I'd say the answer is B) foreshadowing. She is indicating that that particular night is somehow special, and that he should stay with her. It foreshadows that something is going to happen in the future.

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

At the beginning of "Young Goodman Brown," Brown's wife says, "Pray tarry with me this night, dear husband, of all nights in the year." This statement is an example of

A. ambiguity.

B. satire.

C. irony.

D. foreshadowing.

Answer:

This statement is an example of D. foreshadowing.

Explanation:

"Young Goodman Brown" is a short story by author Nathaniel Hawthorne. Published in 1835, the story takes place in Salem during the witch hunt. Goodman Brown is a young man who believes in God and Heaven. On a certain day, Brown kisses his wife Faith goodbye and leaves home to an unknown errand. <u>Faith says, "Pray tarry with me this night, dear husband, of all nights in the year." This line is example of foreshadowing.</u>

Foreshadowing is a technique in which a piece of information is given to the audience that will later unfold into something more important, even though it seemed trivial in the beginning. <u>From Faith's line, the author hints that something might happen later that night. It might even be something bad, sinister, from the way she said "this night [...] of all nights" as if there was something either special or ominous that night. </u>We soon learn Brown is supposed to spend the night in the forest accompanied by the devil, revealing that Faith's line indeed predicted something terrible.

In the excerpt from Walden, what are Thoreau’s beliefs about industrialization? How do they fit with the broader themes of trans
kirza4 [7]

   In Walden, Thoureau presents a lesson of wisdom about the best way to life as an individual and as a social being.

   What would look like excentricity to most people, means to him a reflection about the capitalism and the advantages and disadvantages of urbanization and industrialization.

   The trancendentalism defended the vality of the intuition, and individualism. So it fits with the thoughts of Thoureau about the industrialization and reflections about life, as it is possible to confirm in Walden when a question is frequently asked about what is really important to the basic needs for the modern man to have a good life. He defends that it is possible to have a good life with the minimum of material resources to provide whatever the spirit needs, such as reading, reflections about life and nature watching. On the other hand, he afirms that it is possible to have a good life without an  excess of clothes, food or fancy houses.

Answer:

Find common ground with the opponents point of view

Explanation:

This is important to keep in mind: no matter what side you are on, you always need to be prepared for counterclaims and anticipate what the opponent might say. You need to research their side as thoroughly as your own, and finally, be able to come to some sort of a "compromise".

What is the purpose of the first paragraph of this section of the Iroquois Constitution?
omeli [17]

Answer: to describe the meaning of the shell strings.

In this excerpt, the author explains to us what the meaning of the shell strings is. He tells us that the shells symbolize the union of the nations. Option B is incorrect, as the passage does not discuss anything related to the consequences of disobeying one's tribe. Option C is similarly incorrect, as the passage does not mention any of the traditions of the Lords. Finally, the passage does not explain the history of each tribe.
