Answer:

1) B) The ocean has many beautiful things to offer, but they are best left untouched by humans.

2) D) “it held wealth / beyond measure / she left it behind for the ocean to keep.” ( Lines 17-19)

3) D) It wasn’t hers to take.

Explanation:

The author describes the great value of the treasure and how it was just lying under the ocean unexplored by humans. The diver is a human, and despite seeing clearly the immense values of this treasure, decided to leave it in the ocean. The phrase "and though she could see it held wealth beyond measure she left it behind for the ocean to keep." explains this point.

The diver left this treasure behind because she was just a diver, it was not her prerogative to go search for underwater treasures. Nowhere in the passage suggests that the treasure's wealth is limited to the ocean and useless on the land. It's wealth was even described to be beyond measure.

It was not written that she made an attempt to carry the treasure but could not due to difficulty.

How did thoreaus night in jail change his perspective

grin007 [14]

Thoreau now turns to his personal experiences with civil disobedience. He says that he hasn't paid a poll tax for six years and that he spent a night in jail once because of this. His experience in jail did not hurt his spirit: "I saw that, if there was a wall of stone between me and my townsmen, there was a still more difficult one to break through, before they could get to be as free as I was." Since the State couldn't reach his essential self, they decided to punish his body. This illustrated the State's ultimate weakness, and Thoreau says that he came to pity the State. The masses can't force him to do anything; he is subject only to those who obey a higher law. He says that he has to obey his own laws and try to flourish in this way.

The night in prison, he recounts, was "novel and interesting enough." His roommate had been accused of burning down a barn, though Thoreau speculated that the man had fallen asleep drunk in the barn while smoking a pipe. Thoreau was let in on the gossip and history of the jail and was shown several verses that were composed in the jail. The workings of the jail fascinated him, and staying in jail that night was like traveling in another country. He felt as if he was seeing his town through the light of the middle ages--as if he had never heard the sounds of his town before. After the first night, however, somebody interfered and paid his tax, and so he was released from prison the next day. Upon Thoreau's release, it seemed some kind of change had come over the town, the State and the country. He realized that the people he lived with were only friends in the good times. They were not interested in justice or in taking any risks. He soon left the town and was out of view of the State again.

In A Midsummer Night's Dream, why does Lysander, upon waking up, say that he now loves Helena, not Hermia?

Drupady [299]

The answer is:

C. Puck dropped love juice from a flower in Lysander's eyes while he slept.

In Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream," Oberon, king of the fairies, tells Puck to put the juice from a flower on Demetrius' eyes so that he will wake up and fall in love with the first woman he sees. Even though he commands Puck to make sure the first person Demetrius sees is Helena, Puck makes a mistake and gives the potion to Lysander. As a result, Lysander sees Helena first and falls in love with her, so he no longer loves Hermia.
