English

Answer:Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare early in his career about two young star-crossed lovers whose deaths ultimately reconcile their feuding families. It was among Shakespeare's most popular plays during his lifetime and along with Hamlet, is one of his most frequently performed plays. Today, the title characters are regarded as archetypal young lovers.

Romeo and Juliet belongs to a tradition of tragic romances stretching back to antiquity. The plot is based on an Italian tale translated into verse as The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet by Arthur Brooke in 1562 and retold in prose in Palace of Pleasure by William Painter in 1567. Shakespeare borrowed heavily from both but expanded the plot by developing a number of supporting characters, particularly Mercutio and Paris. Believed to have been written between 1591 and 1595, the play was first published in a quarto version in 1597. The text of the first quarto version was of poor quality, however, and later editions corrected the text to conform more closely with Shakespeare's original.

Shakespeare's use of his poetic dramatic structure (especially effects such as switching between comedy and tragedy to heighten tension, his expansion of minor characters, and his use of sub-plots to embellish the story) has been praised as an early sign of his dramatic skill. The play ascribes different poetic forms to different characters, sometimes changing the form as the character develops. Romeo, for example, grows more adept at the sonnet over the course of the play.

Romeo and Juliet has been adapted numerous times for stage, film, musical, and opera venues. During the English Restoration, it was revived and heavily revised by William Davenant. David Garrick's 18th-century version also modified several scenes, removing material then considered indecent, and Georg Benda's Romeo und Julie omitted much of the action and added a happy ending. Performances in the 19th century, including Charlotte Cushman's, restored the original text and focused on greater realism. John Gielgud's 1935 version kept very close to Shakespeare's text and used Elizabethan costumes and staging to enhance the drama. In the 20th and into the 21st century, the play has been adapted in versions as diverse as George Cukor's 1936 film Romeo and Juliet, Franco Zeffirelli's 1968 version Romeo and Juliet, and Baz Luhrmann's 1996 MTV-inspired Romeo + Juliet.

How does the setting create conflict in this excerpt?
n200080 [17]

Answer:

O The extreme cold is more than the man can endure.

Explanation:

Jack London's "To Build A Fire" revolves around the story of a man stuck in a blizzard and his eventual death. The stubborn nature of the man added to his fate, for he overturned the opinions of the old man not to venture in the cold Yukon mountains at that time. And his impulsive nature of moving ahead with his plan so that he will reunite with his friends at the camp led to the fateful journey along the cold freezing mountains.

The setting of the trial, the cold freezing atmosphere became an obstacle for him in his need to reach his destination. He knows for sure that he will <em>"freeze anyway"</em>, for he knows <em>"he had been making a fool of himself, running  around like a chicken with its head cut off."</em> And it was this conflict that emerges from the setting that forces the man to accept his fate. He found a new peace of mind, and decided <em>"to sleep off to death"</em>.

Thus, the <u>correct answer is that the extreme cold is too extreme for a man to endure, more than one can endure.</u>

3. According to the text, how did Gilmore's involvement in the movement develop over time? * (-
pshichka [43]

Answer:

Gilmore's work in the Civil Rights Movement grew over time, as she inspired others and became well-  known by activists.

Explanation:

In the text "Meet The Fearless Cook Who Secretly Fed — And Funded — The Civil Rights Movement," Maria Godoy discusses Georgia Gilmore's involvement and influence during the Civil Rights movement. This 'no-nonsense' woman not only helped propel the movement but also became one of the building blocks and supporting pillars for those involved.

Not only did Gilmore helped feed people participating in the movement through her secret kitchen, but she also helped them pay for their travel fares and got many other women to be secretly involved in the movement through their participation in selling food. Her involvement in the movement grew over time, helping inspire others with her courage, perseverance and also became well known by other activists including Martin Luther King himself.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.
