English 10 - Cumulative Exam Review 100% Already Passed Read the excerpt from act 5, scene 1, of Julius Caesar. MESSENGER. Prepare you, generals.The enemy comes on in gallant show.Their bloody sign of battle is hung out,And something to be done immediately. ANTONY. Octavius, lead your battle softly on,Upon the left hand of the even field. OCTAVIUS. Upon the right ha nd, I; keep thou the left. How does the use of the word gallant add to the meaning of the sentence? It suggests the enemy is planning a stealthy surprise attack on the enemy. It shows that the enemy is in a weakened state and tired from the long trek. It reveals that the enemy is distracted by the series of dark omens during their march to battle. It suggests that the enemy is well -decorated and showy in their confident approach. ✔✔It suggests that the enemy is well -decorated and showy in their confident ap proach. Read the passage from A Room of One's Own. For surely it is time that the effect of discouragement upon the mind of the artist should be measured, as I have seen a dairy company measure the effect of ordinary milk and Grade A milk upon the body of the rat. They set two rats in cages side by side, and of the two one was furtive, timid and small, and the other was glossy, bold and big. Now what food do we feed women as artists upon? I asked, remembering, I suppose, that dinner of prunes and custard. What perspective is supported by Woolf's word choices in the underlined sentence? that women artists are treated like caged rats that women artists become fearful in captivity that women artists are often held back by their own creative instincts that wome n artists do not receive the encouragement they need to succeed ✔✔that women artists do not receive the encouragement they need to succeed Read the excerpt from Julius Caesar, act 1, scene 2. CASCA. Why, there was a crown offered him: and beingoffered him , he put it by with the back of his hand,thus; and then the people fell a -shouting.230 BRUTUS. What was the second noise for? CASCA. Why, for that too. CASSIUS. They shouted thrice. What was the last cry for? CASCA. Why, for that too. BRUTUS. Was the crown offered him thrice?235 CASCA. Ay, marry, was't; and he put it by thrice, everytime gentler than other; and at every putting by,mine honest neighbours shouted. What conflict does Casca's explanation of the crowd's cries in the passage best illustrate? character vs. society character vs. character character vs. nature character vs. self ✔✔character vs. society Read the passage from A Room of One's Own. Her mind must have been strained and her vitality lowered by the need of opposing this, of disproving that. For here again we come within range of that very interesting and obscure masculine complex which has had so much influence upon the woman's movement; that deep -
seated desire, not so much that SHE shall be inferior as that HE shall be superior, which plants him wherever one looks, not only in front of the arts, but barring the way to politics too, even when the risk to himself seems infinitesimal and the suppliant humble and devoted. How does the rhetorical technique used in the underlined text best de velop the author's ideas? The author's use of overstatement exaggerates a well -known fact to emphasize men's perceived superiority. The author's use of irony emphasizes that men's desire to be superior is not an obscure or particularly interesting fact. The author's use of metaphor makes a creative and colorful comparison to emphasize the idea that men want to be superior.
