The most likely reason the author uses the <em>word hapless</em> to describe the king is A. A. It has a negative connotation, which suggests that the king is weak.

This is shown based on the given description that the prince was ready to consecrate and the king was weak and powerless and thus she told him to redeem his gifts.

<h3>What is a Connotation?</h3>

This refers to the tone used to describe a thing and can either be positive or negative and this shows the way readers view a character or situation.

Therefore, we can see that the use of the word hapless has a negative connotation as it suggests that the king is weak.

And this is shown based on the given description that the prince was ready to consecrate and the king was weak and powerless and thus she told him to redeem his gifts.

This is seen as the Queen is described as young and she is also further described as one with eyes filled with envious hate, so she treats the king with disdain as the Prince was about to be consecrated.

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer: C) The author proves that he's biased when he uses terms like "silly" and "stupid."

Explanation: The words "silly" and "stupid" are the only instances of evidence among the options, since they were taken directly from the text that is being discussed. The closest example of bringing the text's content into the discussion is in option C (stating what the author has expressed), but that option doesn't present any conclusion. Option A is presented as a personal opinion with a vague origin ("I feel") and option B tries to back the presented conclusion with an assumption ("the author obviously hates [...] fast food") instead of evidence.

List two devies of repetition in song of slves in the dessert .give examples and explain why whittier used these devices

Simora [160]

Whittier used "We" and "Thou" as forms of repetition in his song of slaves in the desert.

We: He used we as to show that basically slaves WERE NOT alone in this at all. In a way at that time, every single slave was connected with each other no matter what.

Thou: From what i have seen, Whittier is using "Thou" to refer to God. For example: "We are fools, but Thou art wise"

For the devices, he's using Anaphora for "Thou" and maybe Conduplicatio for "We".

You would use a comma. The semi colon acts when both what is in front and behind it can stand alone as a sentence. “With technology in the hands of so many people” does not make sense standing alone.

What is the central idea of from Of Wolves and Men?

REY [17]

<span>Originally Published in 1978, this special twenty-fifth-anniversary edition of the National Book Award finalist includes an entirely new afterword in which the author considers the current state of knowledge about wolves and recent efforts to rein-troduce wolves to their former habitats in American wilderness areas. Humankind's relationship with the wolf is based on a spectrum of responses running from fear to admiration and affection. Lopez's classic, careful study won praise from a wide range of reviewers and went on to improve the way books about wild animals are written. Of Wolves and Men reveals the uneasy interaction between wolves and civilization over the centuries, and the wolf's prominence in our thoughts about wild creatures.</span>
