Which American author created detective fiction?

  1. Herman Melville
  2. Harriet Beecher Stowe
  3. Raymond Chandler
  4. Edgar Allan Poe
  5. Dashiell Hammett

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Poe invented detective fiction, which he dubbed “tales of ratiocination,” stories in which logic is used to solve a mystery. Classic examples include “Murders in the Rue Morgue” and “The Purloined Letter.”



The former viewed nature as comprehensible and a source of divine inspiration and a new spirit of American individualism, while the later saw it as a savage force – beautiful but alien and perilous.

The above text most likely refers to which two authors?

  1. Nathaniel Hawthorne and John Greenleaf Whittier
  2. Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman
  3. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Henry David Thoreau
  4. Ralph Waldo Emerson and Herman Melville
  5. Oliver Wendell Holmes and William Cullen Bryant

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Part of Emerson’s new national vision was based on the inspiration he felt individuals could gain from an appreciation of nature. Melville, however, often portrayed nature as a savage or even vengeful force, most famously symbolized by the great white whale Moby Dick.



Nature, the gentlest mother,
Impatient of no child,
The feeblest or the waywardest, –
Her admonition mild

In forest and the hill
By traveller is heard,
Restraining rampant squirrel
Or too impetuous bird.

How fair her conversation,
A summer afternoon, –
Her household, her assembly;
And when the sun goes down

Her voice among the aisles
Incites the timid prayer
Of the minutest cricket,
The most unworthy flower.

When all the children sleep
She turns as long away
As will suffice to light her lamps;
Then, bending from the sky,

With infinite affection
And infiniter care,
Her golden finger on her lip,
Wills silence everywhere.

The word “child” in line 2 probably refers to

  1. the author’s child
  2. all children
  3. the squirrel in line 7
  4. all living things
  5. the elements

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Line 1 establishes that the poem is speaking of the natural world and living things in general. Nature’s children are all living things.



Nature, the gentlest mother,
Impatient of no child,
The feeblest or the waywardest, –
Her admonition mild

In forest and the hill
By traveller is heard,
Restraining rampant squirrel
Or too impetuous bird.

How fair her conversation,
A summer afternoon, –
Her household, her assembly;
And when the sun goes down

Her voice among the aisles
Incites the timid prayer
Of the minutest cricket,
The most unworthy flower.

When all the children sleep
She turns as long away
As will suffice to light her lamps;
Then, bending from the sky,

With infinite affection
And infiniter care,
Her golden finger on her lip,
Wills silence everywhere.

The use of the word “aisles” in line 13 brings in the imagery of a

  1. church
  2. railroad car
  3. cornfield
  4. supermarket
  5. sea

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

This poem reflects a spiritual appreciation for nature. The use of “aisles” compares the natural world to a church where all creatures pray in thanks.

answer to this question "what administrative safeguards should be implemented to protect the collected data while in use by manasa and her product management team? " it should be (c) for the following reasons: this administrative safeguard involves controlling access to collected data by ensuring that only individuals who need the data for their job responsibilities have access to it. this helps minimize the risk of unauthorized access and potential misuse of sensitive information. while other options such as (a) documenting data flows and (b) conducting a privacy impact assessment (pia) are important steps in data protection, implementing a "need to know" access policy directly addresses the issue of protecting data while in use by limiting access to those who require it for legitimate purposes. (d) is not directly related to safeguarding data during use; it focuses on data transfers and location.
