The story of Shahrazad and the evil king is a frame story because it is a basis and a framework for all the other stories. Shahrazad is a passionate storyteller who uses stories to save (or at least prolong) her own life. In the frame story, we learn about her current predicament: newly married, she is about to share the fate of all the previous queens, that is to be <span>deflowered </span>and executed, unless she does something to prevent it. So, to buy herself some time, she starts telling stories. With every new story she comes up with, she knows she will get at least one more night to live. The frame story has one more function: it puts forward the storytelling itself, as a life-giving gift.

It is a literary technique that serves as a companion piece to the  story within a story. The Arabian Nights is a collection of stories by Islamic authors. Though each collection features different stories, they are all centered around the frame story of Shahrayar, Shahzaman, and Scheherazade.

What was the primary cause of the Britons' success in battle, according to paragraph 6?
lions [1.4K]

Answer: B. Well-trained horses

Explanation:

The narrator in this excerpt spoke of how the horses helped the Britons fight effectively in battle. These horses were so well trained that even though this excerpt is based in the past, the training the horses had then is more or less the same as now which indicates a lack of a need or capacity to improve.

The horses would carry their masters into battle and go straight into danger without fear because they were trained to do so. This enabled the Britons to fight on chariots from which they could deal devastating blows to the enemy.

1) The statement is FALSE. It is all about how you perform your job and how professional you are. All the quotations, paraphrases, summaries, and information included in your work must be documented despite the fact that the source is not well known or common.

What does scout think of her school`s new style of education
Vikentia [17]
Since you used the name Scout, I'm guessing this is about "To Kill a Mockingbird". Hopefully I'm correct, but here we go. Scout has a new teacher when she starts going to school again. Scout already knows how to read. Every night, she and Atticus had read books together, and he had therefore taught her to read. Now, in school, they were learning to read. Since Scout had already learnt, she didn't need help. The teacher, however, did not like this. (Sorry, I can't remember the teacher's name for the life of me!) The teacher told Scout to tell Atticus that they can't read together anymore. Scout is very obviously upset.  She believes she should be able to read with Atticus because she is learning, after all. So, she dislikes the school's new approach to teaching. Hope this helps you!
