Hello. This question is incomplete. The complete question is:
With infinite complacency men went to and fro over this globe about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter.
What idea do the words little and serene suggest in this text?
The idea that humans crave challenges and activity
The idea that human size was insignificant to that of Martians
The idea that humans were insignificant and oblivious
The idea that humans were obsessed with small things
Answer:
The idea that humans were insignificant and oblivious
Explanation:
The words "little" and "serene" convey a sense of inferiority and lack of importance. They were used in the text to show that men and the actions provoked and carried out by them are unimportant, without depth. These men and their actions were insignificant and oblivious, they were so small that they did not cause any relevant circumstances and for that reason the men presented a serenity, since they knew that they were not provoking anything.

Hi. This question requires you to use your creativity and drafting skills and for that reason, I can't write the letter for you, but I can show you how to write it and that's what I'm going below.
To begin writing the letter, you must imagine yourself as Douglas' mother and think about how upset you were about your son's accident in the YMCA pool, which was left completely under supervision. After imagining the situation you can write the letter as follows:
- Start by making a statement to the person you are writing the letter to. You can start with "Dear Mr/Mrs...."
- Begin a second paragraph by introducing yourself, and showing why this letter is being written. Then comment on the accident and give reasons why you believe the YMCA authorities are responsible for this accident.
- Start the third paragraph giving suggestions on how this problem can be resolved and claiming something that should be done to prevent new accidents from happening.
- End the letter by stating that you hope these issues will be resolved quickly and that you hope all families can have good experiences with the YMCA in the future. Remember to be polite throughout the letter.
