In the opening scene of Othello, two secret acts had been performed.

1. Iago, an officer of low ranks in the Venetian army, and Roderigo, madly in love with Desdemona, are conversing about both their hatred towards Othello. Iago, because of how Othello promoted Cassio to become a lieutenant instead of giving him the position, and Roderigo because of Othello's marriage to Desdemona and how they eloped.

2. Othello and Desdemona have eloped, leaving Brabantio clueless at first and outraged when he found out.

The theme of deception had clearly been brought up, with these two secret acts, and a few other underlying factors to be considered, including:

1. Roderigo feeling deceived by Iago. The former had asked the latter to put him in good favor with Desdemona, in order for her to love him, but clearly this did not take place.

2. Brabantio feeling deceived by his daughter for running away with Othello, and not asking for his permission regarding the matter.

3. Iago confessing that he merely pretended to adore Othello when in fact, he didn't.

These deceptions supercharged the tone of deceit, jealousy, etc. in the play, leaving the reader or the audience cynical and suspicious about everything. This builds up the gravity of the situation the characters are undergoing.

Which of the following is the correct way to abbreviate this passage? “We the people of the United States, in order to form a mo
Dahasolnce [82]
It would be a. "We the people of the United States ... do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

We can rule out c immediately, because it has dependent clauses standing on its own. B. can also be ruled out, because the clause in-between the hyphen does not read correctly. A. is correct grammatically, but D. is also grammatically correct and it explains it in a quick and understandable way.

PLEASE HELP 20 POINTS IM MARKING BRAINIEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ghella [55]

We can cite it as a situation in which Mark proved to be resilient at the very beginning of the narrative, when he enters a new world and is enslaved by the residents of that region. Instead of giving up his luck and regretting his condition, he uses this difficult time of slavery, to learn the language spoken by the local residents, so at least he would understand what his "masters" spoke, which could leave slavery more bearable. In addition, Mark uses his free time to plan an escape and he even manages to escape, but returns to warn the townspeople that she will be attacked.

Another moment when he shows that he is resilient is when he is being chased by an army, inside a forest in a world that he does not know very well. Even in a disadvantaged situation, he manages to turn things around, fight for his survival and manage to escape, always with great determination and confidence.
