In the text, Jonathan Swift claims that he has "digressed" when he began to talk about the conditions that the poor experience nowadays. He claims that many people might wonder why he is not paying proper attention to the poor people everywhere who are starving or who are homeless. However, he claims that he does not believe this to be a big problem, as these poor people are constantly dying off, and will therefore soon cease to be a problem.

This statement, as cruel as it might sound, is intended to expose English injustice. In these lines, Swift implies that people claim to be horrified by his proposal. However, they still do not do anything to alleviate the suffering of those who live on the streets. Moreover, he shows that although the English might not kill and eat babies, they do let the poor die with no concern, which is not necessarily much better.

Which of the following does NOT support the conclusion that Hamlet is a complex character?
Firlakuza [10]
The statement that does not support the conclusion that Hamlet is a complex character is : Hamlet is intelligent and attended university at Wittenberg. Surely, all the events that occurred during Hamlet's period of being a Wittenberg student is a significant point of the plot that has influence on the whole story. But, the question is to find a characteristic which does not describes the main character as complex, and this option is not suitable in this case. This is the only option that contains a fact from his life but does not reflect how versatile and dynamic Hamlet is.

Combine these sentences by turning one of them into a phrase.
vichka [17]

Answer:

The right way to combine the sentences by turning them into a phrase is the following one:

(D)Icy winds, which blow across Antarctica throughout the year, make the continent seem even colder.

Explanation:

If we want a phrase, all we need is a subject and a predicate. Therefore, by adding the relative pronoun "which" referring to the icy winds we form a more concise phrase with a subject (Icy winds,...) and a predicate (...which blow across Antarctica throughout the year, make the continent seem even colder).  It is clear that all that appears after the subject refers to it and its acts, that is, it is said in the phrase that icy winds do two things:

1- they blow across Antarctica throughout the year.

2- they make the continent (Antarctica) seem even colder.
