Frayed- to become unraveled
tarnished- to become dull or spoiled after
bilge- dirty water that collects in corners
strojnjashka [21]3 years ago
3 0

The question concerns the definitions of the words in a poem. Here fray means to become unraveled because of constant rubbing. Of course, it is about the rope.

Tarnish means dullness or loss of color. The correct match is to become dull or spoiled after.

In informal meaning, bilge means rubbish and nonsense. However, the bilge itself is a ship's hull where the bottom of the ship meets the vertical sides and dirty water collects to that place.

What do these lines from antigone show about creon's character?creon:better, if needs be, men should cast us outthan hear it sai
fiasKO [112]
My answer would actually be a mixture of A and C but if you must choose one i would go with C the full quote
"What evils are not wrought by Anarchy!
She ruins States, and overthrows the home,
She dissipates and routs the embattled host;
While discipline preserves the ordered ranks.
Therefore we must maintain authority
And yield to title to a woman's will.
Better, if needs be, men should cast us out
<span>Than hear it said, a woman proved his match. (671-680)"

shows that Creon's view is very much "the man must be in power" </span>

Why do people love art?
Sonja [21]

Answer:

The fact that I can finally stand true in my dream and make Art simply because it's something I love to do - AND know it's legitimate way of creating and living - is a very powerful and self-affirming way to live. I feel good in my own skin when I paint and THAT's why I keep doing it.

Identify feelings or reactions related to the pandemic or any form of disaster
zmey [24]

A pandemic or any form of disaster creates a feeling of anxiety, panic, depression, and sadness.

A pandemic is a viral disease that spreads among millions of people and there is no cure to it.

When there is a natural disaster or pandemic, people lose their loved ones, their homes, and their sources of income.

This creates feelings of panic, sadness, and anxiety. They feel helpless in such situations as there is nothing that they can do to save their loved ones.

One such example is the COVID-19 pandemic. It created a feeling of fear and depression all over the world as people lost their lives and money.
