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.

In Act II, Scene v, of The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, Juliet speaks in blank verse, but the Nurse’s replies alternate between
34kurt

Answer:

The answer is letter A, Prose indicates that the Nurse is of lower social rank than Juliet.

Explanation:

When it comes to Shakespeare's characters in his story, it is evident that his characters speak in different language techniques.

It is common for high-class characters to speak in verse style and for low-class characters to speak in prose style.<em> </em>This allows the audience to distinguish the social classes.

<em>"Blank verse</em><em>"</em> is a kind of poetry that has unrhymed lines. This is the language style of Juliet and it tells much about her social status, being a daughter of a noble family. On the contrary the Nurse replies in alternate blank verse and prose because she tries to speak in the formal language of superior people, but cannot achieve it.

A "prose" is a common language style used by ordinary people. It doesn't have a rhyme or a metric scheme.

Based on the information you read in the “What is GIS?” article, describe the purpose and function of GIS. Your answer should be
OlgaM077 [116]
The GIS is the Geographic Information System which is used for map making and related to the GPS to get the locations of things which go on the map. One advantage of the GIS is that it can store many types of information for a point on the map and hovering over that point can give one a list of the different types of information available. For example, a drill hole collar ie a discrete point can have the co-ordinates of the hole collar, the diameter of the hole, the inclination of the hole, the azimuth of the hole, dip tests on the hole, and even the assays if necessary.
