Shakespeare's Macbeth, Act V Scene 5
http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/1129/pg1129.html

MACBETH. She should have died hereafter;
There would have been a time for such a word.
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

What does the phrase "a poor player" refer to?

Shadow
Life
The actor
A sports player
i think is a or b

Answer 15

Your impulse matters more than mine, but I'm thinkin you should stick with A

Answer 16

okay thank u and the second one do u know

Answer 17

Well, a poor player being used in a poetic sense is not being literal.
If you take a look at the rest of Shakespeare's poem, it is not revolved around acting or a sports player.
So your eliminations are correct once again.
The poor player is being used as a metaphor to resemble his meaning.
If you take a precise look at JUST the one line, it says "LIFE'S but a walking shadow."
What is a walking shadow?
Life is.
What does the poor player resemble?
I'd say Life.

Answer 18

u sure

Answer 19

Read the following sentence and then select the correct word to go in the blank:

After they told him he was not good enough for the team, he felt _____.

amorous
sensory
euphonious
dejected

Answer 20

i think is d
@Atsie

Answer 21

The definition of amorous is someone or something indicating affection or desire, especially of a sexual nature.
Also sensory is of or relating to sensation or the physical senses; transmitted or perceived by the senses.
The definition of euphonious I didn't know, but I did google it for you and it means Pleasing or agreeable to the ear.
Dejected basically is another form of rejected....heartbroken, etc.
What do you think makes most sense?

Answer 22

c

Answer 23

ohhh is d

Answer 24

Yep, you got it! :)

Answer 25

is dejected

Answer 26

Yes that is correct. Good!

Answer 27

Read this excerpt from Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and then answer the question that follows:

(1) Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation: conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war ... testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated ... can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war.

(2) We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that this nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate ... we cannot consecrate ... we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.

The style of language used in this speech would be appropriate for which of these occasions?

A funeral
A lecture
A debate
A conversation
i think is c

Answer 28

You put this up beforehand, and I confirmed that it was C. :)

Answer 29

so i got it right

Answer 30

From Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka

(1)One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections. The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment. His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked.

(2)"What's happened to me?" he thought. It wasn't a dream. His room, a proper human room although a little too small, lay peacefully between its four familiar walls. A collection of textile samples lay spread out on the table �Samsa was a travelling salesman � and above it there hung a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and housed in a nice, gilded frame. It showed a lady fitted out with a fur hat and fur boa who sat upright, raising a heavy fur muff that covered the whole of her lower arm towards the viewer.

(3)Gregor then turned to look out the window at the dull weather. Drops of rain could be heard hitting the pane, which made him feel quite sad. "How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense", he thought, but that was something he was unable to do because he was used to sleeping on his right, and in his present state couldn't get into that position. However hard he threw himself onto his right, he always rolled back to where he was. He must have tried it a hundred times, shut his eyes so that he wouldn't have to look at the floundering legs, and only stopped when he began to feel a mild, dull pain there that he had never felt before.

Read the sentence from the passage and answer the question that follows:

"One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin."

What does the phrase "horrible vermin" tell you about Gregor Samsa's feelings about his transformation?

He is excited.
He is sickened.
He is nervous.
He is annoyed.

i think is b

Answer 31

i need help with 9 questions please

Answer 32

@Atsie

Answer 33

This one is a bit tricky, because it doesn't state his feelings or emotions really.
but as a vermin is a rather gross thing, I'd say he's not excited about it and annoyed is a general thing that undermines the context of the sentence.
You have B and C left, and I think B is your best bet.

And I have to leave actually, so I'm sorry that is the last one that i am able to help with. :/

How does the author create a sense of sadness about the situation?

He sets the story on a rainy day.
He gives Gregor an ordinary room.
He makes Gregor a textile salesman.
He has Gregor waking from a bad dream.
