Answer:

B. Home

Explanation:

Anne Bradstreet's poem "Verses Upon The Burning of our House" recalls the time when a fire burned down her house. But the main focus is not in the burning of the house but her dejection in losing her material things. She knows that it is against her Christian belief to think of material riches when there will be no poverty in heaven. In the particular line "<em>Under the roof no guest shall sit, Nor at thy Table eat a bit</em>", the roof connotes the sense of the homely feeling that a house provides. The word roof can only mean the home.

Hello there buddy,

I believe that your correct answer to this question above would be "home".

The other option's dont seem to fit in with the word "evoke's". Evoke's mean's to "bring or recall something". So when you think of home, instead of think of a house, you think of a roof, something to keep you safe.

I hope this helps.

Pygmalion
aniked [119]

Answer:

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) the versatile dramatist used contemporary social, political and religious problems as subjects for his plays. Pygmalion, perhaps the only one of his many plays in which he points out to his audience and his readers that he has used an ancient classical myth to explore a problem that is not merely contemporary but one that has lasted through time. This myth is the story of Pygmalion – Galatea which has been told and retold by several later writers in differing forms. In the most familiar version of this myth, Pygmalion was the king of Cyprus. He was also a great sculptor who used to make beautiful statues of bronze, marble and ivory. He was devoted to his art and always sought for perfection at any. Dressed in Opera Cloak with diamonds, fan, flowers and all other accessories she passes like a Duchess, creating sensation in the whole atmosphere. Nepummuck, the marvelous interpreter (and Higgins’ previous student also to whom he taught phonetics) identifies her as a Hungarian princess. Thus her success at the ambassador’s reception is overwhelming. But the experiment is followed by its aftermath. As euphoria of triumph is over, Eliza is faced with the stark reality. She has become disclassed, left unfit for her old life and unable for her old life and unable to forge a new one Eliza is tragic in her fear and despair. Higgins is also quite unsentimental and unromantic in his approach to Eliza. Looking to this attitude of Professor Higgins Eliza shouted on him asking; “What am I fit for? Where am I to go? What am I to do? What to become of me? Higgins’ this attitude of indifference drives her to Freddy, who worships her. Eliza leaves Higgins house and so takes decisive step into the future. Shaw explains the sexual attitude of Higgins towards Eliza in terms of the Oedipus Complex. In Appendix he says “If an imaginative boy has a suffering rich mother who has intelligence, personal grace, dignity of character without harshness and a cultivated sense of the best art of her time to enable her to make her house beautiful.

What aspect of fiction did realist writers use to advance the plot of their story?. A) the effect of destiny. B) social trials.
GalinKa [24]

The right answer is D) complexity of character. Realism (1861- 1914) was an artistic movement that began in 19th century France. Artists and writers aimed for detailed realistic and factual description. They tried to represent events and social conditions as they actually are, without idealization. In the realistic plot, the character is more important than action and the plot itself; complex ethical choices are often the subject. Characters appear in the real complexity of temperament and motive. Humans control their destinies; characters act on their environment rather than simply reacting to it.
