In that pleasant district of merry England which is watered by the river Don, there extended in ancient times a large forest, co

vering the greater part of the beautiful hills and valleys which lie between Sheffield and the pleasant town of Doncaster. The remains of this extensive wood
are still to be seen at the noble seats of Wentworth, of Warncliffe Park, and around Rotherham. Here haunted of yore the fabulous Dragon of Wantley; here were fought many of the most
desperate battles during the Civil Wars of the Roses; and here also flourished in ancient times those bands of gallant outlaws, whose deeds have been rendered so popular in English song. Such being our chief scene, the date of our story refers to a period towards the end of the
reign of Richard I, when his return from his long captivity had become an event rather wished than hoped for by his despairing subjects, who were in the meantime subjected to every species of subordinate oppression. The nobles, whose power had become exorbitant during the reign of Stephen, and whom the prudence of Henry the Second had scarce reduced to some degree of subjection to the crown, had now resumed their ancient license in its utmost extent; despising the feeble interference of the English Council of State, fortifying their castles,
increasing the number of their dependants, reducing all around them to a state of vassalage, and striving by every means in their power, to place themselves each at the head of such forces as might enable him to make a figure in the national convulsions which appeared to be impending.



What does the author mean when he writes that the nobles had "resumed their ancient license in its utmost extent"?


The nobles had again sought to unite with nobles from other nations.

The nobles had again sought to pay homage and give respect to the king.

The nobles had again sought to make themselves as powerful as possible.

The nobles had again sought to share their power and wealth with the peasants.

The nobles had again sought to make themselves as powerful as possible.

In the passage, it explains that under Stephen the nobles had experienced a ton of power (the author uses the word exorbitant which shows how extremely privileged their lives were), but that Henry the Second then took a lot of their power away. Now, they are resuming their former positions (from under Stephen) to a point where they are becoming as powerful as possible.</span>

Select the four statements that together best describe how Apollo responds to Phaeton's request to drive his chariot, and place
rewona [7]

Answer:

1. Apollo promises he will give his son any gift but that of allowing him to drive the chariot.

2. Apollo tells his son that not even other gods can drive his chariot.

3. Apollo explains what will happen if his son drives his chariot.

4. Apollo reluctantly gives in to his son's request to drive the chariot.

Explanation:

When Phaethon went to his father the sun god- Apollo, to confirm his legitimacy, his father assured him that he was indeed his son. Awed by his father's magnificence and the sun-chariot, Phaethon made a request to drive the chariot when told by his father to make any request. Phaethon insisted on driving the chariot and since his father already gave his word, he could not go back on it.

Apollo initially resisted the idea and told his son to make another request. He explained that not even other gods like zeus could drive his chariot. He explained how the chariot worked and the dangers involved in it. When his son refused still insisted, he eventually had to keep his word by letting his son drive the chariot.

People reward others who are eager to put in the effort to complete all chores in order to attain success in their lives, therefore hard work must be recognized. A person who works hard enough has the discipline, dedication, and determination to accomplish his goals. It pays off by getting the things we accomplish in the end, all that you dreamed of achieving.
