Iexamined the list of possible careers, i felt downtrodden when i realized the exciting internships had already been assigned. the word downtrodden in this sentence from section two means a) unfortunate and miserable. b) full of anticipation. c) worried and fearful. d) angry and jealous.

A.    unfortunate and miserable

The best response is the first reply because downtrodden means trampled upon, crushed, depressed.  One way you can help yourself in the future when looking to determine the meaning of a word is to try to replace it with synonyms.  That said, if you replace “downtrodden” with “depressed” or “sad,” the sentence still makes perfect sense.  However, what if you don’t know synonyms?  In that case, try to look at the parts of the word.  For instance, the prefix of “downtrodden” is “down.”  That said, “down” is typically a word associated with “sad.”  Thus, one could make the connection that “downtrodden” is synonymous with “unfortunate” and/or “miserable.”

A) unfortunate and miserable.

Explanation:

The word "downtrodden" means oppression. Oppressed is an adjective used to define the individual who was humiliated or forced to submit to something or something that left him feeling unhappy and miserable.

Oppression is the feeling of being choked, having difficulty breathing, also in the figurative sense. Oppression makes people feel unhappy, humiliated and miserable because they can not do what they need or want.

write two paragraphs to compare and contrast the narrators’ schools and explain how their schools shape their perspectives toward the hijab. cite evidence from the text to support your ideas.

copy and paste answer:

two paragraphs to compare and contrast the narrator's schools would be this, the one school with the veil is the one school were the students were forced to wear the veils, and they did not know why they had to wear the veils. the girl student writing the story was not like the other students, she didn't care. in the second school there was a lot of hostile activities going on throughout the school. most of the students were upset and this, including the author, but she was trying to look and the good side of things.  

overall, both schools had something that the students or most of the students did not like or appreciate. what you can learn from these stories is that life will never be exactly how you may want it to be. complaining about your lifestyle will only make matters worse or at least feel worse in the long run. that's happens to be the information you can interpret from these two stories.

    prior to dee leaving home, the everyday objects in her household were just that- everyday objects. she took no special notice of any of them. however, once she returns home, all of these objects represent great culture significance to her. she is incredibly enthused about how great the wooden benches and old quilts are because she thinks it is in-style to be in touch with her own culture.
