Far louder than did Hasdrubal's good wife
When that her husband bold had lost his life,
And Roman legionaries burned Carthage…

<span>My answer: Pertelote's screams are likened to the laments of Hasdrubal's wife.

I drew the conclusion that Pertelote screamed from the phrase "</span><span>Dame Pertelote assailed the ear". When the ear is involved, it usually refers to what someone hears or is hearing. In this case, Pertelotes' scream was louder than the screams of Hasdrubal's wife. 

The excerpt likened Pertelote's screams to the laments of Hasdrubal's wife but it emphasized that the screams were much louder than the lamentations.</span>

Answer:

Pertelote's screams are likened to the laments of Hasdrubal's wife

Explanation:

Hasdrubal was the Carthaginian Commander who was defeated by Romans under the rule of Scipio Africanus Minor in 150 B. C. According to historical records, his wife after his death threw herself and their two sons in the flames. Chaucer in his 'The Canterbury Tales' portrays Hasdrubal's wife differently in Franklin's Tale and the Nun's Priest Tale. In Franklins Tale she is portrayed as the figure of wifely fidelity whereas in the nun's priest tale she is portrayed as the wife who laments loudly after her husband's death.

Closely reread Act III, Scene iii, and answer these questions.
Burka [1]

Answer:

There are three murderers in the scene. The action occurs at dusk (The First Murderer: "The west yet glimmers with some streaks of day.") The scene happens near the palace, in a park. Banquo and Fleance bring a torch to the scene. The First Murderer manages to put out the light, while all three of them attack and kill Banquo. The scene lasts a couple of minutes only, and the action unfolds very quickly. The dialogue is quick, with short, interrupted lines, which is logical considering the fact that this is a murder scene. At first, while they are waiting for Banquo and Fleance to show up, their language is wordier. But then, right before and after the murder, it is swift and abbreviated, telling us that the murderers are members of a lower social class (The Second Murderer: "Then ’tis he: the rest / That are within the note of expectation / Already are i' th' court.") Banquo's last words are that he is betrayed; also, the warning to Fleance to run away to safety. Banquo realizes in an instant that this is a political murder, and that his son is the next potential victim. So, he wants to protect him. We don't see from the text how Fleance escapes.

How would a student justify inferring that "indigenous” means "originating in a particular region”?
ioda

The student would justify that "indigenous” means "originating in a particular region” by inferring the root word "gen" which means "birth," and the suffix "-ous" implies "possessing the quality of something."

<h3>What is Indigenous?</h3>

Indigenous may be defined as a process of occurring in a particular location with respect to some traits or appearances. It is also referred to as native.

The origin of the word, the meaning of the root word along with good command of the concept of prefix and suffix make the students learn and understand the basis of vocabulary in an easy and efficient way.

Therefore, it is well described above.
