The best paraphrase of Benvolio's lines is Once you see other beautiful girls at the party, you will see that Rosaline is not so special.  

We can see all the keywords in the lines:

At this same ancient feast of Capulet’s (fest is a synonym of party),

With all the admired beauties of Verona: Go thither; and, with unattainted eye Compare her face with some that I shall show, And I will make thee think thy swan a crow. (this part compares Rosaline with all the girls at the party and he assures him that he could surely find a so much more beautiful girls there)

The other options are not correct because:

If you go to the party you will see that Rosaline is, in fact, the most beautiful girl in Verona. (this sentence expresses the complete opposite of Benvolio's message)

Compare Rosaline with other girls from Verona and then decide whether she is worthy of your love. (It is not about deserving love or not, it is about Romeo realizing that she is not special at all)

There are many girls in Verona who are just as beautiful and desirable as Rosaline. (This sentence only talks about half of Benvolio's idea, reason why it is incomplete)

Excerpt from Crisis No. 1 Thomas Paine These are the times that try men’s souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot wil
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

The purpose of author to write this passage was to awaken the patriotism in the heart of his audience.

Explanation:

'The Crisis, Number 1' is a commentary written by Thomas Paine in 1776. The commentary was read before his audience on December 23, 2020. <u>The purpose of writing the commentary was to inculcate the heart of patriotism and to encourage Americans to fight against British tyranny</u>.

In his commentary, he outlined several obstacles that they had and he also desired to unite the colonies for the fight against British tyranny.

<u>In this excerpt, Thomas is stating the difference between a summer soldier and a true patriot. A summer soldier is assigned only for a period but a true soldier fights even in the harshest winter. The essay is considered as one of the most apt persuasive essay, as Paine has vividly tried to persuade his audience.</u>

I need someone to proofread this please. Can you point out any grammar or punctuation errors you find?
laila [671]
The biggest issue with this is that the first sentence is run-on, you should consider breaking it into smaller sentences, maybe by getting rid of the "and" after describing the mother, replacing it with a period and letting the father get a sentence of his own. Also, you could try "-on how happy the Railway family is. The story also uses detail on how nice the parents are-" something along those lines, just to break the run-on sentence?

This is minor, but at the end "creates a sense of perfection, by describing their house-" the comma before by isn't necessary, and can either be deleted, or you can rephrase like "a sense of perfection. The story does this by describing-"

I hope this helps! <span />
