1 answer:

He smiled understandingly — much more than understandingly. It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life.

This tells us how much Nick is taken with Gatsby.

Review Friar Laurence’s soliloquy in Act II, scene iii of Romeo and Juliet.

mylen [45]

Answer:

Second Option: Friar Laurence contrasts the good and bad uses of herbs.

Fourth Option: Friar Laurence explains to the audience his use for herbs.

Explanation:

"Romeo and Juliet" is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616).

Friar Laurence's Soliloquy takes place in scene iii of act ii. Romeo after meeting Juliet in later parts of the night visits friar early in the morning. Before Romeo reaches there Friar Laurence is busy collecting some medicinal and poisonous herbs. He is also talking to himself (soliloquy). Soliloquy ends when Romeo reaches, bids Friar good morning and asks for his help in marrying Juliet.

In the soliloquy, Friar first mentions weeds which may either be medicinal or poisonous depending on their use. Some medicines smell very nice, but may be poisonous when eaten. The same flower may be good if used one way, and poisonous if used in another way. Friar Laurence is actually foreshadowing the impacts and Romeo and Juliet's love, which may prove deadly for them, but will bring peace to the families who have been fighting seemingly for ever.

Friar Laurence does not directly mention that he will use these herbs, however there are some references to this fact e.g.

"I must upfill this osier cage of ours

With baleful weeds and precious-juicèd flowers"

However he directly mentions good and bad uses of herbs in lines,

"For naught so vile that on the earth doth live

But to the earth some special good doth give.

Nor aught so good but, strained from that fair use

Revolts from true birth, stumbling on abuse.

Virtue itself turns vice, being misapplied,

And vice sometime by action dignified."

First and fifth options are not correct because there is no mention of cooking the herbs, or his role as friar.

Third option is incorrect because it is a soliloquy, and it occurs before Romeo reaches there.

LOOK I READ A LITTLE OF THIS HISTORY AND THIS IS MY ESSAY :::::: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's legendary detective, Sherlock Holmes, is, of course, a fictional character. But will it be possible to learn to be a master of deduction?To solve the most disconcerting cases, Holmes thinks outside the conventional frameworks, as well as within them. In fact, he thinks even in the frames themselves.It is this attention to detail-all the details-that allows him to make the most extraordinary inferences.As it does?It is as difficult as it seems to be, but it can be done. So get ready for a lesson in observation and reasoning in the manner of Sherlock Holmes.Although he himself asserts, Sherlock Holmes's powers of deduction are anything but elementary.Making a single connection can be easy but there is a complex science to unite all the points. Two factual sciences: forensic medicine and criminology, and Sherlock Holmes could be considered a pioneer of both.Forensic science is the analysis of physical evidence to link a suspect to a crime.Sherlock Holmes did not hesitate to adopt some of the field's innovative methods, using fingerprints to solve the case in "The Sign of the Four", published in 1890, more than a decade before Scotland Yard adopted the practice in 1901.The criminal profiling field also has more than a little Sherlock

Merciful over all his works, with good

Still overcoming evil, and by small

Accomplishing great things, by things deemed weak

Subverting worldly strong, and worldly wise

By simply meek; that suffering for Truth’s sake

Is fortitude to highest victory,

A man should be worldly wise but never weak.

Answer: Option C.

Explanation:

In the excerpt which has been given above, it talks about the strength of a man. According to this, a man should be very strong, he should not be weak. But this does not mean that he can speak without thinking what to speak and can speak what ever he wants to.

A man should think before he speaks. He should be very wise while choosing his words but this does not mean that he should not show his strength through words.
