anna May Wong, a notable star of three distinct eras in American entertainment: silent films, talking pictures, and television.

Which word would best replace the underlined word to provide a more precise meaning?

sympathizing


responsive


considerate


adoring

Answers

Answer:

None if there 's no word underlined purposely

adoring for (supportive)

Explanation:

Until nearly the end of her career, however, her supportive public knew her only as Anna May Wong, a notable star of three distinct eras in American entertainment: silent films, talking pictures, and television.

The underlined word would be best described by the word adoring.

The word adoring means showing feelings of love, affection and admiration.

The categories of the public that would be knowing her obviously be the ones who adored her , loved or had some feelings of admiration for her.

Responsive people or followers are those who give some response.

A star is known by a lot of people irrespective of the responsive public.

No word would be replaced if there isn't any word underlined purposely.

Who is Malcolm X?

Malcolm X, an American Muslim clergyman and human rights advocate who was best known during the civil rights movement, was born Malcolm Little and later changed his name to Malik el-Shabazz. He lived from May 19, 1925, until February 21, 1965. He served as the Nation of Islam's spokesperson up until 1964 and was a vociferous supporter of Black liberation and the spread of Islam among Black people. In 1965, a postmortem autobiography he co-wrote with Alex Haley was released.

After his father passed away and his mother was sent to the hospital, Malcolm spent his youth living in a string of foster homes or with relatives. He committed a number of offenses and was given a 10-year jail term for theft and burglary in 1946. He joined the Nation of Islam while incarcerated (choosing the name Malcolm X in place of "the white slavemaster moniker of "Little"), and after being released from jail in 1952, he rose to become one of the group's most important leaders.

What feature of this excerpt makes it blank verse? It has a rhyming pattern. It has iambic pentameter. It does not use everyday language. It is about nature.

Answers

Answer:

The feature of this excerpt that makes it a blank verse is:

B. It has iambic pentameter.

Explanation:

A poem written in blank verse will not have a rhyming scheme. However, it will have regular metrical lines. It does not have to be iambic pentameter, as is the case here. The author can choose any type of meter and maintain it throughout the poem. Among the options provided, we can eliminate letter A, since we already know blank verse does not rhyme. Letters C and D focus on things that are completely unrelated to blank verse, since it is not about the language or the theme. Therefore, the best option is letter B. It has iambic pentameter, because is shows the meter chosen by this author. Take a look at the lines below:
