Part A
Themes are key ideas that stand out or are repeated in a text. Identify and explain one important theme that you noticed in chapter 1. Include evidence from the text to support your response.
Part B
What do the following lines reveal about Ebenezer Scrooge’s character?
“Under the impression that they scarcely furnish Christian cheer of mind or body to the multitude,” returned the gentleman, “a few of us are endeavouring to raise a fund to buy the Poor some meat and drink, and means of warmth. We choose this time, because it is a time, of all others, when Want is keenly felt, and Abundance rejoices. What shall I put you down for?”
“Nothing!” Scrooge replied.
“You wish to be anonymous?”
“I wish to be left alone,” said Scrooge. “Since you ask me what I wish, gentlemen, that is my answer. I don’t make merry myself at Christmas and I can’t afford to make idle people merry. I help to support the establishments I have mentioned—they cost enough; and those who are badly off must go there.”
“Many can’t go there; and many would rather die.”
“If they would rather die,” said Scrooge, “they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population.”
Part C
Writers create dramatic irony by telling the reader about an important event in the plot that the characters aren’t aware of. This technique helps writers create effects such as suspense and humor. Identify one example of dramatic irony from chapter 1 of A Christmas Carol and explain why it fits the description of this technique.
Answer:
Part A: Coldness (Metaphorically) In the beginning of the book, Scrooge is not only cold- but it is also winter.
Part B: Scrooge is a distant/grumpy/miser character who dislikes most things. At the end of the novella, he becomes somewhat kindhearted.
Part C: At the beginning, Dickens makes readers aware that Scrooge will have a conversation with the ghost of his dead partner, Jacob Marley. Readers know this from the title of chapter 1, “Marley’s Ghost.” When Marley’s ghost appears, Scrooge thinks his mind is playing tricks on him. He is a stubborn, practical businessman who doesn’t believe in ghosts. When Scrooge realizes that Marley’s ghost is real, he panics and behaves very unlike his usual self.

C and B
Explanation:

What is an allusion?An allusion is a figure of speech that refers to a well-known person, place, event, or literary work in order to add meaning or significance to a particular phrase or idea. It is a brief, indirect reference that relies on the audience's prior knowledge or familiarity with the subject being alluded to.
Allusions can be found in literature, art, music, and everyday language, and can range from subtle references to more overt ones. They are often used to evoke emotion, establish a connection with the audience, or add depth and complexity to a text. Some common examples of allusions include references to mythology, the Bible, Shakespeare, and historical events or figures.
HEre in the question,
Part A: The allusion in "Superhero 101: A Family Secret" is A. Trace suggests that revealing his real life would be like opening a Pandora's box. The sentence "opening a Pandora's box" is an allusion to Greek mythology, specifically the story of Pandora and the box that she was warned not to open. This allusion suggests that Trace believes that revealing his secret life would have unpredictable and potentially disastrous consequences.

The allusion to Pandora's box emphasizes the potential dangers and negative consequences that Trace believes would come from revealing his secret life. It highlights his fear and reluctance to reveal his true identity to his family.
Option A is not true because the allusion to Pandora's box does not explain why Trace's grandfather had to miss Trace's birthday party or help Trace understand his own choices.
Option B is not true because the allusion to Pandora's box does not simply remind the reader that people can make mistakes and have regrets.
Option D is not true because the allusion to Pandora's box does not directly relate to Trace's grandfather's love for his family or the sacrifices he made as a superhero.
Therefore, Part A: The allusion in "Superhero 101: A Family Secret" is A. Trace suggests that revealing his real life would be like opening a Pandora's box. Part B: The correct option is C. It emphasizes how disastrous Trace thinks it could be if his family knows about his secret life.

AC vs. DC
In the 1880s, the War of the Currents began. Thomas Edison developed direct current, or DC, a type of electricity that flows in one direction. By 1887, DC was in use around the United States. It had some drawbacks, though. Converting it to lower or higher voltages was difficult; that is, the current's force couldn't be changed easily. Transmitted at the low voltage needed for use in homes and businesses, it lost power after traveling only a mile. Meanwhile, Nikola Tesla was working with alternating current, or AC. AC reverses direction many times per second and can be changed to different voltages. At high voltage, it can be transmitted efficiently, traveling hundreds of miles with little energy loss. Because of its advantages, AC triumphed by the end of the nineteenth century.
What is the main idea of the passage?
AC has distinct advantages over DC, so AC won the War of the Currents.
AC reverses direction and can be converted to lower or higher voltage.
What is the main idea?
Answer: "AC has distinct advantages over DC, so AC won the War of the currents."
The main and the central idea about the passage is (1)AC has distinct advantages over DC, so AC won the War of the Currents.
Explanation:
The given passage talks about the War between Currents.
There are two types of currents being talked about- DC and AC. The passage tells us that the use of DC was prevalent in the 18th centaury and after development of the AC current, it took over DC and was then used all over the world because it had distinct advantages.
Therefore, the main idea of the passage is AC has distinct advantages over DC, so AC won the War of the Currents.
