Excerpt from veterans day
kathy hufford
on november 11, 1918, an agreement ended the fighting of world war i. the agreement was called an "armistice." the world hoped that world war i was the war that would end all wars, so november 11 soon became known as "armistice day." on that day, many nations remembered their soldiers who fought in world war i.
sadly, world war ii began less than 20 years after, and even that wasn't the end of war. so in 1954, america's armistice day was renamed "veterans day." this was done to appoint november 11 a holiday to remember all of the brave soldiers who to preserve freedom for americans and people all over the world.
every year, veteran’s day is observed as a u. s. holiday on november 11. on this day, towns across america honor veterans with parades and ceremonies to them for their service.
which most accurately identifies the relationship between armistice day and veteran's day?
a) armistice day occurs earlier in the year than veteran's day.
b) veteran's day occurs earlier in the year than veteran's day.
c) both involve honoring veterans. veteran's day replaced armistice day after world war ii.
d) both involve honoring veterans. armistice day replaced veteran's day after world war i.

Which two parts of this excerpt from mary shelley’s frankenstein reveals information about the setting? (it was on a dreary night of november that i beheld the accomplishment of my toils.) with an anxiety that almost amounted to agony, (i collected the instruments of life around me, that i might infuse a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet. it was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out) when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, i saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs. (how can i describe my emotions at this catastrophe), or how delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pains and care i had endeavored to form? his limbs were in proportion, and i had selected his features as beautiful. beautiful! great god! (his yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; ) but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same color as the dun-white sockets in which they were set, his shriveled complexion and straight black lips.
