Answer:

(D) By sacrificing her own life.

Explanation:

Alfred Noyes's poem "The Highwayman", tells the story of an unnamed highwayman in love with the daughter of a landlord. The poem's setting is in rural England in the 18th century.  

The unnamed protagonist highwayman rides into town on a winter night. There, he fell in love with the daughter of the landlord, which makes Tim, another suitor of Bess, jealous. But they can't be together at once for the highwayman was after a prize. So, he asked her to wait for him, which she readily agrees.  

After he left, Tim betrays him to the authorities. The King's men kidnapped Bess and use her as bait. The men tied her up and kept a musket near her, taunting her to keep guard. Bess knows which way he will come. So, she used the rifle to kill herself, sacrificing her life just to warn the highwayman of the ambush.

Read the excerpt below and answer the question. [Janie] was stretched on her back beneath the pear tree soaking in the alto chan
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Because for her this represented the idealization of love and what she seeks in a romance.

Explanation:

The text shown in the question above is an excerpt from the book "Their Eyes Were Watching God" where we meet the character Janie, who, while trying to dream of love and romance, finds herself trapped in unhappy marriages, where she is exploited and her position as a woman is devalued.

The excerpt shows what Janie's vision of marriage was like, before she was married. When she observes the reciprocity and intimacy between the bee and the flower, she sees this encounter as the idealization of love and romance. She is thrilled to watch the bee and the flower, because that's what she expects from a wedding and that's the kind of experience she wants to have.

tankabanditka [31]
<span>Scrooge awakes at midnight, which leaves him baffled--it was well after two a.m. when he went to bed. Initially, he thinks he has slept through an entire day or that it's actually noon and the sun has merely gone under some sort of cover. He suddenly reme mbers the words of Marley's ghost. The first of the three spirits will arrive at one o'clock. Frightened, Scrooge decides to wait for his supernatural visitor.</span>
