When the author refers to  "men whose abilities have been made for a time useless by their passions or pleasures, and who having lost one part of life in idleness, are tempted to throw away the remainder in despair," he means:

C. Men who waste their opportunities then grow mopey

Samuel Johnson is describing men who have wasted their abilities due to the pursuit of their passions and pleasures. The author is saying that men who do not put to practice their abilities end up wasting opportunities. However, these men later realize what they have lost and therefore end up being depressed*. This feeling is reflected when the author says that they "are tempted to throw away the remainder in despair." A remainder refers to what is left of something, in other words, they want to throw away the rest of their life and abilities in sadness.

*Mopey means depressed.

After reading the vignette "What Sally Said," what part of the earlier vignette "Sally"
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The second option is the correct one.

Explanation:

In "What Sally Said" we learn about the abuse she suffered at home, from her father, who is very intolerant and incomprehensible, who directs his sisters' mistakes in Sally, making her very unhappy.

Sally is often beaten and insulted, she can only leave the house to go to school and comes home walking very fast so as not to be late and provoke her father's wrath.

For this reason, we can say that the correct answer to your question is "Why does Sally look at her feet and walk quickly to the house from which" she cannot leave "?"

1. The best part of the online English class experience was the fact that I got to work at my own pace in an environment that suited me. When I’m classrooms, sometimes it’s easy for the class to go too quickly for me to understand or too slowly for me to pay any attention at all. The worst part about the experience was that there were days were I couldn’t find it in me to want to do the work. I would procrastinate way too much and not do the work. At least in class, the teacher would have kept me on topic.
3. The online class compares with my in-school class close enough because the content would still be the same and it’s not like I would miss out on any of the information. I enjoy taking my time on the stuff I enjoy or don’t understand and rushing through the stuff I don’t enjoy or already understand. It’s been beneficial to my learning because I can cater my class to my needs. Sometimes I find it difficult that I don’t have a friend or teacher readily available that can answer my questions on the spot. Like, if I have a question about the basics of a topic, and can’t proceed because I don’t understand the foundation, not having an immediate answer slows me down.

How do the duties of the vice president compares to the duties of the president
Illusion [34]

Answer:

Other than to succeed to the presidency upon the death or resignation of a president, a vice president's only constitutional duty is to preside over the Senate. Vice presidents cannot vote in the Senate, except to break a tie, nor may they formally address the Senate, except with the senators' permission.
