Answer 8

The Moorish king Aben Gama had the beautiful Melilah brought from Arabia to Daroca to marry him. He built a magnificent palace in her honor. In spite of his efforts, the girl never loved her husband, the king. During this time, the Moors continued to wage war with the Christians and, in one of the battles, a Christian knight, Jaime Diez de Aux, was captured and sentenced to death.

Melilah fell in love with the knight and offered to help him escape on condition that they would marry when he was free. Jaime Diez, of course, agreed. While Daroca was under siege, Melilah freed Jaime, but she was captured while trying to escape. Her husband sentenced her to death by drowning at the bottom of a well.

Since her death, Melilah wanders the underground passages connecting the well to the castle. (from a legend, The Enchanted Moorish Maid From Daroca)

Which of the following explains the irony of the passage?

The fact that Melilah fell in love with Jaime is an example of dramatic irony.

Melilah haunts the underground passages so even though she was executed, her spirit still lives. This is dramatic irony.

The fact that Jaime agreed to marry Melilah is situational irony.

Melilah lost her own life in an attempt to save another’s life. This is situational irony.

One day Lady Fatima (daughter of the Holy Prophet Mohammed) was cooking helva (the texture is like a dry oatmeal, with sugar and butter in it) in a pan in the garden when suddenly the door opened, and her husband, the caliph Ali, entered along with the new bride. (Islam allowed a man to marry four times.)

Fatima was deeply grieved; the wooden stirring spoon dropped from her hand, but she continued stirring the helva with her hand. Because of the grief in her heart, she never even felt the pain of her hand mixing the hot halvah. However, when her husband hurried to her side and exclaimed in surprise, "What are you doing there, Fatima?" she felt her hand burning and the pain.

The new bride and Ali, as the groom, go into their wedding room. The house is wooden, and Fatima can not stop herself from looking through a tiny little hole in a room from the second floor. And when Ali leans over the bride, Fatima's tear drops from that tiny hole to Ali’s shoulder and stops him.

Thus it is, from that day on, the hand of the Lady Fatima has been used in the Islamic world as a symbol. Girls and women wear a necklace on which hands hang. The necklace of Fatima, rather popular in Islamic countries, is formed of pieces shaped after a tear drop. (adapted from the “The Story of Hazrat Fatima, Daughter of the Holy Prophet.”)

Which of the following is NOT true?

Fatima’s hand is a symbol of the pain one will endure in the name of love.

Fatima’s tear drop is a symbol of her perfection.

Fatima’s hand is a symbol of the Islamic faith.

Fatima’s tear represents the power of love.

Answer 15

What is your guess?

Answer 16

A

Answer 17

or C

Answer 18

Well at the end of the story it says that it is part of Islamic faith so I don't think it would be C and when she was cooking she burned her hand because she was distracted by her husband's love for another girl so I don't think it's A ethier... Do you have another guess?

Answer 19

it B bec it doesnt say tear drop right

Answer 20

Answer 26

Pharaoh dreamed: and behold, he stood by the river. And behold, there came up out of the river seven fat cows, and they fed in a meadow. And behold, seven other cows came up after them out of the river, ill-favored and lean-fleshed, and stood by the other cows, upon the brink of the river. And the sickly and skinny cows ate up the seven well-favored and fat cows… so Pharaoh awoke. And he slept and dreamed the second time; and beholds seven ears of corn came upon one stalk, rank and good. And behold, seven dim ears and blasted with the east wind, sprang up after them. And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears: and Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream. And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all the Magicians of Egypt and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dreams: but there was none that could interpret them.

Then the chief butler of Pharaoh made known unto him the skill of Joseph in the interpretation of dreams, and Joseph was brought out of the prison into which he had been cast by Potiphar, his master, and Pharaoh related unto him the dream which had perplexed him.

And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, “The dream of Pharaoh is one; God hath [shown] Pharaoh what he is about to do.

The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one. And the seven thin and ill-favored [cows] that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine. Behold; there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt. And there shall arise after them seven years of famine, and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine shall consume the land. And the plenty shall not be known in the land because of that famine following, for it shall be very grievous. And the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh because the thing is established by God: and God will shortly bring it to pass.

Now let Pharaoh look for a man, discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt. Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years. And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities. And that food shall be stored for the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt, so that the people of land will not perish through the famine.

And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants. And Pharaoh said unto his servants, “Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom the spirit of God is?” And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, “For as much as God hath showed thee all this, there is none more discreet and wise as thou art: Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, “See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.” And Pharaoh took off his ring, from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck .And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had. (adapted from the Book of Genesis)

Answer 27

Which of the following best explains the symbolism in the story?

The Pharaoh’s ring is a symbol of power.

The Pharaoh’s gold chain is a symbol of forgiveness.

The Pharaoh’s chariot is a symbol of service.

The linen clothes represent Joseph’s former life as a slave.

Answer 28

What's your guess?
