1. There are three ways to pronounce the words ending with -s:

- [s] after a voiceless sound such as k, f, p, t, or θ (voiceless sound produces no vibration of vocal chords): cats, hats, weeks
- [z] after a voiced sound such as ð, b, d, g, j, l, m, n, <span>ŋ, r, v, w </span>(voiced sound produces vibration of vocal chords): dogs, gloves, wolves, lives
- [ɪz] after these sounds: [tʃ], [dʒ], [s], [z] (because it would be impossible to pronounce such plural words without an additional sound [ɪ]: cockroaches, watches, bridges, buses, traces, blazes

2. There are three ways to pronounce the words ending with -d:

- [d] after a voiced sound except for d, such as ð, b, g, j, l, m, n, ŋ, r, v, w (voiced sound produces vibration of vocal chords): stayed, raised, moved, returned
- [t] after a voiceless sound except for t, such as k, f, p, or θ (voiceless sound produces no vibration of vocal chords): stopped, watched, coughed, finished
- [ɪd] after d or t: departed, dated, attended, ended

Why is Macbeth's demand on the doctor ironic in act 5 scene 3?
vazorg [7]

Answer: Because Lady Macbeth is not sick, she is feeling guilty because of the murders she and Macbeth committed. The doctor can do nothing about it.

Explanation:

Upon hearing the Three witches' prophecy that he would become a king, Macbeth and his wife devise a plan to make it happen. Macbeth murders king Duncan and Banquo, which makes him haunted by guilt. He does become a king, but his life is far different from what he hoped for. Even Lady Macbeth, who had the initiative at the beginning of the play and convinced Macbeth to 'do the deed', gradually becomes weak and frightened. She starts to sleepwalk, see blood on her hands and claims that she will never be able to wash it.

In <em>Act 5, Scene 3</em>, Macbeth demands that the doctor cures her of her delusions. This demand is ironic, in that it is not possible. Lady Macbeth is simply consumed by guilt and is not feeling well because of it. No doctor will ever be able to cure her from her guilt. Macbeth is concerned both because the enemy is getting closer and because of his wife's state of mind, therefore, he cannot accept that his problems are not to be solved over night. He blames the doctor for being unable to help Lady Macbeth, while, in fact, it is only their fault that their plan did not meet their expectations.

How does Night help readers understand the historical events it depicts in ways that a textbook covering the same events might n
Tamiku [17]

Night by Ellie is a very good book to show historical events about Nazi Germany and how they treated territories that were occupied under Hitler. It does depict how life and living styles was like in Nazi controlled territories. That is my best shot at answering this, hope ur satisfied ;)
